【DeepBlue Drama】Reverse: 1999 Suspected of Shadow-Buffing Enemies in 1.1 Update, Community Up in Arms

The community for 'Reverse: 1999' is in turmoil following the 1.1 version update. Players have reported that enemies in 'Artificial Somnambulism'—the game's equivalent of an endgame 'Abyss' mode essential for grinding upgrade materials—have undergone 'shadow-buffs' (undisclosed stat increases), rendering their previously reliable team compositions unable to clear stages.

In response to the controversy, several threads have appeared on NGA, with players providing side-by-side comparisons and video proof of the stat changes. Community members are outraged, labeling the lack of patch notes regarding these balance adjustments as deceptive, with some calling it a fraudulent practice.

The comment section is fueled by frustration. Users are calling it a 'melon game' (a common Chinese internet term for a game riddled with controversies/drama). They point out a long list of grievances ranging from banner mechanics and skin pricing to stingy event rewards. Many players are now on high alert, with some threatening to quit if the developers don't address the situation.
