Some improvements I hope are coming

So I have been playing this game for, who knows how long. And I have found that this game is very unique in the fact that it has an original art style for a gacha game, and the way they implemented pvp. But one thing that I find this game is lacking is a skip battle feature, where you can either have tickets or use your stamina to skip a battle, and get randomly generated rewards fitting that stage. I would find this update most useful with the beli stages where you can get more in-game money, because you burn through the beli like nobody’s business, it’s annoying sometimes. The only reason why I don’t play this game as often is because of something like this. Now it doesn’t mean that the game isn’t fun, because this game is very very fun to play and it has gotten better in terms of its player friendliness. That’s why the fact that so many other popular games, aside from this one have already implemented a skip battle feature, and this one you still have to grind and wait several minutes to clear a stage, is a little annoying and upsetting. I hope someone over at Bandai reads this, because this is one of the oldest gacha games, if not THE oldest gacha game, and we are getting some great updates, yes. But the updates we want are either not coming, or are further down along the line.

Fun but in dire need of an overhaul

Treasure cruise is fun. It's core gameplay is easy to understand, the art and animations are really cool, and it's a nice, chill game that's perfect for those who don't want a really action heavy game like bounty rush. However, this game, in it's current state, is deeply flawed. Being a gacha, you have to summon for new units. However, the rates are seriously not great. Typically, a new unit's rate is 0.25%, which is absolutely abysmal. You're typically not going to get a new unit unless you go to pity. Additionally, the game's premium currency, rainbow diamonds, are not easy to get and you are heavily encouraged to spend money. This game's UI is also incredibly confusing and quite frankly very ugly. Treasure cruise is 10 years old now and it still has the aspect ratio of a phone from 2014. There's also way too many upgrade systems and different upgrade currencies to keep track of, which can feel incredibly intimidating to new players. Although the list of bad seemed really bad, this game is fun. It's good heavily outweighs it's flaws, and if you play during a big celebration (such as the currently ongoing 10th anniversary campaign at time of writing), you can easily get tons and tons of rewards. Give this a shot if you're a One Piece fan.

Overpriced pay-to-win and less opportunities to enjoy the game.

As mentioned on the Fb post, I’m starting to realize something after 8 pulls and no new character.. you guys are trying to make money out us to make up for the lack of money to fund the game or lack thereof direct labor, materials, overhead. I’ve spent over hundreds of dollars on the game and to find out that even 8 pulls and no new character, something is up. The sales for the rainbow gems aren’t really sales it’s a “sales” tactic to get people to buy even when the prices are high. Supply and demand is what it sounds like trying to sell it at market price? Let me guess you guys aren’t making enough revenue to reduce the prices either that or a large number of people are willing to throw hundreds of dollars to chance the characters are the target group and the people who don’t have that kind of money is taken advantage of. The thought of “we will find a way” to purchase train of thought is not going to work you guys try to supply something we want and believe we will purchase at the high price no matter what however with the prices that high and to chance 100 dollars for not even 3 summons.. I might as well make a donation 😂 even then my money compared to what’s being offered the value difference not worth it and I’m sure hundreds of others feel the same. In summary, I’ll give this game a 1 star rating hope others follow.

Fun game that needs improvement

I’ve been playing this game for going on 3 years and while I love One Piece and the game overall there are some things that need some massive improvements. The 1st being pull rates. The pull rates for the newest Sugo characters are trash. Rate boosted should actually mean something. We shouldn’t have a higher chance to pull an old, no longer useful, non-featured or rate boosted unit then one that is featured/rate-boosted. It really disincentives users from pulling. The 2nd thing that needs improvement are the gem costs. There is no reason that it should cost so much for so little return. Add that to the fact that “gem sales” aren’t actual sales (no price reduction) makes it unappealing to actually spend money on the game. Finally, the way they have handled a recent glitch within the game shows that they don’t actually care about the players because they are too worried about taking care about their bottom line. Take a not from Cygames which after player displeasure with certain actions taken have become widely accepted by many as a great developer which cares about its user base. In summary, fix the rates of pulling characters that are featured/rate-boosted, lower the price of gems/actually provide price cut gem sales, and actually prove that you care about your users otherwise this review is staying at 1 star.

Greediest Gacha Game in the market

Where to start? The rates for the games Rare Recruits is horrible. Bandai lies about the rates. You get crappy units that aren’t of any use after spending hard earned gems. Which mind you take months to save up for. Tons of units that are amazing don’t come back ever. Forcing you to purchase gems. They make it impossible to get good Legends and boost the good ones extremely low. Even if you spend a thousand dollars you wouldn’t even get the amazing Legend you want. That’s how bad it is. So saving gems is worthless and so is buying them. They make the content way too focused on SPECIFIC UNITS which only the new Legends are capable of clearing and are good for a month or two before a new one comes out repeating said cycle from above. They treat their player base like crap and see them as breathing piggy banks. Only wanting money, are incompetent in fixing issues, and punish their players for any errors they have made. STAY AWAY from this steaming pile of trash. Don’t give this greedy piece of crap any more money . They don’t deserve anything. It will be the best decision you could’ve ever made.

We are not second class customers

I have been playing this game for almost 3 years and I love it. But the low rating comes in due the fact that this game’s version, a.k.a. Global version, has been treated with less transparency then its Japanese counterpart. This lack of transparency is in much part due to the lack of laws in the US and other counties where global version is played. Namely, that the randomness of the characters acquired trough pulls with Gems that are obtained trough playing and by buying them is much less than the randomness used in the global version. It is important to know that in the Japanese version that rates for the probabilities of obtaining a character is clearly displayed in the Japanese version, but this is not the case for the global version. This, and the large data collected recently supporting the belief that the rates are tampered with has made thousand of players like me raise our voices in protest for the way Bandai/Namco os handling it’s business. I am a F2P customer, and I would never, I repeat, never spend a penny on this game. But there are other players that spend thousands of dollars, and they are being taken advantage of! Once this company comes clean and transparent about the rates, I would be more then happy to rate the game 5 starts because it truly is a beautiful game to play more so if you are a fan of One Piece like me.

Disappointed

Hello, I played this game roughly around when it first came out. I stopped playing because I felt the game was to hard to play through with my free to play crew. I had some good characters but it was truly unplayable for me. Now I download and they give you shanks and Beckman after the tutorial. They didn’t do that before. My crew was luffy gaimon and some grunts for the beginning levels. I used to have to grind for turtles for exp, now I have to more lobster feasts(exp) and than I know what to do with. I am gifted several gems and have pulled several sugo rares. Now I beat any level because I have a maxed out crew of sugo rares + one five star. I tested it on a level I had to use a extra gem to refill my health bar(clash lagoon) with my team back in the day. Now I beat that boss with a single attack that I missed. What’s the point in playing if ima beat every level like it’s nothing. I downloaded this game with the hope of having some challenges and feeling of success when I got pass a tough boss, or when I got lucky enough to get a sugo rare. The game no longer has those aspects. It is night and day from what it used to be. I may still keep it to collect gems and pull characters cuz I am a fan of the series.

Poor rates

It’s impressive, really. How can the rates be so awful? Like, absurdly awful. If I’m lucky, I’ll get 1 of the banner characters after 15 multis. I am not exaggerating when I say that. This game is definitely deceptive in its pull rates for characters. It boggles my mind that the BANNER character does not have a boosted rate. Honestly, I’ve lost a lot of interest in the game because of how disappointing pulling for characters is. Every single time I pull, I just end up feeling defeated and regretful. Sure, the game has some good content, but a lot of it has become too repetitive for me, and way too difficult. As others have said, if you don’t pull on the event banners, and somehow actually get one of the banner characters, you’re really in for a rough time to try and compete or even succeed at acquiring the event rewards. I give this game 1 star, and I’m truly surprised that this game has such a high rating… I’ve been playing for 3 years, and at first I enjoyed this game, I still do at times, but something really needs to be done about their huge character amount in their gacha pool that really needs to be trimmed down. I’ll still login and do some dailies, but the events are just a chore now. Maybe I’ll find some interest again, but I doubt it.
