Inaccurate Total Space
The updates ( 75 GB) were more than the game itself (53 GB). My Xbox controller - which works seamlessly across stream was unrecognized. It is the newest version.
Cant play on ipad
The game crashes so much i cant play anymore, mostly during quests i cant get past certain spots it always crashes at the same place, like something is horribly wrong with the code and they never fixed it, im deleting this game
Not working
The new update has made the game worse the update wouldn’t let you quit any challenges or just wouldn’t let you do anything then the event story which is really annoying because I also want to explore it’s not letting me choose it’s only doing what the event is about not letting me quit any of it t all keep putting me in the same challenge or event over and over
Lazy
These developers have been getting lazy / greedy with their events & updates . the favoritism for certain characters is very real !
Rerans
Everything is fine, I would say. But many people, including me, are waiting for reruns of the characters from Huanglong and the Black Shores. I DEMAND CAMELLYA'S RE-RUN. I apologize for my outburst, but I'm waiting for her latest banner, which I missed (I arrived in the last 3 days). I didn't have enough time to unlock her weapons and S2. I apologize again. I hope you understand. Напишу ещё на русском. Обратите пожалуйста внимание, я уже долго ждал и не могу больше 😔. А в общем, игра крутая, спасибо вам
crashing/graphic problems
my 9th gen ipad kept crashing i dont recommend unless you have a good device
My honest review
I really wanted to like Wuthering Waves, but honestly it just ended up being a frustrating experience more than anything.
The game looks good at first glance, but that doesn’t carry it very far. The story feels all over the place, like it’s trying way too hard to be deep without actually making you care about anything that’s happening. Characters show up, dump a bunch of dialogue, and you’re just left wondering why it matters. It’s hard to stay invested when nothing really sticks.
Combat is supposed to be one of the strong points, but it gets repetitive fast. It feels flashy, sure, but there’s not much depth once you’ve been playing for a bit. You end up doing the same rotations over and over, and it loses that “wow” factor pretty quickly.
Performance is another issue. For a game that’s supposed to be this polished, open-world experience, it struggles way more than it should. Frame drops, stutters, and random bugs just take you out of the moment. It’s hard to enjoy exploring when the game can’t stay stable.
And don’t even get me started on the grind. Progression feels unnecessarily slow, like it’s trying to push you into spending money or just sinking hours into repetitive tasks. It stops feeling fun and starts feeling like a chore.
Overall, Wuthering Waves feels like a game with a lot of potential that just wasn’t fully realized. It tries to do a lot but doesn’t really excel at any of it, and after a while, there’s just not much reason to keep coming back.
P.s. their 2nd anniversary was Terrible in my opinion

Bad optimisation
The game just keep crashing. I just want to complete the main quest to get to the new area and always crashing on me
bad
it is bad bc is bad idk lol
CANT PLAY!
I love this game so much. I’ve played a lot of games like wuwa and I find myself always coming back to this game. But I’m a mobile player. Before I even DOWNLOAD the resources, it takes up 55GB. 55!!! I’ve had to uninstall everything off my phone just for it to say I still have no room. Seriously. We need kuro to optimize better. This is a massive issue for everyone who doesn’t play on PC.
It was fun, not anymore
I had a lot of fun with this game last year, but this year I got so tired of it
Way too big
80gigs of space for a mobile game is insane
used to be good
the game is turning to what we didn't want it from every aspect it used to be so much better it's really sad to see
Wuthering Waves - duel against Atomic Samurai is painfully slow with no guide. One hour wasted. I’m
The duel pace in Wuthering Waves is way too slow. I’ve been stuck on Atomic Samurai for ages - there’s no guide or hint in the game. I spent a whole hour on just one fight and got nowhere. It felt like a huge waste of time. I’m dropping games that demand this much time with so little progress. Please speed up the pacing and add proper guidance. I actually spent three hours on that fight, not just one. It made the experience even worse. I'm also encountering mouse rendering failures in Wuthering Waves
great concepts, sloppy development
i have been playing this game since launch. this game has many things going for it in the gacha sphere, and ive invested much time and a little money into this game. unfortunately, there have been numerous gameplay issues that have gone completely neglected since the 1.x days. it seems too little developer attention is put into functioning gameplay mechanics and optimization and is instead going towards flashy characters, animations, and increasing the size of the game by 10GB every three months.
dont put your time into this game. play something better

Greedy company
Poor anniversary rewards, lack of implementing player feedback. Promises of fixing lack luster anniversary rewards to lie to the player base and do the exact same thing again. Do yourself a favor and play any other game. The voice acting sucks, VA direction sucks. Play ZZZ instead Kuro doesn’t deserve your money.
History repeats itself worse than the last time
The most disgusting anniversary ever in gacha history, and here I thought kuro would fix 2nd anniversary! Extremely dissatisfied and disappointed with kuro!
Trash anniversary
Garbage devs
Disappointed over the anniversary
I’ve been playing wuwa for close to a year now and was exited to play while we have the new aniversary running only to find out how lack luster it is. Do better kuro games
Bad second anniversary reward
We have the same event as last year no new stuff the characters look so good but omly enough to get one of them and not even their weapons no free characters which they shouldve gave cus we have been with them for so long and we deserve it we havent had one since 1.x or something like that.
What is this corny game
Bruh.
2nd Year Trashiversary
Bring back the anniversary banner please!!!!!
Everything else is 🔥

Mobile Sucks
Game is good on pc (still can be rough to run sometimes in certain areas while exploring) but almost 50 gigs on mobile is insane
Allergies to anniversaries
Twice in a row disappointment….
Greedy 2nd Anni
One of the worst anni livestreams I’ve seen after a decade of playing gachas. This is coming from a spender as well. Garbage
Where’s our free 5 star selector for the 2nd anniversary??
Huh kuro?? Where is it??
Anniversary rewards
My expectations were low but what the heck was this years anniversary reveal.
Trash anniversaries and events
Stingy and lack of rewards for major updates
Storage for iPad users
Love the game but HATE the storage demands. 50GB+ to be able to play is ridiculous on mobile. Devs need to optimize this better, like this is NOT an anime series.
Horrible
This game should seriously work on how much storage it takes, it adds unnecessary characters and story’s ? Like that makes no sense, do better, I’ve been playing this game until it got released, yet had to stop last year since it took 60gb?? What the hell, not even genshin, who had been going on for 5 years have taken that much storage, once again, I hope they fix this problem
Why
This game is pretty good and while I don’t have much interest in it very often I don’t intend to play it anymore it barely carries any frames most updates and what mobile game takes 55 gigs? The closest is cod mobile but that has the excuses of running over 5 years
Not phone friendly.
As many if you know how much this game has its obvious it wont run its best on a phone but its as if the devs dont try to optimize it to its best it can be. Its very annoying as it affects my end game runs which is stressful enough with the direction the game is taking making you pull the new units. With all that aside I myself cannot keep playing with the constant cycle of nothing changing and wuthering waves turning into if not worse gacha game compared to its competitors.
Really needs Optimizations
Lower the Gb for mobile players and my life is yours
Bad motorcycle controls
It’s been a while since the motorcycle was added, but you haven’t improved the driving of it.
You only have to allow it to control the vehicle with devices inclination (you incline the device to the left and the vehicle turn to the left), like any race game.
With that you have more free space at the display to add the buttons like acceleration, turbo and jump at the right, and breaks, attack, etc at the left.
With that and some sensitivity settings you have a better and comfortable way to drive the motorcycle.
Or better just allow to use the wings at Lahai-roy.

Looks pretty, but…
Huge game! I would have to delete every app I have to fit this game on my iPad.
Lack of men
The game is great really, but there’s just so many less men and the ratio is so skewed
