Fate of the Empress

Really was not expecting much from this game—I saw it on a FB ad and thought it was just another generic mobile Chinese game. I was looking for something to fill the downtime from playing Genshin Impact. I tried this game and was instantly hooked—graphics are gorgeous, loads of character customization, enjoyable story. and gameplay is definitely more complex/interesting than expected. I am having fun collecting costumes and building up my team. This is very similar to Royal Chaos which I played years ago, but has better graphics and more depth to the gameplay. I find myself playing this even more than Genshin nowadays because there are more events and more social interaction with other players. Only thing I might critique is that the translations, while good, are a little off. As a fluent Chinese speaker, the translations do get the meaning across but they could definitely use some improvement. The English translation is very simplified/shortened compared to the Chinese version and you miss many of the nuances in the story. There are also grammatical errors throughout the game (which I expected) that make the instructions hard to understand sometimes. The game also has many small glitches (e.g. sometimes sound randomly turns off). If they could just improve the translation, polish up their grammar, and fix the glitches/make the game run more smoothly, this game would definitely be solid. Highly recommend! more

Great game, I know it just came out recently, but I would like to see heirs and more costumes hopefully. Other then that the graphics are amazing along with the cut scenes, voice acting, story, etc. Sure it takes up a lot of space but like I said it just came out so give them a break. Because what's annoying me is so many people are complaining about some bugs and the space stuff, and are rating it low! They need to remember it just came out last month. So keep that in mind when downloading! more

This has to be the best mobile game I’ve played like this. I play it everyday and have even recommended it to my friends, but that’s where my only issue with the game comes in. I’ve wanted my friends who have joined the game to be able to join my current server but they’re unable to because of it being locked. I would understand this if the server was full of active players, but there are a lot of people who are no longer playing and the server is starting to slow down because of the lack of people. It’s something that everyone in my server as well as many people on your platforms are disappointed in because we are losing activity in events and just in general. I hope you allow people to join in new servers soon because we would all appreciate it. more

The only reason this game isn't rated higher is because the folks who are into this game this are far too busy playing nonstop to rate. I've had it for exactly 15 days and I have not gotten anything done IRL since then. I'm so addicted. Tidbit of a learning curve but the red notifications help. The graphics are fantastic, the combat mechanics are simple but still fun, and the social interactions make your server/guild feel like family. The events are a blast too! I love this game! -s27, Cai Chen more

Nothing that’s not too easily fixed. Mostly that I wish it would start on Manuel progression through the dialogue, and not switch back to auto randomly. Pretty much anything with timed reading is difficult for me with dyslexia. Another thing which is probably because of my modern upbringing.... I can’t get over how the main love interest so far is her cousin, and their chemistry is so good I’m rooting for them, even though it's also setting off alarms in my head. It’s probably pretty normal for the time though.. they are so cute together. Also it’s really fun making your character super pretty in this. Though I accidentally made her look too western for the game aesthetic the first time (looked odd having someone who was pretty much a white girl in ancient Chinese garb) Luckily you get two presets you can switch between whenever, and edit them too. Wish I could choose the hair color instead of relying on wigs though... Didn’t see anything for skin tone if that’s important to you, but it’s suppose to be a native Chinese person. I wonder how the plot changes if your character is male. Might do a play through of that if I’m still into this at the end. Just till I get bored. Couldn’t be identical could it? more

Its actually a good game that has a lot to do in-game as you level and rank up. Though there are times it gets annoying when you encounter game bugs or glitches. But what worries me the most is that they add new server too fast. It's like theres a new server the other day then you'll see their announcement in fb that they'll add another new server. The older server dies fast. more

Got to level 4 official (level 54), then I logged in and my account was gone. I get the character setup page. Hours and hours of playtime and real money just gone. There is zero support if something goes wrong. There is nowhere on the website to even contact them. UPDATE Eventually found the support portal in the game. Apple store link for game support goes to website where there is no contact. I now have my account back. It seems my iPad jumped server so it was looking in the wrong place for my account. A few exchanges of messages, and 4 hours later, the issue was spotted and I was able to redirect my iPad to the correct server. While it seems jumping server seems to be an issue with others too, the support response was actually outstanding. Thank you. If you play this game, make sure you write down the server you are connecting to or it will seem you have lost your account if your device suddenly jumps server. The server name is next to the start button. Great game, one of the best I’ve played in a long time. more

I love this app I've never had to buy anything with money, and I'm already level 68. There is a very big story with lots of side stories too. The characters are very beautiful to, and you can specially design your characters face! Love this game 100% recommend 😁 more

The game is gorgeous. It’s worth playing just for the graphics. But not for long. 1 month in, and I am kind of fed up. Just like every other game of its type, if you don’t spend real money your progression is veeeeery slow. Like ‘why even bother’ kind of slow. All the daily tasks get you so little rewards that the p2p players don’t even do them. The only reasons I could see to play the game long term as a f2p player is if you meet some really nice people or if you don’t mind being weak af. The fact that there’s really only 1 boring af mount for people who don’t spend money kind of offends me. I have seen 1 other mount I could get... and it will take months to get it. It’s pretty easy to get the fashion designs, but the items needed to create them are hard to get or you have to buy, so I really don’t mess with costumes. Lol, after reading what I just wrote, I think I might just get rid of the game. more

This is first time i give a review so i hope it make sense. I love to play this game, usually i stop playing game between 1 to 3 days but this one keep me playing for about a week already. There is many features to make you busy but still i can continue my daily life like usual. There is bugs and lags here and there yet it did not really bother me much during game. I think it worth to give it a try of you are interested, very fun to play. more
