Review summary

Overall, players like the visuals and some gameplay features, especially the cute yokai and the ability to run multiple battles at once, with a strong idle/gacha appeal. However, many reviews focus on stability problems: the app often won’t launch, users can’t log in or connect to servers, and it frequently requires a Wi‑Fi connection. Bug reporting is limited, which compounds frustration. The game shows potential, but connectivity and launch issues overshadow the experience.

Pros

Nice graphics and 3D visuals
Cute yokai designs
Ability to run multiple battles at once (arena, campaign, bosses, tower)
Idle/gacha appeal with monetization options and free-to-play friendliness

Cons

Frequent launch/startup errors preventing play (won’t launch, loading issues)
Server/login connectivity issues (cannot connect to server)
Requires Wi-Fi or only works on Wi-Fi (mobile data not supported)
Bug reporting unavailable or unresponsive support

2025-10-08	Dr*****	You cannot even report bugs for the game because the developers website say the reporting unavailable. I downloaded this game only to not be able to play it. Nor did I get a game experience.

2024-11-27	Ki*****	The game doesn't work anymore. This was an incredible game. I had recently gotten a bunch of giftcards and calculated the amount of money I'd have to spend in order to get to a certain VIP level, only to find out that the purchases weren't working. I contacted support and they said the game is being taken down...? I'm so confused, I loved this game. Now I can't even get past the loading screen when you open the app. What is going on?

2024-06-30	Jo*****	I just downloaded the game, I keep getting an error and it won’t launch. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few times. This is unacceptable. Fix your game developers!

2024-06-29	Yo*****	It keeps saying “Failed to request version setting file.” I just downloaded this app on 6/28/24 and I'm trying to play it today and it keeps saying that. Please fix it.

2023-07-19	Un*****	Tales of Yokai is a Gacha idle rpg with a focus on instant gratification. There are so many systems and implementations that you will find it addicting and hard to put down as you can progress at rather quick rates before things start to slow and the grind becomes more gradual. I’ve played a lot of mobile Gacha games and I’ve only seen about 3-4 like this one. A heavy component in a game like this is knowing how to effectively use your money. While technically free-to-play, games such as Tales of Yokai offer you many many deals and tons of cash shop options. Some people can be quick to label this as pay-to-win, but it isn’t. Its part of the strategy of the game, how to utilize the deals most effectively without spending too much. Honestly, that’s part of the fun. While there isn’t much story or depth to this game, It does involve a lot strategy and if you know what you’re getting into, it’s a good time sink.
