Evertale Reviews

by Kill The Floor

This game is absolutely nothing like the preview. I downloaded it against my better judgement because I thought it was a horror themed version of the Pokémon red and blue. But of course, it is only marketed that way. In reality it’s nothing like that. I don’t understand why game developer companies feel it’s necessary to do that. Like, they aren’t exactly winning people over by outright lying to them. Also it’s not like they can conceal the fact it’s nothing like the previews. Once you down load it and attempt to play it for 5 seconds you will see it’s more like a super generic, janky knocked off version of I guess final fantasy minus the final fantasy aspect. Like the way it’s marketed, you have these little balls you go around and capture more violent, monsters. You then go about training them, and they evolve along the way. But in this version, the little monsters can actually attack and harm the human characters. It also had a more dark and menacing feeling to it, that to be honest isn’t there in the game play. This game just solidified the fact that I don’t even bother with cell phone games unless they are arcade based. Like the sonic the headchoh

Do not be fooled, this is a summon/gacha game just like any other accept they make you pay for this one lol, they dress it up to look like a regular Pokémon/final fantasy game but with all the predatory practices of other pay to play/win games. I’ve began to wonder how many people this company paid for these bull crap reviews lol. This game is not nearly the godsend of phone games that some of these reviews are suggesting. For one this game isn’t even balanced, don’t expect to get far without amazing pulls or grinding your life away. For comparison this game is a bigger grind then most final fantasy grinds. The drop rates are horrible, for the few months I’ve had this downloaded I’ve never got a 5*. The main character is a non customizable Mary Sue type and the story is about as cliche’d as it gets.. insert ancient evil, now a teenager with inexplicable godlike powers conveniently appears, blah blah blah. All in all this game was a huge waste even if it was only $1

Update: forgot I already tried this game and sure enough everything a said back then still rings true today, except now they’ve taken to over sexualizing every single female character (even the ‘underage’ ones). This game, it’s developers, and it’s player base absolutely disgust me..

I got this game and plowed through the main Offline story in a week. It's an enjoyable, pokemon-esque feel. Then, reality sets in... the developers hate new players and want to bleed you dry. First off all...SSR character draw rates are abysmal. At best, on banners for specific characters, you have .07% chance of summoning. You are, however, guaranteed for 1 in 500 summons, minimum. The only SSR guaranteed summons are for paid stones, which costs $24. Not worth it. New players struggle to hit 1 million power in a single battalion, so forget about raids or towers getting you good rewards, and with such limited mana, I find myself grinding low levels for limited time events. I wish there was a way to get guaranteed SSR characters: even just the crestbearer versions of Finn and Rizette maybe. Many other gachas give you a chance to get free 5 star or SSR characters that are surprisingly good without the need to rely on summons (and their SSR summoning banners have better odds). I'm talking about games like Another Eden. This game is fun, but it's been out for years. A F2P player like me would take years to get any decent fighters worth having since I can't advance in Arena, can't climb much higher than floor 40 in tower, can't complete EX dungeons for limited events, and can't participate in raids. This is a paid app... or it was when I got it. I wish they would stop trying to bleed me dry

I have to take this game which I was really enjoying from a 5 star to a 1 star the reason for this is the summon system which does not separate weapons and character/creatures the problem is you save up to do the ten draw to get guaranteed SR or SSR ranking card and it is always equipment as the high end card which is nowhere near as important as the character/creatures (weapons add one potential ability while character/creatures have 4 active and multiple passive as well as potential leader skills) really crappy feeling when you have saved for 5-10 of these pulls and never seen a character above the R rank as all the SR and SSR cards that have been seen are weapons every time afraid I will have to go away from this game until the system is fixed and they reimburse all current players that have dealt with this issue with a free SR or SSR character/creature can be a pool they choose from but it’s just a really crappy feeling never getting any really good characters and having used so many of the story gems you can never get back please fix!!!!!! Also because of how low your chances are for a character I have never even seen an SR let alone an SSR do not spend a dime on this game you will be wasting your money!!!!!!!!!

by Fhqwgads22

This game started out enjoyable enough that I kind of forgot how shamelessly false the advertising was. I put a lot of time into the offline story and the early stages of the “real” game but by act 4 the cracks were starting to show. As other reviewers mentioned, summon rates aren’t great, but I never had enough of an issue with getting stones to feel like I was meaningfully more likely to get anything good by putting money in. The real issues are the mana system and the extreme amount of resources you need to progress characters past level 60. If the RNG in the tower of trials isn’t being generous, you’ll be blowing a full days mana in the space of 15 minutes, usually on battles you can barely win because the resources for leveling were already scarce before you had to manage mana and now they’re even rarer. The intent here is obvious - throttle the progress of players until they feel the need to buy the relevant resources. It might even work, if the prices they were asking weren’t so ridiculous.

Tl;dr slimy advertising for a relatively fun game early game that gets killed by an even slimier system of micro transaction-reliant progression. No matter how much you might enjoy the early game, don’t encourage this behavior by funding it.

by MrMildSauce

TL;DR Literally required to spend thousands to have any presence online, which is 90% of the game.
I’m currently rank 97, but I could never recommend this game. The offline story itself is actually fun, which is why all of the bad about the real game is such a smack in the face. The offline story is pretty short, so the online gameplay is all this game truly has to offer. I don’t even have to get into any of what the online game has to offer to explain the absolute disease that this game is. It all boils down to the summon system. The chance for a SSR unit is astronomically small; Below 0.05% actually. To give an example of what this means, is that I have summoned 110 units, without a single SSR, and only 7 SR units. And on top of this, the price of in game currency is basically an actual scam. It’s 100 gems per summon, or 1000 for 10, so there’s not even a discount for multi summon. And for 4000 gems, it costs $80. And the tip of the iceberg, is that SSR units are insanely op. A level 100 SR unit, fully awakened, is no match for a base, level 60 SSR unit. The only way to be able to participate in the actual game, is to spend thousands of dollars to compete with the whales that play this game. This game really shouldn’t even be allowed on the Apple store, stay clear of it like the plague.

I originally started playing shortly after the game came out before there were even any ads going around for the game at the time I thought it was an alright but not great game for the price. Then I stopped playing for a while and suddenly started seeing all these fake footage ads false advertising the game and at first I ignored them however I eventually decided to check to see if maybe they had changed some things in the game and loaded it up only to find that not only was the game the same and the ads false but my favorite character Mysha had been completely rewritten and turned into a basic generic anime fox girl losing everything that made her interesting in an attempt to make more people want to spend money for the character. I used to tell people that the game was worth getting however between the crappy false ads and the unnecessary poor character and story rewrites and design changes I can no longer justify calling this game anything but cheap crap not worth spending a cent on if you want to play a gatch game you can get several better ones for free.

by Fisherloltaken

I’m rank 86, and have had a lot of fun with the game. Offline story was pretty short but fun. Catching monsters was pretty cool, but something that quickly became pretty trivial and not needed. The online story is when I started to get a lot stronger with my characters. However like most games there was a pretty hard ceiling. I slowly somewhat broke through and got my characters 99 boosted and 5 stars.

Here’s my huge problem. Even with playing for 45 days straight with no breaks in between days. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN A SINGLE SSR CHARACTER. I have gotten over around 10 SSR weapons though. Which according to the drop rates is only a 2% drop chance difference. I’ve done all the events, been there for free summon fodder, even payed for a few summons (which is expensive imo). So I’m sitting here now, while people around my same rank have a boat load of SSR characters and me having none. It is truest frustrating to not get at least one SSR character after having PAID for the base game, and play so much. If I were to rate this game just for how fun the game play is, it’s be 5 stars; however it’s not. The effort put it isn’t paid back in full and isn’t worth my time.

If you value your time and wallet, don’t play this game.

by Hoole312

I have a multitude of complaints.
One, a game that is paid shouldn’t be a pay to win GATCHA game. And it’s laughable the prices for the premium in game currency. To do a 10x draw that has a 1% chance each draw for a single SSR character is, can you guess? If you guessed 24$ then congrats. To even have a single draw that’s at least 4$
Two the only monsters you can catch are always Rare or lower, as far as I know the game doesn’t give you the chance to catch anything valid mid to late game. Other than one SR character at seemingly random at the very beginning. Cause they need you to get them precious premium currencies. Like seriously make the game a flat 5$ or 10$ or something and get rid of the GATCHA system. It’s not fun.
Three, did you fall in love with the campaign characters? Well to bad only the main character and anime girls get SSR variants that your lucky for even the chance to draw, other then that one frog that no one I know of cares for. Ga’Laga, Theo, and Mysha get no love from the devs. Which is unfortunate given Ga’Laga looks awesome and Mysha has an interesting story.
Four is referring back to catching monsters. The rare ones you can catch? They are one time catches, once you get one they won’t appear there ever again. So even though they aren’t even valid for late game they won’t let you upgrade them to a somewhat usable degree.

by AnimeForLife;)

Really really good game with amazing art and cool gameplay!! But… No pity. Yes. In a Gashapon, there is no pity. Probably set up to make more money but actually all it’s done is imbalance the game to a point where there is a class system based on how much money you’ve spent on the game (ex. no one that’s hasn’t spent money on their account can get into the top 100 in the arena). It makes those aspects of the game virtually unplayable if you want to rise above a certain margin. Whatever value system this game’s randomization runs on is really inconsistent, it’s poor quality that you wouldn’t expect from a game of this caliber. Annoying paywalls, and paywalls-a-plenty, but not impossible to ignore. Horrible ads. They make me ashamed to have this game. "Hey you should play this game! It’s really fun!" "You mean that weird Pokémon-knockoff prn game with the -exualized children?" "Heh. Nope. That’s- not.. what I was talking about. He. Got confused! I meant Genshin Impact!! Heh. Silly me." I’m sure I’ll be thinking of more, those are just the most bothersome. It hurts that you put time and energy into something and that something sees you as nothing (that is unless you give them money).

I discovered this game through ads. And it was the usual, ads are nothing like the actual game. The ads portrayed a completely different game. The multiple ads I saw showed an open world exploration rpg with horror and mystery elements. This is not true. The game is, yes, a mostly open world rpg when npcs aren’t blocking your way. Horror is nowhere to be found. I’m mostly through the offline story and most of it was a stereotypical op main character and fighting the bad guys with an all-to generic plot. I say almost through the story because I’ve reached a point where I can’t get any further- all my characters are too weak. But the rate of getting an SSR character is absolutely horrendous, as the other reviews have said. It’s a very pay to win kind of gatcha, so I’m entirely screwed. I’ve hit a dead end playing a game I’d hoped would turn into what I was anticipating. What’s more, I was completely unaware fighting was part of the game until coming to Evertale Store. But this is where the game shines. It’s a challenging battle and strategy set up. I don’t tend to like battling games like this but I did enjoy it enough to play until I reached my dead end. The game is also beautiful. It’s semi pixelated but still rather pretty. I’m very disheartened as I was excited to play this imaginary game the ads showed off. But the game proves to be entertaining enough to a point.

by Tulahlk

If you came here from the ads that showed an 8-bit thriller rpg, that is not this game. Even the pictures shown here in Evertale store have been edited to make the game look darker. I got this game because I thought the story and gameplay would be unique, but the former is very simple, and the latter is fun, but the game is so PTW that it becomes hardly worth it to even try harder battles. It IS an open world game, but only until you finish the main story. After that, it’s path-locked and restricted by mana, which makes the gameplay from there on out very slow—and it’s not finished, which isn’t bad, but it becomes very hard to stay engaged while waiting for other chapters. Also, the banner art (and some of the character designs) are so borderline nsfw that it feels like overkill. It almost makes you want to stop playing the game completely because of how tiring it gets, and definitely does not prompt you to spend any money, which is something I wouldn’t recommend. Overall, it’s good to click around on for a few minutes each day, but hardly ever more than that.

I really actually dislike writing reviews but this one has earned it. Definitely one of the best Games I have played in a VERY long time, especially on a IOS platform. The graphics are great, and there are tons of different monsters and characters. I was hesitant because I don’t like to have to pay to win these games, but I beat the entire offline story without even buying anything at all. The offline story, however, took maybe 4 hours. After that the online story isn’t bad, but you started needing higher ranked characters and summoning is eventually very difficult without spending money. Even if you spend money(which you shouldn’t have to because you bought the game) the probability of you getting a good character is extremely low and you will probably get a high class weapon because they don’t differentiate between the two when summoning and weapons are more common. While this is frustrating, it still has some good qualities. The storyline is fun, and as stated the before the graphics and artwork are great. With those positives I’m willing to give three stars. I do recommend either lowering the prices of IAP’s drastically, or better yet just raising the price of the download and taking IAP’s out completely.

by Nessoverlord2

TL:DR at bottom. This is a fun game. The combat is interesting and has several different combinations you can pull. The visual art is fine, combat art is retro, which I like, the alliance system is fun and the storyline is especially fun and unique. This makes it better then most games like this, however, it falls a bit flat when it comes to how it plays out. The energy your given constricts the gameplay in a MASSIVE way. After the first act of this games offline storyline, it suddenly turns to an online storyline. You have to spend a lot of energy to play the story line, the same energy you need for special events that give you a lot of good stuff the more you play. This is the big downfall. I can’t play the storyline anymore because I’m using all of my energy to play the special quest. And the special quest use a lot of energy. At the earliest of the events you can play them 6 times before your out of energy. Then it takes 15 hours to refill. If not for this, 5 stars all the way. It just really took me out of the game.
TL:DR- the game has a energy bar. Energy bar does not get you very far. If they did not use energy for the main quest it would make the game flow better.

by IsThereAProblamoMon

The game it self is super fun and great and all that, and I understand its a gatcha game as well. But for the love of all that is holy, the SSR characters, especially the ones that are a limited time summon, are literally so rare indeed that they might as well not even display them because that’s the only time I even see those characters. The weapons though, I’ll get the same SSR weapon pretty much 4-5x in a row and never see a SSR character or let alone the displayed one for the summon. However if you have an endless wallet or just don’t care for spending then by all means pay the roughly 40 bucks for 1, 10x summon. Also you can beat the game without having to do a lot of summons so I do at least recommend playing it at the very least. I just wish the drop rates for SSR characters (especially the displayed ones) were way more reasonable, so I don’t have to drop a fat stack of cash just to get the same SSR Weapon or nothing and essentially wasting time and cash. (I’m aware that, that is my own doing, just feels crappy afterwards)

P.s. sorry if this is slightly unreadable, wrote in the heat of the moment.

PROS The Gameplay: It’s fun! The storyline is nice, and it’s not hard to grasp how it works. The Community: Somehow, the players are nice. I haven’t met bad people, most are supportive. CONS The Ads: They lie. This game is more of a Pokémon-esque game, not a horror-infused RPG. I believe another game by ZigZaGames, Neo Monsters, fits more along those lines. The Artwork: This game is 12+ for a reason. The SSR (the best characters in the game) female characters are overly sexualized. Most of them don’t have a reason, although I give a pass to a few, like the “Degenerate Oni Queen” and the brides. How It Works: It’s pay to win. It’s very hard to get by without spending money. Some banners are only available through purchased Soul Stones (what you use to obtain characters). It is possible if you are patient, but I know that I am not. The Gameplay: Tedious. It’s very repetitive, although the animations are good. The Luck: Needs fixing. SSRs have a 0.7% chance of a pull, and Soul Stones are next to impossible to get. Please fix the odds! There is my review! A word of advice, don’t change servers, your account doesn’t span multiple. I hope this helped!

by DeusVault23

We’ll first off the game is out right fun if you enjoy the old Pokémon feel along with other rpgs but the problem I have with the game is pretty obvious which is the summoning and the low chance of SSR characters also the ads and pics for a preview of the game I really thought this was gonna be somewhat creepy with lore of monsters and characters but all I’ve encountered was a kiddish game with no blood or gore whatsoever which don’t get me wrong would be kinda weird for an rpg but I really wanted to see different for rpgs still gonna play the game though I still enjoy it but if any devs read this could you possibly make a few side quests that follow some of the ads like the one where the lady became a monster after being obsessed with them or the one with the camp site if at all possible please update the game and add a dark and twisted tone to the game it would up my experience playing this game and make me want to play more of this with out it this game ends up being one of those games where I can set it aside for awhile and come back ever is often

by Mrmrsms

I really liked the concept of this game. I downloaded it because I thought it would be similar to Pokémon with capturing monsters with the cool twist of fighting alongside your monsters. The story mode was really fun to play through and I really enjoyed playing for a couple hours at a time, but after I completed the offline story mode was when things slowed down for me. I still enjoy logging in and being able to summon different monsters and power them up, but there really isn’t much else to do, and I think a big reason is the mana/energy system. The offline story mode was great because it didn’t require mana to play. After, each stage for the online story mode and the events costs mana. 300 mana isn’t a lot and can be consumed in the matter of 15 minutes and the regeneration of mana is really slow. And the cost of mana for each stage only goes up the higher stage you are in. I really enjoy the game and I want to play for a long time, but the mana system really makes it hard to do that. I understand the need for mana for events, but I don’t think it would be unreasonable to remove mana consumption at least for the story mode so there is at least something to do and a way to grind for basic resources other than just logging in every day. I really hope something is done about this in the future, but other than that, I really liked this game.

by Happy-Chappy

Stop over sexualizing the characters. This game is 12+, children could play this game. It’s not good for them to be seeing all these women with a tiny piece of fabric trying to cover them. The characters are designed as if they are all going to a strippers club. Fantasy worlds are envisioned as knights and princesses. Not girls in bikini tops, or high school uniforms. I also think that you should give the game more of a racial variation, and more covering clothes. We shouldn’t be feeding people’s desires like that. Especially not to children. This game is very fun. Moving from place to place is a bit difficult. It’s hard not to crash into walls. Everything that’s worth buying is payed in a currency called “soul stones” they are hard to get in the beginning. You can’t do much without buying things. You have to spend 500 soul stones to buy the most basic pfps. On the Pros side, the art style is pretty and cute. Again I would advise parents not to let there children play this game. If your older and looking for a game to play in your free time, I recommend playing something not as addicting and time consuming. If your willing to spend your life savings, and all your free time on this game. Have fun 🤣.

by Complaing Guy

I downloaded this game because it looked just like Pokémon and it was exactly like it, capture monsters and all that but the soul stones? You barely get them only daily login which helps but if you want 1000x to summon 10 things for free players since you cant get the SSR Character Guaranteed since you have to pay literally 30 dollars to summon SSR characters which is a rip off. I mean 30 dollars? And as a free player like me it takes longer to summon the free ones. You don’t get much soul stones only like 50 if you complete a certain things and all. Which doesn’t help makes me frustrated to play as a free to play player, because I want better drops (meaning summons) but even though this game is great and all. I’d love for the prices on to pay $30 just for 1000 soul stones to lower. If it were to be $20 that’s fine with me I just don’t wanna waste my money on this game that I’m very addicted to but can’t play without having to buy things that is pretty costly to me. Not sure for others, I don’t care what others may say that “if you can’t pay then why play?” I can’t pay for multiple reasons. One I have a life, two I live alone, three again who would pay $30 each time you wanna get a good summon if your lucky.

by CxsmicCxwbxy

Now that I’ve sunk a lot of hour into this game and have completed all the acts. I love it. The combat system is dope, I like it more than Pokémon. It has nice mechanics and animations. The cost of soul stones are ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. That being said, you can easily obtain soul stones from the story, events, PvP, and daily logins. I think maybe it’s the devs incentivizing playing more than paying? Idk. If they wanted to make more money tho, my friends and I really like this game so we would definitely buy souls stones if they were a reasonable price. THIS GAME NEEDS END GAME MONSTER CATCHING! The characters, the story, the art style, it’s all appealing. I remember starting the story and thinking wow, everything about this game is great. I was saddened to find out how none of the monsters you catch will scale into late game, and you can only catch one of each instead of being able to get multiple and power them up like you can from the draws. Overall, very fun and entertaining game. Love the character design and the combat. The story is really cool, and the art is beautiful. Stay with us Devs!

by Shadow_Dragon

First off, there’s no question that the art design is stunning. Obviously, ZZG went all-in and I thank them for that. The gameplay is easy to understand at first but definitely hard to master. The learning curve is fairly steep, but that’s to be expected with most games these days. The most major issue I have with this app is its gacha game component — soul summons. Let me explain: you have the option to spend 100 soul stones for one summon or 1000 for ten (with one guaranteed SR+ and one guaranteed character). I respect that ZZG makes the drop odds abundantly clear before you purchase, but obviously they aren’t in your favor. The odds of getting an SSR at all are very low, and it just so happens that SSRs make up the meta of this game. It’s pretty hard to survive without them. Not only that, but the lower tier characters can only carry you so far because they’re outclassed. And even beyond that, evolving the SSRs once you get them appears time-consuming. I haven’t beaten the entire story yet, so I can’t say this for certain, but it looks like a huge grind. Other than this, I have no complaints. ZZG did a good job.

by NekoChan333

I adored this game until the first story ended and part 2 the Online story came into play. Unlike the offline story on the online story you can’t free roam, can’t go into bushes to power up your monsters or catch new ones. You can only travel with mana which then takes away mana from the events. I dislike the way the online story works entirely and because of that the game is no longer as fun as it was. I’m not going to spend any more $money on this game until they can make it as fun as it was in the beginning. If the game gets fixed and is just as amazing as it was in the beginning I’ll be way more into dropping some $money for it like I was back then. All in all the art is amazing and like I said the story was beautiful and well put together in the offline story. The free roam was one of my favorite things, you can go from bush to bush just to power up your monsters and have fun catching new ones. It was definitely enjoyable! Loved this game on offline story. Not worth my time on online story.

by Talon K.

TLDR; This game is absolutely phenomenal and you won’t regret picking it up.

Just like any other game, this one has its flaws. Namely being the price of soul stones, however, you gradually accumulate these throughout playing the game and by means of cumulative logins (streaks), which makes up for it in my opinion. The story is intriguing and the characters are enjoyable to follow, a very refreshing change in comparison to other mobile games with annoying characters and crappy “plot”. The art is very endearing and the character art is beautifully drawn. But by far the best thing about this app is its combat and strategy. Simple to pick up but mastering it is an entirely different world. Changing the way you play changes the way the game feels, which leaves you with a lot of different styles and team comps to tinker with and enjoy! I’m very impressed with this game, and the negative reviews concerning game issues sound reasonable, but I’ve personally not run into any problems thus far.

by Kick_ass-granny

When I first saw this game I thought it was going to be like pokemon. And I was SOOO WRONG!! This game is a wonderful adventure full of things you can do outside of the story line, there’s even social platforms with other players if you have questions or need help! The whole thing is quite positive, the summonings may look a little 18+ but there not really. And with that all the available characters you can get if you just stop to interact with bushes or people on the way is amazing!! Half of my team are just awesome people I fought! It doesn’t have any effect on the story line to change out a few “main characters”. Even if the character you have is weak you can get weapons for them and little add one to make them more powerful! Is a blast!! You will find some similarities with Pokémon based on evolution, bushes and a few more.. but that’s what makes this game more fun! You feel a small connection to it that makes your heart warm a little. Even if you play and don’t agree with me, this game is still a fun one and worth the time to download.

by Personus1

The game is well made, the art is amazing, the gameplay is fun, and the story is really good. Honestly I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the game but then I go to read some reviews and there’s a lot of people complaining. Every single one of these bad reviews complain about the gacha system and that it’s pay to win. The game is NOT pay to win. Completing both the offline and online story modes give you tons of soul stones that you can use for 10x summons. Also even after you complete both the story modes there’s almost always an event that lets you earn more soul stones. If there isn’t an event, a week later there’s another one plus the daily reward system that lets you earn lots of soul stones. And after you use all the soul stones you’ll most likely get at least 2 SSR characters. One last thing if you’re going to get the game, PLEASE read the storyline. It’s really good and will make the experience 100x better.
