Grand Sphere

Interesting characters and an engaging storyline. Even on the long walks between major story points, you pass the time with bits of lore and the antics of the party members. As for the gameplay, the rules are about as simple as rock, paper, scissors; but the constant introduction of new monsters and factors ensures that it never gets to be a repetitive grind. My only issue is that I can't play it without wi-fi or it devours my data, but what can you do?

The term "Grind Sphere" for this game is valid, as it requires a lot of time to play, even if you pay, but it's still fun for the most part. The story and voice acting is VERY good, and the basic gameplay's pretty engaging. My biggest complaint is how hard and time-consuming it is to get the best units, and how this game works based off the old model of constant power creep and invalidation of previous units, rather than the "new" model that games like Azur Lane use, where every unit is useful, and the money is made off of customization and skins, rather than by making a swarm of generic units that are constantly made obsolete. That said, the power creep in this game has pretty much reached its end. With Platinum 7*'s out, I think this game's just going to stay at roughly the same power level for the time being, and if you get a full stable of P7's, then you'll be alright. Not like the old days where you finally got some 5*'s, then 6's came out, making 5*'s bad. Then when you finally get a team of 6's... 7's come out, making the 6's less useful and 5's almost useless. I was away from this game when P7's came out (burned out from grinding now suddenly uselss 4's, 5's and then 6's) but I've come back recently and find that a lot of the grind and busywork in this game has thankfully been cut out. Not enough though. The events require too much grind, and the worst one is where you play normal missions to summon special bosses that require BP (a separate resource from the normal AP) and take a TON of time to kill, and you need to literally kill something like a thousand in ONE week (manually battling most of the time) in order to get the best unit. Aside from events like that, and the bounty (real time team boss fights) missions, which are almost impossible now that the playerbase has shrunken so much, and those of us that remain realize how crazy grindy the bounty event is, most of the events are doable and mostly fun.

This is a different take on the standard strategic rpg. Move your party around to utilize the different sphere skills as needed in battle. If you like a game that makes you think a little instead of just relying on elemental matchups, give this a try. I'm loving it so far.

I want to like the game, but I have two complaints. The first is minor, but the character drawings are fuzzy when made larger. Second, and more importantly are the constant load screens I get. It gets frustrating.

Great story and had better rates on pulls/can actually work for high rank characters,it's too bad they did a lazy job with advertisement or this game would have done a lot better(most of my friends got hooked after 2 days of non stop playing,and they never heard of this game...). It was a good run!

just started play, its look like a good gacha game with lots of benefits for beginners, but the download loading is irritating, you should make a full download for all the data, and make us rate the characters since new player didn't know which character is good.

It got great graphic and great gameplay. Love the characters, i was absolutely devastated when i see the billboard that it closing soon. Plz tell me they're working on another game!!

An awesome game would love to see it as a stand alone off line (great potential, absolutely loved the story line did not get to finish it.)

Will always miss Grand Sphere, I have been playing the game since it had first released and was always an enjoyable game, I had a total of 4 play throughs on four different phones since I always forgot to back up my game data, I'm gonna miss this game terribly now since it shut down in February of 2019.. Gone But Not Forgotten

Great game so far, 5 stars when the magic window is fixed, whenever I use magic window the game crashes. I have to try it about 5 times in a row before it finally works but otherwise great game

An excellent game, interesting story and great characters. the only major problem is the obvious attempt to drain your wallet.

It reminds me of FGO and GBF, which is nice. I can tell this has a lot of heart put into making this. It is good for casual play unlike gacha games. A solid 9/10. Rates could be upped a bit but nevertheless, it's really good.

I will not play a game that only displays in portrait. I use a tablet and always play in landscape. Fix this, and I'll give another try sometime.

When I played it years ago it was a good game but I got a new phone and a black screen shows up with the fairy loading screen and I let it sit for about 20 mins and doesn't let me play the game plz fix...

It reminds me of Ishtaria and I truly love that game. Leveling is a bit expensive though. The game, luckily enough, is fairly generous with the Luna (game money). All-in-all a great game.

Was one of my favorite phone games ever and I loved playing it for these past three years. now that its shutting down i'm almost quite literally heartbroken and I don't think there will ever be a game quite like it.

I've been playing on and off for the 3 years this game has been available, so I'm sure people can understand how heartbroken I am to hear that it will be shutting down in February. It was amazing while it lasted.

I am so sad this game has gone down, it had good potential, but the game was ended I guess due to the many problems in the game and how part of the community of the game was not interested anymore, and there was not much new content. Really sad that this happened.

I like the game but everytime I open another app or just do something else on my phone without opening the app the game crashes. Please fix this.

It was fun until while it lasted. Thanks for the 3 years experience and time of my life. All the people and friends I made will be remembered

played this game from the beginning, such a shame to see it ending. Only mobile game I stuck with and wanted to play daily.

Fun game for a break from Fantastica. Fast loading which is good 😁 Got a few friends playing from Fantastica which helps !!!

love the game especially the character cards. really sad its closing. please come up with new card game soon.

Absolutely amazing. I have cried way too many times now that it's closing. Thank you for the great memories on here!

I've been playing this game since it first came out. I'm glad to have progressed so much in it and make many friends. I'm super sad to see it end. Goodbye Grand Sphere, it was my pleasure to play.

logged on daily and will remember the memories it provided me but sad to say the shutdown is looming for 2.27.19 please don't let this be the end of grand sphere. ;( <3

It's great! I love GS. I got many beautiful characters. My character is Attira!!!💜

It won't even open. Instant stopped working notification.

Great free to play rpg. Fair system even without paying money.

Easy to play and get into but the late game is where it's at!
