Following the termination of 'Mega Miracle Force' on May 27, 2021, Compile Heart—often dubbed 'Dilei-she' (meaning 'Landmine Company' in the Chinese gaming community, implying their products are often disappointing) by players—is facing another mobile market failure. Their game 'Eshigami no Kizuna,' launched on April 7, 2020, will shut down on September 30, 2022. The game's primary gimmick was the 'gender-bending' of iconic characters from Osamu Tezuka's manga, leaving players baffled as to how they secured such a legendary license.
The community response has been harsh. Many players questioned the developer's sincerity, pointing out that the character designs look cheap and unrefined, especially considering the prestige of the Tezuka license. Sharp-eyed users easily spotted a gender-bent 'Astro Boy' in the promotional art. The consensus in the thread is that traditional console developers often treat mobile projects as low-effort cash grabs, relying on external contractors rather than the dedication they show for their main console franchises. Some cynical fans simply reacted with, 'Glad it's dying,' or questioned how the company is still in business.
