WALL OF TEXT AHEAD. Please take your time to read everything.
The game has a really high potential to be one of the best ones of its genre. I have played this game for a couple of months and there are a couple of things I want to say.
- Shikigami's or in other words the heroes that you use in the game. A lot and I mean a lot of the shikis that are in the game are so overpowered that it is not even funny.
- You wanna play solo in rank? Guess what, prepare to have your magnificent booty kicked to Mars by premade teams. And dont even get me started about Chinese players with a 5 man squad against your poor squad of unknowns where the said team just runs over you with a road roller till even your soul has gone flat like your enjoyment.
- THE GAME IS LAGGY AS ALL HELL. By Odin's beard this MOBA is laggy, one game you are playing it at like 22ms the next it turns into 420 blaze it (It seems the ping caps at the said number). From what I have seen and read it seems that this stems from the fact that anyone from across the globe can play on any darn server they want. Not that I have anything wrong with Chinese players but they are mainly the reasons why most of your games turn into red. Like seriously you cant even join clashes properly because it is so laggy that all you can do is spam all your buttons and pray to Arceus above that you are doing something.
- Queue time takes forever. Ah yes, one of the biggest flaws of this game aside from the laggy servers. Once you hit a decently high rank your queue time turns from seconds to minutes. I once sat on queue looking for a match for an entire 5 minutes. Devs say they are trying to fix it but this has been plaguing the game for a very very long time and a fix for it has not been found (Let me know if you find it )
I could add more but I dont wanna keep you more than I already had. All in all I dont recommend spending money in this game. Zeus knows I regret it.
TLDR: Game good, Servers and Matchmaking bad.
Hey! You made it all the way to the end. Have a virtual cookie!
I suggest you pick the "Traditional Chinese" version instead.
Also, adding more crossover Shikis would be awesome.

Despite my negative review, OA is still my favorite MOBA on mobile, it's just the matches quite often feels unbearable.
Based on my experience:
1. This game punish solo players.
If the enemy team has a party of 3, 4, or full team (5), it's GUARANTEED that I will get inexperienced (or just terrible) team. Yes, there aren't much players compared to other popular MOBA games, but really? At least give me team with decent overall rating! There's no way that this is only happens to me, other solo players must be getting the same treatment as me. - Some events also might be kind of gatekeeped by forcing you to play with somebody, it's just not my thing. I didn't play a lot recently but I think that's what was happened with the 7th Anniversary event. The events are actually great, lots of nice free stuff, I've only spent tiny bit of money on this game and most of the skins I have are freebies.
2. If someone says that OA is the most balanced MOBA, you are free to believe that, but my (probably biased) judgement says: some Characters are over buffed, on the other hand, there are some that's unplayable. I'm not even surprised if they do that intentionally, buffing popular characters in favor of players that has been and will continuosusly spending much $$$ for OA. Let's say that it's true, it's understandable? I guess? because those players keeping the game alive. Don't take this seriously, I'm only joking.
3. The devs definitely aware of the playerbase, they've been simplifying character's kits/abilities, so they are so much more easier to play, releasing new characters that takes little to no effort to learn and play, and I believe they even removed one of the rank; Gold, so it's from Silver right away to Plat. - It is a normal thing if the matchmaking blessed you with a clueless player(s) in your team even when you are in a "high" rank.
The Onmyodo (Runes, something like that), also become very simple.
There are more to say but this is should be enough insight for you, whether you want to give it a try or not, to put it short, if you don't have friends to play with or just prefer to play alone, forget that OA even exist.
It's a dilemma, giving a bad rating will discourage people to try the game while the main issue of the game is probably lack of players which make the matchmaking isn't very nice, but...
- My impression.
For me, this is the best MOBA. The best balance. I'm always back to install this game to play MOBA. I have tried Mobile Legends, Arena of Valor, League of Legends: Wild Rift. The best balance in the game is still Onmyoji Arena.
- Why the players are small in number?
In my opinion, because this game is an Anime-like style game, so not many people will play and try this game. This is a targeted game (in my opinion). Even the game is best in balance than other MOBAs, people might not interested to try this game.
[edit1]
- Matchmaking (since 2021)
Matchmaking now is fast. I think the game has more population. It is a great news and cool!
[/edit1]
- About lag.
Lag is vary. I'm not experiencing delay or lag.
- Pricing.
Good. For me, it is worth to spend money for Shikigami skin. You can enjoy your Shikigami with vary skins. Your skin not determine your play. Just enjoy buying skins for your Shikigami. Please don't judge other people. This game was published, downloaded, and played by many people with many motivations or purposes. Our own motivation/purpose may not the same as other people.
Matchmaking time is quite long(not surprised because not many players)
Graphics Top Notch
Skins Top Notch (and always give free skin depends on luck you can get a Epic/Legendary or whatever you called it even the*free low tier* skin are nice as heckkk)
Their had their own song and mv for their game(Luv it)
Internet Consistency is not good (i have really good internet so its not my side's problem)
Luv the spectator mode with a few really nice functions
Overall balance ish... Heroes/Champions/Shikigami (except Mouba aka Truck-chan)
"Emblem" no need to be upgraded so its fair for all players
Player Matchmaking in casual is sometimes bug...? 3/5 times u get the same rank players but 2/5 times u get players wayyy higher ranking than you or wayyy lower ranking
Hope Wada YT post more of this game😭😂
Overall i enjoyed the game a lot
graphical wise, its generally pretty good. i originally came here because i loved Onmyoji RPG. however there is a common bug whereas, your sound ingame suddenly goes slient which ruins the game experience in my personal opinion. storyline wise, the story is only brought to you by skins or from ORPG. skins + their effects are genuinely pretty good and can be better in comparison with other mobas, such as MLBB as an example. the gameplay produces a fair fight between both teams. as you dont have the option to level up skill trees or anything of that unlike mlbb or aov as an example. in my opinion, when it comes to fairness in gameplay OA is possibly your best choice MOBA wise. however, their is a big, common problem among this game. which is the lack of players due to netease not caring about global as much compared to their favorite child, china. supposedly, only cn are only allowed to have the vast majority of collabs there which sucks for basically anyone outside of the cn server. another problem which causes the lack of players is obviously the lack of advertising netease puts into this game which is disappointing, due to the fact that this game has so much potential but it has been wasted to a company who only focuses onto cn servers.
It's a really fun game and probably one of the best MOBA I've ever played. The graphic is undoubtedly nice and really cool, probably being a weeb here but I love the Japanese theme of this game. Love the music and really fun to play especially with friends. But two flaw tho, if you hv a phone with low storage, make sure you got enough storage, like mine, without even a single progress, the game already take up 6 gb of my storage, lol. Secondly, matchmaking time can be quite long, I use Asian server and the matchaking time can exceed to almost 4 minutes and averagely, it took around 1-3 minutes normally. BUT, if you're using any server other than Asia, you guys need to be patient because I heard that it can take up to 10 minutes. Just hope this game get popular, since more player can make the matchmaking easier.
After playing so much MOBAs in my opinion OA is the top 1 in gameplay and strategy, about throwing cash in this game is worth(skins with best effect according how expensive it is) , not like almost others MOBAs to buy skin to get a little buff(in game), about network not lagging(95-120) or matchmaking(3sec - 1:25 mins) (consider when back from daily work times or Sunday).. worth to invest for long terms in OA...
*Bad grammar dont point it.. just my comment for OA (;-p)
3year playing this game, and stuck in master. alright.. its not the big problem in here ok.
graphic is so cool, you can might speechless when you begin play. trust me.
but since this game too big for people who have potato phone. so it's not popular, and the dev him self *ahem* do not advertisement this game. of course, this game so dead.
this game just have people who alway being feeder, and make some another account to feeder. lol, Im pissed off when find player like that.
and the matchmaking? damn.. I suggest do not play this game in morning, or afternoon. you might waiting a long long matchmaking, and when you find the matchmaking that took long. BOOM! your teammates being feeder like sdfghjk
but overall, this game is good. I don't have any signal problem. just that.. matchmaking like hell.
I know, I should complain about that with the dev. but.. the dev himself didn't want to seeing my complain.
smh. oh right..
this moba is different like another moba, this moba you can change the voice of your attack and defend with voice the character you have. that's why Im still stuck with this game. all of the voice character is so DAMN GREAT LIKE HOLY MOLY MOTHER!
lol.. and all skill chacter is unique, and make you curious to trying all of them.
welp, you should play this game. and trying yourself.
Your main is mage? then sucks to be you cause this moba game doesn't even let you have fun with it...
unlike other moba game where mage heroes are something to fear of, you just gonna be meal treat for other shikigamis cause ninja and samurai are just too overpowered and can even one-hit kill you since mage & support shikigamis has the lowest hp and those shikigamis has bs passive for example: 20%-40% armor penetrate and when you combine it with weapon, god knows how broken that will be..
