★★★★ "So much wasted potential…. Season of Wishes broke all of the systems, and not in a good way. Whatever progress you made was pretty much wiped out. I guess if you love sweaty games, then have at it. But in my opinion, it’s not worth doing everything again." - Pakk1969

Season of Wishes broke all of the systems, and not in a good way. Whatever progress you made was pretty much wiped out. I guess if you love sweaty games, then have at it. But in my opinion, it’s not worth doing everything again.

Terrible

It’s fun to a point
I played for a while, made it to a mission called mine rescue. Then the screen is just white. That’s it. Enemies could still shoot me, I just could see anything. Super lame
★★★★ TheWebb414 3/29/2026 v1.0.12
Destroyed their own game
So season 4 has just begin and NetEase has decided to remove almost EVERYTHING that all of the players have worked for since launch day. No more power rankings, artifacts are no longer account based are are now single character only, all the high end content has been removed and replaced with the most tedious grinding I have ever seen, and best of all even the whales have had their “ranking” removed and replaced with a pointless “season level”…..way to ruin your own game guys. You won’t be getting anymore money from me.
★★★★ ganjabanjaninja 3/28/2026 v1.0.12
Sucky jumps
This game sucks and is frustration with the jumps. Only character that jumps right is wolf . Which kinda makes you not want to play honestly I’m writing a review so they can fix it’s a big deal especially when you have to swap characters during story. I would give it a good review based on graphics but gameplay is trash and that just being honest . Need to fix the jumps then maybe game would be better.
★★★★ ST11 3/28/2026 v1.0.12
Was fun
I was loving this game (except how you;re forced to use specific weapons with characters and specific characters for missions). Now they’ve taken a bad page from Destiny 2 devs. Logging in for the new season, I’m having to redo things I’ve already done. That shouldn’t be happening. All my characters are lower level than they were just days ago. Huge mistake on the devs part. That’s a big portion of why people became tired of Destiny 2; we were constantly losing power, weapons, etc., just to make people grind. It felt like a job instead of a hobby. Big mistake on the devs of Rising;s part.

#RestoreRiseToWar
The company making this game, NetEase, has just shut down its game Lord of the Rings: Rise to War without any warning and just drained their players to get money.
Initially, this game will seem good, but it will gradually become pay to win and NetEase will cancel the game without caring for their players; do not play any game made by this company
NetEase: say hello to our movement to restore Rise to War. We will make you pay for your betrayal.
★★★★ Not worth it. Waste of time 2/25/2026 v1.0.11
Impossible to tier up
They make it impossible to tier up without paying for upgrades. It’s ridiculous that you have to spend actual money to get anything good. I’ve been trying to tier up to level 15 for over a month. They make the requirements ridiculously impossible with standard gear. Good weapons have to be bought with actual money, making it unfair for those who can’t afford to buy premium products.

Destiny OG
I have played destiny from beginning to now. I’m now a father with limited time to play so the mobile version is what I prefer. However there’s zero updates for actually multplayer pvp. I’ve stopped playing until significant update comes into play. If no improvement comes there, then it’s just a gacha game…..

Hate this game
I waited for a new character been playing since the launch of the game and you give us ikora I hate her with a passion her weapons suck she sucks it’s not a fun character to play do better destiny I would give it 0 stars but it won’t let me
★★★★ Winklemoose 1/30/2026 v1.0.11
Zero no content added
There are so many things I can say. But first and foremost the game is great the first 3-4 months and then has really gone down hill. You can only play two different characters in every activity to be competitive and they aren’t available to buy anymore. To fully level a character you have to pay $100 to for sure get a copy and you need 6. I’m not paying $600 every month to full maximize a character to only use them on the same strike for calamity ops, grandmaster and the cordon game modes. Probably the last netease game I’ll ever play. You guys don’t realize how much money you are missing out on by not tweaking the costs of silver and not rotating around different characters. I have ideas for days but I doubt you’ll ever want to hear about them. This game has so much potential and you guys are wasting it away.

Discriminating
Developers won’t stop harassing me. Get fired.
★★★★ Dextrus 101 1/6/2026 v1.0.10
The game is good
The game is good, but you don’t really need to have perfect character 76k ,raids is the best content in destiny and your character gets nerf so you don’t need to spend money in the game. You don’t need to have full abilities you don’t need to have fully upgraded weapons. You only need the character and that’s disappointing because in the two day gaps that you have to do the raid it like insane you want your character at fullest why nerf it and another thing people need to eat people need to work People need to take care of the families.
Let’s do the math
2 days =48hr -16hr sleep -16hr of work you only gets 16hr gap
I could not get the raid done because of that time gap it’s really annoying, and I got disappointed in the game because of that I think of quitting the game
★★★★ BhodiStar 1/4/2026 v1.0.10
No more Gwynn
I just started playing yesterday & found out that it’s impossible to get any of the characters I want even if I am willing to pay there’s no way to get them so lame

Bad game

★★★★ mouces 12/31/2025 v1.0.10
Greed
First of all from a gameplay perspective this game is amazing 10/10. BUT the GREED, communication, and decisions NetEase has made has cratered the player base in less than 6 months this game is a shell of what it was in the first two months. It’s a gatcha and they lean HARD into that. The entire game power creeps every months like I’ve never seen before. They constantly release global events in th middle of the night or early morning when most of the server has already logged off and gone to bed. I hope they can save this game because aside from what I’ve mentioned. It really feels like destiny.

Story locked from failed tutorials tryouts
Couldn’t advance to storyline without finishing complicated tutorials, I even had to look at how it’s done, keeps failing and I really want to finish the fascinating storyline without getting locked to tutorials. It disappointed me a lot.
★★★★ Joseulise 12/27/2025 v1.0.9
Cash Grab, Then Abandon you
NetEase took my money for monthly passes paid in advance and then abandoned the game. No updates, no communication, no refunds. Their games had potential, but the developers clearly walked away after cashing in.
This feels like a straight-up cash grab. Do not spend money on NetEase!!

Deleting game
Upon the release of the latest update they single-handedly nuked the leaderboards and competitiveness of shifting gates. You now face 5 bot teams. The top 50 players, specifically top 10 are all quitting after this update and lack of release for pvp players (trials). They do not care about the PvP community
★★★★ Twotail 12/19/2025 v1.0.9

Let us edit wolf
Seriously it’s so stupid to not let us change their appearance whenever we want when they are our custom character. I’m going back to Warframe.
★★★★ alexplaysgibsons 11/30/2025 v1.0.8
Perfect but one insane flaw
The gacha system is garbage it honestly has no place in gaming in the west. The insane amount t of monetizing in this game completely ruins the experience of this game. 1 star until game has no gacha and no more cumulative power. If I don’t like a character I should not be forced to invest in it.
★★★★ Datajuice 11/28/2025 v1.0.8
DEAD P2W game
3 months in, besides capt America, characters are trash and locked behind specific weapons, no new map content or game modes, no events, no QOL, mobile controls are trash, endgame replayability has trash rewards, so much solo play for a TEAM based game, pvp is a joke on mobile, reduction on farming resources and event exclusive cosmetics are locked behind leaderboards and speedrunning content…yawn, and is very much a P2W game based on shop offers and events the devs readily weekly.
★★★★★ Yattway 3/20/2026 v1.0.11
Downright lazy
Uses poor AI voice acting and animations are eyesores. Doesn’t hold a candle to the quality of the original games, in quality or gameplay.
★★★★★ Tess❄️ 2/7/2026 v1.0.11
Please Add 90-120 FPS for iPhone 16 Pro
Please Add 90-120 FPS for iPhone 16 Pro and 90FPS for iPhone 15 Pro it’s a fantastic game but devs kindly do this. Love your game.
★★★★★ Skralkefor 1/31/2026 v1.0.11
Seems generic
Story feels like any other story, nothing special. Combat might be fun but auto-aim so… not very challenging. Feels like this is geared toward 10 and under audience.
★★★★★ VibranceAudio 1/21/2026 v1.0.10
3rd person mid tier game
This is not the destiny game you are looking for, it’s not the original, it’s not destiny 2. Even with a controller connected it does not play or feel like a destiny franchise. It works on a phone, it’s a game on a phone, but I just have standards of when something is released and promoted to be one thing and it’s just not what you would expect. I wish this dev luck in their upcoming releases, but this one is not the game for me.
Honestly the team should have just ported all the game assets from Destiny 1 into an engine and resized the resolution to fit the iPhone resolution, do some ui tweaks and make the iPhone run a server for friends to connect to or have it connect to a main server for the devs to operate. However this game is not that. I’m glad it was free because there is no way I would pay for something like this.
