Hello, I never typically write reviews but I’ve reached the Gold Tier competitively and wanted to share some thoughts.The game is definitely focused on the competitive player. If you enjoy a game that’s rewarding to master the mechanics, this is for you. It’s felt gratifying to fight for a hard earned victory in battle mode against an evenly matched player, and the server connectivity is build for not getting disconnected during an intense match.I would say casual players will not enjoy the game as much, but fortunately there is a casual only mode if that floats your boat and like the cute and well designed characters (mechanically and visually).My only suggestions are slightly more variety in course layout, which I’m sure will be added. I think if the developers want this game to stick around, they’re going to have to make the drop rates on the Gatcha a little more generous, or allow you to unlock characters via the Gold Pass. That being said, you do get quite a lot of free gems for completing challenges, I’ve unlocked one character and rolled the Gatcha a number of times, and without spending money except on the Gold Pass.

Scroll for the details on pros and cons. TLDR; too many issues for me to justify. Some major good points in my personal opinion, but until they decide to fix a lot of issues/ improve the game as a whole, my playing this will be VERY limited. Pros:-Gameplay itself is pretty fun and rewarding based on the challenge/ skill development. -Nice graphics. -Easy to understand controls. -Fun environment.-Chests (in game rewards for certain accomplishments) can contain decent items for character/ club upgrades. Cons:-Gacha system has worse payout of any I’ve ever played. -Completion of achievements gets you next to no in game rewards. Outside of chests and some limited amounts of currency, everything is paywalled and high price. F2P in this game is going to be a struggle as your club shot length is determined by how high you can upgrade them as well as “spirit rank” (aka how many times you have received THAT particular club through rewards, gacha, etc.)-Instructions on how to perform certain shots is very vague and unclear. Putting especially. Learn to be good on your own or stink at it eternally. -Assisted shots are X% likely to sink based on varying conditions, but they rarely stand up to that % chance. Example: 79% chance to sink putt with assisted shooting sinks (by my math taken from data in my account) roughly 57% of the time.

The game is really fun, the mechanics work well, and I haven’t found any bugs yet, so I would say it’s worth your time! One gripe I have with the game is that there isn’t really anything for you to do single player other than practice at the driving range. I feel like this game could be really popular if you were to implement some sort of story mode or campaign, where you have to finish a course in a given amount of swings and such. Another problem is that there is a real lack of content other than the clothing and clubs. The clothing is very lackluster, and the clubs seem to be rare to find. You can go a long time without unlocking anything new, and when you finally unlock something, it is likely to be a visor or something for your character to wear.Also, it takes a long time to get a match. I don’t know if it’s because of a low player base or because of the servers, but it consistently takes over a minute to get into a game. This game is really fun, and with some added content or matchmaking fixes this game could be a big hit!

So let’s start out with what’s good:-controls are difficult to master but rewarding-the characters are lively and each play a bit differently -graphically very nice-chat options encourage a happy, positive community But unfortunately we also have the bad:-game is an absolute grind. Upgrades are quite expensive compared to what you receive for winning, and even the quests have extremely low payouts. Premium currency is barely available for f2p after the initial boosts they give you to start. I’m talking getting maybe 75 per day, 50 of which go to your once daily box, the rest gets saved to do a 250 currency box at best once a week. -lots of bugs. Lost many matches from game just deciding to end the match. Ran into issues where game would tell me every shot was unplayable (even from fairway) and that I needed to take a drop with no opt out option. Won games, then would get to win screen where I was told I lost. -bots. Now, not so many as I’ve seen in some golf games, but when you run into them it’s obvious because they hit their shots instantly not taking time to aim and yet always end up with great results.
