Tressa Rework
Of course they needed to completely gut the one free character everyone gets at the start for no reason. Devs really needed to be this greedy.
Day 1 launch to my account gone
Wtf happened, I played since day 1 launch and got every character and beat all of the story lines and then I went to log into the game this morning and it reset my account. I’m genuinely very upset I spent a lot of hours perfecting my character and cards. Please restore my account. I tried contacting support and sent screenshots but they said my account is gone. My iPhone never asked me to create or sign into an account so the entire time I played is just gone. I had everything what the heck. So unfair
A mess
I actually enjoy playing Chaos Zero Nightmare, but the developers are seriously a mess. Every single update feels like a gamble. Maintenance is constantly delayed, patch after patch, and it’s getting frustrating.
The latest maintenance was supposed to be 5 hours… and somehow turned into over 10+ hours after multiple delays. Like, how does that even happen? At that point just be honest about the timeline instead of stringing players along.
What makes it worse is the lack of compensation. If you’re going to waste players’ time and keep pushing the schedule back, the least you can do is acknowledge it properly. But nope-nothing.
The game itself has a lot of potential, but the way it’s being managed is honestly disappointing. It feels unprofessional and makes it hard to stay invested.

Fun game needs more variety
Please add more male 5* characters!
Stingy with pulls
As the life of the game continues they’ve gotten stingier with pulls as time progresses
Keep restarting when minimize app
I always have to start over when I minimize the game for another app then come back. Can it keep what I am doing there so I don’t have to waste time playing.
Latest update crashes game constantly.
I’m on an iPhone 16 pro max and since latest update it’s unplayable as the game crashes while playing.
Meh
Maintenance message needs to be more clear that if you are in the middle of a chaos run you will lose all progress. Twice now it’s happened, and I haven’t a dammed clue why until I googled it
Cant even login to the game lol
This games pushes you into downloading 3rdparty apps to track you (stove) for “security measures” its so secure that you get so many errors just to tell you cant boot up the game. Great work guys, your game its so safe because you prevent people from playing it. Cant experience danger if you dont play it lol
Crashes too much
Honestly, there are multiple problems with this. I don’t like that I can’t even attempt auto-battling in Chaos, for example… and not quite everything is easy to find/understand, such as team formations. I’ve only found that in the mode that requires 2 teams, so I haven’t saved many formations.
However, the biggest problem by far is: This crashes pretty much every time I try to do anything. Most battles can be resumed and then finished, but it’s annoying loading in, crashing, and loading back in just to beat a battle… and since you can’t fully skip entire stories, longer ones like Chapter 1-4 in Seed Of Karmic Fire or Haru’s Trauma Code Chapter 5 are just impossible to progress past for me.
I looked to see if I could play it on my laptop through Google Play Games, but nope. So I’m stuck with my 7th Gen iPod Touch, on iOS 15.7 or something, and it just isn’t really functional despite saying I only need iOS 13.0 or above. Honestly, I’m not sure you can make it functional for me… so just change it to saying you need iOS 16.0 or above. It probably works on newer devices. I should upgrade soon. Honestly, I was surprised this even downloaded and launched. The last Overlord game didn’t even load in. I’ve actually been able to make some progress in this (5 level 50 Combatants now, I think), but no sane person would consider this playable. It crashes way too much. At least, on my old device.
I really do think it’s a problem that won’t affect 99% of people, and won’t affect anyone if you change the iOS requirements to 16.0 or above. But I’m basing this on it SAYING it works on my device, and it really doesn’t.
From what I’ve seen, though, I think this mainly needs QOL stuff for everyone else. Plenty of potential. But I’m going by my experience, not the potential.

Tressa
Nerfed the only character that uses DoT straight through ground. I guess she was too fun and enjoyable. Good job invalidating a common card battle strategy.
Can’t log in.
I get the permanent white box when I try to log in.
垃圾
必定卡死在2-1的挑战关卡
Waste of time
I could deal with slow qol updates but Starting to Nerf characters and now censoring art l2d as well . Don’t waste ur time or money. . Just go buy a full game for best experience . Smile gate is just ea Korea or ea Ubisoft
Fun but being censored
Fun game but being actively being censored, making it less fun.
Terrible Story and now Nerfs.
They wrote such a terrible story the devs had to cry on a stream and pull the story out. Now since they can’t balance the game they are nerfing characters. Don’t support this game it is a giant waste of time.
Infinite Patching
Game won’t go past the initial Home Screen and just says “patching” in the top left corner but nothing happens
More men
Add more men. I'm tired of the no 5 star men.
only for virgos
was fun at the beginning, now is just another gacha with lolis and digital tts for weirdos
Waiting for improvements.
I’ve tried coming back to this game a few times now and just can’t get into it.
The story is all over the place. Parts are really cool while others feel like a machine wrote it. Character design and personality are top notch. They really did a good job with the design and art style. But the side stories and “romance” options are boring and honestly unnecessary. You don’t really learn anything more about the character aside one or two that give a hint of a crumb.
This game needs QoL everywhere. The gameplay loop takes up so much time as well as progression loops taking even longer.
I also think the actual rouge-like aspects could use a lot of work. After building a deck, which takes forever, you would expect more randomness in the zones or powers, but everything turns into “do you want the stat stick or money?” It’s just not the fun for the time spent on it.
