Not Exactly A Hero: Story Game - Game Review
I've played this on my other phone and the story is actually pretty fun. The only thing that I don't like is the ad system. I mean, I'm okay with watching ads to get tickets since this is just a free game, I guess ads are the only way to make a profit from this game but the thing is, you have to wait some time to watch more ads so basically, we're limited to watch ads to get tickets which is kind of ridiculous, to be honest. I'm not a big fan of their UI design but the artsyle is beautiful! Overall, it's a nice game with a great story.
