Identity V Reviews

by Leillen

I’ve played this game since april, complete and absolutely addicted to it. let me tell you. unless you’re willing to throw at least $150 into essences, you’re not getting anything good if you’ve drawn the short end of the straw on pull luck. 60 pulls is the pity pull for an A tier skin, no guaranteed S tier skin, but it costs 96 inspirations for one pull, whereas 100 inspirations is equal to about one US dollar, and it’s hard to earn inspirations in game. you can imagine how pricy it gets from there. also, this team does not reward their players for playing. in the past with bugs, players have been PUNISHED and put IN DEBT by this game. rewards were sent out on accident by the team to a random amount of players, including echos. if you’re unfamiliar with how this game works, the echos are what you buy with money to then convert to inspirations. the players who already spent their echos were put in the negatives and unable to play the game until they paid off their debt that was wrongfully given to them. it costs so much just to do anything in this game. the matching system is horrible too. you can be a hound and match with high tier elks in quick match, or a hound and match with high tier hunters. you’re hardly ever given a boost in this game. so if you’re gonna be dedicated to this, don’t expect fair treatment from the developers. you’re just adding to their growing money pool.

This game is fun when you get started, it’s got a great style and story at the beginning. I really do LOVE the design of this game, it is absolutely gorgeous to play with. However, once the multiplayer gameplay begins the game transforms into a gacha cash grab... Not to say that gacha games are bad, but in this game it takes weeks to save up for new survivors and hunters to play as. Basically, you should expect to spend your money if you want to play seriously. As for the camping complaints, I disagree. If the hunters were made to be weak the game wouldn’t be fun, and some of you are just complaining because you made ONE mistake. Get over it. Also, this is a minor complaint but if you want to play as a survivor you have to talk to people. You don’t have to do this, but it helps to play the game when you have a team of people that know how each character works.. and for me I was kind of scared to reach out. So, just a minor thing but all in all you can play survivor solo.
Overall 3/5, great design but wayyy over priced. I think for the quality of the multiplayer, it’s not worth the money but that’s just my opinion. I don’t think it’s one of the “best” games in IdentityV Store, there are cheaper renditions of it that don’t require spending.. Just download Roblox and play Flee the Facility on Roblox if you want the same gameplay with no spending.
That’s my review
-peace out homies.

I have problem that like the CAMPER I don’t understand why do they always camp the chair and it impossible to get untie out of the balloon because the chair is ALMOST EVERYWHERE I have the idea that when the hunter is near the rocket chair is should stop the timer and if they are far about 3 inches away it should make the timer go on. And how the character cost so expensive and you should make the login path clues for 30 so like we have enough for character and more!

I notice something that the player all over the world doesn’t really have the anime skin or limit skin u should have a event that happen once a year that last for like 3 weeks and where u can earn points from play match anything and u can buy the limit skin or anime skin with the points ( quick match : 40 points ) ( duo hunter : 100 points ) and etc. and I notice about the ping it was really bad for me and when I try running away from the hunter it kept walking and walking back and when I try to stop walking it keep walking in place so please fix this bug 😕

Another thing is about the HUNTER it too overpower! For example about Jack the Ripper his skill is overpower because he can go invisible and could do the fog thing. And u should change the survivor character skill to have 2 abilities like the priests when she open the chest it doesn’t let her change the things so I really think u should make every character have 2 abilities!

So, as I said it is amazing and there’s no doubt about it that it is one of the best games that has come to IOS. Now with that out of the way, here’s a couple of major downsides that aren’t that controversial, but may need to be fixed. The downsides to an amazing game are that characters cost a whole lot more than they are actually worth, and because of that, is the second downside which is pay to win. Now you can win with the default characters, but it’s hard and in order to get a good character you need to save up for it-in some cases can take a week, others maybe a fortnight. But the over reliance on good characters overshadow the good things in the game. Here are a couple ways they could be fixed. Add a couple of game modes for the regular characters as such. Default, Easy, Medium, Hard. Here’s how it could work. The default characters get their place to help save up. The mediocre are the daily free to play and any character with 1 Star. Then as it goes up, you get to go for harder characters and so on. This would help saving up but the actually good characters are, again, a chore to save up for. So make it easier to get characters like 1000 clues -which you should get in about 1-2 days to get- then increase by 1000 every star -as stated before. The game is good but these easy to solve problems can kinda ruin it for around 1/4 of the people that play the game.

The biggest problem with this game is that the number of unlockable characters just by playing the game is extremely limited. You have to spend spend spend if you want more than the daily freebies that are only free for that 24 hour period, or more than the first few original characters. It is extremely frustrating how long it takes to build up in game currency just to unlock one character. You can play all day for a week straight and barely make enough to unlock a second hunter. The survivors you get a lot more of, but you still have to pay to unlock more. Not all of the in game currency is earnable. Some of it you have to purchase. You can’t even run the board and unlock a character by getting far enough; at best, you win these gatcha type things and all they do is unlock different stances or outfits for characters you don’t even have, not the actual character. It’s very misleading because there’s no option to build your own unique character, like it insinuates in the advertisements. I would really like to build my own character from the ground up, looks, skills, etc. and I don’t know why people complain about camping so much. It takes less than one second to free a comrade, and then get away from the hunter. If survivors would coordinate better, they would win more. If you’re not a very skilled player, instead of complaining, “git good,” and maybe I’ll stop kicking your whiny butts.

Hello hello!! I absolutely adore this game and its characters, and I’ve been playing for quite some time now! Its fun, interesting, and very easily addicting.
While I do love this game, there is one issue I have with it. That issue would be the essence system. It always seems impossible to get something good from essences. In my few months of playing, I’ve only gotten a few A costumes and no S costumes from essences. I know that its based on luck, and the more you play the more you can open, but it feels kind of ridiculous. The spawn rates for things seem so awful. All I can get from essences are repeated graffitis and profile pictures, and I’m tired of wasting my money, clues, and inspirations in hopes that I’ll get something nice. To fix this, can I suggest fixing the spawn rates to help people get things they want? Or adding a limit to the amout of one thing someone can get from an essence? For instance, I’ve gotten the same gardener graffiti at least 10 times now. It would make the essence system so much better if you could limit the amount of times I could get it— say, 5 or 6. Having a better essence system would definitely make me more motivated to play matches, or to spend my money on essences to get something that I want. Please take this into consideration! Not only for me, but for other players who rarely get things from essences as well. Thank you!

Really like your game, but I think I have some ideas that will make it better. I like Identity V because you can play on the go!!! I think it’s really good, and creative. My only issues are that you can’t continue the detective story!!! (I’m pretty sure, anyway) Also, can you add jump scares? You could add a setting, where you can turn off jump scares COMPLETELY, because I know some people may not like jump scares. Also, people are always saying very inappropriate things in chat. It would be nice if you could restrict some words. Maybe on some days you could offer discounts on characters, costumes, and stuff like that. You could create limited edition costumes set to themes as well. And maybe on halloween you could offer special discounts. You could add hiding spots for the hunter too. Maybe you could lower the prices on the costumes, characters, and pets. It’s a little much. I know some of these ideas are creative and a little weird, but I think it will make your game even better. If your reading this, thank you and please consider my ideas. I want to make this game the best it can be, and I’m sure you do too. I like your game, don’t get me wrong. I just loved the detective part, and then it stopped. I’m glad you finally added a girl hunter. I had been waiting for one! That was a good idea. I think this game is clever, fun, and a challenge. It’s pretty good!

by Thecursedship

The game itself is absolutely fantastic and I love everything about! But there is one problem I have noticed, there are players around the world on identity V that aren’t able to participate in events such as Persona 5 for example and they aren’t able to achieve the prizes within those event. I had an idea that there can be an event that happens once every year on identity V where all the events that have ever happened are mashed up together in one huge event where it includes all the prizes in them and even include limited items or skins and etc that’s weren’t a part of the event, players can get points and buy certain prizes from the store with clues, echos, or inspirations, exchange inspirations for points, or by playing a match. These point can allow them to get the prizes that they want, but this event will only last for a certain amount of days, but on the last few days before the event ends players will get a multiplier and can get more points to give them a chance to get the prizes they want, they will also be able to earn a lot of points by paying an offering of some sort in the event that’ll cost them either echoes, inspirations, or clues. I just want people like myself to have a chance to get some prizes from the past events that we haven’t participated because of not being aware of this game yet. I hope this is a good idea or at least something that can be an inspiration for an event to do something like this

This game is so good it’s making me write a review which I never do. The replay value is high. I find myself playing this game multiple times a day and I haven’t gotten bored yet. Yes it is a Dead By Daylight mobile version but no it’s not a ripoff. Two of the top devs from DBD are working with Netease Studio to make this game so it’s pretty much the real deal. The customizations and collectibles are tasteful and pretty easy to attain. Not a money grab at all. The theme of the game and the music kind of give it a Coraline fell which I absolutely love and there are plenty of players so matchmaking is pretty quick. The survivors and hunters each have useful and well-balanced abilities and passives so each character is playable and none are OP. Only one issue exists: hunters who camp near survivors they have managed to place on a chair. It’s annoying but personally I’m quick enough to still get to them and get out of there without taking damage, but other players easily get knocked trying to save them or the player on a chair is eliminated because no one can get anywhere near them. But again, that is the only issue. Overall it’s an amazing game and I can’t wait to see what future updates add to the mix. Highly recommend to anyone who loves competitive multiplayer games.

Hi, I love this game, I play Dead By Daylight all the time on Xbox one, although this game is identical at its roots you released this game as a much darker and morbid offering....the one you should have kept!

I gave it a 5 star rating because it’s DBD mobile, and the hunters (killers) are awesome....however I wish so badly you would bring back the way it originally was, because tying survivors to a rocket chair and bopping them over the head with nerf toys kills its horror vibe, I don’t feel like you need these changes to cater to very young children for a few reasons....#1: kids probably play the real DBD...I’ve ran into a few playing DBD....#2: the chat is filled with toxic adults and teens anyway, which is allot more harmful for children to see imho....#3: all the new hunters weapons are real bladed weapons and have gone out of the realm of nerf toys (please don’t change that btw).....honestly the original was like the perfect balance that both kids and adults would enjoy and wasn’t overly brutal by any means...if this pool party bop-em vibe is so important then I suggest maybe having it a setting that can be turned on and off for kids...like a gore setting ya know?... and chat can be kids chat in that setting as well, then you separated the crude language of the adults from the kids then too...everybody wins

First off, the game is pretty fun! You don't have to pay to win, but if you're not willing to throw cash at the game, then you'll have to grind quite often (which is something that I, personally, do not mind). Characters can be bought with echoes (currency you purchase with real money) or clues (currency rewarded in-game)! Skins can sometimes be bought from the shop with fragments or echoes, but many skins are obtainable through Essences, which are part of the gacha side of Identity V. They have a few free characters every day and switch them up, and there are often events that come and go.

Now, here's for the little problem I have that has occurred since the recent New Year update. I've tried to enter the game through my phone but it will not take me past the Netease screen, and instead, boot me out of the game. It functions as normal on my iPad and on the PC, so this is a problem only for my phone. I've checked on my phone's storage, and it should be enough to run the game. Just in case, I have deleted many apps and other little tidbits to fill up space, and it still won't load up for me. I've uninstalled it two times by now, but I still cannot enter the game. Besides this recent problem, I really enjoy the game!! I can't wait for potential Kurt content in the future!!

Ok hmmmmmmm camping hunters... you clearly have never played hunter. Just because a killer gets three kills and you survive because no one saves any one in this game is not really fair. You can’t just say every game has a camper even when you’re exaggerating. 1 because it’s toxic (even if you aren’t trying to be) and 2 it’s just down right in true. Want to know what the real problem is in this game it’s the same as dead by daylight toxicity I’ve never met a more toxic community (with the exception of overwatch and dead by daylight) I ding survivors who instead of making progress just camp pallets. I have survivors who don’t know how to flashlight flashlight if me. This game is full of wanna be dead by daylight survivors accusing the killer of camping because you still see their terror shock. And full of killers who have to deal with and 1 camp 2 quit 3 have to adapt to this community which is 100% survivor started unless your good at killer enough to the point where you know each ones power and how to use it (took me over 100 hours of play). Other than that 5 stars it’s an amazing game that I generally have fun playing. P.s survivors need a better reward for saving randos cause in my experience that never do and when I play survivor I’m the only one going for the save and they never save me back.

Well guys, Idv was fun while it lasted..
Half a year ago at this point (never got the correct help), I had lost my phone, and was never able to find it (to this day) so I got myself a new phone. That’s when the problem happened. My old phone didn’t have a phone number or anything and because of that, I can’t move my old iCloud account into my new phone because it requires me to still have my old phone, which I do not. Now since i don’t have my old iCloud, I can’t log into my account, as I had linked my account to that iCloud’s Game Center. I tried getting it back via twitter as I had also linked my Twitter account with it but it didn’t work and idv pretended as if that Twitter account was never linked to my account. I’ll try giving proof that it’s my account

So basically, I’ve lost everything involving Idv, and lots of money has been wasted, which has obviously plummeted my interest in Idv. I had joined the game during the summer event before the first persona 5 crossover happened. I’ve fallen in love with the game and it’s characters throughout that time and just being forced back to square one doesn’t really sit well with me...
Please, PLEASE, if you have any clue to how to get my account back, I’d love to talk.

I’ve noticed that this game has quite a few problems. For starters I just want to say this game is aesthetically pleasing! However I would hope that the way the game looks wouldn’t interfere with gameplay in the sense of lag. I’ve noticed a couple things but for the most part it’s amazing. Secondly, this game promotes negative play because this game has no punishment for it in game. If a killer is close to a chair the chair timer should slow down/stop completely. One last thing I have is the red light. I feel like it’s so bugged that I have myself wasting pallets on killers who aren’t even near me. So 2/3 of my issues are technical (which means it’s probably my phone) but not to leave on a negative note here’s some great things about this game! It’s very fun and spooky! I think all the characters are super wacky and lighthearted which makes survivors want to get spotted less. And I’m surprised that all of the game mechanics work for a little device! All in all, I think this is a great game but I hope you’ll at least read this to maybe give a couple things a though. Have a great day!

P.S. I also think this game should give some love to hunters and make cipher failed skill checks be a lot more noticeable as well as a fully complete cipher. Thanks!

It’s so incredibly unbalanced, I usually play hunter and I try so hard but in the end I lose because survivors have the advantage much of the time with so many skills. One survivor can literally jump throw obstacles and constantly gain speed while the hunter is severely slowed most of the time. In terms of how even the map has so many obstacles, just one person needs to have the hunter run in circles or they teleport through walls. The system of 1v4 is extremely faulty because of the advantages and items survivors have. This will inevitably end the life of this game because it’s already unfair for one person going against four. Hunters are rarely found these days on rank because of the rigged system. Don’t even play this game if you don’t like losing because there’s a whole lot of it when you play rank as well as with quick play. I’m publishing an article about mobile games and this definitely will go as low rank as the other games that are unfair. This game has the worst balancing issues in the end. Don’t get this game if you don’t plan on losing a lot against a team of 4. I’m going to delete IdentityV since it has not gotten any better and as a gamer I’m tired of losing. Worse balancing ever. Hopefully they will also fix the connection for their servers.

The game is absolutely AMAZINGGGG!! I play this game 24/7. The gameplay is nice, the characters are nice, and sometimes the hunters. Although this game may be good and all, I must say i’ve experienced some problems throughout the game. So the hunters camp A LOT. You seriously can’t even get a chance to save the survivor that’s in the rocket chair! I’m not gonna lie, I used to camp the rocket chairs too but you need to have the mindset of what it’s like to be in other peoples shoes. I know your goal is to win but it’s also the survivors goal to win too! It’s quite selfish to just stand there, starring at the survivor in the rocket chair DYING instead of moving on. I’ve also experienced some bugs. After about 3-4 matches I play, the game slows down and lags like crazy! I’ve also heard that it lags for other people too so if the developers could fix that that would be nice :) My last problem with the game is MONEY and the character PRICES. Echos are very very very expensive and so are the characters that you can buy with the purple diamond thingy, echos, or clues. I’ve spent so much money on this game it’s unbelievable. So if the developers could also lower down the price tags *CHA CHING* that would be amazing. All in all, this game is super fun and can be very addicting!!! I highly recommend it.

I absolutely love this game so there is no way I could give it a rating lower than 5 stars, but there are some things that could be improved. First off, I think getting rid of the weekly limit of points you can earn would be great. I managed to fill mine up in 3 days so now I will not be able to earn points until the week is over. Also, the hunters have too big of an advantage over the survivors. Not only are they faster than the survivors but they are also stronger and almost impossible to get away from when they are chasing you. I think the speed of the hunters needs to be slightly decreased to make it possible to get away from them. There needs to also be a way to avoid camping from the hunters. Whether it stuns the hunter when they are near a rocket chair too long or it sets the person in the chair free doesn’t matter to me, all I know is that it is practically impossible to successfully save someone from the chair while the hunter is camping there and get away unless you have a weapon. As for being the last survivor, I think your speed should increase significantly when you are the lone survivor, especially because you have to run across the map to try and find the escape door without the hunter reaching you. Anyways, I really enjoy this game and I hope some changes are made to it! Thanks! 💕

by Lilith Rosey

Alright first things first I love the game it’s amazing in every way and I love everyone of the characters but there are some I’m in love with my favorite female character as survivor is the Princess and Doctor my favorite female hunters are the dream witch and the geisha my favorite male characters are the seer ,embalmer ,Prisoner ,the ripper ,and the photographer I love all of these characters but since we are on them every time I see the ripper It remains me of slenderman and I was hoping you could make a costume similar to him I also was wondering if you could make emotions that could interact with another player like a high-five or a hug that would be vary cool and maybe be able to jump I would also love to see some new maps since we have so many characters maybe a few maps to Mach some of them would be cool also maybe make it a little easier to get gems but you guys don’t have to do these things if you don’t think they are good for the game but I would live to see any of these in the game thx you for reading and love your game keep up the good work also one thing I hate when hunters camp so I was thinking what if we have to do 9 or 10 Machines so when the hunter puts us in a chair they will teleport somewhere else but it only happens the first time the second they will be pushed away from the chair

by Chazarino

This game is fun. Very much akin to Dead by Daylight (DbD) and can suffer the same ‘issues’ it has. But I’d like to break down a couple of those issues because this is a game worth your time

Number one; Camping. Nowadays it frustrating if you get camped? Absolutely. Game breaking and fun ruining? Absolutely not. While the killer is wasting precious time just watching someone, you can be doing a world of beneficial things for your team. The killer is giving up on the chase just to watch one person. Don’t sit there and watch him watch someone. It’s pointless! Accept the lone survivors fate and continue on.

Number Two; Balancing. I know every game ever has this complaint and sometimes a killer is just broken. But a whole lot of the time it comes down to skill and it comes down to familiarity with that killer. If it’s you third game against them, prepare to struggle a bit. Especially if they know how to use him. But don’t immediately say it’s the killer who is broken and not your own skill. I’ll reference DbD for those who understand it. People were up in arms about how strong Legion was when he came out. Too quick, too much pressure, too mobile. But those were the low skilled players unable or unwilling to improve. No one has an issue with that killer anymore. Don’t let the lower brackets deter you from an otherwise amazing game.

by MedicGeorge

There are so many things to say about this game, I’m not going to say any compliments because the game is one of the best that has come to mobile, now on with the problems everyone has playing this game!

First of all, the campers, now this is exactly what it sounds like, the hunter knocks out someone, puts them on a rocket chair and just waits and watches as they slowly get ready to die, preventing other survivors from freeing their fellow comrade! This is a major problem that not only takes the strategic gameplay out of it, but it also makes the survivors want to break something, it makes everyone mad and takes the fun out of the entire game itself!
So people are not going to stop camping unless something is done about it, now don’t get me wrong, many of the hunters don’t even need to camp because of how powerful they are, take The Feaster for example, with all those tentacles spawning in, its impossible to get by...but that’s the first of many problems...the newest hunters are way too overpowered and because of this, players just waste this power on camping, so fix this issue where the campers have something happen or ban camping or just do anything to resolve this!...can you also kind of nerf the Geisha a bit, even though she enters panic mode when someone looks at her, she’s still very very fast, I think she’s faster than the ripper when he’s invisible!

by ZenWorld33

Ok, so I got this game a few days ago, and I’m already in love with it! 😍😍😍 But there’s one problem that bothers me so much it makes me want to snap my phone in half, and that’s camping. Ok, ok, I get it, a lot of people have been complaining about this, but it’s just so annoying! I mean, yeah, sure, the hunter really wants to get a flawless win, but so do the survivors! Maybe if you added a feature where after a certain amount of time (like, maybe 20 seconds) the hunter automatically starts moving away from the rocket chair and towards the nearest survivor. Then that gives the survivors a chance to make their escape and make the game more fair to everyone. And this is really weird, but whenever I’m a hunter and a survivor rescues another survivor, I hate it when they run away together because I want them to make their getaway. I don’t know why I don’t like that but, whatevs. My only suggestion is that you give the survivors an option to struggle out of a rocket chair. Like, think of it this way (I’m going to do thought dialogue).
‘Oh shoot. Geisha tied me up!’ They can rip and/or bite the rope and that could decrease the amount of time they have before elimination. Then another survivor can just undo the clasps on their wrists.

Sorry it was so long! This was just me pouring my thoughts onto this digital paper. If the developers are reading this (if so, hi!), please take my suggestions and think about them. Ok bye!!

by BEAR🤪

When your a survivor like everybody who plays camps the rocket chair so your can’t grab the person I get it’s not supposed to be easy but if your doing anything other than running BOOM terror shocked -.- I’m guessing many people get annoyed when the hunter camps the rocket chair i as a beast at least walk away and don’t stand right in front of the rocket chair so they have a chance. But everybody else except a minor few camp the rocket chair. I guess some people are over competitive. It’s taking the whole fun part out of the game.
After the whole camping thing it’s takes a while to get a character especially skins I want a skin for the doctor but it’s like 3000 of the purple shard things it’s a skin why is it so expensive??!!! If you want to get far quickly you really need to spend money you can’t even get the echos without spending money. Also I feel like it would be cool to be able to make your own caractor to be able to edit one but that’s not really a problem I have with the game I would just be cool🥴.
Also some hunter are reaallly Over powered compared to any survivors I’ll use the priestess for example she can summon portals that if the hunter walks through they can be stunned. While one of the hunters can summon tentacles that hit you. There kinda equal there but when u have a theif compared to tentacle guy he’s op and the thief is free preistess cost like 4000 memories that take a bit to get.

I enjoy playing this game a lot but there’s a lot of work that needs to be done especially with hunters. As everyone is saying, there has to be something done with campers. There should a penalty for hunters that are camping around a rocket chair for a certain period of time. I’ve played hunter myself and won without having to camp at all since the hunters are already too over-powered. Which is another issue, hunters in this game are too favored because they have a lot of perks and powers which makes them easier to use and win. With all their powers, it’s nearly impossible to get away from the hunters especially with their speed. And there’s also times where they can basically go through walls which defeats the point of getting chased. Something also has to be done with their hit box which makes the whole game unfair. No matter how far or if you’re in the other side of a wall/pallet, you can still get hit and knocked down. I think the way to make the game more fair is to make the hunter a first person point of view or turn their powers down a notch. Improving the survivors skills will also help as well. I enjoy playing survivors a lot so I would love if you guys would be able to do something about making the game more fair for survivors.
