Surprised the rating is so high. – TALES OF CRESTORIA Review

Tales of Crestoria could be a great game. The tales series has been one of my favorite if not favorite JRPGs. This particular mobile game has its ups and downs, but sadly more downs. Let’s start with the positives. It’s a tales game that brings together characters from all tales series, allowing players to use and/or aim for their favorite character(s) in the series. The SSR rates aren’t unreasonable (~5%) and at least right now, there isn’t an obvious power creep. The content for the most part is doable as long as you’re willing to grind, like most mobile games. The game so far has been good with gleams (Ingame currency) and hopefully that doesn’t change. Now, for the negatives... since the day this game came out, it has been littered with bugs - chat issues, app issues, etc. The chat issue consistently will show up saying you’ve been disconnected from the chat interrupting what could be a pleasant gameplay. It will show up in raids, guild chat, etc. Then, the most notorious issue is the app crashing just about every other raid and/or arena battle. This by far makes the game extremely disappointing and discouraging as it gets tiring when the app crashes every few minutes. While these bugs exist, the game continues to roll out new character banners like candy. This begs the question of this game’s priorities. Are they going to ever fix the bugs or just simply milk the players until they decide to shut it down? These are probably some of the reasons why the company has earned the name “Scamco” sadly. I can only give this game a 2 star rating and it’s an extremely soft 2 stars, which is due to my love for the Tales series. Otherwise, it basically is a 1 or 0 star given that it’s a buggy incomplete product that has been rolled out rather than taking the time to make sure it works properly with less bugs or ones that don’t significantly interfere with gameplay.
