  • story84 mentions

    The game's story is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its engaging narrative and character development, particularly within the context of the Three Kingdoms theme. However, some users express frustration over pacing issues, such as scenes transitioning too quickly and a desire for more time to read dialogue. Overall, while the story is considered enjoyable and immersive, there are calls for improvements in localization and pacing to enhance the experience further.

    • “Could be great if even a little bit more effort was put into localizing the story.”
    • “However, the story goes by too fast. I was reading halfway, then the scene just jumps to the next. I would rate 5 stars if you would give more time to read the storylines.”
    • “Story is a mess, beginner's friendly.”
  • monetization75 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized for being a blatant cash grab, with many users reporting misleading advertisements that promise substantial rewards and features that are not delivered in-game. Players express frustration over the reliance on pay-to-win mechanics, deceptive gift codes, and a leveling system that favors those who spend money, leading to a perception of the game as a scam. Overall, the consensus is that the game's monetization practices are exploitative and detract from the overall experience.

    • “I like this because there are no ads, allowing for free gameplay. The pulls for heroes aren't high luck, and it's great that when you have enough points, you can get a good hero at 1200 points. I like that it's similar to another game I played, but this one is the best!”
    • “So far, no ads either.”
    • “It's a fun game with no ads.”
    • “Not going to fall for this cash grab app.”
    • “This game really is a fraud. I have seen the ads many times, and they show that by using the gift codes you can get awesome rewards like getting VIP 12. Of course, it couldn't be real, but it still aroused my interest to play the game and try out the gift codes. However, the rewards are not that great. Tips for the developers: if you want to invite players to play and enjoy the game, let the rewards be real and not just some fake ads to lure players in.”
    • “The ads say there is a code, but after I tried it, nothing happened.”

    • “Looks like there could be a lot of grinding in the future though as a lot of modes are level locked.”
    • “I only stayed for two reasons: one was to find out if it gets better after grinding it out (it doesn't), and two because I'm a fan of the Three Kingdoms.”
    • “For free-to-play players like myself, it is really grindy and you have to do daily tasks every day to keep up with the pay-to-win players.”

Overall, the combination of technical problems and a pay-to-win system contributes to a negative emotional experience for users.

    • “I take it back, this game is so unfair. When I finally got one of the rarest heroes in the game after the update, it showed that I needed to re-login. When I tried, it said the password was incorrect, and when I went to 'forgot password,' it still said my email was incorrect. I think I got hacked. Just when I was having fun, I even gave this a good review, then this happened. It made me cry because I played so much, and now this happened. I feel devastated. It won't let me sign up, login, or be a guest; it's useless.”
