This is one of the most highly anticipated games of summer and it lives up to its hype. The whole thing just screams "Harry Potter!"
You got yeeted to another world through a magic mirror where Disney villains are portrayed as ikemens and ended up in a magical institute called "Knight Ravens College". Upon your arrival you met a feral kitty on the loose(called Grimm) who says that he's gonna become TW's greatest magician. You've also met the flamboyant headmaster of the school(his catchphrase:"Because I'm a nice person!"). Back at the dormitory the 7 dorm leaders are having a sorting hat initiation for the new students. The magic mirror tells you that there isn't anything special about you since you have 0 magic. You tell them it's because you came from another world and you want to go back where you came from, the headmaster agrees to help you. With nowhere else to go, you ended up staying at the institute as u discover the dark secrets of the dormitories.
Since the game is heavily focused on the story, it'll receive alot of criticism from the En community. The graphics and UI are really nice, it reminds me of Obey Me! The gameplay has 2 modes, "auto-battle" and "Rhythmic", once you've finished the tutorials the lesson modes such as Flying, Alchemy, magic classes will be available. Thumbs up for the bgm. The gacha rate however is so-so. Overall do I enjoy it? Heck yes! there are still room for improvements and Im looking forward to the event platform.
[[edit: Pre-Registration users should also claim the milestone gifts before it expires]]
the graphics is so beautiful as well as the characters design ofcourse. been loving the game since i first played this on april. though, i always uninstall this then install again because my phone can’t handle the size that much lmfao ( i check the size on my phone and it’s almost 4GB )
but it’s worth downloading in my opinion, even if my bad luck is always there. i’m really enjoying the storyline and its sound effects. i can also say that this game has a lot of potential and i’m looking forward to its improvements in the near updates !

.......ok late but *rolls sleeves up*
I really wasn't expecting to get so invested in this but here I am losing the remains of my sanity over Disney villain bishounens. (omg sorry for the bump it's an accident)
Here are my detailed thoughts about Twiste:
- Graphics -
• First thing first, thank god for Yana-sensei's art. It's SO PRETTY. And I like how they animated the sprites, it looks dynamic and the kind of animation suits the entire thing well. (AND THANK GOD FOR TROYCA STUDIO. The opening is great and I really just wanted to praise one of my favourite animation studios.)
Yana-sensei's illustrations are so gorgeous I could stare at them forever. It really makes me want All The Cards lol)
• I think the game looks really good in general. The logos are so pretty and the interface looks really nice too. Though if I had to point one thing out, it'd be that sometimes it took me time to find some things like the profile menu and stuff. Everything isn't all that intuitive and easy to find though it's fine once used to it.
- Sound -
• Oh boy this cast. It's perfect. _(:3 」∠ )_ *whispers thank you* At one point we even get to hear Hama-chan and I'm absolutely overly happy about it.
I'm so very excited for the day they'll be able to make character songs and drama CDs
• The sound quality and OST are pretty nice too overall though the music so far though not bad might be a little repetitive at times in my opinion, especially inside the rhythm game.
- Gameplay -
• The gameplay is overall simple and very easy and I like that it's very accessible. It becomes a little harder in the later songs for the rhythm game and need more card levelling and farming for the battles later on, which is a given I guess. I think it's a good thing that they kept things simple and accessible so new people don't struggle.
• The rhythm game is pretty interesting as it's mixed within the story and illustrates whatever is happening well.
Though if I had to point something out, it'd be that it's actually pretty hard to see where the notes are coming from. Sometimes it's too all over the place and my eyes can't follow properly leading to missing notes that should be really easy to get.
• LOOP-MODE FOR FARMING *worships them*
There is an auto-mode *AND* a loop-mode for farming which means just leaving the game running without having to do anything while getting weekly missions and card training etc done. This is absolutely wonderful. I want my other games to have loop mode too😭
- Storyline -
• It. Is. Great. I really love this and again wasn't expecting to get to invested in it. I'm so excited for what is to come next. I like how the story is written and absolutely love the parallels between the dorm leaders and the Disney villains they're each representing.
The way the introduce the Disney villains is also very fresh and neutral-positive which is something I really like as well.
• Everyone is so endearing in their own ways. Since we don't want spoilers I am not going into details here but god I cried so much real tears lol
• Edit: I don't know where to add this but since May they started doing events, and god. I love them. I love the cards, the sprites, the stories, it's all great😭💕
- Value -
• Gacha rate of 1.5%, normal kind of rate. Can't complain. (Especially when my other games have a rate of under 0.7% lol) I think it's pretty ok, especially there aren't that many cards yet and there is a guaranteed SSR after 100 pulls which I think is really nice! If only my other games did this as well....h
Edit: True though that 300 gems is a lot and pretty hard to get once past the beginning of the game when everything we did was rewarded with gems. Everyone ganbafight!!
And so! That's about it. I might edit some stuff later on I guess? But I think I said everything I wanted to say.
Thank you for reading!
The first time I heard about this game is from Twitter, from one of the people that I follow. So I became really curious of what all the hype is about.
When I first started playing I heven't had the idea that it will become one of my favourite games and honestly I'm still surprised that I'm still playing and enjoying it.
The graphics are really pleasing to look at, the character models and the chibi's have great movement and well lip sync with their voices.
The sound is nice, the voice actors do a great job and the theme and tracks from the game are pleasant to hear.
Now, when it comes to the gameplay I have a problem. Let's start from the biggest one I have and it's the rhythm aspect. I have no problem with anything in the rhythm games except of the fact that sometimes the rhythm games just don't work.
The strategy part is just good, not great but it's not really problematic or anything.
The storyline is actually great! I usually really dislike otome games because the plot and story is just basic copy-paste and nothing too interesting. But this one is pretty good~!
Now, the gacha is really great compared to games like BanGDream. The whole thing about getting an SSR after 100 rolls is really sweet to be honest, and when it comes to the art itself is just really beautiful.
i love twisted wonderland, ever since i played this, i turned into a simp. Game's pretty enjoyable, i love the graphics, character design and their voice (the seiyuus did an amazing job, especially those that had to scream when their characters overblotted).
Plot is intriguing + dark and is well done! Character movements are smooth and unique to each character, their outfits can be a bit bizzare (cough Rook's hat) but it represents them! I love to see how each character moves in lessons, all of them are different when they go flying, answering a question or brewing!Their chibis are so cute!!
However the gameplay gets boring overtime, it's not that bad though. You can do other stuff when you have to go grind ^^ The battles are simple to understand and easy to defeat earlier on, the rhythm on the other hand is a bit funky and isn't the best. The stamina recovers at a decent rate compared to a lot of games that require grinding.
Gacha rates is tough but generous for a disney game, hard to get a SSR sadly but I love that SR cards has a beautiful art and still can be effective as the SSRs! I like that the game makes the MC a they/them or any gender that the player wants!
Overall, this game is cute and i'll recommend it to anyone who likes disney villians, good stories and unique gameplay!
It's been quite the wait but here it is! Graphics are very well-done, and with high-end phone models you can experience very smooth graphics and fully appreciate Yana Toboso's art! Soundtracks are great as well, I've been bopping to their main theme song months before and the OSTs are very Disney-like. Gameplay is meh, it's something you would play if you're really bored or just playing for the boys and their seiyuus (in my case). The battle mechanism is okay, and the rhythm section is mediocre.
For us international fans to fully-appreciate what the game has to offer, we need a global version. It's the story and commus each character has in store for us which wouls make us play more often. I'm still gonna play for now and wait for Epel's SSR, as well as Diasomnia to arrive (pls I need Lilia). Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty swell game, but there's nothing much unique within gameplay in terms of the market. Also, the character sprites are effin' adorable, one of the reasons I'll still play.
Hello there… Sincerely, I’m here to review Twisted Wonderland for you if you doubt to play this game or if you want to play this game but you don’t know a thing.
• Language. Maybe some of you have no idea why Twisted Wonderland doesn’t have an English option in language setting (even I doubt there is a language setting). Well, it’s simply because Twisted Wonderland hasn’t release in English server yet. What if you can’t read kanji, katakana, hiragana, or don’t know Japanese? Fear no more, there is fan-translating for main story on YouTube, personal story and voice lines on Wikipedia fandom and Tumblr although they didn’t translate all of them. For navigate the game, there is a tutorial on YouTube and it easy to understand the basic to play this game because there’s still some button or name that’s using English.
• I don’t have any issue with the gacha system although I always suck with gacha but it’s my own problem. Widely, it’s fair enough.
• It’s a rhythm game and (as far as I know because I’m still playing at Octavinelle’s episode) it has 2 different styles to play according to which chapter you play and what happen in that chapter. There are two 2-4 buttons in vertical or horizontal and some buttons that could fade away after you press it (kinda like osu!). About the music, almost all of them are instrumental music except some rhythm game from Pomefiore’s chapter. I admit it’s unique to using different style rhythm game but several players complained sometimes the rhythm game doesn’t synchro between when you pressed the screen and what happened in-game, to put it simple, sometimes it lags. I hope they fix it soon.
• Despite it’s a rhythm game, we could still enjoy another type game that is battle between two groups. The group from player have 5 member and the group from enemy side have 2-5 member but if you reach a chapter about an overblot character, you will against 1 character as the main boss. This system seems like Clash Royale and Obey Me! to me. If you ever play those games, you will feel some similarity so you can grasp how to manage this battle system in no time but I think you will take some times to understand each function for each item to upgrades your cards. Personally, I like their idea to put battle section so you don’t feel bored about the rhythm game because you could still do something else.
• You can train your card in Lesson that divided into 3 lesson that is flying lesson, history lesson, and alchemy lesson. You can gain different benefit according to what lesson you take. There is an auto and loop button so you don’t have to press the screen all the time. Maybe some of you saw it as a boring thing but if you already simp one of those characters from Twisted Wonderland, I tell you sweetie, it doesn’t matter anymore. Trust me
• I don’t have any problem with that white thing to start a lesson because it took short time to refill it and there are some items to refill it automatically without waiting.
• Both the voice actors and the staffs who made the music/song did a great job. They successfully bring the atmosphere of the whole NRC. No comment for them.
• If you asked me about the art, no doubt it’s a masterpiece because the main artist is YANA TOBOSO y’all! THANK YOU, YANA TOBOSO!! Because of you, I trust in Jade and Cater supremacy. Well done, you make me simp for them
I think I typed too long so that’s all from me. Have a nice day!
I won't talk about size and style or something like that. I want to review about the gameplay.
Gameplay is better than "geared toward girls" games out there but too bad it's like tone-down Magia Record, like child version of Magia Record... (and way, way easier FGO).
Personally I kinda wish the rhythm isn't there and the RPG aspect was more "heavy" with skill and such, but I guess since this is "girl game" this thing ended up not the priority.
At least for me quite enjoyable and much better than DMM-games style or standard management/rhythm games.
Rates... I really hope the units/characters are useful despite in low rarities like FGO or Magia Record. I wouldn't mind low rates if low rarity characters are good to play (since this game is still new, I don't know about usefulness. But if this is first aniplex gacha game you've ever played, yes the rates are terrible. Yet, so far these aniplex games aren't that P2W compared to other gacha games). Value? We will see about that after harder content one day get release.
BTW I'm waiting for Diasomnia to get release.
i really love the characters, art, and storyline but i just have to vent about the seeming incompetence of the people managing this game. It really hurts to watch this game ruin its own hype and seeing people gradually leave this game. The lack of new and worthwhile events, the apparent favoritism of some characters over others (poor diasomnia), the weird scheduling, the lack of communication, seeming lack of motivation to improve the game itself and focus on stuff outside the game (not to mention that they seem to forget about these projects like the anthologies, scale figures, the opening theme release)...
I have no idea what is going on behind the scenes, whether it's because of all the big companies involved in this project or they didn't hire enough people or whatever but I just wish they'd get their act together. I honestly feel like they're just going to shut down the game after ep 7 (whenever that's happening) bc they find it more trouble than it's worth.
So, I have played this game for about a few weeks now..
Relatively the gameplay for me revolves around classes (history, alchemy, flying) which i will play on loop most of the time, battles and rythmic. These three are mostly straight forward so I got the hang of it in about a few days.
However, for me as a beginner I'd have to say that you must do a little bit of research when it comes to leveling up your cards and making sure you pass those tests that unlock after you finish chapter 1. Reading the wikia helped me on this bit.
Overall, the gameplay is okay for me it doesn't take up too much of my time and it's a good game for me when I just need to pass time. What's really the big hook for me is the game's story, it's very rich from the main story to the event and even the card's stories makes me feel very fulfilled.
The tutorial however kinda made me feel like I just watched a whole episode 1 of an anime.
However, the rhythmic part of this app can get a little frustrating.. sometimes it's not even your fault but the game itself, especially for new songs. They'll eventually fix it of course.
All in all, nice simple gameplay, very rich story with a huge dose of cute and hot bois.
