Ratings and reviews

There is a lot to like about this game. The battles themselves are automated (reminds me of a tabletop strategy game). The game play is more strategy based with fleet setup, R&D equipment and weapons, scouts, airstrikes, weather, and lighting. Lots of storyline and weekly quests influence the story. Amazing graphics & voices. Cons: mentioned in other reviews, this game is grindy, but there are ways to concentrate your efforts. I get random app crashes during battles (didn't happen before).

Earnestly, Victory Belles is a completely adequate game. Aquiring equipment or upgrades is somewhat tedious and understandably frustrating/repetitive. There is a complete lack of input during combat, not even the ability to manually select a target to direct fire unto. However, the localised voice acting is superb and adds a wonderful layer of depth, though there is a language barrier due to a lack of captions. The dialogue is charming and enjoyable in spite of this.

The game has potential but as it stands with the grind and unintuitive menus, along with the lack of a way to view past tutorials you might have misclicked past or forgotten, leaves the game feeling extremely incomplete compared to its competition. I wouldn't suggest sinking the time needed to get going in this game, into this game until they add some kind of automatic clearing function to zones and overhauling the majority of the menus to more properly convey useful information to the player.
