to whoever made this game an ad on my fyp for tiktok: i hate you and i love you. i hate you because now i’m gonna play this game forever, and i love you for the same reason. i’ve already spend 3 hours playing and haven’t made it through a dent of the games energy. i could play for so many more hours and not have to spend money, i love you i love you i LOVEEEE YOU! my god. oh my god. the developers?? ATE IT UP AND LEFT THE DINNER TABLE EARLY BECAUSE THERES NO FOOD LEFT!! the art design of each character: insane. there is SO MUCH detail in each design, and there’s SO MANY CHARACTERS. i’m sure we learn then down the line but its funny when you pull for them and they’re just… you’ll know when you play. but the dialogue, the voice actors (i play in japanese dub, it’s so good im cryin). AND THEN THEIR ATTACK? THEIR ULT? u gotta be kiddin me. i just sat here with my mouth agape. ur lying. and i’m the type of person that HATES turn based games, so when i found out how the gameplay was i was gonna delete it but wanted to try it to see how it ran, and wow. y’all changed my mind. i want to thank you! i know i sound crazy but i don’t even write reviews unless a game did that much impact in my opinion. to the creators: you care so much about the game you created and it shows in the way it breaths. i hope you’re all proud of yourself, because you deserve to be.
I’ve played and quit dozens of iOS games including but not limited to Diablo Immortal, Undawn, and AFK Arena but Reverse: 1999 has been the only game worthwhile. It has great characters, amazing art style, outstanding graphics, and a truly addictive gameplay! I can say with confidence that this game is not a pay to win but is still worth every penny. My only complaint is the mind numbing the dialogue, it’s long and boring and I always end up skipping it so I never know what’s going on story wise. I do however appreciate the voiced dialogues as it is a breath of fresh air from all the reading you have to do in other games. This game has lots to do to keep you busy and the only thing I would say to help improve it is to keep adding more content. Particularly the gameplay is the biggest appeal for me so more action please! Also maybe more exciting and relevant dialogue so that I can be more invested in the story which is half the interest/reason to play in almost every game. Other than that there’s not much else to say except that this is truly a game worth playing and maybe the only iOS game worth downloading.
The game is great at first, it has good designs, graphics, story and various development options. For example, if you run out of energy and can no longer continue with the main story, you can alternate it with the artificial sleepwalking event, which does not require energy, trying to improve your heroes each time. However, there are only 3 small things that should be improved: 1. The material crafting system. These should be materials that can be obtained in any of the battles in the main game and not from the events that accompany it, since that way it is more viable to obtain them even if it costs time and energy, but if they ask for materials that are only obtained in the events, these sooner or later. 2. The arcanist system, there are some arcanists that we will never use nor have we used even once in the game, but even if we don't want to, they usually improve their "portray", if there was some way to generate an event where certain heroes have to be used, This could allow players to make use of these arcanists and at the same time obtain achievements, materials, etc. instead of having them lag behind. 3. The replay system of the game should have skip in the battles x1 x2 x3 and x4, at the beginning it is fun to see what plays you made, but then it becomes boring and you just want to save time.
Story is good, voice acting is good, designs are great and not insanely fan servicey, design and aesthetic are unique. English is so good and different languages and accent. We have a female main protag! Most of the characters are viable even fours stars. Rate and gems are decently generous. But the grind is insane, don’t play this as your main game. After the first two weeks you have nothing to really do but daily’s and grinding for end game. No sweep, seriously can we have a sweep or at least increased the multiplier like 10x, replay kinda stuck. Why doesn’t it scale with character level and we have to redo it, why can’t we change the 4 slot as that character is literally there to bond grind. There is also no hard pity for 5 stars that we want. How about this method that is a win win. First include a selector where you select which 5 stars you want. Basically this is how it would work: every 20 pulls you are guaranteed a RANDOM 5 stars, if the first 5 stars isn’t the rate up character, the next 5 stars would be ONE of the rate up character, if the 5 star isn’t the one selected then you get your selected 5 star. It is a 60 hard pity for six stars you want and it will still earn the same money and be more fair
One thing is for certain, this is no Honkai Star Rail levels of gameplay. Both are turn based but this is understandably slower with seemingly no auto-battle function for the exception of repeating battles. (Which plays your fastest recorded time over and over as a sped up playback to earn more resources.) This game is very heavily focused on narrative, with questionable age in character’s designs while others are absolute MOMMIES. The characters have their own uniqueness to them and I find myself playing around with different characters. WARNING: Acquiring currency for the Gacha seems like a slow process, because of the dialogue and story, you may skip this, but may quickly find yourself lost as to what’s going on in the story, and not having much content to play if gone through too quickly. Some of the voices are reminiscent of using AI voices, which I hope is not the case. Pronunciation of words and delivery of sentences feel strange and disconjointed at times. I still find myself immersed in the immensely detailed story, though some emotions are lacking in dialogue for particularly heavy scenes. Anyways that’s all from me! Might even make a video covering it at Regashu on YT.
I don’t think I’ve ever written a review for anything in the App Store, but this game is just so good it deserves one. I was originally drawn in by the art style in the Instagram ad I saw, and after playing the game, it definitely did not disappoint. I personally think that this is hands down the most beautiful game I’ve ever played. Both the art and the music are incredibly enjoyable — this game is aesthetically pleasing in ever way. Sometimes, when my game is in its cooldown period, I’ll just leave it open to have the music play in the background. I will admit that it did take a bit of time for me to understand the gameplay and mechanics, but once I went through the tutorials and played a little, I was able to pick it up easily. Now, I am truly addicted and invested. Also, I’ve been loosely following along with the dev announcements on Twitter, and it really seems like they are constantly listening to feedback and releasing fixes as quickly as they can. It’s only been about a week since the game’s release, but I hope I can continue to enjoy this game for a long time!
Yes it is definitely one of the best games I’ve played this past year of my life. I play plenty of games on PC and on PS5 and this game truly competes with those games for me. The game is very generous with what it provides to its players. Plus, for this being a gacha, it doesn’t feel like it disrespects my dollar. If you login once a day for 10 minutes maximum and have the monthly subscription you can easily acquire close to 50 pulls for “free” per month if not more depending on the update. The rates are also on the better side for a system that also has a pity system in it. All business aside, the gameplay is simple to understand but harder to master. Within a year I have been able to get multiple maxed out teams together. That being said the story is genuinely good and thought out. They just finished the 1.0 story with this update and it ends on a strong note. I’ve fallen in love with the characters and designs. It is one of the only mobile games I call a real game. Well worth at least a try.
So, I've played ever since the server launched in global, and this game is very amazing, fun, and unique! But.. I fear for the future of this game with what's going on with things so far. It's becoming boring and repetitive with just logging in for a few minutes to do dailies, and trying to beat limbo mode and failing only to log off for the rest of the day or until stamina refills. We can't summon much in this game, and I feel like portraits will at this rate have a bigger impact in the future than they should as long as people who are f2p struggle to even get a limited character. The gacha rates arent the best at all. I would love to see this game shine and improve over time, but I don't think I will play any longer if this keeps going and gets worse for f2p players especially. Edit: I changed it to 2 stars from 4 stars. I uninstalled the game a month ago and it just got so boring and it started to feel like a chore to log on everyday just for dailies. I also absolutely dislike the fanbase for this game as it's full of perversions. Even the game talks about s*xual things and has characters in really inappropriate outfits! I loved the game for months ever since it launched globally but this is definitely a game I would advise anyone to stay away from.
There’s a lot of forced tutorial sections that slow down the pace of the story and makes the game feel annoying to get through and even boring at times. The character designs feel generic and honestly a little boring to look at some times. One of the highs to this game is most certainly the voice acting and the story which takes characters from certain European story’s or world events which in turn makes the story exciting and eventful if you have the context behind the characters, but unfortunately this gets bogged down by the game slamming the breaks between story quest to make you do a tutorial which can be very infuriating after awhile of going through the motions. The gacha system isn’t overly unfair compared to other games on the market but like I said before the character designs are nothing to write home about and can take away from the voice acting at some points in my personal opinion. I realize the game is just coming out and has more planned for the future updates but at this point it still feels incomplete and honestly it drags on much like this crap review, so if you didn’t like reading all the way to the bottom of this you’ll probably have trouble getting through this game.
The best thing about this game is that while it’s still a gacha game, it doesn’t have a huge pressure for you as a player to spend money. For me at least, this made me want to support the game and spend the occasional $10-20 every month on the monthly passes. You’re not racing against anybody other than just trying to improve your team and beat the content. And even if you don’t 100% the limited event that’s fine, you just try again during the next limited event. The game is generous with currencies and material. Plenty of time to complete dailies and events. Quality wise? 5/5. The art style. The diversity of characters and designs. The move sets. The endless choices for team compositions. Story is fine and voice acting (I play Japanese on iPad and English on my phone so I hear both) is impeccable. One thing I gripe about is that the bosses are always immune to control which is a little annoying but I guess that’s a challenge for me to overcome.
Title explains a lot but the story is worth a shot at overlooking most of that for several hours in game so far, if you can get over the summoning pay to win part...but sheesh man rarely (in my opinion) do any of these games pull me in with their story/80% completely voice acted out by talented people for basically every character I've gotten so far. Thankfully they are more generous than many of these summoner games. It's very interesting so far, I hope I don't hit a pay wall later in the game if I get leveled enough that I have to spend money to advance like a lot of these kinds of games do after you reach a certain point. Some are better about it though so I am willing to overlook these cons due to the story being intriguing and extremely well voice acted almost the entire series by far. Great game I'd recommend to people who like gacha with a story that pulls you in for hours. I've become used to skipping through to get to the battles but I love the lore so much, I had to leave a review when I rarely ever even do.
i’m absolutely in LOVE WITH THIS GAME‼️‼️‼️ the characters the story to the english dub of it!! its like THE GAME!!! the narrative is amazing and the story telling is unique and uses the medium it has well (visual novel style) and how you’re basically required to know at least some of the story to progress. i love the turn based system, which isn’t something i originally expected to enjoy. it’s fun and allows me to truly strategize and prepare for the battles i’ll be facing—which is something i’ve almost never encountered with any other game. also—you guys NEED to pay your character artists more, because they do an AMAZING job at the characters, perfectly showcasing them and their personality without having to speak at all. i also love how small the game is in size—being mostly 2d after all. it’s something my phone won’t blow up over and i love that. my computer is so able to handle the game perfectly too. THANK YOU BLUEPOCH YOU ARE MY FAVORITE DEVS
If you’re not playing this PHENOMENAL game, you are MISSING OUT A LOT.
If you’ve seen the ad, you know how compelling the story is & how stunning the art is. If you love genshin or hsr you will love this game maybe even more than those games bc this game does everything in the best way possible that any other best games in the related field would have done. My favorite part of the games are the visual & they absolutely knocked out the standard of the competition. The character designs & writing are magnificent. The low rarity character look as amazing as the high rarity one. Even the npc is given some attention to details too The voice act is impeccable & top-notch. I’m more of a player who play for visual than combat but I enjoy the battle so much because the animations & audios are just so breathtaking that listening to it & watching it so many time I still don’t get bored. The game can be grindy depending on your goals but for casual player this game is so generous. The gacha pity is way better than genshin & hsr. You even get 2 FREE 5 stars. The music is just as good. This game deliver it all. Obviously I’m not experience w the combat to give any comment but if you have seen my praise for how good this game is at what it does, you bet they would do the combat just as amazing as well. The more I play this game the more I love it. Thank you Reverse1999 developers for making this masterpiece.
Fun twist on familiar gameplay, with lot’a of extras
First, this is a character cards based gotcha game. You choose three-four characters, they bring their cards into battle, and you use those to attack. You’ll meet most of the characters in the story, which is fun, if sometimes long winded (see this review, takes one to know one.) You get the characters by spinning for them. (The economy of gatcha games. there are several games like it, with the similar main gameplay. But I think this one is different enough to be interesting. The art and animation of the attacks are awesome, (especially the rarer, characters) and there is some strategy beyond elemental Rock-paper-scissors, and overpowering the enemy. But also there are several other fun aspects to the game, the twist on base building: making your own island wilderness is fun, and there are lots of different mini games in the expansions and side quests. Gatcha rates have been good for me so far, but let’s hope that’s not just a honeymoon launch effect. All in all pretty fun!
Really fun so far with many things to make it stand out
So far, I’ve been really impressed with everything I’ve seen so far. Gameplay’s similar to other turn based games, which isn’t a bad thing, but it also has a few unique elements to it that make it interesting. Art style looks great, both in gameplay and in cutscenes, with many pretty visuals. Story has been keeping me engaged so far and the characters have mostly been pretty fun to experience, especially Regulus and Vertin. By far the best thing about it though is the EN voice acting though! I highly recommend playing the game with EN dub as the voices really give the characters a unique feature that’s gives them a lot of personality while also making them sound different from most other EN dubs in gachas I think. Can’t wait to see what else the game has in store in the future!
From the start when i had first downloaded the game, i loved the art and characters and storyline. it was absolutely perfect, but it did take time for me to build and grind for materials, such as for insight and levels. but after literally a week of playing i was reported for melware/hacking, for absolutely no reason. mind you, i have zero idea on hacking knowledge, and not to mention as a student, i have a D- in coding. but that's besides the point. i emailed their support email and team, 12 times. no response. i even sent them screenshots of the rules and my explanation on how it all went down. just so you know... once i find you reverse: 1999 team, its going down. i wasted $120 on pulls, and then got banned. please respond to my emails or i will actually go banana's. you unruly banned my account til JUNE. JUNE 31ST OF 2024. WHAT THE FREAK. I ONLY KNEW THIS BECAUSE I HAD TO GET MY GIRLFRIEND TO CALCULATE YOUR CONFUSING TIME FRAMES. anyways, if you dont respond to my emails in a timely fashion like i have jsut said in the past few paragraphs, get ready for a lawsuit and a fee.
I will preface this by saying that I have never been a story fan, I’ve always skipped most story (especially in games like g*nshin *yawn*). Story: This game made me love story. I’m no professional in writing but every single storyline feels like a whole movie and makes me forget time. The recent philosophy storyline is SO GOOD its definitely my favorite in any game. The art is beautiful, and the characters have great backstories. I especially loved tooth fairy’s (and 37s recently). I do hope we’ll get to see a bit more of the backstories of some 5* characters as well. Gameplay: might not be for everyone but the game isn’t as grindy as other gachas at the very least. It’s turn based, and I find it pretty fun. I do wish we could have a quick clear x6 or something bc sometimes i have stockpiles of stamina. Currency for pulls: as with most gacha, you dont need to spend money, but you would benefit a lot from just the 5 dollar monthly pass. Skins aren’t more than 10 dollars (the cost of a battle pass). Very ftp friendly. Recent patch as of this review is the prisoner of the cave storyline update, and the voice actors really popped off (shoutout to Regulus’ english VA especially; I loved her). Its clear that the devs love this game, and i find the extra video shorts they create so cute. Keep up the good work!
I was drawn to this in by the art but this is seriously a beautiful game. So far the story is mysterious but interesting. Character art is gorgeous and they have unique personalities. Characters actually feel alive. The soundtrack is also really nice. On a side not another feature, I really liked was the protagonist. I just really like the idea of having a serious cool type female protagonist. This is really the icing on the cake because I’m thankful to be able to play a female protagonist. For beautiful games like this that is a rarity in itself. Even if you are able to play a lady it is obvious that the game has a target audience making the game uncomfortable. On a side note for players that this might bother. This game has a female protagonist(as of right now, I don’t know the future) however there is no specific target audience. So it is enjoyable for all counterparts. Honestly it’s a great game.
I’ve been playing this on and off for a while now, but the reason I keep coming back is because of just how absolutely drop dead GORGEOUS the characters, art, voice acting, just everything is beautiful. I mean, sure, I may have not payed attention for the first bit of the story… but that’s not important, the voice acting is nothing short of amazing. I especially love the diverse range of accents and stuff, it’s refreshing to hear. Also, the game is very generous when it comes to in game rewards. I haven’t spent a penny, but it’s still very possible to get most things, probably more than I have if you play consistently. All in all, it’s just a fun game. There’s a lot to do, so you won’t be running out of things to do for a while unless you’re trying to steamroll through the whole game in one sitting or something.
This game is so addicting..The combat is so exciting and when I learn a new trick I literally say out loud, “ Oh.. wait that’s so smart!” Everything is really easy to learn and the early gameplay rewards and very nice. Only thing I could see getting better is the voice quality of the characters, but it doesn't seem to be much of a bother. The accents of all the different characters are also very refreshing despite the quality. The story is pretty easy to understand. The beginning was definitely a little confusing, but everything was explained after unlike some other games I’ve played.. Anyways, this is definitely a 10/10 game if you have some free time and want to try something new. I look forward for more characters to be released and story quests, can’t wait till then!
I have always loved the thought of travelling through different dimensions. Although this isn't exactly the same, it gives off a similar vibe. Not only are the characters incredible, the voice acting and plot are also phenomenal. I also enjoy their willingness to take feedback from all players, not just paying ones, as well as trying to garner a flourishing community though different players. I'd definitely reccomend this game to anyone in need of a quick reality escape. You don't have to grind for much of anything and can play casually if you just want to get the plot. There is so, so much I want to say but I'll stop here. I've been playing on the english server since around the time of It's release and I hope to continue playing until I am unable to.
This game felt pretty different from my past games, like Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail because Reverse: 1999 has such diversity in their characters design and voices and their in-game combat. Both Genshin & HSR was a struggle at first, but once you get good characters, the game feel like a simple tap of a button! Reverse: 1999 on the other hand made you actually decide and strategize before you do anything, even with the best characters people would put in their A-S tierlist! Now, another thing is the voice actors and story. If you LOVE ton dialog and storytelling then this game is just for you! The characters VA will even satisfy your experience through the story because wow, it is so different and unexpected; a good thing. Overall, definitely should try out if you loved the games Honkai related games, Genshin, and etc. If so, HAVE FUN!!
The game is very pretty (but you probably need a larger phone to really appreciate it, as a lot of text is a bit too small on iPhone mini). The gameplay is ok, yet another twist on the same formula that countless other games have. I have not played enough to say much about how difficult/expensive it is to get characters to high levels, and probably won’t. The main problem for me is a story which is ok at macro level but rather nonsensical in the details, and an absolutely terrible, probably machine generated, English translation (you have enough money to have voice acting, but not to have a native English speaker proof-read the text? Really?) They are obviously trying to imitate games like Arknights in how the story goes, but failing rather spectacularly at that. So if you have a larger phone, and prefer to skip through cutscenes, it may be a game for you, otherwise there are many better options.
I love the game so far! It’s extremely f2p friendly but does have a couple p2w items that will help your progress just like any other game. I think it’s a lot more f2p friendly though because if you get a 6 star character, you don’t need to get copies as the resonance/constellation system (called portrayal in this game) doesn't increase your skills’ dmg that much. The combat system is unique because it doesn’t really take skill per day it just requires you to think a couple steps ahead so that you don’t waste attacks or buffs of any kind. I think it’s a really cool game, especially if you like Honkai Star Rail or Dislyte as the set up of the game is very similar to the two. Definitely try out this one as I have some high hopes for it. (Although there is no open world mechanics like HSR 😢)
I received ads for Reverse: 1999 about a month before it released, since its contents are linked to Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Honkai Impact 3rd. I got the game, and wow, was I amazed. The art style is beautiful, the main character is expressive, and you don’t need to spend too much time playing to enjoy the game as a whole. Battles are fun with the merging card based abilities, and watching the ultimates of characters play out. It’s also rather fun watching characters like TTT or Poltergeist attack, since they’re such unique characters. There is an issue with the dialogue that gets displayed due to translation errors, but those are always fixed up quickly. The voice-acting is top-tier, and really immerses you into the game. All in all, best game I’ve played, and one I’ll definitely keep playing.
I’ve played this game since it was released. Got 5 6-star characters, 7 times of getting 6-star characters. The summon rate of getting 6 stars has never been lower than 60 summons (the game guarantees to give you a 6-star within 70 summons). The only time I get a 6-star character less than 60 summons is when I quit the game temporarily and came back. Do you really think this is ok? Do you think I’m willing to play this game knowing you are destroying my gaming experience? I’d rather spend money on other games that have some conscience. My advice is that know you will not be “lucky” in this game, and the summon system is basically a way to trick you to buy more expensive summons. I would say the gaming content, art, and character are great, but know that the summon system is manipulating you to make irrational choices. They want you to feel like you are really close to get what you want, so it is ok to spend unnecessary amount of money. I think it is disgusting for a game to make their players become gamblers. Good luck.
reverse 1999 has caught my eye for a long time before global release. i fell in love with the art style, graphic design, story concept, and voice acting. everything visually about this game is absolutely gorgeous, and even the music is stunning. the main story of the game is so interesting and makes you want to play the next stage until there is no more. though, i wish the main story would update faster because based on the cn server, we will finally get a new chapter in 1.4 which is 4 patches after launch. since one of reverse 1999's core aspects is the story, i would love it if the main story updated faster. in addition, i think the combat is easy to learn, but also gets complicated once you drive deeper into it. i appreciate this since it's good for both players who are not that worried about combat and for players who love to analyze every little detail. the rewards from mail and events are average i'd say, not amazing but not bad either. in conclusion, i've been playing reverse 1999 everyday since launch, and i see myself continuing to do so for a very long time. i hope the devs will continue to listen to feedback as it is very important if i want to keep playing this game.
The art style is so pretty, and the visuals are beautiful, too. The voice acting threw me off a little, bc I've never heard such real voices in a story game, or really any game like this. The character’s voices gives them so much personality and I absolutely love it! Also, all of the character designs are so cute. Especially the little blue-green radio 🥺 The only semi-negative thing I have to say about this game is that the storyline is a bit confusing at first. It took me a few chapters to sort of understand the reverse setting and all of the different terms. Although the game file is big, it doesn't drain too much of my battery quickly. It did take a few minutes to download and start up the game, but it doesn't lag or make my device overheat. All in all, I really like this game so far 🤗
The story is fine and and the events are great but as I was looking at how we can’t just auto play everything and we have to pick cards to fight, it’s such a strategic game. Which got me thinking why isn’t there a real time pvp arena like summoners war unless y’all thought about it and can’t find out how your going to do it. this game has potential to be big in the gaming industry I would love to play my team against others. Well that’s just my thoughts on the game if it matters at all, but i give u guys a five star because there’s not many games out here that can compete with the bigger games like epic seven or raid, and like i said this game has great potential. i look forward to what u guys have in store for us that are addicted to this game
I think this game is good. I love the setting, the art, and the character design. Everything relating to presentation is spot on. No complaints here. When it comes to gameplay, again, it’s good. I just have a couple gripes. I do enjoy turn-based combat, and I think that it’s implemented well. My issue (maybe not for others) is that there is no setting to display exact hitpoint and damage values at a glance during battle. I mean sure, you can see detailed hitpoints if you tap and hold a character, but there’s no way to see the precise amount of damage that your character’s spells will do. Again, some people might not care about this. But for me, precise stats are needed in a turn-based game, because that can be the difference between ko-ing an enemy and leaving it a 1 HP and screwing your round. There’s also crap gacha pricing. Trust me, as a guy who’s been playing Genshin F2P for 2 years now, I would know. But plenty of other people are already complaining about that in other reviews, so I won’t waste your time here. This isn’t a deal-breaker for me, I’m still going to play the game because I like the artistic presentation, but a slider in the settings that displays advanced battle stats for people who want it would be nice. Help me out devs. Thank you!
This game has been the only RPG that keeps my attention for more than ten minutes, I’ve spent hours on this game. IT IS JUST WOW! The plot twists, the amazingly easy way to earn stuff to level your characters up, the also very easy way to get six star characters it just amazes me! And their voice acting is just wow, they have so many different voice actors here’s a few Russian, French, British English, American English, and just so many more voices! In almost every RPG I’ve played the voice actors who try to do a different language it mainly just sounds offensive but this game has actual people from these places and it means a lot! If you are a fan of a fantasy Si-Fi, and amazing voice acting, this game is fit for you!
Wow, what a lot to take in at first, this game isn’t very complex but the amount of different items available at launch can be confusing. LOVE the artwork and voices, they did a good job. The gameplay is easy and just requires a tiny bit of thinking. THIS GAME IS NOT MEANT TO BE PLAYED QUICKLY! You’ll run out of content fast, and the in game currency is pretty good at launch but you’ll be wanting to login everyday to get them. Conclusion: great looking game with easy gameplay and various team builds but leans heavily on casual play. The story so far is good but it just launched, it should be. Biggest downfall, I don’t think I’ve seen worse pull rates, and it seems there are A TON of characters. The gacha system is gonna be unforgiving. 4 out of 5 stars. Would be 5 if the pull rates were better.
What if you 🫵🏼 were bored and god 👆🏽 said: “Reverse 1999” I’ll tell you what, you’d be jumping in joy and praisin the lord. Everything about this game hits the mark. Voice acting, story telling, art, character designs/lore/models, even the gacha system is acceptable. In other games, I usually run into the disappointment of really liking a character, but said character not being strong enough to clear content. In this game, that doesn’t apply because it’s a strategy game. In other words, even the worst kits are viable if you play your cards right. That’s just the kind of game I love! And now my only problem is that I can’t last two minutes without going back to this game. Woe is me
possibly one of the best mobile games I have played thus far
Now this game is quite incredible, the story is interesting and short enough to keep you from getting bored and long enough for it to be good, the gameplay is so different then Normal turn based stuff I don’t think I could even call it turn based, the rewards you get from the main story alone is amazing until genshin where you get literally nothing from the main story. Don’t get me started on the characters… they are so well designed and so well voiced like this game 100% is for the sapphics (ofc it’s for everyone but-) so I’d definitely recommend playing it at least once!!
I normally despise turn based combat, but Reverse shocked me with how deeply I enjoy it. The cutscenes and character designs are gorgeous, the controls and layout are easy to get used to, and the rewards are actually substantial. Pulling on banners isn't the main focus of the game, but it's enjoyable (especially when you're grinding for a particular character--Tennant come home😭) when basically every character you get is a good match for your team. Leveling materials aren't impossible to get, and the tutorials don't feel hand-holdy--they tell you the basics, but allow for that independent development of your personal play style. I'm not really into the story, but it seems to be a pretty good one thus far, and I'm excited to see how this game develops further!
Pros: interesting character designs, everyone has accents (if Eng dub), nice artwork. Neutral: Grindy due to lack of content outside of story and grind stages, the main girl Sonetto has a really nasually voice in Eng dub, some characters are boring tropes, the English dub has some known names behind them reading a script that was not proofread so what they’re saying sounds unnaturally wrong and unhinged Cons: Absolute horrible localization/translation!! Mihoyo level shop pricing, lack of high tier male characters (look at a tier list and tell me how many male identifying characters are at S and A tier), pretty much another waifu heavy game, some voices in English get reeeeal annoying since Native English speakers can hear how over the top it is, lack of non-story content, “autosweep” isn’t instant and still require you to manually tap to loop, low rates 1.6%
Everything was going great despite the long dialogues with a very complicated story, (that’s alright, I can overlook those 2 things) but I just came across upgrading Eternity’s insight for the very first time and thought “great now I’ll be able to increase max cap to 40”, but what a surprise it was that instead of the character staying at 30/40cp and having to increase 10cp more to get to 40, the character went back to 1/40 instead, now I have to upgrade her again all the way to 40, and then when I upgrade the insight again I bet it’ll go back to 1/50 again, and so on……..I don’t think it’s worth it given the resources that will be needed to fully upgrade a single character… I doubt I will continue playing but if that reset cp problem gets fixed I might get back on it.
Reverse 1999 is honestly a very epic game, with many upsides and really not any downsides at all. The combat at first I thought it would be boring but when I actually played it I was really enjoying it and super invested into it, the amount of strategy that you could use and do with it allow so much potential than just I go you go in. The art style is 10/10 just incredible and so beautiful. The story is super interesting with the Storm and everything playing out just makes me want to know more. This game is super interesting and fun and if you are into these type of games Gacha, Turn Based, Story, Etc then this is the game for you.
I started playing Reverse 1999 on launch, and was very impressed by the artwork, storytelling, and general vibe of the game. The characters all have stunning designs, and the story is grounded and engaging. There are a few translation errors, but few and far between, and they don’t take away from the gameplay. The fighting system is a turn based strategy, but is very easy to pick up and learn, and the characters are fairly easy to level up with regular gameplay. You also get quite a lot of free summons which is always nice. I’d highly recommend this game and its persisted as one of my favorite mobile games since its global launch.
I started playing the game on pc first and created an account using my google login. But trying to log in on the apple iTunes Store mobile, I only have the option to log in through my Apple ID instead and must create a completely new account to play on mobile but I only want the one game account since I’m not always home on my pc. Many other mobile games on the iTunes App Store have the option to still log in through google account. It would be great to add that feature in so I can play the same account on both pc and mobile. Otherwise the English voices could be better? It’s a rough mix where some of the VA is good and fits the character but some do not but that’s an issue in most games anyways.
So I’m someone who doesn’t mind these types of games. I find them rather interesting and it checks all my boxes. If you like: gacha games, anime styled art, anime esque va, wide variety of characters, plot heavy, turn based fighting game, this is for you. I saw some complain there’s no real customization which I personally don’t care about. I am fine being an mc regardless of it’s gender or otherwise looks. I like the combat style, I don’t customize much anyway, and have grown used to gacha. My main complaint is the promised free summons that I’ve only gotten 20/75 free ones promised. Otherwise, I’m happy with it. I think people who are review bombing just bc they dislike it don’t realize the game isn’t for everyone.
Great Story, Great Writing, Great mechanics, Great Art, Great Cast
I’m in love with this game. It’s the first story(gacha wise) where I didn’t just skip through the entire first arc to try out the gameplay. The art for both gameplay and scripted scenes is just beautiful. The artist and voice actors talents are really shown in this game. Whoever hired them should also get a shine. If that wasn’t enough , the card mechanics in the game itself is in a leauge of it’s own. It’s a fun and interesting way to handle the card game genre that makes it very tactical instead of level based. Not to say that you won’t need to level but with a good team you can handle most stronger enemies without leveling at all.
It’s a breath of fresh air getting an amazing story in a gacha game. Most of the time in gacha games, characters are quickly dropped after being released, and event stories are so poorly written that I wish I could skip them The effort put into this game’s story, art, and voice acting is incredible. By far, the best voice acting I’ve seen in gacha games so far. Even the event stories are engaging and keep me playing. The combat is also fun and there are a lot of end game challenges that are rewarding to conquer. Please give this game a chance! It’s so underrated, and I hope they continue for as long as possible!
I'M ACTUALLY HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE?? LIKE FR???
I barely review but oh my goodness. I bet most of the other reviews say most of what I'm thinking now so I'll keep it brief. GIVE THIS GAME A TRY! The art is gorgeous the gameplay is very fun. I'm loving the story so far and I also love how effortless it feels to just.. open the game and do a few things. It's so refreshing, and the characters are all so unique and interesting. Dikke is one of my favorites right now, I love her design and combat. I can't even put into words how much I love this game. I've had the game since launch but only got to really play it this month. Very fun, highly recommend. Give it a go!
Very enjoyable game with good characters to enjoy!
Enjoying the game, has a genshin/star rail currency system which is kinda nice, simple system to get into. The land mechanic is a bit awkward, could be enjoyable for some people. Fights are fun, sometimes I just want to auto battle but it doesn’t exist, instead it records your battle and you can come back and it will do it for you exactly how it was before which is also nice!!! ( no more RANDOM ultimates being used during autos like other games) The story and voice acting is top notch, very enjoyable and exciting. You get to see many characters and the world of Reverse 1999 and how they bring you in the world. Many characters are viable
Hi I’m just an average guy who likes mostly open world action games instead of gacha games, yet this game stole my heart, the story and characters are great, and the amazing amount of representation and art in this game is incredible, and even though typically I normally don’t enjoy turn based gameplay, I’m this game I enjoy it immensely and it’s just in general fantastic, I’m glad I have installed this game and I’m looking towards more excitement of the future patches of the game, and to the creators and reverse 1999 team, you’re all doing great and incredibly amazing and I’m glad you guys put everything you can into this game.
A lot of gacha games do not have as good of a story as this one, the visuals are nice, I am sure it’s AI in chapter 3 during a cut scene the characters hair is missing a chunk. The voice acting as well is what also adds to the immersion. You have a good amount characters selection. There are things that should be added tho - guaranteed 5-6* pity ( only guaranteed when you start then after every 10 it’s only a 4* ) - better ways to farm ( you run out of stamina so quick and characters take a bunch to level up ) - exp stages ( again with how much stamina it takes and resources it’s crazy how u can’t level up ur character by completing the story ) - F2P ways to get items ( a lot of things you see in the mall you will end up having to buy or you have to complete a bunch of levels for ) I do believe as this game gets more popular it probably won’t be as f2p or if they implement an end game, but so far it’s not too bad I give it a C ! I think this game needs to focus more into the simplicities of a gacha then adding a bunch of stuff that takes away from it
The story, voice acting, and art is AMAZING! This feels like an Old School RPG on your phone, just with gameplay adapted for a smartphone! It’s also very rewarding, and doesn’t make you grind nor force you to buy anything to get new/upgrade characters. Usually, these types of games feel like they’re just trying to trap you, but this actually seems like it wants you to enjoy yourself. The universe established in this game is also really well built, and I’m excited where and how they expand the world they’ve built. Join the ride early while you can!
When I first started playing the game it was great the animations and story were amazing and all but after playing for roughly three weeks I quit and here are my main reasons. First thing is that there is a huge lack of content and nothing to do after completing dailies. Second the currency gain in this game is close to nothing after finishing the main story and side story which makes it really hard to get any characters at all and even worse they implemented Genshins 50/50 into the game, I’ve played for three weeks and have not gotten a single character that I wanted. Lastly although I mentioned that the animations were great but that was also a downside since it took forever to finish a fight since all the enemies would have very slow animations that take up your time even with the increased speed.
Honestly I wasn’t expecting much from this game when I first started playing, but after a few months I’m loving it! To see a CN RPG game to do the bare minimum of adding diversity is what made me like the game so much, with their characters designs, accents and cultural backgrounds. I think it’s great to see them try being more exclusive and welcome new players by basing each storyline in different parts of the world, hopefully they add more people of color and focus on the significance that their culture has on the characters! Very much looking forward to new updates!! ^^
