  1. [R1] Dislyte 1/5 · US Disgusting character reviews and zero moderation: The game itself is amazing. The visual style, the art direction, and the gameplay are top tier. However the in game community has completely crossed the line, and there is absolutely zero text moderation. The character review section is filled with disgusting, hypersexualized, and borderline pornographic comments that have been left completely igno
  2. [R2] Dislyte 5/5 · US Only one thing wrong: It’s a really good game with amazing graphics and lots to do in it and easily addicted, only issue is js got with is i just did a 10 summon and got a legendary but i went to look at their abilities, she or any of the others i summoned where not there. Other then that amazing game!
  3. [R4] Dislyte 2/5 · US Endgame sucks: Game was fun for awhile even got friends to play but end game sucks really bad. Nothing to do
  4. [R5] Dislyte 5/5 · US LOVE THIS GAME!!!: this is my favorite game to play ever. Im addicted, I recommend this game to literally everyone I see!!!💯💯💯
  5. [R3] Dislyte 3/5 · US Umm: It keeps saying Japanese words almost every time I try to play you should really fix that
  6. [R10] Dislyte 1/5 · US Suggestion to developers: Please make the settings available before the forced tutorial, its unbelievably frustrating to not be able to control the volume until level 1-4. Thats ridiculous.
  7. [R9] Dislyte 3/5 · US Why just why: I absolutely hate the Divante system becuase it cheats you out of getting espers or wishing stones and highly suggest making the divente’s a different section to pull from
  8. [R12] Dislyte 3/5 · US So much Potential. Please read if you have the time.: Game is fun but too much going on. I stopped playing a while back as it annoyed me to get any echo I wanted, I had to do a slot machine/loot box system. Game felt like I was gambling just to get characters I wanted. I really was looking forward to using Athena but can’t get her to drop. As soon as I launch the game, I am hit with Extreme micr
  9. [R27] Dislyte 3/5 · US THIS IS FOR PAY TO WIN GAME!: JUST PLAY THIS FOR FUN NOT TO WIN YOULL JUST GET STRESS OUT OF THIS. ESPERS DROP LOW FOR NONE PAYERS PLAYER
  10. [R28] Dislyte 1/5 · US I’m Not Coming Back.: I started playing this game within the first year, and continued to do so for a long time. The game got worse. The paywalled content got more drastic. Now, they’re blatantly using AI generated images in the game. You can’t make a worse game with more expensive real-world currency prices and then not even make actual artwork for the game. I’m not coming back to this game again
  11. [R7] Dislyte 1/5 · US Warning: Don’t use AI: I have already seen way too many people pointing out the use of AI in Meta Daylon’s Divinate art. If it is, I highly recommend replacing it and apologizing. If not, you need to prove it isn’t and acknowledge allegations. Letting things go as they are will only hurt the game.
  12. [R15] Dislyte 3/5 · US Unfortunately Deleting: The game was good, it was fun. I had played for so long that I had 90% of the espers they came out with and fully resonated the epics and a few of my legendaries. Unfortunately my years worth of progress has been deleted and cannot be restored even though I never deleted my game. I don’t want to play and be bitter about it, so I’ll be deleting it shortly.
  13. [R18] Dislyte 3/5 · US Can I do anything about this?: Amazing game but I lost my progress since I hadn’t linked a email to my account with almost every character because I was away from the game when they erased all unlinked accounts I hadn’t linked an email to the account is there anyway to restore my account or do I have to start over
  14. [R8] Dislyte 4/5 · US pretty good!!: it's enjoyable to play and i'm ecstatic about the diversity of the character designs! still, i think there could be even more diverse body types on the espers, especially those who are women! one more thing im very happy about is the amount of male characters and the fanservice for them! if you're gonna sexualize characters of one gender, then sexualize the same amount of characters
  15. [R20] Dislyte 5/5 · US Amazing Game!: So I am a huge gamer and I absolutely love this genre (I play SW aswell), and I wanted to find a new game to scratch that itch, and omg I’m a total Dislyte fan now!! The characters, the lore, the dailies, the designs, the concepts, the music, LITERALLY EVERYTHING IS ICONIC!!! I need to this game to get more popular so Farlight knows how much we the community LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS GAME
  16. [R34] Dislyte 2/5 · US Completely Honest Review: I played the game 2 months after it came out. I played for about 1 1/2 years and I decided to check out the game after years of not playing. Other than more pay to win ways to make your character stronger, the game has not changed. I was heavy P2W, spending 1/3 of my paycheck every payday just to summon. I spent thousands on the game and had all of my characters maxed, ex
  17. [R40] Dislyte 1/5 · US I had a very positive review before, it’s declined into a 1 star: I used to love this game for the beautiful artwork, interesting story and awesome character designs, it has truly fallen off. Greedy game design that almost forces pay to play if you JUST want to get the new keepsake release. Get unlucky? Never gettin that character, unless you take your wallet out. The content is now an endless slo
  18. [R21] Dislyte 3/5 · US Want My Account Back: I used to love this game and was invested in to lore and would not stop talking about it to my friends. I took a break for a couple month and tried to go back on and suddenly it asked me to start over. I did not password or email lock my account because when I made the account it did not ask for a password or email lock it was just locked to my device. I stopped playing becau
  19. [R22] Dislyte 1/5 · US Lost account: Stoped playing for 3 Months and just logged in. Found out that my account was reset. Thanks Dislyte.
  20. [R64] rednote 2/5 · US Account being restricted for random reasons: They decided there was a safety issue on my account, so they restricted the account access. No appealing granted, only to verify myself with upload of the passport. Yet their system is not capable of doing so. Tried to contact the support team, only bots were given unhelpful answers. Tried to Uninstall the app, didn’t work. Tried to have a new account,
  21. [R67] rednote 1/5 · US Banned: They banned me after 2 days of having the account. Idk why coz I’m not a bot- I also wasn’t posting a lot. I didn’t post or comment any inappropriate stuff so it’s really frustrating. I only created an account on rednote coz I wanted to follow the love and deepspace cosplayers and also watch reels from people who went to AX expo. There’s more about that here than on IG. Then I got banned.
  22. [R86] rednote 2/5 · US Unclear suspension and no meaningful appeal: My RedNote account was permanently suspended without a specific explanation or clear evidence of a violation. I appealed through the app, but only received a generic response and no meaningful human review. I am giving this rating because the account enforcement and appeal process is not transparent or fair.
  23. [R88] rednote 1/5 · US Blocked account for no reason: I reached out to customer support, asking why they blocked my account. They refused to give any reason. They just block your account as they want
  24. [R84] rednote 1/5 · US Xiaohongshu really loves to block things: Blocking comments: Comments you post aren't visible to others, and you don't tell the person who posted them. Blocking posts: Posts you make aren't visible to others, and you don't tell the person who posted them. Is this how you respect your users? Always doing things behind their backs? All sorts of restrictive designs, truly ingrained. Update: Received a developer response telling me to contact customer service. Guess what? I actually did. First, your customer service is all bots. You tell me to contact customer service, but it's really talking to a bot? You're wasting my time. Second, the bot customer service blames "blocking" on "review." It says posts need to be reviewed. Guess what? I went and verified again. I posted something, and it clearly showed "review passed," but others still couldn't see it. So you're lying! You're dishonest and untrustworthy. I wonder if you'll tell me to go report to customer service again about why others can't see my post? Lol, I'm done. · translated
  25. [R98] rednote 1/5 · US Support sucks: I got blocked for absolutely no reason. Banned. Can never log in again. I’ve tried contacting support at least 10 times and no response or they are completely useless
  26. [R116] rednote 1/5 · US No difference between human and AI customer service: My account was blocked, and I've been appealing for a month with no results. Contacting customer service only gets me "the department is still processing it and will continue to follow up," followed by AI-like phrases such as "please understand and wait patiently." I've already waited a month. I asked customer service in between, and they said they'd expedite it, but two weeks have passed, and there are still no results. · translated
