BLADE XLORD

I felt the need to give an honest review of this game for those on the fence. I rerolled for 4 days to get the unit I wanted to start with and played for 5 days until I hit the wall. I have to be honest...the stall could have been remedied had I continued to keep my phone on auto play all day and night. Yes, I had this game running for 3 days (non-stop) and STILL could not max out a single unit or SSR weapon. The stones for summoning are far and few after chapter 9 due to power creep. Also, following the first 2 pulls of each banner (f2p) I received no SSR unit or weapon. This wouldn’t be so bad if the power gain from SSR weapons and accessories wasn’t so significant. Speaking of...accessories require materials only obtainable through certain stages and most give you 1 of each per play (auto loop). There are 12 recipes after chapter 9 and each one requires different mats. Pick and choose what you need for each unit and auto loop for 2 hours in hopes that you get an SSR from crafting which is also RNG and based on unit adept in crafting certain gear (expert, specialty, normal, etc.). The game is beautifully rendered and fun to watch at times. It is just not feasible to limit my phone usage to 1 app. because unless you want to spend money that is what you will HAVE to do. I couldn’t justify the time and battery usage so I uninstalled. I hope you make the right decision based on this review so you don’t feel like your time was wasted like I did.

Generic story and character designs. It might take a while to actually get into the game, but rerolling is very easy to do. The gameplay is OK, but mostly consists of letting the Auto function do everything for you when you have to grind materials. There really should be a Auto-Grind or Skip function that just randomly generates the rewards instead of wasting your device’s battery and watching the game play for you. The worst thing is how buggy and clunky this game is. Some text is not translated, and I’m getting some weird stamina bug after having advanced a bit through the story that reduces my stamina to zero when I select a stage that should only consume a little bit... so I can’t even play more than one stage in a sitting. AND I’m doing one stage of a Trial event and the sound in the game just suddenly stops and the game is dead silent. This is ridiculous, and it’s not even easy to submit a bug report without it having to be directly sent through email. Why not just make a web form that sends directly to support as other games do? The game would be a lot better if it was polished and optimized more, particularly QA testing and getting rid of bugs. The game itself may not be everyone’s cup of tea, and I actually started getting a bit invested in progressing... but the stamina bug I mentioned above is actually game breaking for me. Really disappointed, but not like I had high expectations anyway.

Very nice visuals. Good Storyline. The world reminds me of the FFBE, but this game is better as it isn’t so overwhelming in characters and game content that you get lost in what you’re doing. The English translation for the dialogue is spot on as well which is a huge plus. The only thing they could add is English voice acting, and have noticed a few Japanese buttons instead of English. Though it’s costs nothing to make a guild which has caused a problem of too many guilds and not enough to fill them. (It should cost like 2k Lord gems so it’s not so easy to create a guild) Besides that. Well done Oh if you need a guild.... Look for Wolverines

The game has issues where it crashes and closes out to the home screen, even when I play it on a lower resolution. I play on my iPad, and at times it even heats up while I’m playing. If somehow this problem could be fixed, I would have absolutely no gripes about this game (so far) It’s hard to play and enjoy the game/ story if the thing keeps crashing. If in a future patch, you could find a way to fix this, that would be greatly appreciated. Loving the game so far, can’t wait to enjoy this game some more!!

Yes, literally every single cut scene takes 3 minutes to load which is unfortunate since this game has SO MANY cut scenes in each quest, you would have to wait at least 5 minutes before you can actually play and battle (if not, then even more than 5 minutes while skipping the scenes because you still have to wait for the cut scenes to load before you can skip it. ) and you cannot blame it on my connection because nothing is wrong with my connection, I’ve downloaded the game data as well which means it’s the game itself that has a problem. Please fix this issue because it really did seem like a decent game to check out. Thank you :)
