Ratings and reviews

Once the initial upload issues got resolved, this turned out to be a fun little game. It's a combination of a gacha (one where you have a decent chance to get most things), a wrestling trainer, and a slice-of-life game where you get to learn about the New Japan wrestlers. We will need the training segment to expand eventually, in order to avoid repetitiveness. But the foundation is here for a very good game.

Got a ame crashing bug which kept me in a match loop which forced me to continuously to restart app. Tried a cache clear and when that didn't help a reinstall where I promptly lost everything I had. To me this is BS and hence the 1 star rating. Besides that presentation is fun, but gameplay is long and repetitive. It also does not explain things well so you know what the stats or speacials actually do or gets you.

As much as I love NJPW/Stardom and want to love this game, it has too many technical issues for me to give it a better score. Lag, freezes, and simply poor optimization leaves a bad taste in my mouth for this game. As for the gameplay, I love it and it feels like a reasonably handled gacha with an amazing battle trainer vibe with auto battling mechanics. It takes actual strategy to win your matches in single player and PVP. As for my hardware, I have a Lenovo M8 Tablet on Android 10.
