Brave Nine - Strategy RPG 12+

Hero collection game with deep strategy and great artwork. There are many interesting things to do everyday, even if you don’t choose to spend money, You will unlock and build up your group of fighters, mostly cute anime girls, and deploy them on a grid to take on different challenges that auto-resolve in turn-based combat. While you don’t directly control their actions, your choice of merc, formation and turn order will decide their success.

There is a very long campaign with a pretty good story (500+ repeatable stages, in normal or hard mode), 3 different PVP arena modes, multiple challenge towers with different rewards for resource farming, co-op missions, rotating “world bosses”, and guild wars. You will not quickly get “stuck” or be easily bored here.

While I think this game is quite generous for free players, you can also spend money to acquire resources faster. If you want to dominate the arena and get the best mercs quickly maxxed out then you will need to spend money of course, however it is still very possible to be competitive by using better strategy and spending only a few bucks here and there.

The game is great, if I could play it.... it’s soooo laggy that every action you take has a couple seconds delay and it really ruins the entire game. Sometimes the loading circle just keeps spinning endlessly and then I have to close out of it to start again. Don’t even get me started on the “get all” feature in the mail section. It doesn’t work for a lot of things and you have to manually open each letter all the meanwhile waiting for the lag delay between each item you get, it’s not a fun experience. I don’t have ANY of these issues with any other game so I am 100% certain it’s this app.
Lastly, silver 1 in arena is cancer, everyone I fight instantly destroys me. Seems like people who have stopped playing the game still stay active in the arena which makes it impossible to climb.

I got all the bad things out of the way, now the good stuff. This game does a great job of keeping you busy and handing out rewards that actually feel satisfying. They hand you some very good units right off the bat , it’s up to you to figure out what works best for you. It’s a shame that there are so many app issues because I would love to spend money on a game like this but no way am I spending money on an app riddled with bugs. Fix these issues and then I’ll reconsider.

I’m a game I’m playing on my phone for downtime, there is a couple of requirements for it to be good: simple, fun, and not pay to win. These requirements were met HEAVILY in this game. Now of course you can buy a bunch of gems to use, however the amount of gems you can earn is immense with just playing the game, and not only that but once you do a big “mercenary spawn” you get a small discount for another time. The gameplay itself is smooth and simple, allowing the player to really get into it for simple downtime, and to top that off the story is an actual legendary experience. The amount you can do just in small parts of this game is good for simple downtime, and not only that but it’s n auto battle game, which is fun so I can have one hand on a cup of coffee. If you haven’t already pick up this game, the people working here have already made it clear they CARE about your feedback as the recent patch made iOS players unable to play for almost a day and a half, yet they gave so many items to the players on iOS.
