I have been playing this game for the last couple of months, and absolutely love it. I have had no issues until today. When I initially downloaded, I noticed it said that there hasn’t been an update in over a year, but being new to the game, that is fine for me because I was still working on collecting different clothing items, parts, and leveling up, but today I went to play, and was sad to see the game would not load past the first screen. Out of no where, having no issues prior. I obviously checked my internet connection, closed and reopened the app multiple times, shut down my phone completely and powered back on, and even deleted and redownloaded the app, and nothing helped. I saw on Reddit that others had similar issues when FIRST downloading the game, however I’m so disappointed that it seemingly crashed out of nowhere after having no issues for so long. I loved fantage so much when it was around, and this game has been so nostalgic and fun to play, I would love love love, to see this bug fixed, as well as more updates in the future!

The game is so nostalgic obviously, and that makes a lot of it very fun, but nostalgia only takes you so far. The game doesn’t seem to have any strategy to it. Bots will beat you with clothing that seemingly doesn’t make any sense compared to what you are wearing. I lost a fashion show to a bot wearing only hair (the rest of the items were white one star items that did not match the theme). Once you reach a certain level, the bots become more difficult and you gain access to more theme options, which is extremely grating when you can barely get enough coins to even purchase a 3 star item or craft one. Not to mention, these bots will starting wearing even more 3 star items at one time. It’s not just difficult for F2P users, it is also difficult to P2W. When you purchase coins or diamonds to purchase other materials. You don’t even get that many materials for the amount you’re spending when you take into consideration how many materials you actually need to make an item. At that point you’re spending as much on the item as you would actual clothes in real life. If there were some mechanics to see what the theme the items were and actually make them line up instead of giving the bots some type of boost that allows them to win with barely any clothes that fit the theme and are just fancy 3 star items.

I was a loyal and extremely dedicated Fantage user (from 2011 until the end) and was very sad to witness its decrease in popularity and charm over the years. I was extremely upset to hear the news that it would be shutting down. That game was my childhood, and no other game could compare. I’m really hoping that this game is able to reach a wider audience and become as popular as Fantage. This game has a lot of potential, and I love the aspect of building your clothing and working for what you own. That’s something that Fantage lost towards the end of its run, as the game sought after users to spend more money on gold and memberships, which left nonmembers with little to nothing, resulting in an unenjoyable experience. I really wish that the developers would invest in more public outreach. Since Fantage’s closing, I’ve been searching for alternatives and rewrites, and this game is the best i’ve seen, but was not easy to find. I only found this game after seeing 1 video about it when searching “Fantage” on tiktok. This game has my full support, and i’m hoping to see more updates in the future (and hoping to see it become a multiplayer game).

Fans of Fantage came to this game as a way to relieve their nostalgic memories of Fantage, but instead are mostly disappointed with multiple aspects of this game. Yes, playing the fashion show is fun, but the rewards and not rewarding enough and the themes are rigged by a star system (higher the level the clothing is, you don’t even have to follow the theme) meaning the NPCS wearing the complete opposite theme item still outwin you. There is not enough rewarding content for NPCs 1v1 fashion battle and there is not enough rewarding gameplay when it comes to the fashion show. on top of that, the premium currency is way too expensive, and pointless to buy considering the only thing you use them for are buying crafting items and then you don’t even get enough of that item. There are no other ways to get coins besides fashion show/battle or watching an ad every 2 hours and even then it’s still not rewarding. There is not enough ways to make coins, get crafting items, and on top of that you have to wait to get the tickets to play fashion show so you’re stuck waiting to even get 5 rolls of cloth just to lose to an NPC made to rigged the game. The game is fun with nostalgia and dressing up in the old Fantagian clothing, but it’s really not worth the hassle.
