Bungo Stray Dogs: TotL Reviews

by Patrick Pierce 1

While I did enjoy the game very much when I first got it, it has taken a turn for the worse. I used to spend hours playing it and would actively look forward to doing scouts but after a few days to a week of it, I have started getting worse luck with scouts to the point of using the full 100 scouts before getting one SSR and after getting to a certain point in the story it becomes impossible to play for more than 2 or 3 missions before having to refill with AP drinks or spending ability stones for it. Ultimately I gave up trying to play it because I’d get maybe 5 minutes out of it before having to stop because I didn’t have any ap.

For fans of Bungou Stray Dogs, this game is a fun way to stay engaged with the series as you collect multiple versions of your favorite characters in many different non-canon scenarios, as well as from numerous canonical time points.

However, the sling puzzle mechanism is very shallow and does not offer interesting or challenging gameplay. You see the same dozen or so board configurations over and over again, and the best active skills are nukes or enhancers.

Additionally, the SSR rates of this game are low, though not obscenely so, unlike other games of its genre. While rates are not the lowest, generally between 97% and 99.5% of cards scouted will be useless.

I do not believe the seeding for the randomizer is entirely fair, or as listed, due to an extremely unlikely scouting session. While my SSR rate was reasonable, it seemed suspiciously biased towards repeat cards, which are more or less useless in this game.

Ultimately, this is a passable game for fans of the series, but it is absolutely not worth spending a single cent on.

I originally loved this game, however, it was starting to mess up even when I cleared my cache so I did the usual reinstall trick I do with most of my apps. It lost my information and wanted me to start a new game, it gave me error messages when I tried to log in via my Facebook, so I tried to log in with my ID, I forgot my password and emailed support to get a new one. They asked for information and I sent what I knew of my account and they still refused to help me get back into my account. So now I’m just without and super frustrated. They really need to update to where you can reset your password without being logged in for times like this. It’s upsetting and frustrating because no one wants to start completely over when they have gotten so far in a game.

This game is really great, but it seems like there is always a malfunction error after every feature update. I really enjoy this game because I love to collect a variety of my favorite characters from this really amazing anime. I also love to play the story battles and collect the scene cards, while I am collecting other items that will allow me to level up in a variety of different ways. There is always something new to make the battles a little more interesting or challenging and it becomes even more enjoyable when leveling up the office, characters, and your own personal ranking.

However, it would be nice if the issues or malfunction errors with the game would be resolved soon whenever the next update occurs. I now have two players accounts that I cannot access and have not been able to access after a feature update has occurred. I have tried all of the suggestions within the FAQ and even sent emails. One account stopped working after an update that occurred two months ago and the other one stopped working after this recent update. The fun never ends with this game and even thought there are some issues with the game, I hope to play it again soon.

I love this game, I played constantly and it was so addicting but the problem is that I’ve finished the ability battles and most of the daily event battles and now I’m barely earning any ability stones and it’s really frustrating. So if y’all could figure out a way that at least the daily events would refresh so that I could earn new ability stones or another way for me to get more ability stones without having to pay for more, that’d be great.

I absolutely love this game, the graphics, characters, stories and different angles are very enjoyable! It’s a great game that you don’t feel obligated to spend money on. The only thing I would add is some way to get characters that aren’t available for scouting anymore. I hate being unable to fill out a codice and not having each character. It would be very interesting if we were able to trade with our friends or do an extra mini game to be able to access characters.

I do like the game but the recent update caused the game to crash when logging in. Call me stupid or whatever but I thought that since I have an iPhone, I can just re-download the game since it suppose to store in my iCloud. Thing is I lost all my data because of that decision, I saw later in the notices that I was just suppose to press ‘Clear Cache’. I know what you probably might say, “You can just do the data transfer.” That’s another problem, I was not aware that I needed to know my player ID plus make a password. I am pretty sure that I probably will never be able to get back my old data and that makes me feel devastated.

I’ve been playing this game for almost a year now, and normally I’m NOT one to actually post reviews about things. But this game has proven to be the exception to that, it’s worth talking about! It’s a very fun game that’s easy to pick up on, and it’s a lot of fun seeing new cards of your favorite characters as they come out. I’ve never really experienced any issues with the game that seriously effected my game play, and the game operators always give you compensation in terms of the in-game currency whenever there is any downtime due to maintenance or issues on their part. Overall, I really enjoy getting to see all my favorite BSD characters in the game and getting the opportunity to try for fun special event versions of them. It’s a very fun and very addicting game!! I highly recommend if you’re a BSD fan.

I love this game but I have a few complaints.

First of all, where are the Ivan mayoi cards? There’s mayoi cards for the light novel ppl and one for that dude who Fyodor played the cello infront of. We need more Ivan
appreciation. I know he has brain damage but he deserves some love.

Second of all, we need more fyodor banners. I want to make an only fyodor team. I was saving for him but now I barely have any gem moon things because I spend them all on the grape guy, Francis and shibusawa. I don’t have good self control okay?

Third of all make a UR available for fyodor please. Especially a talking one. I want to hear his voice. Please

Also one last thing…
Recently there’s been some events with aku and tachihara.
Are you trying to rub what happened in the manga in our faces or something?

I very rarely play games on my phone but this game has me addicted! Its a must have if you’re a fan of the anime or manga Bungo Stray Dogs. The character animations are cute as well! This is also one of the few games where you can earn a lot without needing to pay money. The AP regenerates fast as well, so its not like your waiting a long time to play again as well! Overall fantastic game and hearing the character voices talk to you is a fun detail as well!

I don’t play games very often, but when I found out that my favorite anime had its own game I just HAD to check it out. This game is amazing!! It took about a day or two to get the hang of it, but once I did, I couldn’t stop playing. It feels so rewarding to collect cool new characters and level them up in battle. Not to mention, the designs and themes for the character cards are SO vibrant and just overall awesome! Definitely a great game :)

by Hinatakuri

Theres a lot of good to say about this game, but the biggest thing in my eyes is that you can play non-stop without even once paying for anything. The option is there, but its not forced on the impatient to buy in order to play non-stop without waiting. You easily make enough per level to refill stamina and make that amount back next level. It builds up fast. Overall, I love it.

I love this game so much! But it really annoys me that you put kyouka Izumi as a port mafia because she turns and stays in the agency after. Now I really want kyouka on my team because she’s my favorite character but I am not allowed to pay for it. So I was wondering. I know this sounds petty but kyouka is my fav character and many other’s favorite too so I was wondering if you could please make her free . You would still have to scout to get it ofc. Thanks and keep up your great work!

I’m a huge fan of anime, so I’ve been searching for a really good game for any anime, and then I found this: the best anime game I’ve ever seen and it’s my favorite anime too! It’s really easy to play nonstop, I forgot they even had a energy bar! And the slingshot fighting idea was so easy to use and understand! And once you get a good understanding of how it works, it’s so fun to try to get an all clear! And the level up system is really nice! Plus it follows the anime to a t! I could keep going but I’ll be nice and stop now... this game is my life now. Oh, and you can play this game completely for free!!!!! That’s the best part about it!!!!

by Sinduku

the game is amazing and addicting to play! but i have a small suggestion for the developers and creators of the game.. is it alright if you add a small trading system in the game? i’d love it if you did! the game is fantastic and its fun to play all the time! the design is amazing but i just really want a trading system! i don’t want to be frustrating with this but me and my friend thinks it would be a good idea to trade as trading lets you earn new characters from your friends and maybe even items that you need! if you’d like me to translate this into another language, i’m always happy to help.

Honestly, Iv'e never really been into games, but I play this game everyday! It's so much fun, and anyone who has watched the show sould definitely get it! If I do have to say anything, I wish that you could trade or sell different characters with your friends. This would be a great and fun way to get rid of any doubles! It could be made to where you set the price (payed with the moon crystals 🌙) and then you could put that character for sale on a page in your profile, then other people could buy them!
Thats all I have to say! Bungou Tales is a super awesome game, and you should definitely check it out!

Hi there! Loving the game! I had a Japanese account for a little bit and was excited to hear that it came out in English! Atsushi came home and I’m having a good time!

One tiny issue I have though is some issues with the terms used in English, particularly with the “Kamikaze” attack. Though the origin of the word “kamikaze” originated from centuries ago, those outside of Japan associate it with World War II and Japanese imperialism. I understand there needs to be a term that differentiates it from Sync Attack, but it would be best to use a term that avoids negative associations and conflict. Even a word that maintains a literal translation of “kamikaze,” such as “typhoon” or “whirlwind,” would be nice.

That’s it! Thank you!

There had been a complication of some sort where users were unable to access the game. Due to confusion and impatience on my part I almost lost my account because I had thought I set up my data transfer password, but I hadn’t. I sent an inquiry/email to them in hopes to get it back. They were quick to respond.

Within the same day, once I started emailing back about my problem, they were super accommodating. I got my account back in the end. I’m extremely impressed and very grateful.

I was already really far along in the game, it would’ve been devastating to lose all my progress. Please play and support this game, the people working behind the scenes work very hard to resolve any issues that come up!

When I first started playing the game, I was stunned at how organized BungoStrayDogs was set up as well as how generous the game is to new players. I hadn't been too keen on the idea of a marble game, but it was so fun that it stuck to me and I was hooked after a few days. However, I had saw a review discussing the "kamikaze" attack's name and while the game was absolutely stellar, it had stuck in my head for a long time. I hadn't expected it to get a name change, but when I began to play one day I noticed that its name had changed to a more appropriate title! I was amazed at how receptive the developers of BungoStrayDogs was. I believe that BungoStrayDogs deserves a lot of recognition and is worth anyone's time! It's very fun, it's set up in a neat fashion and the developers take recommendations seriously. What else could you look for?

I initially found this game as an Instagram ad promoting the English release, so I was like, “sure why not?” since I loved this anime and still do! I gotta say, it does not disappoint! It’s an entertaining game with easy gameplay and lots of characters! If you’re someone who likes anime, games like Unison League, monster collecting games, or that one game where you just smack balls with another ball, then I’ve got good news for you: THIS GAME IS ALL OF THOSE! I love this game a lot, and have found the many features to be thoroughly entertaining. I highly recommend it!

So before I start saying anything, I’d like to say that I’m not one to play these kind of games. I usually find them boring and unappealing to me. But since I’m a fan of Bungou Stray Dogs, I decided to give it a try. And to my surprise, this game was different to me. I really enjoyed it! The music, the events, the stories, I enjoyed everything. There’s a minor problem tho, it’s not big one. Nor is it a problem that ruins the game or the experience or anything. It’s just that whenever you click on some buttons, they don’t “respond” to you. So you have to click again and maybe more than two times to some people. If that’s a problem everyone is facing that is. Nevertheless, this game is very enjoyable and I could play it for hours.

Thanks for reading, if you did lol.
