Crunchyroll: Sweet Sins 2

I was a major fan of the original Sweet Sins 2 game by Platonic Games, I even completed the entire game, so I know how this game should run. Needless to say, when I came back to redownload the game for nostalgia, I was severely disappointed when I found out the game was now owned by Crunchyroll. As easy it would be to give this game a one star review just because it’s now behind a paywall, I’m not giving this one star for that reason. No, I attempted to play the game, and this is what the review will be about. 1. The Paywall This is one of the easier things to criticize the game about, the fact that the once free-to-play game is now locked behind a paywall, and completely inaccessible unless you have a Crunchyroll account. Not only does this decision anger the fans of the original game, this decision also turns away any new players who do not want to make an account just to play a rhythm game. While I understand the business decision to do this, to acquire new people to sign up for Crunchyroll, this may be the worst way to go about it. The fact the game is unplayable unless you have an account creates the embarrassing image of a desperate company begging for new people by plastering their brand on an already well-made game. If this decision must be done, then I wouldn’t have recommended to go about it like this. Either republish the game with no sign-ups, and instead full of ads about Crunchyroll in order to get money that way and possible new sign-ups (not the most humble of choices, however), OR republish the game with an option to X out of the sign-up screen, allowing people with Crunchyroll accounts to play the game ad-free, and people with no account to still play the game, except with ads. 2. The Credits While this isn’t a major issue compared to everything else, me and many other fans of the original Sweet Sins 2 find it disrespectful to Platonic Games, the original developers, that they’re sidelined with their creation of the game to be replaced by advertisements of Crunchyroll. 3. The Coding This has to be one of my biggest complaints about this version of the game. Now, I understand that coding is very difficult to do, however there is no good excuse when the entire game was already created by a different company, the coding well made and everything. As I began to play this new Crunchyroll version, it seemed okay at first, however something I noticed was that the screen that asked for a rating had < Color=#53D8FF›Sweet Sins 2

This is a nice game overall, but i cant claim my boosters. Please fix

I used to play this game a lot a few years ago on my old phone. Tried to pick it up again recently only to find out crunchyroll snatched it up and locked it behind a paywall. This isn’t the first time this has happened either. Just a couple months ago I remembered kawaii kitchen just to be met with the 12 dollar a month paywall. This is ridiculous to take FREE to play games and lock them behind a subscription service. I also find it hilariously disrespectful that “crunchyroll LLC” is now listed as the developer instead of the ACTUAL DEVS. Crunchyroll didn’t develop anything. Platonic games did. These games existed for years before crunchyroll came along and bought them out. If you’re gonna profit off their games at least credit the actual creators.

uhm so when i tried to redownload this game 2 years later and i came to this nightmare. crunchyroll has infected sweet sins superstars.. im so fed up rn. nah man you’re a loser for doing this.. all that YOU want is just money and to advertise your fricking crunchyroll app. if you bring back the version WITHOUT the crunchyroll thingy, then i wont force my parents to sue you.💀 🙏

Love this game, but ever since I redownloaded it, Crunchyroll pops up every time and I can’t open the actual game. It wants me to get Crunchyrool premium before it lets me play it, it won’t let my select anything anything else either.

why do we have to get premium just to play crunchyroll didnt have this game then? so why have it now?

so i just thought of a game i used to play so i downloaded it and then there it was i HAD to pay to play nothing else no decline option i either paid or deleted

It’s a fun game. I enjoy it. It remind of piano tiles.

I have been playing Beatstar for a long time, and was looking for something a little cuter, and this fits the bill! Fun critters and pretty colors - a great relaxing rhythm game! 💜

This used to be for free and I came back to see my favorite game is gone because I can’t even play it for free and I can’t waste money on just a subscription it used to be fun but I can’t stand this I just want to play for free;(
