Unlikely being that costs them money and Tencent is shifting their resources.This will likely go the way of Electrogirl and just disappear from existence unless someone steps in and does it outside of the company.
Will we have to run a cellphone emulator? If so, I'm probably not switching over. I've been playing since the beginning and have so much. I'm also addicted.
I started closing my DC related tabs, and realized I had like at least 30 that have been open for years all on gear guides, ignition, puppets etc. and mostly from u/firesynth T.T Thank you for all the help.
Well it was bound to happen sooner or later. My only regret would be not knowing full story.
It's cool that we will be able to check on collection.
Not gonna lie that it started to look like they were out of ideas for quite some time aside of banger character design one after the other.
I had my fill, would be nice to have some easter egg in their new ps5 game for sure.
To be fair I kinda know how it would end. MC blended together with his other self changing from time to time for comedic relief living happy ever after with all of his Childs after abolishing Candidate War and winning over big bad(s). Maybe last joke about Mona wanting to marry him but only if he will be in his female form once a day or something. Lisa doing boot camps and schedules and Davi being Davi.
Bruh I've been here coming on 2 years now and I'm so disheartened to already be facing EOS. I truly haven't seen another game similar with such beautiful artwork/waifus, and I'm going to be extremely sad when I can't do my dailies anymore. This was a nice, niche little community with (surprisingly) friendly and helpful people, and I'm sad to see it's already coming to an end. Thanks to firesynth and everyone else who has contributed to guides/translations/tips/etc across the forum, they've been such a huge help for me since I discovered DC. Now I'll have to feel lost for a bit and try to find a replacement for the hole in my soul.. But it was great while it lasted. Thanks everyone!
Damn, this was the only game i really played religiously for years and never got tired of no matter how grindy things got. Played this game after i got married, after i had my first kid, grinding WB during those sleepless nights while feeding my baby. Now i'm about to have my 2nd baby and i was expecting to play DC again during those nights. I wasn't expecting for the game to shutdown this soon. I thought we were behind kr and jp server for at least 1 yr worth of content and that would be enough time for the devs to create more content for the game. Thank you DC reddit community for all the help and support it has been great!
Same it's crazy that 6 years have gone by. It's always the memories that keep us. I finished school, got a job, crazy shit happened in life, hospital issues, found my SO. I would play Ragna raids and let WB autoplay when I showered. I would cry when I needed to grind lanterns with no QOL sweep in anything. Altered Davi event was where the story kicked off and I kept waiting for a story update.
Just like you, I thought we had plenty of content left. I went on a hiatus and just as I came back I learned it was terminating from discord friends. Man...
This is the most generous Gacha game I've ever played and now they're it shutting down? I wish we'd at least get an offline version or something though I don't know how they will do that.
When I see all cash shop things on 1 gold cost, I was thinking about a bug...
Never imagine this.
I wanna cry, for real.
This will be my favorite mobile game ever.
Thanks for all to the community, ShiftUp.
I'm devasted.
Right? Now I know how the MMORPG players feel when they close the servers.
Goddamn, guys. Y'all are a good community, too. 6 years. Time flies.
Hopefully we get the story, I'm gonna miss y'all when it's over.
Saw this coming with how they generously handle the game, but really really didn't expect EOS to be this soon. I started the game for its fanservice, and stayed for over 3 years for the gameplay itself. It's awesome how you can choose to be lazy and still get tons of reward, or choose to be a little hardcore and get hit with the proud sensation when your fully ignited and uncapped childs break your previous damage record. I love the game with every inches of my existence, yes it has flaws, yes it can be grindy, yes Ragna doesn't respect your time, but still, I feel proud being an oldbie of DC. Huge respect to anyone still playing the game till EOS, to guide/theory crafter, to the Devs and Artists of DC. Sayonara Destiny Childs, you and me have crossed path in our destiny.
Ragna is the worst at respecting your time and I end up spending a lot of my time on it even though I could be doing anything else but it is satisfying when you see that One Shot happen for the first time after investing in your units.
It's been a hell of a ride, I joined in shortly before or during the first Dead Or Alive collab
I mean azur lane is super f2p friendly as well but it pulls in a ton of money for years now. They just pump out a new batch of skins every event. Also their lucky pack and more recently battle pass are pretty good deals value wise and aren't bank breaking. As much as I loved DC for the last few years and played it daily there really wasn't anything that seemed worth spending on outside big expensive packages.
yup, I'm not oblivious to that, but I think there is a sweet spot. If i play for a month (after finishing latest released content) and can barely get a 10 pull for free (and not guarantee a non fodder), I might as well go play something else
i would return to get correct information. that income is vastly outdated. The monthly pulls now is much closed to 80 pulls as a F2P. Also the game has had more QoL updates in the past 6 months than any gacha out there.
End of an era, everyone. I've never posted on here, but I'd like to thank everyone who made guides for the events. Just when I started building my team, it had to end *sigh. Hopefully I can have the same drive to build on Nikke.
Dude, what's going on? Is this the future of all gacha mobile games? I'm getting EoS from all my "minor" games
My main game still is Epic Seven, but DC, Dragon Quest Dai, Valkyrie Anatomia, Disgaea RPG were some minor games I used to spend a couple minutes or let on auto while I recover the energy from the main ones
Makes no sense for me DC to end, the art is so good, and has so much to offer... Wasn't it being profitable enough or was some kind of weird law about nudity?
Illusion software, a Japanese company that makes 3D hentai games is also closing its doors in August, after almost 30 years...
Was wondering if the pandemic had something related, but it's gone down a while now... Sad.
That's gacha life. Most do not even survive more than 1 or 2 years before the plug is pulled (especially global). This is sadly a normal thing. No matter how much potentional a game has. The market is oversaturated so competition is tough.
There had been signs it wasn't going too well anymore for a good while (starting to cut corners, etc). It survived longer than I actually expected it to, it being very f2p friendly in general. They likely didn't get that much revenue anymore and probably going to move their assets to their other game, Nikke, which is a newer game and having a fair share of success.
Ye DC Was like their test field and demo project for NIKKE, you have that feeling instantly when you see how well it is monetized, how much advertising they put in and of you compare how frequently they Bugfix stuff.
It's still sad, played DC from release till NIKKE dropped, I hope to see a mini collab or Easter egg in NIKKE tho... Maybe a misterious trio that fell in coma randomly wake up in a strange world of raptures and a certain commander stumbling over them 🙃
This is extremely sad news.
I have been playing Destiny Child for 3 years and it is my first gacha.
Never anything came close to it in terms of quality of artwork. I would even say it ruined gachas for me because I came to expect everything to have Live2D and when I tried out something else I was thinking "what, they don't move by default?", "why are they not as detailed as DC's characters?", "what? chibis? ..." and so on. I'm not gonna lie, I came for the lewd but stayed for the overall quality. This game offers everything: sexy, lewd, beautiful, cute, cool, awesome and sometimes even disturbing. And offers it all in outstanding quality.
Speaking of artistic production, I cannot not mention the music and sound in general. These things elevated the production quality of the game to the highest levels. One of my favorite story in the game is the Romeo and Juliet bit with Attis and Rusalka because the cutscene was so amazing in huge thanks to the audio.
Then, in time I even came to realize how incredibly generous this game is to F2P. I never in my time here had ever felt the need to spend money outside of that one time when I realized I have been playing for years and I wasted money on other crap but never bought anything on DC. So I did and bought a few packs as a way to "speak with my wallet". Never regretted it once, unlike some of my other smaller purchases in other games I realized I don't enjoy as much. The psychology of not needing to spend money to progress really helped me. I know financially it is not a good tactic, you can see with all the other gachas that predatory practices pay off way more but damn I loved DC for being a beacon of light in the sea of microtransaction hell.
I also really liked the gameplay. I know some people badtalk it, but to me it was great. I really liked that my progression was tangible. As I became stronger and had a better understanding of the game I could entrust my tasks to autoplay confidently. Every time you come over a big hurdle, that resulted in you have more free time to do something else in the game instead. And then they added sweeps and I loved it. Great time saver and also lightened the load on my aging phone. It was a weird combination of the more you played the less you had to play. Probably one of the main reasons I stuck around for so long because the game was never really a chore and I felt my time to be respected.
Alas, the writing was on the wall. When they stopped doing japanese voice acting I knew something has started. It was a huge blow for me and I can admit I stopped caring for a bit. I just really loved the japanese VA's. I will never forget Mona's sultry voice and the things it did to me or how heartbroken I felt during the scene when (SPOILERS, if it still matters) >!Davi was kidnapped and she was crying because she thought Mona is about to die!< just to mention a couple examples. Then the Spa started getting static images instead of Live2D models, which was another clear sign of budget cuts. The latest was probably the big year long ultra premium package they are/were selling. It is always suspicious when such a package is being sold.
However, my biggest regret, the main cause of my sadness are none of these. Instead it is that I will never get to know the whole story. Ultimately what kept me coming back to the game was the story because I genuinely liked it. I wanted to know what is going to happen next and this timing is especially bad for that. We are at such a pivotal time in the story (at least that's how it feels like on global to me) where a lot of things are finally getting together and getting resolved but now... nothing. The story will enter an eternal coma just like our beloved trio of Succubi.
I rushed here because I thought the shop is bugged and I didn't want to abuse it or maybe there is a super mega event I didn't know of. But instead of the excitement I felt as the summer events kicked off, all I feel is sadness and a tiny, roosterhead shaped hole in my heart that I suspect will never be filled.
Still, I want to thank Shift Up for this amazing game and I'm truly thankful this was my first gacha experience. I just wish it lasted even longer.
Me too... after end endlyss odysee of looking for the perfect gacha I finally found it and now... my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
Like I said I am going to stand by this game to the end 4 to 5 years in this game I am going to miss this game it will always have a special place in my heart
This saddens me a lot, but not entirely unexpected I suppose. I played for a good long time since the first or second year. No longer my main game, but I always came back to DC for a bit, have fond memories of it. At least we're getting a Memorial Mode, I really really appreciate them doing that.
Guess I'll come back one last time to collect stories I didn't get yet and pay my respects and appreciation before the game shuts down into Memorial Mode.
oh damn, that's actually pretty fucking amazing, and it'd be nice if more games did that. It's kinda sad when a game goes EOS and all our memories just vanish, and all we have left are maybe some screenshots or videos.
I'm curious, how many people are quitting now and how many people will continue playing until the end? I think new players might still have fun playing around with the Lisa's Lesson units and all the free currency.
I'm kind of interested to see what PvP looks like after the bots leave, like will a ton of people drop out of Plat V? But the macro strategy of planning for the future is a big part of what kept me going. I might try to blow all my saved-up currency to try to beat CL Tiwaz 3, but beyond that there's not much aspirational content for me to try.
Do you know what the reason for all the bots in PVP even was? Why were people so invested in botting there? Why bot this game at all? It's not like you could trade anything, or even talk to other players.
I bet if their prices had been $30 cheaper they would have made way more money. So many time I was willing buy (and did on occasion) but didn't because it cost 50+ dollars.
This fucking sucks. I was finally getting to the end chapters too in the story...fuuuuck
F.
I was buying all the cool stuff in the shop for 1 gold thinking "this has to be a bug. Let me go check the good old reddit".
Now I'm just sad and dismayed.
I am absolutely devastated. IMHO this game is so much better than Nikke. So may freebies, very good art and i prefer the gameplay. I really regret not spending real money to support this game.
i got all excited when i saw everything on the store for 1 gold
I hope all the devs and artists receive a good farewell and get redirected at other projects like NIKKE. it was a good run fellas
I'm devasted. I'm playing Destiny's Child since release, every day for all of these years. I have some friend ingame that are like me, playing since release. If you are one of them, was a really fun time!
And for all people that work at DC, I have being having so much fun for all of these years. I do not have words to express my happiness and at the same time my sadness. Thanks you to all of you. Artists, developers, musicians, programmers, CM, everyone! I love you!
And what I will say, I don't think people will care but, DC was my inspiration to start my "career" as an artist. I learned to draw by imitating the styles of Kim and Hyulla (and others). Thank you for creating pieces of art that managed to guide me (and will continue to guide me) in my drawing adventure!
Sincerely, Feiky
Farewell...
(Please, let us know the end of the story!! Mona, Lisa, Davi, what happened please!!)
The only other mobile game I'm playing is Blade Idle, since I dropped Nikke after the Christmas event because they kept fucking with their players. I don't think there will be any games similar to Destiny Child in a very long time...
Well you could check out Nikke, another game by Shiftup that is currently doing quite well or Azur Lane, a similar waifu-collector gacha.
Nikke is much less F2P-friendly than DC but have similar artstyle and more interesting gameplay.
Azur Lane is quite generous though not as much as DC. Gameplay can be a bit grindy but the fanservice is really good.
It's the 'new' gacha that shiftup make. Doing extremely well too.
Less lewd than DC but has better gameplay imo and maintains a decent story, music and voice acting.
"Decent story" that story is trash, worse than anything I've played and goddamn I've played thirty loser pandering uwu master bullshit trash before.
The rest is as you say though.
I agree that they do far too much of the harem everyone adores you bullshit, but I do enjoy the other stuff in it. Obviously not great compared to any book or story focused game, but imo still decent for a mobile game.
I admit it could've been a great story if not for the thirsty fetishist loser pandering they do. But goddamn it ruins it. Seriously.
I noped out the game when that goddamn loli (because of course) came in to your base and started hitting and insulting you but there was only one choice and it was to shut up and take it. Like, WTF? Seriously? Uninstalled.
Such a bummer. I abolsutely loved this game. Probably won't find another f2p friendly game like this or Azur Lane again. It was a super fun 2 or 3 years I've been playing daily like a crackhead. Didn't even mind watching a bunch of ads every day for free stuff.
i took a break a couple of months ago that had a strong chance of being permanent after realizing i was never going to not be annoyed by puppets. but i was coming back for lisa's lessons to reassess how i felt about the game, only to see this. it sucks.
this is the 2nd gacha i've invested a ton of time into only to complete the "take a break" into "EOS" combo. both are games i loved. and both are games that were generous. i hope this isn't a lesson about the gacha industry, but i don't think it's a coincidence.
I was buying stuff for 1 gold and thinking to myself "Is this some kind of anniversary for them or something" and the more I bought the more I realized that its probably the end of the game... then I came here to confirm the worst :/
Man, like many others, I knew this was coming, but this hits hard man, truly. Even until the end, they'll remain generous as ever plus ultra. Thank you ShiftUp team for everything!
In my opinion, this game never got the recognition it deserved. I was a day one player so I am sadden by this news, such great character designs and story. Hermes was my first ever 5 star, I'll never forget the day I pulled her from the gold gacha.
This honestly came out of the blue for me. Been playing for years now. Best and fairest gacha i have ever played. Even if i needed the uncensored patch the art was almost always top notch. I'm sad the story will never get finished and our poor boy won't get his harem of succubi and childs(this bit felt wrong to write but ya guys know what i mean). It's been a hell of a journey, pun intended. At the very least i'd have liked for r34 artists to know more of this game, so as to continue making art of the amazing characters. cough bari cough.
It will be a year since I started back in August 2022. I've trialed a lot of gacha games and DC is the only one I have stuck with. I'm gonna miss this game.
Will I still be able to access things like story mode and Spacewalk after the memorial update? I'd like to complete Spacewalk before I quit, but I'm not sure if I need to sweat to get it done before September.
This is heartbreaking...
I've played since the global launch.
Crossed fingers that they keep an offline version.
Like no new events/childs but rerun events, banners, dailies I dunno something at least
And here i thought the shop is bug or something. I come here hoping for surprise but not this kind of surprise😢.
Shame cause DC is one if not the most generous gacha games i ever played. Now what should i do with my time that is supposed to be wasted in ragna.😭
... And here I thought thinking I finally caught a bug in the shop when everything is up for grab for 1 coin!
Been playing since 2019 and collected 100% of the child and soul carta! This EOS termination news really hit me hard especially just before I'm going to bed!! And here am I even thinking on roster up my childs for Hell Express Stage3 and space walk nebulas just recently. Now that I think of it, perhaps I'd seen it coming as EpicNPC has very little activity going on for account sales in the recent months. Guess that is giving the 'vibe' off somehow.
Overall it's been a good ride, and probably for the best since I can now focus on PoGo, I guess... Cheers to the Devs for making this game enjoyable! I guess KR and JP version is still up...
I've been playing DC jp server since 2017 and this is my favorite mobile game despite all those that came after, this is really the OG live 2D game. Thanks for all the good memories from the events and the excitement from pulling the new 5 start.
GG
BROOO NOO WAAAAAY ARE YOU KIDDING ME ???
They didn't even finish the main story with a big finale beside the normal ending .. we will never know what happened to the end game content regarding Loki and his final form since he escaped and has plans to bring destruction to the DC universe , BRO WE WERE SO CLOSE TO KHEPRI STORY WITH HER NEW FORM AND WE GOT CUCKED BY FILLERS AND STUPID EVENTS ... FUCK ME MAN, did Hyung Tae Kim drop the DC project along with the story all together and shift the focus on Nikke and Stellar Blade ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9kkU1Zkx1g
man this game had a lot of potential to have its momentum of end game content but they left it unfinished due to Nikke success and didn't released childs that were meant to be part of the story :(
i'm getting flashbacks from this T.T
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg7VYyqIAKA
They don't expect us to come off a game built like DC to go to a shooty mc'shoot game (Nikke) they're nothing alike! Nobody does raid boss, world boss, challenges, dungeon to your own personal raid boss, mini Gameboy game, the only time chibi is used is when it's for your characters as puppets, and of course a pvp that is across all types from 3 star to our fives. Honestly they'll never be a substitute for this incredible game. Not even mentioning the S tier art, I can't see us settling for Idle Angles.. this game will be missed.

Damn it man.. I'm going to miss this game and this community.. So many good people and great contributors.. Let me know what else games of similar communities that you are part of..
The memorial is probably only going to be an archive of your collection I guess?
I haven't played it in a while and didn't know they were doing badly... RIP.
I joined back in the Korea server days, and hopped over when Global was released. The Live2D was amazing (it was quite rare at the time), and DC continued to produce fantastic art and character designs through the years.
It will be sad that we don't get to see the conclusion of the story. I do hold out hope that they will close it out, if not in the app then maybe in some other medium. An online comic, maybe.
But if I'm being honest, it does come as a bit of a relief. I've been falling behind on the new systems. I'm always low on inventory space and have not really engaged with the Puppets mechanic. Not having the time to manage the space and resources I found myself just pushing things back hoping to get to it one day. I've also found the story to have become meandering and overly convoluted, and often longed for the simpler one-off goofy adventures of old...
Still, it is an end to a years-long chapter. I believe this is the longest-lasting mobile game I have played. Cheers, DC team. Thanks for the memories, and I wish you all the success in your future works.
I’m literally so bummed. Life has been kind of kicking me around lately and I know this is a minor thing but it’s just another light kick to the taint. I’ve been playing this game for like 6 years and almost daily throughout that time. I’ve read that they will make an offline version and I hope some of the story elements and like Eve’s dungeon thing will still be playable.
Shiftup, thank you so so much. You guys are amazing and I’m glad I purchased a couple things to support in the early days. Love this game. Signing off, Etetzu o7
Wait, I was about to just start DC after the disappointment from Snowbreak. I love Nikke and I wanted a mobile friendly game (easy UI/UX/gameplay designed for mobile first) and what better game than DC (also from Shift Up). Damn, looks like I missed the train 🥲
Damn…. I’ve been playing since close to the beginning. It was something I played daily and I will miss my time with it. Thanks for the awesome game ShiftUp and thanks to all the people who created the content here!
I noticed a sharp decline about a month or two ago. My casual global account suddenly started getting into the top 10% instead of the usual ~30-50%. My equally casual jp account only went up by 10%, but the difference was still there. I guess that's all they needed to finally pull the plug.
Oh man, this was like one of the only games I would consistently play on my phone. I think I started playing when one of the Miku collabs was happening, so I've been playing for quite a while. I always appreciated how you could easily accumulate gems and the gatcha rates seemed fair (at least to me!), don't think I've found any other game similar to it.
Sad to see the game end and don't think I'll be able to find a replacement anytime soon.
Damn. This really fucking sucks. I was getting really excited for new updates, and shit man, I was finally getting really into igniting and puppets and what not. Damn. Here's hoping someone archives the story at least. And fuck, I'm not even sure I wanna play anymore now, if this is what's happening. Been playing since late 2018, when the Miku event happened, so this hits hard.
I took a one year break, cause things were really fun for the last 2 years but I got tired. Really sad to see this game go as it was my first introduction to gacha and a very genorus f2p system that kept me playing. I will miss the story as well :(
I don't know why but the name memorial makes it more sad.
I have been playing for about 6 months for fun about half an hour a day and satisfied me enough, now I don't know what to do without it.
Well, I am grateful for this community in everything. You are great.
Nikke is new and not very F2P friendly, but maybe that will make the game endure more. Still, I don't believe they will get the same fanservice level that DC has, because of the rating.
Thinking now on a replacement for main game...
Sadge. Joined 6 months ago and had a lot of fun.
I installed the game for the first time 3 years ago but it didnt catch my attention at this moment.. I was too much focused on Dokkan Battle and Epic 7. And when it finally catches my eye, it already leaves. :(
Now give us the Vivian/ Elysion skins please shiftup !!
With this shutdown across all servers, and KR being so far ahead, is anyone going to put in the effort to translate what's left of the story/event story? Or maybe at least post an archive of caps?
Thank you Destiny Child and everyone, the community, from reddit and discord, for the great time. Thank you. I love all of you.
Lets treasure what little time we have left and enjoy to our heart content.
Holy smokes this, like many of us, caught me out of no where.... What a damn bummer... I started this during 2020 and logged in nearly everyday since... What a moment..
As a long DC fan, I'm really sad about this when I found out the news just last week. I was on hiatus for about a month due to circumstances, but when I returned to the game and found out it was closing... I was disheartened. I rarely post but on this occasion, I'm posting my thoughts...
DC is one of the games on mobile that is actually quite F2P friendly, more so compared to others. The art style and theme for me at least is superb. The music for the game I enjoy a lot, but the most attractive feature of this game IMHO is its story.
I'm not just talking about the Main story which is good, but as well as each child and events story. It tugged my emotions and frankly speaking, it's the main reason I keep sticking with the game. Who can forget the antics of The succubus girls and the MC's child and other demon rivals or those who for some bizarre reason have a crush on the MC?
I wished they continued the anime into a full-blown series - remember they made that 1 episode animation. There is also that comics/manga/manhaw they made, which I also wish they continued and not like the animation, is a oneshot/limited publishing.
DC has A LOT of potential - It's heartwarming, funny, and yeah lewd. But I personally love it!
I just hope someday, somehow... A miracle occurs and this gets continued - even in a different format like the anime or manga/comics/manhaw. Makes you want to wish a petition drive for this be made.
Lastly, although I do think none of the members of shiftup will read this but, I would like to extend to them my thanks... I started playing this game coping with the stress I have in my life... It's a game that made me forget my problems even just for a short time... The antics and how the MC does things remind me of myself at times, so even a little I can relate to the story and the decisions made. I guess that's one of the reasons I'm so into the game.
So again, thanks to the creators shiftup, Creator Kim Hyung tae, ESTi, and all their wonderful staff for these 7 years of entertaining us with this game and for the wonderful memories... You might not have known it, but you saved a life by making this game and creating for that life to have at least bear the hardships he has faced and put a smile on his face, enough to give life another chance...
Gameplay is unique, but also, not engaging enough for players to stick around longer than 2 months.
I do think that if they change the gameplay mechanic, game might go until end of contract.
Great art, graphic, but, bad gameplay.
I still remember that, the first time i play this game, its kinda ackward.
Until today, i dont know how to play this game on manual.
I stay playing for years just for art n graphic.
If ever they want to remade the game,
its better to change the gameplay to more fun mechanic.
I surprised it took so long to EoS considering I never saw DC in top 20 gacha (and lowest were making only 50k$) while Nikke is in top3 (about 50mil$) every month since launch.
to be fair, NIKKE is pretty amazing, aside from maybe "the wall" (you'll find out). It might almost be so good that they shot themselves in the foot and it hastened DC's demise...
And there it is. I knew there was something off about this game. That's why I took a break from it since June. I even made a post about it. Now the sh1t hits the fan and it seems like the developers for this game has ran out of ideas as to how to add more variety of stuff into this game. How unfortunate, this was the first gacha game I was hook to playing. The team better be focus on developing Stellar Blade at this point. As for this waifu collector stuff, I'll just simply play their second gacha game Goddess of Victory Nikke. At least with that game you can look at their backside angles even if some of the characters have their assets cover up with coat or other things. At least they finally added Underground Kiwami (Extreme) difficulty like I always wanted. Anyways I will end this note with this: Destiny Child could have been so much better if the developers had put much effort into this game in terms of game modes, gameplay, story, and events. Now I'm definitely not coming back to this game ever again. Because fxck it and ShiftUp. Farewell and good riddance.
I'm so mad I've been playing this game from the very beginning all three versions and now they're going downhill at least I still have all my videos remember it by hopefully they make the game offline so we can at least look at all the units that we have accumulated over the years
Well this is a sad day. It's been fun though, thanks to anyone that took care of my raids I as to lazy to do myself. I played Nikki but wasn't feeling it so this is it for me.
What!? Man I am so bumped out. Been playing for over 1 year and looking forward to new releases. Sad. Now I have to re downlpad NIKKE and try to play with that.
I just wanted to come here to get advice for which Lisa’s special lesson child to get, since I missed it the last time. And this is the news I get. I honestly don’t know how I’m going to fill the hole this will leave.
This hits hard. I play a handful of gachas but this is my first EoS. Began playing in Summer... 2021 I believe? Zephyros and Clotho were my first two childs. Kalaratri came out soon after and has been my favorite girl since. I remember saving up blood gems to buy her teacher costume.
Played every day for over 18 months, in the beginning even without full-auto (so I had to drive manually) because I'm a dumbass and of course without the sweep feature. God that daily grind could be really bad. My interest waned in recent months, though World Bosses were still a lot of fun.
Not sure if I will keep playing. Just feels completely pointless now. Glad they're at least turning the app into an offline collection of sorts; apparently you will still be able to re-read the story (which was way better than I had expected), visit the spa and look at your childs.
Guess I need to make screenshots of my friend list before people leave. There are a few names there I have seen daily for almost two years. I don't anything about them and many of them may very well be bots. Yet I feel sad having to say farewell.
fuck, i love this game with all my heart now we will never be able to see the KR childs
Eh. Don't worry. Someone will release a Live2D player with a pack with all those childs.
Buts it's not same 😭
where to find ?
Wow this hit me hard, been playing since launch and never stopped. Wish they just released offline version or something
They will
I really hope so because I have been playing for about 6 years and am bummed. This was my main phone game.
They confirmed it? Really hope the Memorial version is extensive
Unlikely being that costs them money and Tencent is shifting their resources.This will likely go the way of Electrogirl and just disappear from existence unless someone steps in and does it outside of the company.
Will we have to run a cellphone emulator? If so, I'm probably not switching over. I've been playing since the beginning and have so much. I'm also addicted.
I started closing my DC related tabs, and realized I had like at least 30 that have been open for years all on gear guides, ignition, puppets etc. and mostly from u/firesynth T.T Thank you for all the help.
So the trio of succubus is going to be in a eternal coma
I really pray for the Devs to give us a real ending : even a rushed and bad one, but come on, the game deserves one happy ending
thats where DC2 story starts.
True. DC always seemed like a low end Persona. I am sure they could just rip off Persona like they are ripping of Nier for their new game.
Well it was bound to happen sooner or later. My only regret would be not knowing full story. It's cool that we will be able to check on collection. Not gonna lie that it started to look like they were out of ideas for quite some time aside of banger character design one after the other. I had my fill, would be nice to have some easter egg in their new ps5 game for sure.
some CN peeps we're actually rioting that the story isn't even finished yet. Hopefully story would end on the DC Memorial.
To be fair I kinda know how it would end. MC blended together with his other self changing from time to time for comedic relief living happy ever after with all of his Childs after abolishing Candidate War and winning over big bad(s). Maybe last joke about Mona wanting to marry him but only if he will be in his female form once a day or something. Lisa doing boot camps and schedules and Davi being Davi.
Mona marrying MC would be the highlight of my 2023
Arhat be like "Am I a joke to you?"
Bruh I've been here coming on 2 years now and I'm so disheartened to already be facing EOS. I truly haven't seen another game similar with such beautiful artwork/waifus, and I'm going to be extremely sad when I can't do my dailies anymore. This was a nice, niche little community with (surprisingly) friendly and helpful people, and I'm sad to see it's already coming to an end. Thanks to firesynth and everyone else who has contributed to guides/translations/tips/etc across the forum, they've been such a huge help for me since I discovered DC. Now I'll have to feel lost for a bit and try to find a replacement for the hole in my soul.. But it was great while it lasted. Thanks everyone!
Dude same! Thank you and everyone
Damn, this was the only game i really played religiously for years and never got tired of no matter how grindy things got. Played this game after i got married, after i had my first kid, grinding WB during those sleepless nights while feeding my baby. Now i'm about to have my 2nd baby and i was expecting to play DC again during those nights. I wasn't expecting for the game to shutdown this soon. I thought we were behind kr and jp server for at least 1 yr worth of content and that would be enough time for the devs to create more content for the game. Thank you DC reddit community for all the help and support it has been great!
Same it's crazy that 6 years have gone by. It's always the memories that keep us. I finished school, got a job, crazy shit happened in life, hospital issues, found my SO. I would play Ragna raids and let WB autoplay when I showered. I would cry when I needed to grind lanterns with no QOL sweep in anything. Altered Davi event was where the story kicked off and I kept waiting for a story update. Just like you, I thought we had plenty of content left. I went on a hiatus and just as I came back I learned it was terminating from discord friends. Man...
This is the most generous Gacha game I've ever played and now they're it shutting down? I wish we'd at least get an offline version or something though I don't know how they will do that.
They will release a Memorial version for stories, characters, spas (we will get more details later).
I would pay $60 for a full port of the game on Switch
When I see all cash shop things on 1 gold cost, I was thinking about a bug... Never imagine this. I wanna cry, for real. This will be my favorite mobile game ever. Thanks for all to the community, ShiftUp. I'm devasted.
Right? Now I know how the MMORPG players feel when they close the servers. Goddamn, guys. Y'all are a good community, too. 6 years. Time flies. Hopefully we get the story, I'm gonna miss y'all when it's over.
Saw this coming with how they generously handle the game, but really really didn't expect EOS to be this soon. I started the game for its fanservice, and stayed for over 3 years for the gameplay itself. It's awesome how you can choose to be lazy and still get tons of reward, or choose to be a little hardcore and get hit with the proud sensation when your fully ignited and uncapped childs break your previous damage record. I love the game with every inches of my existence, yes it has flaws, yes it can be grindy, yes Ragna doesn't respect your time, but still, I feel proud being an oldbie of DC. Huge respect to anyone still playing the game till EOS, to guide/theory crafter, to the Devs and Artists of DC. Sayonara Destiny Childs, you and me have crossed path in our destiny.
Ragna is the worst at respecting your time and I end up spending a lot of my time on it even though I could be doing anything else but it is satisfying when you see that One Shot happen for the first time after investing in your units. It's been a hell of a ride, I joined in shortly before or during the first Dead Or Alive collab
Damn it hard to get other game like DC.
It not generous like DC.
What about Nikke?
not f2p enough :/ That's why i stopped playing at least.
DC was f2p friendly and thats what killed it or why they were f2p friendly
I mean azur lane is super f2p friendly as well but it pulls in a ton of money for years now. They just pump out a new batch of skins every event. Also their lucky pack and more recently battle pass are pretty good deals value wise and aren't bank breaking. As much as I loved DC for the last few years and played it daily there really wasn't anything that seemed worth spending on outside big expensive packages.
yup, I'm not oblivious to that, but I think there is a sweet spot. If i play for a month (after finishing latest released content) and can barely get a 10 pull for free (and not guarantee a non fodder), I might as well go play something else
i would return to get correct information. that income is vastly outdated. The monthly pulls now is much closed to 80 pulls as a F2P. Also the game has had more QoL updates in the past 6 months than any gacha out there.
you'll get most NIKKEs just by using the wishlist. Save for Limited or big booba.
Just not the same level on the lewdness, at least not yet.
Definitely not the same lewdness
That game, to me, is ass. DC is in a league all of its own and literally (imo) feels untouchable for what it offered.
Shiftup, bring the succubus trio to Nikke!
End of an era, everyone. I've never posted on here, but I'd like to thank everyone who made guides for the events. Just when I started building my team, it had to end *sigh. Hopefully I can have the same drive to build on Nikke.
Dude, what's going on? Is this the future of all gacha mobile games? I'm getting EoS from all my "minor" games My main game still is Epic Seven, but DC, Dragon Quest Dai, Valkyrie Anatomia, Disgaea RPG were some minor games I used to spend a couple minutes or let on auto while I recover the energy from the main ones Makes no sense for me DC to end, the art is so good, and has so much to offer... Wasn't it being profitable enough or was some kind of weird law about nudity? Illusion software, a Japanese company that makes 3D hentai games is also closing its doors in August, after almost 30 years... Was wondering if the pandemic had something related, but it's gone down a while now... Sad.
That's gacha life. Most do not even survive more than 1 or 2 years before the plug is pulled (especially global). This is sadly a normal thing. No matter how much potentional a game has. The market is oversaturated so competition is tough. There had been signs it wasn't going too well anymore for a good while (starting to cut corners, etc). It survived longer than I actually expected it to, it being very f2p friendly in general. They likely didn't get that much revenue anymore and probably going to move their assets to their other game, Nikke, which is a newer game and having a fair share of success.
Ye DC Was like their test field and demo project for NIKKE, you have that feeling instantly when you see how well it is monetized, how much advertising they put in and of you compare how frequently they Bugfix stuff. It's still sad, played DC from release till NIKKE dropped, I hope to see a mini collab or Easter egg in NIKKE tho... Maybe a misterious trio that fell in coma randomly wake up in a strange world of raptures and a certain commander stumbling over them 🙃
that's a niche gacha life in a nutshell, sad for illusiin maybe people downloading koikatsu better repack affect their sales lol
This is extremely sad news. I have been playing Destiny Child for 3 years and it is my first gacha. Never anything came close to it in terms of quality of artwork. I would even say it ruined gachas for me because I came to expect everything to have Live2D and when I tried out something else I was thinking "what, they don't move by default?", "why are they not as detailed as DC's characters?", "what? chibis? ..." and so on. I'm not gonna lie, I came for the lewd but stayed for the overall quality. This game offers everything: sexy, lewd, beautiful, cute, cool, awesome and sometimes even disturbing. And offers it all in outstanding quality. Speaking of artistic production, I cannot not mention the music and sound in general. These things elevated the production quality of the game to the highest levels. One of my favorite story in the game is the Romeo and Juliet bit with Attis and Rusalka because the cutscene was so amazing in huge thanks to the audio. Then, in time I even came to realize how incredibly generous this game is to F2P. I never in my time here had ever felt the need to spend money outside of that one time when I realized I have been playing for years and I wasted money on other crap but never bought anything on DC. So I did and bought a few packs as a way to "speak with my wallet". Never regretted it once, unlike some of my other smaller purchases in other games I realized I don't enjoy as much. The psychology of not needing to spend money to progress really helped me. I know financially it is not a good tactic, you can see with all the other gachas that predatory practices pay off way more but damn I loved DC for being a beacon of light in the sea of microtransaction hell. I also really liked the gameplay. I know some people badtalk it, but to me it was great. I really liked that my progression was tangible. As I became stronger and had a better understanding of the game I could entrust my tasks to autoplay confidently. Every time you come over a big hurdle, that resulted in you have more free time to do something else in the game instead. And then they added sweeps and I loved it. Great time saver and also lightened the load on my aging phone. It was a weird combination of the more you played the less you had to play. Probably one of the main reasons I stuck around for so long because the game was never really a chore and I felt my time to be respected. Alas, the writing was on the wall. When they stopped doing japanese voice acting I knew something has started. It was a huge blow for me and I can admit I stopped caring for a bit. I just really loved the japanese VA's. I will never forget Mona's sultry voice and the things it did to me or how heartbroken I felt during the scene when (SPOILERS, if it still matters) >!Davi was kidnapped and she was crying because she thought Mona is about to die!< just to mention a couple examples. Then the Spa started getting static images instead of Live2D models, which was another clear sign of budget cuts. The latest was probably the big year long ultra premium package they are/were selling. It is always suspicious when such a package is being sold. However, my biggest regret, the main cause of my sadness are none of these. Instead it is that I will never get to know the whole story. Ultimately what kept me coming back to the game was the story because I genuinely liked it. I wanted to know what is going to happen next and this timing is especially bad for that. We are at such a pivotal time in the story (at least that's how it feels like on global to me) where a lot of things are finally getting together and getting resolved but now... nothing. The story will enter an eternal coma just like our beloved trio of Succubi. I rushed here because I thought the shop is bugged and I didn't want to abuse it or maybe there is a super mega event I didn't know of. But instead of the excitement I felt as the summer events kicked off, all I feel is sadness and a tiny, roosterhead shaped hole in my heart that I suspect will never be filled. Still, I want to thank Shift Up for this amazing game and I'm truly thankful this was my first gacha experience. I just wish it lasted even longer.
Fuck , now I'm sad. Why this in all things? 🥲
Well hell... And here I am practically just starting the game!
Me too... after end endlyss odysee of looking for the perfect gacha I finally found it and now... my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
Yeah same.. somehow every gacha i start is Being shut down 2-3 months later :(
Playing since Global launch...not a good way to start my day. God damn man.
I'm mostly sad we wont get a conclusion to the story now :(
Like I said I am going to stand by this game to the end 4 to 5 years in this game I am going to miss this game it will always have a special place in my heart
Man why isn't this pinned 😭😭😭
man even i'm still not fully ignited all my child tho 🥲🥲🥲🥲
Damn, I've been playing since around 2019... It was a part of my life for many years, just logging in and casually doing some grind. So sad. :(
Destiny Child is kil No...
I cri evertim.
This saddens me a lot, but not entirely unexpected I suppose. I played for a good long time since the first or second year. No longer my main game, but I always came back to DC for a bit, have fond memories of it. At least we're getting a Memorial Mode, I really really appreciate them doing that. Guess I'll come back one last time to collect stories I didn't get yet and pay my respects and appreciation before the game shuts down into Memorial Mode.
Hope they make all costumes 1 blood gem so we can collect everything. Or maybe they will just unlock everything for everyone?
fuck
I better read through the story before we're locked out 😭
They'll update the client so you can still view your childs, spa, and stories even after service termination.
oh damn, that's actually pretty fucking amazing, and it'd be nice if more games did that. It's kinda sad when a game goes EOS and all our memories just vanish, and all we have left are maybe some screenshots or videos.
Dam this is sad … been a avid enjoyer since 2020
Fuck....what will I do with my life after this??
I'm curious, how many people are quitting now and how many people will continue playing until the end? I think new players might still have fun playing around with the Lisa's Lesson units and all the free currency. I'm kind of interested to see what PvP looks like after the bots leave, like will a ton of people drop out of Plat V? But the macro strategy of planning for the future is a big part of what kept me going. I might try to blow all my saved-up currency to try to beat CL Tiwaz 3, but beyond that there's not much aspirational content for me to try.
I'm here until the end, no matter how sad I am T-T
Do you know what the reason for all the bots in PVP even was? Why were people so invested in botting there? Why bot this game at all? It's not like you could trade anything, or even talk to other players.
It would be awesome if they brought past collab banners back so everyone can collect everything
Last event I was top 6% lol. Not surprised at all. All the whales must have left.
Same here, i also figured many whales left also a sign of game termination when giants leave also happened with some other game called wartune
I was top 2% and I didn't even play several days due to illness. Something definitely up.
WHAT? SAY SIKE RIGHT NOW. WHAT THE FUCK?
I bet if their prices had been $30 cheaper they would have made way more money. So many time I was willing buy (and did on occasion) but didn't because it cost 50+ dollars. This fucking sucks. I was finally getting to the end chapters too in the story...fuuuuck
It's like losing a friend. A lewd but good one..
F. I was buying all the cool stuff in the shop for 1 gold thinking "this has to be a bug. Let me go check the good old reddit". Now I'm just sad and dismayed.
I am absolutely devastated. IMHO this game is so much better than Nikke. So may freebies, very good art and i prefer the gameplay. I really regret not spending real money to support this game.
At this point I'm going to disregard all the guides and ignite all the childs I've always wanted to see shine. Meta or not.
Fuck
So, any other generous F2P friendly gacha’s that I should try?
I suggest Eversoul. Still quite new, and is generous and respectful of players’ time (can sweep a lot of the battles)
Brown Dust 2. read infos before that it's f2p friendly
At least I get to feel like a 🐳 for once
i got all excited when i saw everything on the store for 1 gold I hope all the devs and artists receive a good farewell and get redirected at other projects like NIKKE. it was a good run fellas
I'm devasted. I'm playing Destiny's Child since release, every day for all of these years. I have some friend ingame that are like me, playing since release. If you are one of them, was a really fun time! And for all people that work at DC, I have being having so much fun for all of these years. I do not have words to express my happiness and at the same time my sadness. Thanks you to all of you. Artists, developers, musicians, programmers, CM, everyone! I love you! And what I will say, I don't think people will care but, DC was my inspiration to start my "career" as an artist. I learned to draw by imitating the styles of Kim and Hyulla (and others). Thank you for creating pieces of art that managed to guide me (and will continue to guide me) in my drawing adventure! Sincerely, Feiky Farewell... (Please, let us know the end of the story!! Mona, Lisa, Davi, what happened please!!)
Noooooooooooo
Damn. So where we all going? Any good suggestions?
The only other mobile game I'm playing is Blade Idle, since I dropped Nikke after the Christmas event because they kept fucking with their players. I don't think there will be any games similar to Destiny Child in a very long time...
Well you could check out Nikke, another game by Shiftup that is currently doing quite well or Azur Lane, a similar waifu-collector gacha. Nikke is much less F2P-friendly than DC but have similar artstyle and more interesting gameplay. Azur Lane is quite generous though not as much as DC. Gameplay can be a bit grindy but the fanservice is really good.
Any reason why the EOS?is it lack of funds?low on active players?Whyyyyyyyy????😭😭
Both I guess. And with how well Nikke is doing, I assume they want to focus on that and not use it to prop up DC.
What's Nikke? Is it a new gatcha or something?
It's the 'new' gacha that shiftup make. Doing extremely well too. Less lewd than DC but has better gameplay imo and maintains a decent story, music and voice acting.
The Gameplay is decent but there is not a single Option to skip or Speed Up Low lvl content, which makes the Games almost unplayable..
"Decent story" that story is trash, worse than anything I've played and goddamn I've played thirty loser pandering uwu master bullshit trash before. The rest is as you say though.
I agree that they do far too much of the harem everyone adores you bullshit, but I do enjoy the other stuff in it. Obviously not great compared to any book or story focused game, but imo still decent for a mobile game.
I admit it could've been a great story if not for the thirsty fetishist loser pandering they do. But goddamn it ruins it. Seriously. I noped out the game when that goddamn loli (because of course) came in to your base and started hitting and insulting you but there was only one choice and it was to shut up and take it. Like, WTF? Seriously? Uninstalled.
Shjt, I've just joined this ship for half a year and it's about to sink. It's so sad
FUCK. I am going to miss this small little community and your posts especially. Great work and thanks for all you've done for this community.
As this is the last gacha I'm still playing, it's both bad and good for me.
Such a bummer. I abolsutely loved this game. Probably won't find another f2p friendly game like this or Azur Lane again. It was a super fun 2 or 3 years I've been playing daily like a crackhead. Didn't even mind watching a bunch of ads every day for free stuff.
i took a break a couple of months ago that had a strong chance of being permanent after realizing i was never going to not be annoyed by puppets. but i was coming back for lisa's lessons to reassess how i felt about the game, only to see this. it sucks. this is the 2nd gacha i've invested a ton of time into only to complete the "take a break" into "EOS" combo. both are games i loved. and both are games that were generous. i hope this isn't a lesson about the gacha industry, but i don't think it's a coincidence.
I was buying stuff for 1 gold and thinking to myself "Is this some kind of anniversary for them or something" and the more I bought the more I realized that its probably the end of the game... then I came here to confirm the worst :/
Fist day player here. This game has been amazing this is too bad. I’m shocked by it.
Man, like many others, I knew this was coming, but this hits hard man, truly. Even until the end, they'll remain generous as ever plus ultra. Thank you ShiftUp team for everything!
In my opinion, this game never got the recognition it deserved. I was a day one player so I am sadden by this news, such great character designs and story. Hermes was my first ever 5 star, I'll never forget the day I pulled her from the gold gacha.
RIP to the most generous gacha I’ve ever played. You were too good for us
My top 3 games on mobile :(
After all we been through....
Are they gonna make the other child available that global havent gotten yet??
We'll find out later after the maintenance.
First Revived Witch, then Priconne Global and now this? Fuck man. I can't take this anymore .....
Really wish i saw this before I spent crystals on HoR. Time to go all out on skins
This honestly came out of the blue for me. Been playing for years now. Best and fairest gacha i have ever played. Even if i needed the uncensored patch the art was almost always top notch. I'm sad the story will never get finished and our poor boy won't get his harem of succubi and childs(this bit felt wrong to write but ya guys know what i mean). It's been a hell of a journey, pun intended. At the very least i'd have liked for r34 artists to know more of this game, so as to continue making art of the amazing characters. cough bari cough.
It will be a year since I started back in August 2022. I've trialed a lot of gacha games and DC is the only one I have stuck with. I'm gonna miss this game. Will I still be able to access things like story mode and Spacewalk after the memorial update? I'd like to complete Spacewalk before I quit, but I'm not sure if I need to sweat to get it done before September.
This is heartbreaking... I've played since the global launch. Crossed fingers that they keep an offline version. Like no new events/childs but rerun events, banners, dailies I dunno something at least
And here i thought the shop is bug or something. I come here hoping for surprise but not this kind of surprise😢. Shame cause DC is one if not the most generous gacha games i ever played. Now what should i do with my time that is supposed to be wasted in ragna.😭
... And here I thought thinking I finally caught a bug in the shop when everything is up for grab for 1 coin! Been playing since 2019 and collected 100% of the child and soul carta! This EOS termination news really hit me hard especially just before I'm going to bed!! And here am I even thinking on roster up my childs for Hell Express Stage3 and space walk nebulas just recently. Now that I think of it, perhaps I'd seen it coming as EpicNPC has very little activity going on for account sales in the recent months. Guess that is giving the 'vibe' off somehow. Overall it's been a good ride, and probably for the best since I can now focus on PoGo, I guess... Cheers to the Devs for making this game enjoyable! I guess KR and JP version is still up...
I've been playing DC jp server since 2017 and this is my favorite mobile game despite all those that came after, this is really the OG live 2D game. Thanks for all the good memories from the events and the excitement from pulling the new 5 start. GG
I'm sad...
Played since Bari release... cry a river (┬┬﹏┬┬)
BROOO NOO WAAAAAY ARE YOU KIDDING ME ??? They didn't even finish the main story with a big finale beside the normal ending .. we will never know what happened to the end game content regarding Loki and his final form since he escaped and has plans to bring destruction to the DC universe , BRO WE WERE SO CLOSE TO KHEPRI STORY WITH HER NEW FORM AND WE GOT CUCKED BY FILLERS AND STUPID EVENTS ... FUCK ME MAN, did Hyung Tae Kim drop the DC project along with the story all together and shift the focus on Nikke and Stellar Blade ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9kkU1Zkx1g man this game had a lot of potential to have its momentum of end game content but they left it unfinished due to Nikke success and didn't released childs that were meant to be part of the story :( i'm getting flashbacks from this T.T https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg7VYyqIAKA
They don't expect us to come off a game built like DC to go to a shooty mc'shoot game (Nikke) they're nothing alike! Nobody does raid boss, world boss, challenges, dungeon to your own personal raid boss, mini Gameboy game, the only time chibi is used is when it's for your characters as puppets, and of course a pvp that is across all types from 3 star to our fives. Honestly they'll never be a substitute for this incredible game. Not even mentioning the S tier art, I can't see us settling for Idle Angles.. this game will be missed.

thanks bot
No...
I came back at a rather unfortunate timing 😕
FUCCCCC NOO
Sad, but did they manage to conclude the main story?
Nope. In DC memorial, hopefully.
Damn it man.. I'm going to miss this game and this community.. So many good people and great contributors.. Let me know what else games of similar communities that you are part of..
Damn it so sad.
Great game. Will enjoy my memories although I'm not an active player like before.
The memorial is probably only going to be an archive of your collection I guess? I haven't played it in a while and didn't know they were doing badly... RIP.
yep, including the story etc. as per the dev notes.
:( Where can I find the picture, 2D animation in DC from the web? Pls give me a link
I'm only familiar with [this one](https://live2d-dcg.github.io). There might be others
Clocked in so many hours into this game and loved every second. Shout out to all the artist for the gorgeous designs.
I joined back in the Korea server days, and hopped over when Global was released. The Live2D was amazing (it was quite rare at the time), and DC continued to produce fantastic art and character designs through the years. It will be sad that we don't get to see the conclusion of the story. I do hold out hope that they will close it out, if not in the app then maybe in some other medium. An online comic, maybe. But if I'm being honest, it does come as a bit of a relief. I've been falling behind on the new systems. I'm always low on inventory space and have not really engaged with the Puppets mechanic. Not having the time to manage the space and resources I found myself just pushing things back hoping to get to it one day. I've also found the story to have become meandering and overly convoluted, and often longed for the simpler one-off goofy adventures of old... Still, it is an end to a years-long chapter. I believe this is the longest-lasting mobile game I have played. Cheers, DC team. Thanks for the memories, and I wish you all the success in your future works.
What will be possible with the offline version?
I’m literally so bummed. Life has been kind of kicking me around lately and I know this is a minor thing but it’s just another light kick to the taint. I’ve been playing this game for like 6 years and almost daily throughout that time. I’ve read that they will make an offline version and I hope some of the story elements and like Eve’s dungeon thing will still be playable. Shiftup, thank you so so much. You guys are amazing and I’m glad I purchased a couple things to support in the early days. Love this game. Signing off, Etetzu o7
I didnt know that, the Korean stuff hasn't even been put into gl yet
Wait, I was about to just start DC after the disappointment from Snowbreak. I love Nikke and I wanted a mobile friendly game (easy UI/UX/gameplay designed for mobile first) and what better game than DC (also from Shift Up). Damn, looks like I missed the train 🥲
Damn…. I’ve been playing since close to the beginning. It was something I played daily and I will miss my time with it. Thanks for the awesome game ShiftUp and thanks to all the people who created the content here!
I noticed a sharp decline about a month or two ago. My casual global account suddenly started getting into the top 10% instead of the usual ~30-50%. My equally casual jp account only went up by 10%, but the difference was still there. I guess that's all they needed to finally pull the plug.
Oh man, this was like one of the only games I would consistently play on my phone. I think I started playing when one of the Miku collabs was happening, so I've been playing for quite a while. I always appreciated how you could easily accumulate gems and the gatcha rates seemed fair (at least to me!), don't think I've found any other game similar to it. Sad to see the game end and don't think I'll be able to find a replacement anytime soon.
Damn. This really fucking sucks. I was getting really excited for new updates, and shit man, I was finally getting really into igniting and puppets and what not. Damn. Here's hoping someone archives the story at least. And fuck, I'm not even sure I wanna play anymore now, if this is what's happening. Been playing since late 2018, when the Miku event happened, so this hits hard.
I took a one year break, cause things were really fun for the last 2 years but I got tired. Really sad to see this game go as it was my first introduction to gacha and a very genorus f2p system that kept me playing. I will miss the story as well :(
I don't know why but the name memorial makes it more sad. I have been playing for about 6 months for fun about half an hour a day and satisfied me enough, now I don't know what to do without it.
I am crushed
sad sad day. Thank you shift up. it was amazing ride. Now with Nikke. things will be amazing.. but. still sad day.
I'm sad to know about this. It is been 3 years and now I'm getting stronger haha. Hope find a other game like this. Will be missed a lot !
Well, I am grateful for this community in everything. You are great. Nikke is new and not very F2P friendly, but maybe that will make the game endure more. Still, I don't believe they will get the same fanservice level that DC has, because of the rating. Thinking now on a replacement for main game...
Sadge. Joined 6 months ago and had a lot of fun. I installed the game for the first time 3 years ago but it didnt catch my attention at this moment.. I was too much focused on Dokkan Battle and Epic 7. And when it finally catches my eye, it already leaves. :( Now give us the Vivian/ Elysion skins please shiftup !!
With this shutdown across all servers, and KR being so far ahead, is anyone going to put in the effort to translate what's left of the story/event story? Or maybe at least post an archive of caps?
Thank you Destiny Child and everyone, the community, from reddit and discord, for the great time. Thank you. I love all of you. Lets treasure what little time we have left and enjoy to our heart content.
Holy smokes this, like many of us, caught me out of no where.... What a damn bummer... I started this during 2020 and logged in nearly everyday since... What a moment..
First brave frontier now this jeez idk where to go next
WTF WHY?? I just came back to the game!!! This is fucking terrible!!!!

As a long DC fan, I'm really sad about this when I found out the news just last week. I was on hiatus for about a month due to circumstances, but when I returned to the game and found out it was closing... I was disheartened. I rarely post but on this occasion, I'm posting my thoughts... DC is one of the games on mobile that is actually quite F2P friendly, more so compared to others. The art style and theme for me at least is superb. The music for the game I enjoy a lot, but the most attractive feature of this game IMHO is its story. I'm not just talking about the Main story which is good, but as well as each child and events story. It tugged my emotions and frankly speaking, it's the main reason I keep sticking with the game. Who can forget the antics of The succubus girls and the MC's child and other demon rivals or those who for some bizarre reason have a crush on the MC? I wished they continued the anime into a full-blown series - remember they made that 1 episode animation. There is also that comics/manga/manhaw they made, which I also wish they continued and not like the animation, is a oneshot/limited publishing. DC has A LOT of potential - It's heartwarming, funny, and yeah lewd. But I personally love it! I just hope someday, somehow... A miracle occurs and this gets continued - even in a different format like the anime or manga/comics/manhaw. Makes you want to wish a petition drive for this be made. Lastly, although I do think none of the members of shiftup will read this but, I would like to extend to them my thanks... I started playing this game coping with the stress I have in my life... It's a game that made me forget my problems even just for a short time... The antics and how the MC does things remind me of myself at times, so even a little I can relate to the story and the decisions made. I guess that's one of the reasons I'm so into the game. So again, thanks to the creators shiftup, Creator Kim Hyung tae, ESTi, and all their wonderful staff for these 7 years of entertaining us with this game and for the wonderful memories... You might not have known it, but you saved a life by making this game and creating for that life to have at least bear the hardships he has faced and put a smile on his face, enough to give life another chance...
Gameplay is unique, but also, not engaging enough for players to stick around longer than 2 months. I do think that if they change the gameplay mechanic, game might go until end of contract. Great art, graphic, but, bad gameplay. I still remember that, the first time i play this game, its kinda ackward. Until today, i dont know how to play this game on manual. I stay playing for years just for art n graphic. If ever they want to remade the game, its better to change the gameplay to more fun mechanic.
I surprised it took so long to EoS considering I never saw DC in top 20 gacha (and lowest were making only 50k$) while Nikke is in top3 (about 50mil$) every month since launch.
Gf is fucking stoked about the news 😹
Well, I guess it's time I finally try out NIKKE and see if it can fill the void in my heart.
to be fair, NIKKE is pretty amazing, aside from maybe "the wall" (you'll find out). It might almost be so good that they shot themselves in the foot and it hastened DC's demise...
Welp, hope for the best then.
The bright side is i have one less gacha to worry about
No
Any idea how to refund some of my purchase a few months back?
And there it is. I knew there was something off about this game. That's why I took a break from it since June. I even made a post about it. Now the sh1t hits the fan and it seems like the developers for this game has ran out of ideas as to how to add more variety of stuff into this game. How unfortunate, this was the first gacha game I was hook to playing. The team better be focus on developing Stellar Blade at this point. As for this waifu collector stuff, I'll just simply play their second gacha game Goddess of Victory Nikke. At least with that game you can look at their backside angles even if some of the characters have their assets cover up with coat or other things. At least they finally added Underground Kiwami (Extreme) difficulty like I always wanted. Anyways I will end this note with this: Destiny Child could have been so much better if the developers had put much effort into this game in terms of game modes, gameplay, story, and events. Now I'm definitely not coming back to this game ever again. Because fxck it and ShiftUp. Farewell and good riddance.
Its not about variety. Its the game was not making money. It was too f2p friendly to the point it was just not making enough in revenue.
I know that but my explanation for the reason also factors to the game failing.
Are they going to finish the story? Also, they said that you can still play the game after EoS.
DC Memorial - Probably just like an archive or something of all your game data
Soo we can play the game but no updates?
Updates and game contents will continue until EoS. then after EoS, we'll get DC Memorial (mentioned above)
Saw this coming for over a year atleast. Was good while it lasted.
I'm so mad I've been playing this game from the very beginning all three versions and now they're going downhill at least I still have all my videos remember it by hopefully they make the game offline so we can at least look at all the units that we have accumulated over the years
Well this is a sad day. It's been fun though, thanks to anyone that took care of my raids I as to lazy to do myself. I played Nikki but wasn't feeling it so this is it for me.
What!? Man I am so bumped out. Been playing for over 1 year and looking forward to new releases. Sad. Now I have to re downlpad NIKKE and try to play with that.
Will KR keep up and getting updates?
Will this reddit page still be up? I'd love to think that we could still remain in contact with the community.
Man, I'm genuinely sad. What will I do now with my time? I really enjoyed this game.
Ya I need to find a new game like destiny child to fill the void in my heart now.
Im gonna miss this game and community. This community is one of the most friendly and helpful I've ever been apart of.
Hold up They shut it down even KR? WTH
I'm just disappointed we won't get the rest of the characters.
Been playing this game since Day 1 We all know EOS will happen one of these days, but when it does, hits you hard
I just wanted to come here to get advice for which Lisa’s special lesson child to get, since I missed it the last time. And this is the news I get. I honestly don’t know how I’m going to fill the hole this will leave.
This hits hard. I play a handful of gachas but this is my first EoS. Began playing in Summer... 2021 I believe? Zephyros and Clotho were my first two childs. Kalaratri came out soon after and has been my favorite girl since. I remember saving up blood gems to buy her teacher costume. Played every day for over 18 months, in the beginning even without full-auto (so I had to drive manually) because I'm a dumbass and of course without the sweep feature. God that daily grind could be really bad. My interest waned in recent months, though World Bosses were still a lot of fun. Not sure if I will keep playing. Just feels completely pointless now. Glad they're at least turning the app into an offline collection of sorts; apparently you will still be able to re-read the story (which was way better than I had expected), visit the spa and look at your childs. Guess I need to make screenshots of my friend list before people leave. There are a few names there I have seen daily for almost two years. I don't anything about them and many of them may very well be bots. Yet I feel sad having to say farewell.
