The Seven Deadly Sins Reviews

by LenScape2!

If I could give this game a -5 I would. It’s the same issue with this developers. Banners are still dropping one after another with no time in between for the free to play, player base to gather enough gems. The drop rates are toooo low, you have to atleast do a full rotation to get the main banner unit, if it’s multiple units well just add a rotation for each unit pretty much. The filler units aren’t meta or even close to meta units, and more often then not you’ll mostly likely be getting a filler unit even though the main unit has “a rate up”. Getting gems, the only way really to get gems constantly is through pvp, and for that you need atleast a 4/6 unit, a meta unit with most custom set maxed. If you don’t have a good meta unit with all said requirements, and I say requirements because that’s what they are. You can’t win enough battles to be at the top where you get the most amount of gems. PVE doesn’t reward you with gems unless it’s a tower of trails with JP has had multiple of, but global for some reason can’t even get half of that. But wait they can catch up so that banners drop at the same time. I’m probably going to quit, because I have dropped money on the game and the rewards haven’t been worth even a 10% of what I’ve spent. Most likely nothing will be done to fix any of said issues, so my tip for new players save your gems spend them on banners that are worth the grind

I really hoped I could change my review from a 1 star to a 5 star. I love The Seven Deadly Sins. Upon launch, the game was really good for awhile, but then they just started rushing banner after banner after banner. The devs have been far more focused on releasing new units than making actual quality of life improvements to the game. On the Re:Zero banner for example, the only units worth getting were the collaboration exclusives. All of the other units were almost a year old and almost completely useless. The drop rates of new units are horrendous, but that’s at least to be expected. The PVP rewards haven’t changed since release. There’s hardly any new PVP or PVE content. Netmarble hasn’t released any new R or SR heroes in almost 6 months. It’s just SSR heroes, most of which aren’t even that good unless you can get 3 or 4 dupes in them. The devs SAY they listen to the players, but whenever we complain about something, like rushing the banners, the devs just throw gems at the players to appease them. They don’t actually improve the game. The game has become stale, and it’s just a blatant money grab at this point. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still going to play, but it’ll pretty much be to just check in and get gems until Netmarble can actually make the game enjoyable again, or until they release a full wings King, whichever comes first. I really don’t want to see this game die, but I honestly think that it will.

The first time I ever heard about this game I was excited, and I got even more excited when I heard it was going to become Global, I love the franchise, the characters, the story, etc. The day when it finally became Global I was excited, I thought the gameplay was good, the animation(s), the music, everything. I thought that nothing could ever make this game horrible, but boy, I was so wrong. As most people know, this is a gacha game, you already know how they work, and might already know about their reputation, but the way they (Global) do it, it's just disgusting. Every single week there would be new characters left and right, giving little time for people to prepare for them. Now, that isn't much of a problem for people who spend money on the game, but for people who are F2P (Free 2 Play), which means they don't spend money. This completely ruins the experience for those players, it completely negates their chances of having fun in the game when they are being absolutely destroyed in unbeatable missions and by people who spend almost there entire life savings into this game. Do not get this game if you can't handle the incredible amount toxicity it holds. The Global maintenance of this game is god awful, they are practically pure definition of greed. Don't get me wrong, they do "apologize" , but they'll go right back to square one. Just please don't give them your money.

So there’s a lot to fix with this game delivery is good but the playing is choppy it constantly crashes without using any multiplayer function, the boss/final battles the enemy has wayyyy too many buffs, they hit very hard for attack that are only made to give out a effect, like how can I just start and it’s their turn and on their first turn I get wiped out and lose like how is that fun gameplay(and keep in mind I have all lvl 60 characters with them decked out and up to 3 stars so how is this still not fair) lot of health and for some odd reason they can gain way more health than the damage you dealt(not even including after he heals his attack gives a ton of health as well) like you have to pray on chance and luck to even get your enemies health down to half. And to top it all off whenever I go to use diamonds or gold it keeps on taking those diamonds and gold but not giving my items back not the money it’s just gone and all that grinding I just did to get the materials were for nothing, don’t get me wrong game looks good and plays well for a turn style based game(though it need to be a bit more organized because everything looks like It was crammed in there with all the events and quest)but the actual functionality of the games needs to be tweaked a lot AND I want the diamonds and gold I literally ran around for scrapping up

First off I love Seven Deadly Sins! Read the manga and watched the anime, even made a JP iTunes account so I could play it before it came to global. Now I understand it is trying to follow the anime story for the most part and I appreciate it to some extent but that’s also the reason for 3 stars. I am not big on pvp in mobile games if I want to pvp I get on one of my consoles, I play mobile games for the campaign and gacha content. Which brings me to 7DS I am tired of being stuck in the story until I level up certain characters to progress, it’s fine if you need one specific character for something you borrow it from a friend and keep playing. However, when you need 2 and both are not characters you use it puts a real damper on the game! I level up and play with characters I like and want to play with that’s a big part of why I play mobile games based on anime or manga, but in 7DS there is too much emphasis on playing parts of the story with specific units and because of that and the fun it takes away from my experience I have to give it just 3 stars. If I was able to use who I want or at least only have one required character at most then 5 stars easy! But for someone who doesn’t pvp and plus casually the amount of time it’s going to take to level up 2 separate characters to advance the Ban event to advance the chapter is extremely demotivating, and only makes me play less.

Like so many games of this type, this one starts out ridiculously complicated and only becomes more so with each successive update. There are about 30 different areas of the game in each of which you can do many different things, which is great for ensuring that you won’t get bored or run out of things to do, but it’s terrible if you’re trying to remember which objectives you were hoping to achieve or even where in the infinitely convoluted UI you found them. The story and the characters are as well thought-out as everyone says, and mostly charming (though I don’t appreciate the disrespect with which Meliodas views Hawk, and pigs in general, any more than Hawk does) and there are quite a few remarkably powerful (and sexy!) female characters in the game...but there’s just way too much going on here for me to keep playing. You know something’s wrong when you almost can’t see the screen where the action takes place because there are 20 buttons covering it, all touting sales and events and a million other tangents you can go off on without ever even engaging in the main storyline. I launch TheSevenDeadlySins , dismiss the myriad pop-ups trying to get me to engage these sales and events and what not, and look at that main screen with all the buttons and crap all over it and my head just spins. I have no idea what to do – there are way, way too many options. The older I get, the more I appreciate simplicity, and that is one thing you will not find in this game.

How can I put this... oh I know bust out your wallets or you're not winning. Simple enough don’t ya think. There’s no variety anymore with teams. You have to buy variety, what I mean by that is if you want to try different characters that are off-meta, and wanna win with those teams you better believe that your gonna have to grab your credit card and grab each costume and max out their ultimate moves. Even then you have to be lucky with RNG and the “combat class” because if you don’t go first you’re at a severe disadvantage. You got a team out there that If you attack any unit your buffing up assault Meliodas. And then you got the “one” Escanor who’s just gonna one-shot your unit along with goddess Elizabeth who is by far the most annoying unit ever. She stuns you, revives a dead ally, and shields up. The game is at its darkest hour right now. With no variety, no fun, sweatfest players who spend every dollar peso yen or whatever on each banner and costume. Free to play is just get lucky that you’ll pull multiple copies of the one unit that just dominates in every category. Netmarble please separate the free-to-play players and the whales away from each other. A complete disaster. I’ll keep playing for some ungodly reason, maybe I secretly love the pain of getting smashed in PVP.

by Probablynotjosh

Game is great I love it. But let’s be real they recently scammed us with the gold dungeon and pretended it wasn’t a thing. They say”hey you CAN be free to play” yeah, but trust me they want to sneak that “buy this though” they throw you tons of gems during events but the amount of banners they pop up with you barely have enough to roll for them the rates are terrible so everyone gets pressured into getting the character they want and don’t even get me started oh 6/6ing them because all the characters they release has an op skill IF you get dupes which is near impossible unless you have a ton of gems saved or has bought. Free to play are limited so hard that once you do everything to farm whatever gems you can get to just keep up with current players which are mostly p2p they give you around 4 5 gems a day without adds 3 more gems if you’re mad lucky roll a wheel. Events are the same as everytime nothing new coin shop is trash with a ton of new characters but old one that will literally never be used most of the time cause they bring out characters that can one shot people. You won’t get character you want unless you spend a ton of money or if you save and not even play the game while racking gems

Stop being cheap, raise rates so people can actually enjoy the game stop being greedy and make it fun for people and not some stress war to eat all our money. You’ll be waste a looooooot of time just logging in doing daily for gems and bounces right off

Be better

In the game of 7DS the banners and rates are not good for free to free players and getting gems is a pain considering you would have to miss out on two banners to try and get one good character. This is very annoying and time consuming, if they were to make it easier to get gyms for the free to free player’s then we could catch up to the people who have the money and time to play this game 24/7. Other than that the PVP aspect of the game is amazing and you would need to think out side of the box and this is what every game needs however if there where to be matches designed for your play style then this would me even more difficult and challenge you to use different characters than you normally would. As for the farming for resources to upgrade your characters goes well it can get annoying if you don’t know what your doing but it will take some patience never the less.

This game is so amazing and I wish I could play it to it’s fullest but what all is stopping me is how many gyms you need for everything so if there where some much easier ways to get gyms it will make the make more fun to play just as well as PVP.

by UNH4CK3D

I love this game and the story is amazingly accurate and well designed I like that every character has a use in the story as well and the developers seem to be constantly working through issues and bugs to keep the game running smooth and thanks to the many updates over time and the crossovers I have acquired many characters I enjoy playing and can use them in pve/pvp.

The story mode as I said is well designed but I hate one thing more than anything and its the most infuriating thing this game has and its the mechanic where every single boss has life-steal and goes back to full HP after one turn its bad enough when your forced to use a character you haven't upgraded but a boss that can regenerate back to full HP after one turn is insanely overpowered and it ruins the game when a enemy who should be dead already keeps hitting you once and getting like 75% of their overall HP back.

One more thing the drop rates are terrible I have been playing this game for almost two years now and I haven’t once got red dairiari after summoning over and over on the Pt 2 banner like I understand the developers need money to develop but after saving up 30 diamonds and getting nothing but SR and R characters it makes me lose interest in the game and delete it and then come back when reset happens because I feel like I’m grinding for absolutely nothing.

by Supernunja03

I absolutely fell in love with this game when I first got it! I played it for hours and got super far and I felt like I was at the near peak of the game for a while, until I switched phones and lost my data. I felt absolutely crushed. I lost the hero I loved most Berserk Meliodas and that banner was still up when I lost all my progress. I reinstalled and haven’t even spent a week on it for when I got Berserk Meliodas back as a regular SR for a different banner. Although I am super relieved and my passion for this game has sparked up again, that’s when I realized a problem I didn’t before… the rare collabs and banners are great, but when a new comer can’t have anything that was offered before, it makes PVP, one of the most important diamond grinding areas, really hard because they have powerful hero’s from previous banners that us new players don’t have access to. So I’m thinking that maybe banner hero’s that are actually from the 7DS should be put into a banner that is always open, especially so that players don’t have to feel pressured to spend diamonds on a banner and then have that hero just be a regular SR for a different banner. Thank you

Seven Deadly Sins Grand Cross is an amazing turn-based game originated from the anime Seven Deadly Sins. The main story is a practical review of the actual anime(minus the movies). The characters in the game are all quite balanced and are acquired from a gacha mechanic within the game. All balanced except for one, Lostvayne Meliodas. So far, I have never been aware of patch notes informing of nerfs or buffs on the characters. This version of Meliodas was an anniversary limited character and only becomes available for a few weeks before you need to wait another year for the event to return. My only problem is the PvP mode is extremely unbalanced and completely unfair if you do not possess this character. His unique ability has about every other previously considered strong character completely crushed and his Lifesteal is extremely high for a pure strength hero. Every other hero has at least one weakness. For example, some heroes take a couple of turns to become extremely powerful, and some characters are the opposite and have a few turns of practical invincibility in the start. I can only hope that a miracle happens and this unfair character gets nerfed at least a little bit.

I’ve tried many gacha games, many rpg’s, many open world games. However, this game takes the cake with not just being one specific game category. It’s all the apps I’ve played and more. The developers made a super game with a million different features, but for some reason, it all feels natural, not out of place. It isn’t overwhelming like some rpg gacha games are. And as intricate as this game is, it’s surprisingly simple to understand, topped off with outstanding game mechanics and animation. Playing this game allows the player to feel like they’re actually in Liones, fighting Hendrickson, or in the Tavern, cooking a meal for the whole gang. If this wasn’t enough, they allow multiplay, and customization with ALL playable characters. This isn’t new for a mobile game, but what makes it so spectacular is the detail and animation everything has. This game is fun everywhere you turn, and just when you think that there’s nothing else to the game, you find something else hidden behind a corner. Everything is fun. To the battles, to cooking, to drawing characters. Even the loading screens are fun. There’s almost always a new one, different, exciting loading screen. I don’t usually write reviews for a game, but I had to for this one. It’s just too great. I’m so excited for the future of this game! To anyone reading this, play the game! You won’t regret it!

I really do enjoy this game, for the most part. What I mean is, the gameplay and mechanics of the game are super duper awesome, however I have an IPhone 6 and the game crashes constantly. I got through the tutorial, after about an hour of rebooting and watching it crash multiple times.
I am now in the town, Venya or vanya, and the game crashes when it goes to the cutscene and this highly bothers me, I don’t mind the game crashing while in combat because you can just relog-in and pick up where it crashed, however when it comes to huge cutscenes (and yes, I have the quality on the lowest of lows, and have the skip animation on in setting) the game will crash. Which now I can not get past mission 5 because of this crash due to the cutscene.
I still enjoy the game even though I can’t fully experience it. That is why I gave it five stars because I believe it really is a freaking amazing game, even if the problem is with my phone but they shouldn’t say that the game is compatible with my phone when it crashes at certain scenes.
Please developers, please fix this for the IPhone 6! I’m begging you. :(
I still fully support this game

by Luke Dutra

Been playing this game for about a year (since the AOT collab), and to be honest, I wasn’t a huge fan of the 7DS series, but this game is top tier. The characters and the story and everything about it is so much better than every other game that does it in my opinion. I even rewatched the anime and am up to date with the manga just so I don’t miss anything in the game. I love the battling, and the grinding isn’t super strenuous. This game is probably the highlight of my day most days and I always get excited when I see an update or something. The characters are amazing and I absolutely love messing with different team compositions and grinding to get a new character I think is cool. I’m not super big on getting the biggest and baddest and strongest team comp for PVP and such either and even still, I was able to, without too much heartache, make it pretty far in PVP by just picking characters that I think are cool and work well together. I say all this to say if you are on the fence about this game, get it! I promise it’ll be worth the 0$ you have to pay to click install.

EDIT: after the developer notes, I am much more satisfied about the banner releases being adjusted so players can realistically actually save their gems for essential banners.

I seldom write bad reviews for apps. I have financially supported this game before in the hopes that netmarble will implement features that players will actually benefit from. I have stopped supporting this game because it’s clear that this company does not care about its players. Banners are released way too quickly. A majority of the players who cannot afford to keep buying gems have missed out on a lot of essential units. It was already pretty bad when the Goddess Elizabeth and Lostvayne Meliodas banner was released right after the King of Fighters Collaboration. It’s very clear that Global version of this game is just a cash cow for netmarble. This game isn’t sustainable for its players anymore. Even after all the complaints and a response from netmarble itself, things have remained the same. Not only is this company milking us dry, but they are liars as well.

The nail in the coffin is the rapid release of the Assault Meliodas banner. You have killed a game that was once fun. Good job, Netmarble. You will not be getting another cent from me. Unless these issues are addressed, expect a huge drop in your player base. With games like Genshin Impact coming out, it’s no wonder that this game is losing players daily.

If your a fan of the series then you’ll love the game and if you have never heard of the series you will still love the game it is well thought out and has plenty of events with free items plus a myriad of characters each with their individual uses. It is honestly one of the best mobile games I’ve played where I have not felt like I’ve had to invest a single penny to progress and with their true to story feel and customization of your tavern (your base of operations) it even has things for the players that are interested in more than just great gameplay it really is a very well thought out game and I just want to say the people that complain it’s too complicated just aren’t willing to take the little bit of time and learn it piece by piece because unlike a lot of games you don’t feel rushed by a ranking system to play none stop right from the start nore have to spend money to keep up if you don’t but I just want to say I recommend this game to any and all players of rpg team style turn based games btw I never write reviews but after reading a few nonsense negative reviews of this game I felt I needed to if nothing else as payment for over a year of gameplay without spending a dime thank you dev team

by Employee Of Da App

This is the absolute top notch best game ever and to all people that say it’s a bad game because it’s going to fast I would say chill out the game is just trying to make it the best experience for you and if you don’t want to pay then don’t pay just save gems because unless they are an collab character they will come back in a different banner and for everybody who needs it I wish you the best of luck honestly with the archangels and assault meli and the one when he comes but this is quite the unique and amazing fun game and if you see this please wish me the best of luck I am really trying to get sariel so I will give you luck in exchange for my luck I even hope you #boycottassaultmeli ppl get lucky but that does not change that there is not a single game better than this and if you disagree then that’s your own opinion but this is my favorite game of my life and if netmarble producers see this than thank you for the greatest game ever and please wish for me to get sariel because it will be hard and I’m only 300 gems in but wish me luck and to everyone else who plays good luck on the banners and to ppl who dislike the game I don’t even think you guys have seen the anime and if you love this game but haven’t seen the anime don’t take that as an insult but this game is amazing best game of all time

by Smallcocker

this game maintains the community behind it and continues to show it listens to its community even if it is at the cost of profit. Sure, there were decisions that were made deemed bad by the community, but the team behind it made changes that better suit the needs of the players. A lot of the community complains about the summoning rates, but if every player had access to the units that persist to come out without having to spend money, that’s a loss for the company due to the lack of need to buy the diamonds and packs, and they even give guarantees for each festival banner to have a chance at getting the featured units even if the players aren’t able to play it. That being said, i think there are definitely features that should be added to get diamonds perhaps weekly or even monthly to make diamonds more easily obtained for those of us that’ve already completed most of the in game tasks other than the pvp rewards or those of us that are struggling to complete some of the harder tasks. As a whole, this game is a top tier game and i’m glad to be a part of the community in which the devs listen to oh so well. thank you for the going on 2 years of fun! looking forward to what comes ahead.

by Yes7457844

Edit: I just saw patch note for the 2/9 update and thank you for listening to the community and bringing out more content and gem events imma give y’all the 5 stars y’all deserve it with all the changes that y’all have made and it also shows that y’all listen to the community so again thank you.

Banners are coming out way too fast also the banners are becoming bad like for archangels why y’all have to take ludo, escanor and blue demon meli out like come on start thinking about the players and the F2P players too they gotta have time to farm Dimonds so please do something to fix it because if you don’t then y’all are gonna be having less and less players and like I said at the start don’t bring the banners out too fast and even less back to back #BoycotAssaultMeli2021. Edit:ok the people from netmarble did good with the banner and assault meli but there’s another problem the content where are the final bosses list one was king and gowther like yes thank you for bringing them back I didn’t get their outfits the first time but what about final boss ban escanor Gil and others ( im not sure if any others have been done so I just wrote the ones I know have happened on jp) also the tower of trials y’all have left us out on a lot of gem events so please just give us more gem events

by Leftynoogen

Everything is so refined and well thought out in this game from almost every character having a use to actually being satisfied when you don't pull the mon your going for Because you got 10 other SSR and platinum coins to buy a new mon that can progress your box even further from the coin shop. The ability to interexchange gear and remove gear for FREE. Events where it's half stamina and being able to buy stamina for a single silver coin keeps you drilled well into the game all day up until the time your phone dies or you go to sleep. How cheap multi summons are and how you can get free multis in game by playing pvp every week There's so much this game does right and I can think of nothing it does wrong at the moment except being able to get more ssr pendants but I know that will come soon. There is to much to go over in this review but when you see ads about raid shadow legends being the "rpg that will change everything" or "play for free now" don't listen to that marketing bs I've been on raid for almost a year now and I've spent 5x the money I have in that game then 7DS but my progress is way less in that game then that. Trust me even if your not into the anime you will love this gacha. Every other one out there needs to take notes this is how you create customer retention.
