Isekai:Slow Life
reviews and complaints

I’ve been playing the game for about a week now and spent about $20 on it. Game is very fun but let it be known that the ads for the game are almost nothing like the games itself. I also very much dislike these “sales” they seem to add. One them claims that the original price was $2000 dollars and is now on sale for $100. There is no way this was ever set at $2000. Maybe they mean individually it would cost $2000, but how can you put a price on the items that are only in the pack and can’t be bought without buying the pack? Anyways, I really just don’t like the misleading marketing, especially when the games is super fun and addicting.

Let me start out that I’ve always been a sucker for idle games like this one, and although the devs managed to get the formula down, they also got a lot of things wrong. First, micro transactions and scummy ads. If the game pops up an ad it’ll tell you that something is on sale for 95% and that the bundle they want you to purchase is normally worth up to $2000 dollars when it is absolutely NOT worth nearly that much. And on top of that most of the packs aren’t even worth their real price, every now and then you find a good deal with a good character and maybe some items. Second, and this might be a personal thing, but making money from your crops is absolutely HORRIBLE and don’t even get me started on farming things needed to upgrade your crops. When I first started the game I thought the crops would be op even during late game, but I quickly realized how bad they really are when i started upgrading my buildings more and the upgrades cost more. If I were to use solely the money I make from crops to pay for just one upgrade to my inn it would take me like five minutes. This is just scratching the surface of the numerous things in the game that just don’t tickle me right. I would’ve given it a 3 star review but I like boobies so I’ll give a 4 star.

I’ve been playing this everyday for over a week now, and even spent money which I almost never do. This is the first “gacha” game I’ve ever actually been interested in, the ui isn’t overbearing, there’s just enough interaction and things to do, while still being able to idle for cash. Character designs are fantastic, and have quirky little personalities to go with them.

As far as things I’d like to see:

Character customization, even if it’s just clothing it’d be nice to separate your character from other players

Server account transferring, I’ve recommended this game to people I know, or met people playing and they’re on different servers and cannot friend or join each others guilds. A new game has to be made on any server.

Remove the 99% off coupons on everything, everyone knows they’re not on sale and it just looks bad.

Pricing and worth of product…Charging $100 for a dress is a bit insane. For all the different passes, I think they should be a bit more worth it.

Make it a little less impossible for people who don’t pay to progress especially getting towards level 20

The VIP levels are insane, I’m VIP 3 and I can’t even imagine paying that much to get VIP 6.

I’d like to see the game last a very long time, I think all things considered the devs are doing a good job but I don’t want things to get too pay to win, for the games sake.

TLDR: pretty nice but you can only play as a male who experiences a mass number of fan service from the girls in the game that show off their boobs (quite obviously)

this app is pretty well made and fun to play over all to be honest, but it's characteristics definitely have a targeted audience. From what i am seeing so far, you are only able to play as a male character who seems to take interest in "cute" girl in this isekai world. There is no choice to play as a female, at least not yet. I also noticed in the beginning, it asks you to choose what to be isekaied as, which comes to no avail because you are automatically a walking mushroom who later evolves into a boy. The storyline and gameplay is cute but it got weird around the part where it introduces to "family" characters. you rescue this dog-girl who escaped from an abusive slavery type relationship and then it just is a whole bunch of fan service after that tbh. After that i noticed your "family" was just a bunch of girls from different species with skinny waists and big boobs shown off by their cute outfits which made me realize that this game was mostly made for male players who enjoyed fan service of that type. Honestly not that bad if you're into that type of stuff but if not, this probably isn't the game you're looking for.

I just started this game the other day and so far it’s what I’ve been wanting in a game, a fun Isekai with different things you can do and characters you can meet and bond with..

That is until Gina…I’m sure the devs had heard this before but it makes me extremely uncomfortable and soured my mood when we saved Gina but all we gave her was a loose shirt and a collar then referred to her a child before going on a date with her. Seeing her have a leash in the home menu was also very uncomfortable, it made me feel scummy and like I was doing something indecent simply interacting with you which turned me off from the romance of the game. I don’t want to accuse the game of anything bad but I just can’t help but feel really uncomfy when interacting with the young family members. I think they really need dialogue rework or character rework to not make us the players so uncomfortable.

Next, once again others have said it too but I think more diversity should be involved, I have no problem with female focused games but at some point it feels to much and in an Isekai focused game I feel there should be options with gender and male family character. I love women but i would like to see more male character options for those who want to bond with males. Aswell as perhaps a choice to be a female when you start the game.

Overall the play style and game itself are nice the biggest problem I see now are the characters involved.

I haven’t played many idle/Gacha game combos like this before. I have to say Mars Era Limited has nailed the format. I din mind micro transactions as that’s how they make their money off of the free game. And that’s fine with me they can use it to continue improving the game.

However, I do have an idea. Many of us on the player base wanna have a little variety. Like we wanna be able to pick our gender and be male or female. We wanna see more muscly female and male charcters as fellows and family in the game. I’d like ti lean more into the role playing aspect a bit. Overall really excellent game though awesome job yall.

Game is okay has nice characters and plenty of events , but man is it money hungry. Events can be finished easily but to gain the event rewards be prepared to spend money if not the don’t even dream of gaining the reward. Summon events are awful , if you for sure wanna get a fellow summon it is given after 160 summons , 30 summons shards is given in the $99 bundle which you would have to buy 5 times cause you get 10 shards for free for beating the event … if you ain’t spending on this game you ain’t winning or progressing . The events offer great rewards if you are willing to spend over $100 a day to get them if not it’s impossible

If you’re an isekai fan or is even remotely interested in the concept of reincarnating into another world then this is the game for you. It’s everything all us Isekai Otakus been waiting for. Perfect intro asking to choose between poplar reincarnation races like slimes or skeletons then tell you those are too popular and they only got walking mushroom left. That first part already got me hooked. It was perfect. Then you have your sassy system Erica. And all the followers and family you can gain. Truy a masterpiece. If we can get this game more fundings I’m sure the developers will be adding VC for each character Making them even better.

So it’s a good game and all it’s pretty fun but I have a problem with some of the characters…especially Charlotte and Gina. Gina is very sexualized and I didn’t mind it till I say she was described as a “young girl” and then I got kinda uncomfortable with her. Then there was Charlotte who I automatically knew she was a kid and then you get married to her? That’s pretty weird. Also Ira, I haven’t gone that far into the game and I don’t know if she’s sexualized or not but her outfit is extremely revealing for a KID. I think this game would be much better if you didn’t sexualize kids because it makes me really uncomfortable.

Stop it

The game is good, you can enjoy the story without spending, the recruit thing is a little troublesome to get stones for recruit purple fellows or gold(SSS) fellows, for now to get SSS fellows you need to spend… is a isekai shounen game, i hope you guys can make an reverse harem isekai soon! As a girl i think im speaking for the rest as well lol, the game is really catchy, the community is friendly, plus you guys should change the age for playing this game i think is more 16+ because, some fellows shows too much skin and underwear as well, it got explicit content so i don't think minors of 12 can play this. Thank you devs for a great story isekai.

As addicting as this game is, it’s really disheartening that you would have to spend literally thousands of dollars to unlock certain characters or rank top in pretty much any leaderboard. The prices for the bundles are WAY more than what is reasonable for any game, and people would be way more willing to spend money if it was a dollar here or there, $100 max for VIP 7. I’ve been playing for 9 days and I’m already over it. It would make more sense to have the VIP status get unlocked over a period of time if you pay for a battle pass. That way players won’t just unlock it all on day 1, and the developers have a steady cash flow that will also keep people playing long term.

For sure it’s a cash grab game. I mean every Appstore game is. But in my honest opinion it’s not that bad. The f2p aspect of the game I would say is rather grindy but there are guys that are still better than me even if I spent money. Of course spending money just gives you the advantage getting stronger ahead of time. I would say try it out it’s pretty fun and the developer tries to fix a lot. I guess they also listened to us when we complained about the last event. We got a new event recently and it’s pretty playable and somewhat fair. I do wish they would add a pity system and make pulls easier to get. 50 pity would be nice cause it’s pretty hard pulling for the characters anyways.

Pretty mindless game play which is a pretty good pass time, and there is so much to do that I still haven’t gotten bored of it. I may not be far enough in the game yet, but I do think that intimacy is a little to hard to increase. To fix that i think you should increase the amount gained in roaming encounters and dates. Another thing i think the game could improve from is more possibilities in the wishing gatcha because you can’t get much from it unless you get enough recruit fragments (20) or building upgrades. From what I’ve seen so far there aren’t any major problems or annoying time constraints because the cooldowns are all short. Overall not as bad as other people are saying, I think its just not the game they were looking for.

So far, this is a very cute game! Nice graphics and easy to navigate. Some feedback for future updates though:

1. At the beginning, the game offers the player’s name in a first and last name format. However, the space gets deleted once you submit. Example: If I put in John Doe, the system will show it as JohnDoe. (Thankfully, you do get a free name change, so not too big of a deal)

(SPOILER)

2. looks like we will eventually be able to take on a human form. The shape looks masculine, but I hope when the time comes I will be able to choose a feminine frame instead. Otherwise, the new name won’t fit too well lol. Perhaps a menu similar to Pokemon where you choose between a female or male avatar would work well?

Excited to see more of this game!

I have played this game since it’s launch (which wasn’t even a week ago, i’m pretty sure) But as far as I see, the game just focuses on girls with huge knockers. There’s barely any male characters, and it just seems like this game is made for sweaty guys who don’t have a life.
As someone who likes men, and is a guy, there is maybe roughly ten of them in total? Maybe even a little bit more. But there’s probably over twenty+ of women with honestly unrealistic knockers.

I mean the game is okay in general, I wish there would be more of a way to get the battle pass coins without paying 15$ on a game I may forget about in a month. I like the game mechanics, and I can probably say I’ve played it for over an hour daily, but still.

Add more men, please.

I played this after launch until 09.03.2023. I decided to come back in time to give a basic overview as to what this game is since it is not very well explained outside of a few screenshots. This is pretty much a reskin of the game “Trading Legends” with a slight variation of the types of mini games that are present. It’s your typical Gatcha game where you can earn the desired Waifus through earned in game currency, but it is very much a pay to win system. The aesthetics are visually pleasing but the gameplay does get monotonous fairly quickly. Interactions with other players is a fun way to keep interest in the game for a bit longer than the expected shelf life. All in all it’s a solid 3 reincarnations out of 10 isekais. If you want to play before launch then try trading legends.

Throughout the last few years I’ve played well over a dozen “AFK” Gacha games. Instead of the team building & need to battle through story & daily Labyrinth & 5+ other things, this game focuses on building your village & getting familiar with the characters. The main purpose of progressing the story, is to experience the story. Can’t say that for any other AFK game I’ve ever played. It is fairly interesting, & the art/animation is top tier (even the eyes feel animated, not just the body).

So far, my only complaint about the game is that it looks like a few SSR (top tier) characters are locked behind VIP level (spending real $$). This is also something I’ve not seen in any other Gacha game. There’s usually some characters that are very slow to acquire without spending, but impossible? I’m only 24 hours in so I might’ve missed something, but if that’s really how it works, that rubs me the wrong way.

As a paid player this game is good, but it’s not free-to-play friendly most of the time and that might drive some people away from the game. You are constantly shoved with micro transactions and it’s just feel like this game is just after your wallet. Hopefully the devs will make the game more free-to-play friendly and be more generous with the rewards so more so players can participate in events, cause even as a paid player I have a hard time doing certain things, like roaming, getting fame, upgrading family and fellows etc.

I do agree with the sentiment regarding the introduction to the family mechanic and it should be changed since it feels wrong to take in a brainwashed slave girl and then immediately make her your family.

This game is also a bit of a grind fest and you have to put in a lot of time just to reach higher levels, especially since fame is hard to get unless you pay for it. Same with upgrading your family and fellows, there just isn’t enough resources being given to the players and gold gets pretty useless when you hit certain points of the game. And the amount of micro transactions is insane, it needs to be toned down a bit. The server that I’m in is already starting to feel dead, it’s becoming harder to recruit new members to guilds.

Overall it’s a fun game and I will continue to support it, I just hope the devs will implement some new mechanics because the current ones are starting to get stale, change the the story around Gina, add more quality of life changes (like the fathom system with family and fellows) and the awards that given out so free to play players can stand a chance against the pay to win/whale players.

I want to start off by saying idle games usually aren’t my cup of tea as I like achieving as much as possible in a short time frame while not waiting to gain money to advance or waiting for money to level up characters etc. but this game while it is an idle game there’s so many things to do that it doesn’t feel like your waiting as much as it feels like that with other games.

I only have two issues with this game and those are with your family members and leveling up their skills for the bonuses they give, the chance of gaining a higher level to max it out is incredibly slim maybe their could be a difficult way (that doesn’t include paying) for you to access a max out skill token? Or just make the chances a little bit easier because while I do enjoy the idea of it being completely randomized I think the chances are just too low for it to be an actually enjoyable game of chance. As well as your fellows and gaining the exp needed to level them up, which I do understand it’s an idle game but it is a small annoyance when trying to level these guys up to defeat someone and you don’t have the proper amount of exp so you need to roam but you can’t defeat the person to continue roaming.

Also! I absolutely adore the restaurant and the leveling up in that. It would be so cool if you could turn that system into a game of its own as maybe a spin-off or something? Become a waiter or obviously the owner who is really in tune with their customers so if there is a story aspect it’s you getting to know your customers better etc. Maybe more decorations that help the atmosphere to unlock more extravagant characters and workers.

Either way this game is a lot of fun!

I’m going to start with the con of this game so you don’t have to hunt for it.

Microtransactions. I know they are in every game now (which is stupid) but when it says original price is 2k and it’s “slashed” to $100 it’s still a pathetic attempt to get people to buy. Second, when almost half the game is locked behind $$ it’s very off putting. Examples are VIP, and game puzzles/chest from special events. VIP, you can only get buy buying certain $$ items (not all purchases qualify), which will unlock “family” members and “followers”, you cannot get them anywhere else in the game. Each level of VIP is excessive too. As for the puzzles/chests, also locked behind $$. For the chests you can spend gems (you can earn in game or purchase) to get the key for the standard chest but for the advanced chest you have to spend minimum $20 to unlock 1. The puzzle pieces allow you to summon an SSR family or follower if you get 100 pieces. If you want to get it and not wait you have to spend a lot of $$ otherwise if you are F2P it will take you several years if they run the events every year. Last is if you are competitive person (to earn the good rewards) you have to spend money, so if possible I like to see rankings for those that spend and a ranking of those that don’t so it’s more even.

Pro/likes: music, I really like the music of this game, it’s very peaceful. I typically like to turn off all sounds on games and play silent but not this game.
The theme of isekai, I’m a huge fan and love the idea. I also like to keep my eye out for “hints” of the shows I watch like “Mammon” reminds me of Benemaru, Augustine reminds me of Overlord. There is also the children and you have to teach them, you also get to name them if you wish which reminds me of the time I got reincarnated as a slime.

The other thing others have to realize is this is an idle game so you don’t have to spend hours playing the game. After you get to a certain level you just have to log in once or twice a day.

I have bought a package withing the game and did not receive my recharge points for it This has happened twice now and the first time it was a small purchase so I didn't mind too much. This time however was £49.99 I pay often so I didn't expect to encounter this problem The charge went through my account and shows on my game records within the game

Of all that is holy and sacred left in this world...
The writing in this game is horrible and cringeworthy as all ever. I’d rather watch some Dhar Mann than play anymore. Also really creepy as the first “wife” you meet is a literal child, but I guess it makes sense since the main character is kind of a creep too. But no hot men? 0/10.
All around, this is just another generic mobile game that will try to drain the pockets of suckers. Don’t be a sucker, just move on and keep dreaming of the mobile game that will never be, because people keep giving this greedy heartless studios their money.

I was very disappointed to find out this was just ‘Trading Legends’ reskinned. I understand micro transactions are a norm but I can’t stand pay to win being the main focus of games. It’s cute and fun but I’ll get bored of it very quickly since you can’t just enjoy things without constantly having a subscription or transactions flung in your face at every turn.
I was also disappointed that the ‘family’ function is really just another waifu collector. Which I’m fine with, but when you’re looking for a wholesome game and having your ‘family’ in clearly sexual situations- it’s very disheartening.

One thing i noticed about this game is that it’s riddled with AI art. Personally, I don’t agree with the use of AI art but whatever, if the story was good i could look past it. The story isnt well written which is to be expected but i lost interest after unlocking the date function. I hated the fact that you bring in a former slave girl to be your family and then you take her on dates where she acts like a dog, it creeps me out. The gameplay itself is fine, its kinda just an average “turn your brain off” kinda game but i think im not the target audience. All of this turned me off and i doubt ill be playing in the future

Being a new game I wanted to check this one out and make a clean impression.

So it’s a very pretty game, simple story and premise. But really I was super confused at first as to what the mechanics were. After some play I realize that this is just a clicker game with some softcore splashed in for flavor.

Your first waifu or “family” as Isekai puts it, is a nearly brainwashed slave dog-girl. Your dates involve playing fetch and adopting orphans. It’s weird.

Unless you’re really into this I’d skip it. The various ways to improve your town are ridiculous and there are far too many. It’s spread out across tons of different interact-able events that quickly lose focus. Good luck remembering what’s going on.

As soon I downloaded this it was but 5 days later people are already getting on leader boards and those events that give you fellow, family, and some other benefits well guess what all it takes is some dude with there mother credit card to buy the whole thing while us average players have to compete, you think this is fair, also also what about these vip and passes that gives people boost in power, another thing this game is misleading like in the trailer there was this skeleton character but when I choose the skeleton you people said no u get mushroom. There’s another problem with the cosmetics like ain’t no way it use to me $2,000 then drops down to $99 and ain’t no way it was $100 than be came $10 like this so very misleading. Also the game comparable to EA with all the micro transaction. This game gets a 1 star.

I want to start off by saying the game is pretty and lives up to the slow life name. It can be cute and you enjoy the village progress, it can be rewarding. However the game is so ridden with money hungry practices that after the initial few stages and upgrades it immediately crashes into being a slow trudge to do anything else. There’s constant promotions to buy bundles that clutter the screen and constantly pop up and interrupt the gaming experience. Even in events you can end up wasting stamina just to multiple times get shown another bundle you can buy. The gap between f2p and paying players is so massive that there’s no chance of you playing certain game modes or events without immediately missing out if f2p and no competition at all if you pay. Unless you want to play a game that takes a wad of cash every three minutes don’t bother.

The game is another template of games like Trading Legends, King’s Choice etc. The graphics and design is beautiful but it feels been there, done that really fast. The one and only way to win is by paying.
And I don’t mind throwing some money at a game I enjoy, but the gap between big spenders and f2p becomes so big they lose all interest.
So the game is about a few spenders at the top indirectly forcing each other to spend more.
There is an event running at the moment and it is impossible to get a reward if not paying.
It kills the mood for all f2p or (smart) little spenders!
I know this is a game and the developers need to be payed, but this is such a shameless money grab!
For example an outfit for one of your family characters 99$ In times where so many people go through hard times with inflation and energy prices this is actually aggravating!
Please, Devs, pedal back on the greed and fix prices, rewards and events!

I’ve played a lot of mobile games, and never before have I felt compelled to write a review. We all know mobile games are p2w, so Isekai should be no surprise right?

Wrong. I’ve never seen a game so absurdly predatory in my life, and that is saying something.
The first 15-19 levels feel genuinely fun, and were created to draw you in. Then everything goes downhill.

There are like 20+ systems of power in this game, and you can pay for all them. Shocker. Events happen every few days and you can (shockingly) pay for everything in said events. The game incentivizes you to do so by showing leaderboards and offering rewards for ranking well. Speaking of events: this newest one requires everyone to spend their stamina to spawn a MMO-type event, where you have to (you guessed it) spend increasing amounts of stamina to get rewards. I was ignoring the obvious p2w aspect of the event and instead of getting rewards, I was shown a cat that offered me a super generous value pack for $5. I hit the X, obviously not interested, but to my surprised pikachu face, the pack didn’t close. The cat begged me to buy the pack, requiring me to hit the X twice.

Even the whales get the short end of the stick, they spend their annual salary for awesome titles that last for… 15 days. lol. But at least they make as much gold in a day as I will in (calculating: 334.6 days)!

All of this doesn’t sound too bad? You get waifus, right? Sure, if you enjoy obvious AI art with no effort put into it.

In short, stay away if you value your time, money, or both. Thank me later.

Overall, the game is cute and enjoyable. However, the major issue of having to pay real money to progress makes itself glaringly obvious during the first real event, Touno Island Story.
The event lasts 5 days but is only available 11 hours of the day and is in the middle of the day, depending on your schedule (school or work), you’d probably have about 3 hours of the event available daily. You also get 30 stamina, that recharge fairly quickly, to use to progress the rewards bar. However, this is tied to the main issue of the event itself, since there are about 14 locations that can be pulled from whenever you use 1 stamina. The issue is, most only give items but don’t progress the rewards bar (only 3 give progress consistently, 9 give progress out so infrequently or don’t get rolled often enough for it matter, 1 requires premium currency to access and doesn’t give progress, and the last 1 is a paid shop). I wouldn’t mind this as much if the 2 rolls that require premium/real money weren’t in the pool or didn’t cost stamina when rolled since they are rolled often, but since you need 540 perfect rolls (gives 50 points to the event bar), at minimum, to get the event Fellow, having rolls that don’t progress the rewards bar basically forces the players to purchase stamina packs in order to even have a chance of earning the 27,000 points needed to get the Fellow.
Would have given the game a better score if this event didn’t set the tone for how inaccessible event rewards are going to be.

Summary: Events, so far, are geared towards paid players due to RNG pool being bloated with rolls that don’t progress the event’s reward bar.

I’ve been enjoying my gameplay so far, but the rumors are true. To really see progress and keep things moving, money is a big factor into the gameplay. I’ve spent a little here and there to get some of the vip fellows and family and have been fairly pleased with the quick progress just buying - let’s say the battle pass gave me. But it was just a small boost and to keep up, it asks for more and more. I don’t mind spending money for rewarding bundles, but in moderation.

Moving along, I was excited for the Tou - Amaterasu event. It looked promising and fun. It’s easy enough to participate in and follows the formula of other quick events happening. The downside is, it’s not as rewarding as a timed event should be. Popularity is built up for summon Kagura to dance. Doing so costs stamina. To support her dance even more stamina. Each drum to support costs even more stamina. That is to say, stamina is likely depleated just getting to this point. But don’t worry, spend money or crystals for more and you can keep going! Okay. Use the crystals you saved or spend money to do so, fine. But what do you get for pushing Kagura through her dance? A basic item. A key for a chest you may or may not have. Fine. There’s a chance for a pull on her banner- but that banner only gives you more basic items or a fragment. The numbers are even lower to actually pull the limited characters.

Even if you spend money, getting the features rare character Amaterasu is 0 to none because getting her repute points is all in rng. The entire server was excited for her appearance and all that waiting to see if we’d finally be rewarded was just for another chest key. Not pulls on the banner. Not shards for her. Just a key that a lot of f2p players commented not even having. So what good is a key to them?

I spent money on the annual pass cause I had hope for this game. It’s really fun, but I’m not made of money. I got bills. I’m finding my purchases a mistake. Hopefully things can change in the future. Make these events worth it for everyone. Not just for those who pay.
