Tokyo Debunker Reviews

by Mintysoda

There’s only one thing that I can say that is good about the game, and that’s the story. That’s it. The story is literally the only thing the devs did right.

The rest is a train wreck.

The game is blatantly a p2w game. And i would even say pay to play, because it’s so hard to progress in the game if you are f2p. There’s just not enough lvl up materials and no, this isn’t just because this game is an afk game. Even with that aspect, it is very stingy.

Then there is the gacha; which is honestly the worst gacha i have ever seen. The guaranteed pity is at 500 pulls and you need to pay around $40 dollars per ten pull. That’s about $20,000 for a single ssr card. Absolutely ridiculous.

And did I mention that the story was good earlier? That’s actually blocked by a lvl cap and those caps can’t be broken if you can’t beat cases. But that’s the problem. The case difficulty skyrockets after a certain point and it becomes virtually impossible to beat it unless you have high lvl cards. Which you can’t get because the gacha rate is insane. And you also can’t lvl up your existing cards, cause there’s not enough free materials given in game. So now you just become stuck and you can’t progress the story.

Case in point: 4.5 is not an accurate rating for this game. Absolutely not.

by Selendria Lynn

It takes forever to level up your characters because the amount of resources (regular apples, rainbow apples, pink coins, potential potions, etc) is so hard to obtain in large quantities yet just leveling up one character takes so many of them. The cases get so much more difficult as you progress, where it would take days for a f2p to farm enough materials to lvl up their team enough to beat it. However p, you can’t progress in the story if u can’t get past a specific case. The rebate rewards for spending money for paid crystals is also not great, and I dislike how the paid crystals HAVE to be used first, especially since I like to save those for giveaways in the chats. I think developers have a lot to improve on.

I have been playing this game a little over a month now and feel it is time to provide my experience about the game. I do want to start by saying the artwork is gorgeous. That being said, that can lead to the frustrations with the banner pulls because you really want that artwork. The game does say that if you do not get an SSR character card within 500 pulls then you can get one. And let me tell you that you have an opportunity to pull up to those 500 cards. I have pulled at least 100 cards and not a one of them were an SSR character card. And when I did miraculously pull an SSR card off of the Towa banner, it wasn’t even the banner card. The story is so-so, and in order to progress the story you have to complete cases, which can also be very frustrating. You pretty much have to pray to the RNG gods when you get to the higher level cases to complete. I have been stuck in the level 65 case for weeks. Sorry this review is so long. To sum it up, you will be frustrated if you want to play this game without putting money into it.

I was really hoping this game would be great as I’ve been waiting for it for years; only for it to release and be totally different than what was advertised years ago. I get game development changes and the concept of games can alter, but it’s just a sleezy gacha game with little gameplay mechanics.

Not to mention a lot of the background art and other images are straight AI. Why not hire a real artist like you did with everything else in the game? That’s shameful lol

The push notifications for this game is horrible, you’ll get one every 10 minutes. I had to turn mine off because of it.

And the in-game shop is also horrendous, more people are willing to pay if you lower the prices and give better deals. It’s obnoxious.

The pity system is also horrendous and the summoning can use some work. At least separate the characters are the warding cards. And 500 pity just for the rare character? That’s bad even for a gacha game.

I wish this game was how it was advertised and more fun. Get rid of the AI art too, it’s a mockery to artists and game development

by Crystel_

I decently played for 4 days and all I can say is the game is only worth it for the story. At most I give the story a 6/10. But other than that, it doesn’t have much going for it. The pity system rate is poorly at 500 rolls. It’s such a cash grab. They’ve released other games where they just abruptly end it. So so be careful when spending money on it. They will not care to end of service it. I also noticed the use of AI backgrounds which is such a disappointment. Overall the game is horrible, please go play Twisted Wonderland for your buck and a long lasting game life.

by Winged_Cat45

There is no game play in this game it’s an idle game with auto battles that isn’t fun at all. The only kind of actual game play is a frustrating rhythm section where you are likely to die a lot. The game is a cash grab and asks you to spend money pity is 500 and not worth it, gacha rates are terrible. The characters are rip offs from better series, they literally have characters that act like Zentisu and Gojo and look similar to them as well. Game is not worth it don’t waste your time or money.

by FaiBeari

Shocked that the gacha rate is even worse than Genshin Impact— they should’ve set a guaranteed SSR for every 100 pull.

If you do spend money like $100 you only get 6088 diamonds (without the first time buy bonus). It takes 1980 diamonds to do a 10x pull— so imagine pulling for more than 100 times and still not getting any SSR characters— And according to the gacha percentage it looks like you need to pull over 500 times to get a guarantee?

Which makes it pointless to even consider spending any money at all since you won’t get anything. Other than the horrible gacha rates the story is good. But I feel like the choices we make don’t make an impact to the story?

Disappointed that we didn’t get any rewards for preregistration and the fact you need so much diamonds for everything. Like explain to me why do I have to pay over 2500 diamonds to unlock a profile picture on a character I already spent more than 2500 diamonds to unlock from gacha??? And you cannot earn enough diamonds as a free to play like why do we only get 10 diamonds from reading stories? Other than reading stories you can obtain from completing missions. But the amount is no where near enough to get a guarantee character due to the terrible gacha rate.

by Haikyuu Novice

So, this may sound like an odd thing to focus on for an app review, but hear me out. A user on twitter pointed out that the game uses ai art and asked when they planned to update it, instead of answering or ignoring the twitter manager BLOCKED the user and hid their comment. This gives toxic concerns about how they’re going to handle future criticisms regarding the game and the management. I played for a little bit when it came out, but finding out that you can be blocked over criticisms makes me want to boycott the company as a whole.

Address the situation or don’t, but blocking people for what they say is more disheartening than motivating. Do better, don’t give me your nonsensical, lying spiel as a response. Just do better.

by Sleepy_ghxst

Game is fun and has a good character cast and is meant more for idle playing, the gacha rates aren’t anything remarkable (and are in fact fairly bad actually), but nothing that would generally ruin the fun…

..Until you notice that all the background art is done with AI. Its incredibly disappointing since I was looking forward to this for months, but now I dont feel the desire to play and much less put my money into it

by Krysliay

I’m gonna go straight to the point. I’m so disappointed with the quality of the game. Story is good, HOWEVER,

Pulling for characters and getting them is mere impossible. The gacha rate is awful and getting the diamonds to pull for the characters is so hard to get. There is no other way to get diamonds but playing the story and doing the achievements. Moreover, you don’t get any special rewards for pre-registration (WHICH I WAS). With the other comments I’ve read, this game is HEAVILY pay to win. Pay diamonds to change your profile? Pay more diamonds just get more diamonds?? Pay other stuff with diamonds and not get anything??? Like what are these weird mechanics they’ve added????

Since pulling for characters is hard, upgrading them is also hard. There’s this “campus” thing where you build and get stuff from it, but it’s not enough. Unlike other gacha games, there’s special events where you can farm for materials. This game doesn’t have ANY. No mini games, no side quests, no nothing. I’ve noticed that there’s no stamina which is bad because like I’ve said before, there’s no events to farm for your characters.

This game feels so cheaply made and you think the game would be good since we’ve waited 6 years? No, I expected more like actual animation in the story, fun side games etc, but I’ve been hit with such a bad quality game that I just can’t.

Hopefully it’ll be better soon, but the way it is, it’s not going anywhere.

by Dixiewolfe

The story is amazing. It's what got me hooked, and why I still play. The voice acting is top notch, and it really brings the story to life. However, the gameplay is a total joke even in the mobile game genre. The idle game portion is just tapping the same buttons every day with absolutely zero variety or choice in what to level up. Any battles in the game are just time gates to keep you from breezing through the game, and it's insanely hard sometimes to increase your power as the game gets incredibly expensive with the numerous currencies you need to improve your team. The PVP gameplay is also horrendous since it is easily P2W. It has been obvious to me from the very beginning that this game is an enormous cash grab, but unfortunately the story captured my heart and the characters are so endearing that I'd still recommend it if you can ignore the rest of the problems.

by RogueRuin

Waiting excitedly for the release of this, just to be disappointed. I play other gatcha games, so that’s nothing by new, doesn’t bug me. What does bug me is this game is a clear money grab! The packs are SO expensive and you don’t get much out of them. Literally everything will cost you the paid currency “diamonds”, even something as trivial as changing your profile picture and name, and it’s ridiculous. You can buy a pack for $20 to get 1000 diamonds, and it could cost up to 7000 diamonds just to change your profile picture lol that’s how ridiculous it is! There also isn’t much to do outside of the story, it’s all just non interactive clicking. The only reason I rated this game 2 stars is because of the story. I love the story, but honestly don’t think I’ll be able to read future chapters unless I pay, and to be honest, it isn’t worth putting money into.. so we’ll see how long this game lasts on my phone. They really need to look into Love & Deepspace and learn a thing or two about a great game.

by Jjjjjjjjjjjjhjhjhjjsmkw

I have had so much fun with this game. I love the mechanics and the story alongside all of the characters, and was honestly addicted to it. However, when I made a new account on a different server in the game, a glitch occurred that locked me in the tutorial and doesn’t let me click out. Because of this I could not access the game at all. I’ve tried everything, including deleting TokyoDebunker and it’s data and reinstalling, but am still brought to the same screen.

I was disappointed when this happened because I had spent money on the game but couldn’t access any of the things I had purchased. I reached out to support multiple times, as well as on social media but it’s been about two weeks and I haven’t gotten a response.

Although I heard lots of good things about the game before trying it, I did hear that their customer support was extremely lacking and that they weren’t always addressing issues. I’m hoping that eventually this issue can be fixed so I can play again, but at this point I’m sure I’ve gotten kicked out of my guild and have missed a lot of the card drops I was excited for. Overall, great game but I would really appreciate better customer support for bugs and glitches

by ThisSideOfTheMoonNami

Has combat/ idle aspects with minor interactive story. No summon tickets anywhere to be had, not as quest rewards, login reward, not even in the paid bundles or a free pull during the tutorial. Summons only made with diamonds. Summons cost just under 2000 diamonds with 1.59 usd for 80diamonds, for a ten card draw. Content is super easy to max out unless willing to literally spend hundreds of $$. Game is super time consuming due to the story interactions. Audio is in Japanese text in English, so you cannot set it to play and just listen and interact when needed. No account binding to google or any other credentials. Overall the game feels half finished and rushed. Fake ads and missing basic game features make this game a cash grab. Who charges 750 to 3500 diamonds for a profile picture?

by Jouta Kujo

i really enjoy this game and think the character designs and story is interesting, but the backgrounds being AI really distracts from the story sometimes because of the blurriness and being unable to identify what it is. some backgrounds are also very ugly. games like these should be uplifting artists not using their art against them.
the rates are also pretty terrible. pulls are expensive and the chance to get the main banner card is less than 1%.
beautiful game, needs improvement. please pay your artists.

by Jared Kleinman

This game has a great story and amazing voice acting, but it has many issues that can overshadow what they do well.

- The AI art.
Clearly, this game has many incredible artists working on it. But, AI art is used for backgrounds and assets just to save a few bucks. It’s really disappointing because the game is full of unique ideas that could be brought to life by creatives, but instead soulless AI is used.
Players have pointed this out, just for the devs to ignore the feedback and block their accounts.

-The gacha rates.

The gacha rates are extremely unfair and they make this game pay to win. Additionally, the fact that you have to pay diamonds to just change a profile picture is just ridiculous. It’s difficult to obtain diamonds in the first place, and that with the horrible gacha rates makes the gacha experience the worst i’ve ever experienced in my 5 years of playing many different gacha games.

There’s many other issues I could list, but other players have put them into words better than I ever could.

by Rosemary2719

My sound doesn’t work , there is no music or voice audio . But I love the art style of this game. Will rate higher when fixed

by Kitcat1104

If you were drawn to TokyoDebunker based off of their marketing I will warn you it is not a horror game and those little ads are incredibly misleading. It’s your run of the mill game. Voice acting is great. Game mechanics are meh, they don’t explain everything well. The rhythm game is meh. If you like listening to the nutcracker music score it goes hard in TokyoDebunker lol not for me (also strange that y’all use actual brand names. You shouldn’t do that)

by ZexionEmoish

This game is a disappointment and has a messy interface. Having the story go on a few minutes to be forced out of the story then tap on a thing to continue is annoying and breaks any immersion. It feels like way too similar to Twisted Wonderland but none of the characters are charming. The voice acting and animation are fine but everything else about TokyoDebunker I dislike. It’s nothing like the original game we were shown and I wanted to play.

by Ortthree

I pre registered because I saw adds with some really lovely and spooky illustrations, and the comic parts hold up pretty well! But other part of the story outside of the comic sections have some really soulless AI backgrounds that just cheapen everything. Witch is a shame because at some point it’s obvious there were some very talented artists working on this project. The writing is good, there’s some lovely voice acting, I enjoy the character designs, the cats are adorable. There’s a lot going for this. But it’s hard to ignore when an image of hands holding champagne glasses has a hand with six fingers, another hand with its fingers merging together and just a floating glass right at the center. Really disappointing.

Also wasn’t expecting the gatchapon card aspect, but I didn’t look into the game too deeply so that could be my fault. So this game has all of the issues with that type of game: draw rates aren’t balanced, difficulty spikes to try to get you to spend money, etc.

by Arcane0wl

The story and characters themselves are decent; and I want to see how they progress throughout the plot. I hope that they add more content or have events so there’s something for players to do while waiting for mainline chapters to release. The biggest draw backs of the game are that it’s heavily p2w and character drop rates are atrocious. The devs are limiting their player base with paywalls. They need to look at the rates of other gacha games as examples to balance their own game. Their marketing also needs work because the gameplay in the ads is not at all in the game.

by Aileenierz

Gacha game with poor rewards, the art is okay, but the “case solving” they advertise is just mindless auto battles. Very disappointed. The difficulty scaling down the line is also very geared towards spending money so… I won’t be.

by Colonel_nibblets

I waited so long for this game like everybody else and just to find out that not only did they use AI to generate a lot of images in the game but on top of that the story isn’t really that great and its not a otome. How do you announce a game years ago, had all that time and then just took the cheap route last minute? I really wanted good romance just like Obey Me! or Mystic messenger or many other great otomes but this one was a true bust. This game had a lot of potential too, the characters look great, the story was kind of slightly there, the gameplay is fun and engaging but at what cost? I’m sorry, I know this is a free game, but I seriously can’t support a game that has AI images in it and I wanted a romance game 😭 so it’s a no for me.

by Angelfruitloop

The story of the game is great, but the gameplay is extremely repetitive and unfortunately is quite lacking. The autobattling is dull.

Additionally, there are not enough opportunities to earn gems and it takes forever to get enough to ten pull on the gatcha banner. It just feels like a lot of work with no rewards. Spending money is the only way to get enough stuff for a ten pull.

I pre registered but saw no rewards for doing so. It’s just unfortunate. I had high hopes for this one.

Also I should add that this is a small detail, but inconvenient nonetheless. To be able to change your profile picture to a character you have, you have to spend gems to change it. It’s hard enough to earn gems, why would I want to spend them on a profile picture instead of the banner.

Yeah hard no for me.

by Definitely Normal Guy

augh, where do i even get started.

-the story is decent, i got invested in it and i'm interested in the characters themselves. each have unique personalities and opportunities for a plot point. although numerous artwork is ai generated.

-the gacha rates are brutal and i would not recommend buying diamonds from the shop unless you plan on “whaling” without much thought. 500 pulls for a guaranteed ssr is insane, making it over 99k diamonds for what its worth.

-the gameplay itself has a major jump in difficulty at case 38 (around chapter 2 story wise), you won’t be getting anywhere due to lack of character level up material. it’ll take you 1-2 days to clear the stage, whatever lies ahead is beyond me.

so far this game isn’t the Greatest, but it has potential i guess. hand out more rewards, lower the difficulty, etc.

by Alyssatigers

I actually really enjoy the game and will likely keep playing. However, the game does feel super greedy, and you will likely need to spend some kind of money to have a little fun.

It’s kind of ridiculous that to summon ten times it costs about $42 to have enough diamonds if you’re starting from zero. On top of that, the win rates are so low that it feels like it’s a waste to spend the diamonds. Since everything is combined together, the guaranteed “hits” can be ward cards that no one really wants.

Last night, I did 4 summons, and I didn’t get a single SSR card. Not even an SSR ward card. That’s over $100 worth of diamonds. I do like the game, but I can see myself stop playing in the future because of this greediness.

by By:Oreo

I’ve been playing this for a few days, and before that I have also played Evertale. A lot of the mechanics are similar, but I noticed one big difference: the summons are double the price. This wouldn’t be an issue if it gave more rewards and diamonds, but they don’t. By just logging on to Evertale, I get more rewards and soul stones than I do by playing Tokyo Debunker for a few hours. The shop prices are also crazy. You can spend a dollar to not even get a full summon. A dollar per summon is a red flag to me in any gacha game, especially when it has low rates and 500 pity. It’s frustrating because I like the game, story, and characters, but it doesn’t feel rewarding to play. It just feels like a cash grab.

by Thechosengiraffe

I’ve seen how the game was built over these past years. I’ve been waiting for it to release and here are my thoughts.

1. The characters and story are the biggest strengths for this game
2. The gacha rates are abysmal and the way diamonds are distributed, it makes it almost impossible to pull.
3. There should’ve been pre-register and launch rewards.
4. YOU SHOULDNT HAVE TO PAY DIAMONDS FOR PROFILE PICTURES. They should be unlocked when you get a card/reach a certain card level.
5. Some of the backgrounds use AI. It is highly disappointing. A game company should know that AI is frowned upon.
6. It is hard to level up cards, especially in later stages.

Overall, the game is not bad. But it could benefit from a decent amount of improvement. I hope the devs can listen to player feedback and fix some of these issues and make things easier on the players.

by RopsHyde

Listen i really want to give this game 5* but there are some major flaws that should be addressed... ive been playing since launch and i adore the story and characters but some of the mechanics and systems are not great. The tutorial doesnt explain all that it should, took me a few days to learn about the equipable gems. The difficulty spikes are pretty large and difficult at times and the games not really rewarding... ive played so many gachas but the rates and rewards are horrendous in this game. 30% card and 5% character is really bad. Im on all 3 servers with anout 13 ssr cards but not a single character and making it 1980 for a 10 pull and only rewarding 10 gems a segment is really unbalanced. Theres players paing hundreds getting stuck fairly easy and afk barely gives you anything after 12hrs. Like i said i really want to love this game but i think it needs a rebalance. Also making people pay more gems to use their characters as their pfp is insane

by LalaChanelK

This game has a positive qualities, but there are some large frustrations holding it back. First, the drop rates are terrible in practice because warding cards and character cards are mixed together. For example, I just did a 10 pull hoping for one of the time limited card and got NINE warding cards, and most were just R quality. There should be a limit to the number of warding cards that can be pulled, because this is absolutely maddening.

Second, you should not have to pay diamonds for the profile pictures when you already have to be lucky to pull the card to even get the option to buy the pic. It’s especially crazy that the SSR profile pictures cost more than a 10 pull. That’s a straight up scam. Just give us the profile pic if we manage to pull the card, that’s what every other gacha game I’ve played does.

Things like this make the game feel frustratingly greedy. It’s the sort of thing that turns me off of playing.

by Myhomiejesus

Generally speaking, the game itself is good with a great story and tons of other functions and mini games, but the game is really set up as pay to win. Progressing in the game requires obtaining characters from the gacha but the pull rate of them is extremely slim. I’ve spent about $40 on the game and only obtained one SSR character. Paid resources in game are really expensive for the little amount you get and even then it won’t be worth it because the gacha isn’t going to give you a guaranteed SSR anyway. If you play this game it’ll be more worth it to not spend any money and take weeks to progress rather than spend money for just a slight possibility that you will progress faster.

by SakiBakii

The game is pretty cool, art and story is nice and the functions are pretty basic so easy to pass the time. But it’s too much based on using Irl money to progress within the game.

Until it gets a better system on getting materials for leveling up your characters without using irl money then I’ll make it 4 stars but for now I can only give it a 3. Fingers are crossed 🤞

by BrookeFordyce

The story is really great but everything else…..
You have items but it’s not clue what to do with them, no real tutorial. There isn’t one location to exchange items you get that say exchange this item…. And there is no shop really to buy things. The cards are hard to get anything from a pull and upgrading cards once you get to level 25 forget it. You need certain apples which is hard to come by and you really can’t buy them anywhere because there is no shop really. So you get stuck at case 38 because of this. I really want to hold out because the story is good but the rest of the game and how hard it is to upgrade and stuff makes me want to quit it, not worth any money because you buy gems and that allows you to do things like pull cards….. you earn coins but that is to build stuff Still not shop to buy the things you really need. Very disappointing

by SFH1

Tokyo Debunker has a really good storyline. It has very interesting characters and the first two episodes are very well written. The third and fourth however fall short. They feel rushed and take away the players agency and importance. As the main character you really don’t have much to do and don’t do your job very well. The MC takes verbal beatings without the option to deny, refute, or stand up for herself. I think this game is very fun and is a great example of an idle game. A similar game would be Disneys: twisted wonderland. I think that the marketing is a problem for many but many similar games have bad marketing (such as obey me). I think a huge problem however is the gatcha system. It is nearly impossible to get character cards higher than an R rating. I am on episode 5 and have 1 Sr and SSR card for respectively (the SR was the free card from the beginning of the game).You can only set those cards as home screens as well and have to pay diamonds for pfps in game. I’m f2p btw. I have done multiple ten pulls which claim to always give and SR or higher card however this includes warding cards when it really shouldn’t. They do not have the same value and should be treated as such. It makes the game incredibly difficult when you can’t get proper character cards because of the warding cards.

by Dndyfwojebt

This is NOT an otome. There is no romance between the MC and any of the characters, even though it was advertised as such when in development. Very twisted-wonderland coded. Gameplay is entertaining otherwise, but the Gacha is system is very pay-to-play.

by Klassidyy

Coming from a personal view, the game itself is not bad. The characters are decently interesting along with the premise of the story. The art is very pleasing and the gameplay (while not the most fun) is very easy to understand. It is very reminiscent of app games where players have to wait a certain amount of time to level up buildings and characters.

However, the gacha rates and currency are terrible. Most of the packs are extremely expensive (almost $100 for 5000 currency which is roughly about 2 1/2 pulls). The gacha pity is at 500, meaning you will likely need to save a lot to get a guaranteed character.

Additionally, raids are a joke in this game. Most games would start with an easier level cap for players upon releasing. However, the current raids are near impossible to beat.

Generally, a good game but is hindered by its p2w functions and does not incentive players with many rewards.

by PotatoesAreAwesomeAsHeck

I pre registered for TokyoDebunker back in march or late February and was promised pre registration rewards but the game downloaded and I never got them! I mean the games great but please give me my pre registration rewards😭

by _Kichi_

LOOKS COOL!!

by ❤️kpop❤️

Welp- guess my name is too long to be in the main story💀

by Guhgsjrbjsa

Alright, story is nice, we all love that. But every thing is expensive. More than $20 for every ten pulls that have 1% rate in getting an SSR, and the pity for a banner is 500 pulls. Not only that, characters are not the only gacha in this game. You need to pull for equipments, upgrade materials, etc… And those are actually important if you want to progress JUST TO UNLOCK MORE STORY. And unlocking an avatar is more expensive than 10 pulls, after you paid a shjt ton pulling for the card itself already?? Yeah avatar is not a necessity, but hey, this is a bishounen collection game, we want to display that one fav character. BE LESS GREEDY, please. You already cut the cost by using AI and already drive awy some potential customers because of that. More will leave if this keep up.

by Maiiyth

I really enjoyed the story so far and keep wanting to read more. However, I have run into a few problems so far:
- the sudden difficulty curve after Chapter 2
- the lack of resources
- the crazy price tags on most of the payable items
This is the first Otome game I played that had at least 8-10 different paywalls for materials. And some of the prices are +$100. This is also the first time all of my guildmates are stuck at the same level and cannot proceed further with the story because of the sudden jump in difficulty.

by Anraleth.2

The titles says it mostly but what you get is a idle expensive clicker (sometimes) game with a pretty waay overpriced gatcha, with some thrown in cute cats, some comics to make things 'different and unique', honestly they could have done much better but it seems like just another money hungry scheme to try to get you with pretty graphics and handsome bishonen/husbandos. At least they give you the option in the beginning to 'pick your character that your going to save' or whatever, but that's not really affecting the story at all and youre stuck being a stereotypical MC girl with no customization options at all (shame on you. You could have at least given options for race or gender or anything. But no. Typical short haired MC white girl.)
My god. I had so much hope with the graphics and everything bc I had pre-registered. It bombed. It gets three stars because I like cats and the nurse guy is probably gonna get under appreciated.

by Bad Musicly

Overall the characters, storyline and game play if fun and somewhat immersive, I was really excited when it came out. Then got disappointed when leveling up, gaining gachas and collecting items. I feel like the game makes it impossible to do these things without buying perks, etc.

Because of this, I can’t even move ahead in the storyline without clearing certain battles and I can’t clear battles if I don’t already have the items to level up, which obviously- I NEED TO CLEAR BATTLES. It’s a big time constraint coming back the next day only to be granted with certain exp and tasks, that I can’t fulfill because again, I can’t level up! In order to get such! So as much as I like the game, it’s not much of a RPG if I’m limited to certain options, forcing me to buy exp to level up the gachas, diamond, etc in order to continuing having fun playing.

by FarReacher

Twisted Wonderland but more gimmicks and not Disney. I really enjoy the story, the setting, and the varied personalities behind the characters! The art is really cute, but animations can feel a bit janky and less smooth at times. Overall good to past my time on. I look forward to seeing the future of this game.

Also, I wish the $$$ rates weren’t so high… I don’t think I’ve seen a gacha ask for this much money for this amount of materials yet, and it was a bit harder than anticipated to get characters. That being said, I don’t often spend money on gacha so it’s not necessarily a “me” problem, but for everyone else’s sakes, I hope they make the prices more forgiving

by Eoooonnnnn33

The game is surprisingly good! I preordered it ages ago, and I am not too disappointed with the result. The story really carries the gameplay though, the battle system and other aspects really aren’t that fun if not a bit aggravating at times, luckily you can skip most of them. The story has a feature where it shows you graphic novel panels, which makes it feel really dynamic and unique! The quality of art in the panels is really good and makes the characters way more interesting. Basically, the story is awesome but the other aspects are just alright. I think the story makes up for it enough to earn it a solid four stars

This is the greediest Gacha I've ever played. Pulls are expensive, rates are non-existent, PITY IS AT 500?! You even have to use your diamonds to change your profile photo. It's pretty terrible. Character cards have a LOT going on when it comes to battle aspects(power balance in cases is a whole other can of worms) and it's kinda hard to keep up with. World chat auto-scroll is terrible, there has got to be a message slow-mode or SOMETHING to help combat the constant chaos. With that being said... The story and art are great. The voice acting is a 10/10, and I love how the comic comes into play with story lessons. The cats are adorable, and everyone in chat/guilds are very nice. I love the characters and their designs, and even though this game has much to improve on, I think it has a lot of potential.

I think it has good potential, the story and characters are great. However gameplay could use some work. I think having the ability to check the elements of both the characters and the anomalies in the stage startup would be awesome. Also pointing out power levels for the anomalies so we have a bit of an idea of what we are getting into when we want to start a case. I think the pity could be changed and it does seem to be more pay but I’m reserving my judgement as this is still new and I anticipate more changes. I would give free players the opportunities to earn diamonds so they don’t feel pressured to pay. I’m looking forward to the future of the game and I’m currently obsessed with it so it has definite high points, and I hope that it continues to evolve going forward.

I’ve only been playing it since its release so this rating might change. As of the moment I like that game. Part of the game that caught my eye at first was of course the men. When I started playing it, Is tarted to fall in love with the story. I have this a 4/5 instead of a 5/5 only because of how pay to win it is. You have to pay to even use the character as a pfp and the more rare it is the higher the price.

Other than the gem system, I have been lovin the characters (even though you can only get to know them through the story for now), the cute chibi version, the story, and the unhinged chat.

so far, i’ve been really enjoying this game. the story and premise is a lot of fun and right away you meet a lot of really interesting characters, which is one of my favorite parts! as i go through the story and learn more about everyone, it feels so rewarding.

however, there are a few tweaks that need to be made. first of all, the pity system is awful. maybe separate gachas should be made for ward cards and characters? i have no good characters, which makes progressing in fights so hard.

as for the fights, the power creep is insane. you get through so many fights but suddenly you need 50k more power to progress!! and to top it all off, you can hardly get new and powerful cards to beat the levels with. and then you can’t progress through the story without beating the cases. this is really frustrating because the story is easily the best part. i’d like to be able to read the story without having to progress through the cases.

all in all, this game has a lot of potential and so far it’s super fun! i’d love to see some cleaning up off the glitches (sometimes the text won’t show up in the story, etc) as well as some tweaks to the system, but so far i like this game! can’t wait to see how it develops over time. i hope this game gets better, because i dropped obey me! for similar issues but im really having fun here >.>

As much as I consider this a 5 star game, I think it can be improved on the gacha aspect of the game. As another review said, it’s hard to pull cards when warding AND character cards are in the pool. In the past 20 pulls that I did (over a 2 week period since I grind for diamonds) I’ve gotten TWO character SRs, and the rest were warding cards that I don’t even get to use because I don’t even have enough character cards to assign them to - not even enough R cards. Also, I get that we have to work together as a guild to fish, but I think we should either: A. have the option to fish more than once a day (maybe once every 12 hours) or B. get a higher chance of catching more rare fish… I catch the same exact fish every day/week so my guild N E V E R gets new cats. Another thing: can we PLEASE get some power levels or something for the cases we attempt? I don’t understand how an enemy that is 30 levels below me knocks me out everytime I try. It’s really frustrating but I love the story and characters so much so that’s why I keep the game.

by Gregeoyj

Genuinely really enjoying the game and the story so far! However there is a very sharp difficulty jump on the cases at a certain point on chapter 2. I think something very beneficial that can be added so that players can know how far they are from beating certain cases is a recommended power level per case. This way I could level up my characters to be around the recommended level for chapters without guessing at how much power I need. Additionally, it feels very difficult to get new characters. Granted, I’ve only done 2 ten pulls on the banner but from those 20 pulls I only received two character cards whereas the rest were warding cards. I think potentially allowing players to do one free pull on a banner a day or every other day could help combat the feeling that you’re starved for cards.

Great game, would totally recommend playing. It’s good, but I’m newer to the game, and I can’t really say anything yet. It’s a gacha game, or a game where it has a pull/wish system for chances to get new items. I understand that this may be a turn-off for some, but even if it is, I would still recommend playing. I’ve gotten some others to try the game, even some who don’t know/like gacha games. I do insist on even giving it a shot, since it’s worth your time.

by Nixyn Is A Butt Eater

the story of the game is lowk the best part of the game its js that ways of getting materials is kinda difficult n requires a lot of hours offline the game which can be a bit of a struggle. tbh the battle system of the game is just generic and has some janky animations time to time, maybe some more.. visual improvements on the battle system since it looks cheap as heck!! also what is wrong with the gacha system.

by NeviyaG

The story and what not is AMAZING! I’ve never been more enthralled in a game’s story like this, however my issues comes with the gameplay. Materials are so hard to get and take forever to gather that It makes me not want to play the game anymore. I’m stuck and I feel like I’ll be stuck here for days at the case I’m currently on because I just can’t get resources fast or efficiently enough. How am I supposed to enjoy the story if I can’t progress anymore? I’m not sure if it’s worthwhile if I can’t do anything about the position I’m in. I feel like the system for the materials for the cards are a bit too greedy since we hardly get enough for one card.

This game is absolutely creative and insane in its story. At the beginning, It was a little boring till in the middle of the story when things started to get interesting. But it made sense because there was a scene in Chapter 1. There was fire beneath a balcony and your crush stood on the railing. Your crush is also the person you picked to save, And at the end of the story, that happened with the fire; your crush on the railing, ect. For the devs of this wonderful game, please make your art progress to the fullest. Not trying to rush you, anyways that marks this review!

by Mgeezerrrrr

I personally did not follow the original concept so I came into the game fresh and it’s much better than I expected especially bc the ads are verrrry misleading. As a gacha game I’ve found it very generous cuz there’s many ways to get free resources (achievements, daily bonuses, etc.) the selling point is really the story and voice acting, absolutely beyond phone game quality in my experience. In regards to gameplay it’s a deck builder with auto battle (same as Obey Me basically) but with a few easy rhythm games added in (another way to get gems to pull cards.) so far there’s not much in the way of an otome game, but there’s a plethora of hot guys and I’m going to give to benefit of doubt and hold out for some type of update to that in the future. It’s very much so an idle/tap game and imo done really well (so far!)

I had downloaded this game a while back when it first came out but due to bad reviews I didn’t give a chance and deleted the game after not even an hour of gameplay so I really didn’t get read the story. I downloaded game again but this time with an open mind and decided to give it another chance and boy I’m glad I did the story is really good. I really like it and find it super enjoyable and entertaining usually I get bored quickly with the stories and skip them but this one managed to keep my interest piqued. Definitely recommend 👍

by Mel343433433

I love this game. The characters and scenery are beautifully done. The story is well thought out and entertaining. As the game is in its infancy still there are a few key things that should be fixed in my opinion. There is no where to gain or buy summon cards. There isn’t a place to forge equipment. The rewards for in game purchases are somewhat minimal. You can only access the rewards for characters you’ve texted. There is no avatar design or outfit function, which is a bummer. I would like to see weekly mini games. There is no where to develop intimacy with individual characters. Once again, I absolutely am infatuated with this game and am so happy with it; however improvements must happen if it is to survive long term.

I kept seeing the ads everywhere and me loving cats and story games I decided to give it a shot. I wasn't expecting much plus adds tend to use fake gameplay so I wasn't expecting anything but it turned out to be such an amazing game!!! Yes all the adds where fake but this game has such an amazing story and the cat aspect doesn’t disappoint either. It’s super cute and all the artwork and movements in the story are well done. There is also your gilds you can join or create and you fish so you get cats to come visit. Also the story’s are creepy sone might even be scary.

The one thing that does bother me is that there are clear character ripoffs. If you play you will see the connections but don’t let this deter you from this game

I wish there where more games like this one but please don’t use false adds they are annoying.

by Tiffanyyyyc

I clicked on the ad to download this game because it was advertised as beautifully drawn characters and cats, and in fact, upon opening the game, I was greeted with even more! Beautifully drawn characters, cats, an interesting plot line, gorgeous art, amazing voice actors, lore, world building, fun mini games and more!!!!!! What more could a girl want? TokyoDebunker is so worth your time if you’re looking for something fun, easy to play, entertaining, and just beautiful to look at. The aesthetics are wonderful and the music choice is great too!!

I wasn’t expecting the aspect of an idle rpg battle, tycoon clicker type game, gatcha rolling aspect along with a wonderful chose-your-path story line. I’m thoroughly enjoying every aspect of this game and how they all seamlessly blend together to keep you on your toes for more.

Really truly enjoying my time playing this game :) I appreciate that there are no options forcing you to pay “real” money. It makes the game more enjoyable while the option is still present! thank you for creating this!!!!

by J I Ex

I really like this game but there’s a few things I hate. Like really hate, first is the case lock system. Trying to read a story but I can’t continue because I have to clear a case and you won’t even know how strong the enemy will be. Next is the wishing system I like it I really do but it’s hard to build pity or obtain anything because for the average player a ssr won’t come until at least 200 pulls basically forcing you to spend money but if you’re good at farming then you should be fine. Besides all that I really enjoy the game especially the characters (except a few I don’t like including MC) I recommend if you’re bored.

by Mixnmedium

Pros:
I love the balance between fun and dark in the story of the game. As someone who works, it's also nice that the gameplay is pretty automatic. I also love that it is cumulative. Every card matters instead of just a select top five like most other games. This makes leveling cards more relevant. There is also a good selection of morally good vs bad characters in the game which makes it more intriguing compared to games where everything is centered around your player. The story would still be good without the mc. Still, there is a good amount of player input into dialogue or quizzes. The story is the best part of the game! The BGM is also great, I love the remixed classical music. So much of this game is awesome, I could complement so much more than what I have.

Suggestions:
Please have an art gallery for the story art. It would also be good to have character bios with their full design somewhere in the gallery. I personally like to make fanart so more references would be more user friendly for fans like me! It would also be nice to be able to customize the profile picture of our player to the one houses or dress our avatar up.

I remembered its early development and I wanted to participate for early access but I got busy and completely forgot about it. Now playing it after two weeks, I wish I played the early access. The game has developed so well and the graphics, the voice acting, and the characters— are so memorable and fun. Sad that I didn't play the early access hut glad to play it now.

But I have read mixed reviews that it was an otome game but seemed to have been scrapped and honestly, it would be fun to date a few of the characters and unlock compatible options the more you play, but I’m having fun and enjoying the story and the quirkiness of it all!

I’ve been waiting on this game for years and years and it’s honestly better than I thought it would be! So many things to do and not get bored, and the characters I’ve seen so far are adorable! I’m not super far into the story yet, but I’m looking forward to see it develop. I wish we could customize our character a bit. I understand not in the cut scene but I think it would be fun to make our icon more unique as an option instead of one of the cards. I like this game a lot so far though!

by Anonymous Tkdb Fan

This game is litterally incredible from the artwork to the story and everything about it is just wow the characters are all unique and the story is great I honestly can’t wait for more this game deserves so much more hype

A lot of people have been hating on it in groups and making more people hate it but trust me it’s very good and worth every minute of playtime! The gem giving is incredible if u play it right and the game just overall is so good I haven’t loved a game this much in awhile !!!!!!

by Raaaahk

I absolutely love this game. I do wish it was easier to farm for rainbow apples. Maybe a way to make regular apples into rainbow apples. Or a possibility to drop them when chatting. Also the giveaway feature could use some work, for example maybe instead of who can click the fastest it can be who is in the chat at the time is eligible for the giveaway.

by Animikean

Started playing on Saturday for monsters and cats, but they put effort into characters and storylines and I’m totally here for that. Found a great group in my guild to parse out mechanics that weren’t clear, but I’m so happy to work through it and be on this ride.

by Gay Salad

To preface: I hate gacha games. This will be the only gacha that I won’t drop within the first week. The story is actually good and the gameplay is straightforward. If you obsess over getting a certain card of your fav, you are going to be raked over the coals with the in game currency exchange rate. If you don’t actually care what card you get and just use them to rank up and advance the story, you’ll be just fine. Honestly wish I could just pay upfront for the full game, but that’s not marketable these days I guess.

Great visual novel so far, can’t wait to see the next chapters.

by Chuyopi

I like it already.

by Asffbndid Xx

I downloaded this when there was no reviews since I had the notifications on when this would be available to download. I didn’t immediately make a review because I of course had to play and try out the game but I LOVE IT!!

by RoastedNuts2

It’s different than most games I play, but so far I’m very intrigued. The story is fun and I really enjoy the animation and plot line so far. Excited to see what this game has in store.

by ✟☠️✟•Miamento Mori•✟☠️✟

I like this! For now, it’s something new&refreshing. Will change review to reflect my thoughts/criticisms after about a week or so of playing! Thanks for the content though, devs!

by OMGITSAPERSONWITHAPISSKINK

It’s so nice I love how it’s format is

by Reugine

I went into this game not really knowing what to expect but this game is genuinely good. I gotta say though the gameplay is really not that great and repetitive as well as being a Gacha but what makes the game so good is the storyline itself. I find myself just reading the story for hours and you do have to beat like levels to unlock the story but doing one game level unlocks like 10+ chapters which makes the game so worth it. Its not like a lot of games that take away from the storyline like obey me where you constantly have to play the game in between chapters to unlock the story to the point where you forget the plot. The story makes the game so likable and the characters so likeable which makes the game hard to put down. If your intrested in story/reading games get this because there’s so much depth into the stories. The stories build on each other as well as getting to know the characters and their backstory. I saw a lot of people hating on the game due to there being lack of game depth which I agree but I feel like the story really makes up for it if that’s something you enjoy.

Right off the bat, the voice actors in this game are phenomenal! I really enjoy the comic cutscenes and art style of this game. The only con is wow.. the gacha prices are crazy expensive.. BUT! they’re also quite generous with crystals for rolling (and it’s nothing new for games like this) and the storyline is a 10/10! Lots of content and characters for you to enjoy.

by Demon Nezuko

I think this was a really fun game and it was worth the wait for it to come out I have been playing this game for a little while and I think it is one of the best games I have ever played it was fun and it literally had everything I like in the game

by AcejonesXl

This has three things I generally enjoy playing! A story game, and music type mini game and building up the campus type game where you build more sections and level them up. I know there’s more but man do I love it!!! It’s a great game so far and the art is right up my alley XD can’t wait to play more of it!

by Lamalemons22

Honestly this game is really nice and simple. The offline grinding is vastly appreciated and although a lot of the beginning of the game is… Reading :/ after it’s all really fun and cute. Would recommend the art is really nice as well and the voice acting is really good!
