- [R1] Best bleach game IMO: Summoning is addicting-also easy to obtain characters even when f2p with no need for endless grinding. Although, I want true bankai ichigo back in summon banners.
- [R63] Bankai !: This is my favorite anime game rn I play it with my cousin and friends. We love the anime and have fun fighting hollows and bosses together !
- [R70] D: It’s a really good game for mobile I really love it the characters are very cute I love the missions and everything overall I give it a ten if I could
- [R85] Fun: I play this game all the time, during work, the bathroom and the bus train car everywhere pretty much. I have favorite characters but I like the strong ones too. I’ve read the whole manga and never watch the anime but it’s good seeing new characters getting introduced. Bleach isn’t my favorite anime/manga so I’m not really in the community but this game makes me feel apart of it. I’m in subre
- [R3] great game: overall i would say the game is great even for free to play. the only things i don’t like are the assists in bosses and the amount of exp things i can get in the soul tree bonanza
- [R81] This game is so good: Every says that this is pay to win but i am doing fine and i do not pay. I have not gotten hacked like everyone says they did and its fighting is top notch this is the best game ever
- [R82] An amazing game for a FTP player!: This is my last year playing this game and I gotta say it has been one of the best mobile games I’ve played! I played since launch and it’s super easy to get orbs and you’re not pressured to buy just to have a shot at getting a 5 star character. 5-stars for me and I hope they make a brave souls 2! I’ll definitely come back!!
- [R2] STORY MODE AND SUB QUESTS: I wish there was a more optimized way to do story mode and subquests as there is so much of both. Maybe having an auto mode where it goes to the next one by itself and it takes twice the amount of tickets or something. Love the game but it gets tedious.
- [R14] Ehh..: Good game with great storyline. However, the gameplay does get stale quickly (idk if it’s a personal thing)
- [R10] Terrible game with skimmed rates: The fillers have higher pull rates than the featured and you get screwed over everytime you summon. Not worth your time and you’re better off playing anything else.
- [R16] Boring: The summon rate is trash you don’t get the feature character, you have to spend a lot of orbs just to get a duplicate character you already have such a disappointment.
- [R18] Summoning: The summons here has gone worse! Klab is being greedy once again and isn’t being fair to players.
- [R19] This game is garbage: The rolling system on this game is garbage in every aspect. Would not recommend. Don’t waste your time.
- [R5] Meh (like it’s ok but idk): Ok first of all there r way too many have to download stuff and my phone running out of storage Besides it’s gets boring after playing for like 3 months
- [R12] The developers are lazy and the game is no fun anymore.: I have played the game since launch, and it was once the best mobile game I’ve ever played. But sadly I think the game is no fun anymore. The game use to be fun but the developers have become extremely lazy, and have not done anything to make better changes to the game for a long time. And they have become extremely lazy with new characters.
- [R34] After 8 years, worse than ever: I started 8 years ago and they really started to milk the players. Massive power creep makes most of the older characters useless and it’s hard and and harder to get the same guild quest rewards. Good power creep involves new content better fitting new characters, rather than making the same game worse.
- [R36] Great At first: After 7 years of playing this game since the 3rd anniversary I’m here to say the game was great to play for beginners and terrible for any long time players. So enjoy for a bit and spend little money.
- [R6] .: It loads endlessly, making it impossible to play. You can skip new games, but here the endless loading is also tedious gameplay, the style is also very primitive, the design would be 2d, it would be better than this cheap 3d incomprehensible, sorry, but this is my opinion, you lose to other games in these areas, but! The character cards are awesome, and all the characters can be easily and quic
- [R48] PlayStation 5 & Console update/Patch needed: I can’t log into the game on PlayStation 5 or switch it keeps getting stuck on an infinite loading screen after downloading and updating data. I tried reinstalling and cleaning my consoles database just in case and it runs every other game just fine.
- [R49] For the version for the ps5: freezes at the loading screen after update
- [R52] Bleach: I love bleach but sometimes it glitches so it stops being fun 😞
- [R99] Absolutely love this game: But my only issue is the pricing on the in-app purchases its absolutely insane $69,99 for only 518 Spirit Orbs?!? I can get that in a day theres absolutely no reason it should be that much if I’m paying that much i deserve bare minimum 7000 cause it’s genuinely not even useful nobody’s gonna pay that much for what you provide, you might as well not even have in-app purch
- [R133] Great game, HOWEVER: This is a great game, but there are two BIG problems with it. Spirit orbs and the 5 star chances. Spirit orbs are very difficult and frustrating to get once you’ve completed the stories and side stories. And frankly, it’s practically impossible. And from what you do get, it’s so little. They obviously want you to purchase spirit orbs, but it’s so expensive. 60 or 70 bucks for
- [R376] Meh: Kinda old, very VERY grindy, glitchy and and so many servers are straight up empty in co-op. It is at least not too pay to win though number of orbs a person can buy for the prices listed are just simply the worst I’ve ever seen in literally any video game period. The game is fun when it isn’t broken.
- [R7] Feeling robbed: Been playing for a few years and every once in while I notice a character that I know I pulled (has a badge) seemingly disappears from my inventory. Now I know I’m not crazy, and for what ever reason you keep removing characters I’ve spent time and resources on. Every 5*+ character I pull gets locked and I don’t get rid of them unless it’s a dupe. You are quite literally stealing f
- [R17] Let me log in my account!: Cant log in keeps saying all my stuff will gone what am supposed to do.
- [R24] Post all my progress because of an update: All of my progress was deleted because of an update. I probably had +2,000$ and 4-5 years of progress deleted because of an update. I don’t know why. Don’t play this game and if you do don’t spend a single penny on this game. They can just remove all of your progress/money at any time. ( I never cheated or did anything that would have gotten me banned and
- [R26] Can’t log into old account: Ive had this game for years I repeat years I picked up on the game around the squad zero introduction arc for tybw I’ve spent days and nights and money on this game for no avail to my problem I need my account back but you guys changed the game again for old players I got emails from you all still but can’t log in I wish to be reached out to someone not a bot or compute
- [R44] Worst company ever: The recent 10th anniversary celebrations was so bad, no contents. We always had special senkaimon each anniversary but this year we didn’t we also didn’t have anniversary coop, and guild quests were shadow buffed they didn’t even increase the rewards, last year 9th anniversary we got special gq which at the time was very hard but we got 150 orbs each phase which nobody was comp
- [R46] 10 years not worthwhile: I’ve been playing this game for about ten years to it’s anniversary. The lack of communication to its player base and no informative news to the changes in the guild quest but shadow buffing mobs and bosses has made the game ultimately have no return value. Do not play this game ever.
- [R50] Very bad game and terrible Anniversary: Just save your own time and sanity, and pick a different gacha game that actually cares and listens to or at least tries to, take epic seven 7th anniversary, we had a thank you video and all and months of events, and lots of free units, way better than this garbage
- [R54] 10th anniversary fiasco: Actively ignoring the communities criticism and are sticking their heads in the sand to avoid criticism. It’s like they don’t want you to spend money on their game. Are doing everything in their power to make us mad and act like this game doesn’t put food on their families tables. Been playing for 6+ years. Total shame that this is how we’re treated after years of playing
- [R11] NEEDS CONTROLLER SUPPORT: This game is dope and I play it on my ps5 as well but i wanna play my mobile account otg and controller support would make this game alot better for mobile players
- [R20] Beautiful game!: Only thing I would want is to be able to use controller! That would be so cool🥹🤍🫀
- [R23] Backbone support please 🙏🏽: Backbone controller support 🙏🏽
- [R25] Controller support plz: I love this game been playing for years but please add controller support
- [R22] PvP: I have been playing this game since the beginning and I really enjoy playing it there’s plenty of stuff to do and grind for but what bothers me the most about this game is the PVP I have spent loads of time grinding items/character dupes to build my PvP team up but what I don’t like is that in certain matches it’s basically a forced loss meaning my character will move towards the opponent whi
- [R79] Stay awya from PvP: I finally ranked up enough in PvP to get actually other players teams and now my team is doing 0 damage and dying almost instantly. There is definitely something going on. I even faced a team that has 17K power and my power was 30K, same thing. I had it in epic raids where some how the team i was on was able to insta kill the raid boss. Looks like whatever hackery there is
- [R38] Greedy.: Yes it’s very F2P friendly in the beginning but they consistently insist on nerfing resources and farms, and they’re getting greedier and greedier by the days.
