Love it but..

The game is amazing, I love that it isn’t like those idle game in which it does everything for you and all you do is click in just one spot. You actually have to have skills to dodge and counterattack at your own instincts, the story is amazing as well. It’s definitely f2p friendly as like I said before it’s all about your own skills, the characters are only as good as you can play them. So low tiers can actually be high tiers and visa-versa. The thing is I made an account and it automatically put me on a Europe server without warning me. I don’t regret that because I actually have two 5* characters that I love. The other thing is that I made another account for the America server and everything went well and all but just yesterday (April 5th) I tried login in on both accounts but it says that the email login is temporarily unavailable. I get that the game is new and there’s issues with it but I just hope temporarily doesn’t mean a long time because I also bought 2 monthly passes in which you have to log in daily to receive rewards. Other than that I would also like to know if it’s possible to bind an account to another login info such as facebook. Because in case I can’t login with just an email I might be able to with facebook or another login.

Love this game

I played Dragon Blaze for years, when I saw the trailer for this game I couldn’t be more excited. I am enjoying my gameplay experience for far. I just hit adventure level 2 at the time of this review and can’t wait for what’s more to come. The art style is amazing, the music is incredible, and the gameplay doesn’t feel demanding, intrusive or pay to play like other mobile games out there right now. I got lucky on my initially pulls and only have one 5 star character and their 5 star weapon right now and truthfully I think it’s the only one I’ll need for a while. Obviously you can spend to progress faster and having all top tier characters doesn’t hurt, but you can progress just fine as a ftp when you invest in your core team. Arena fights in this game are actually fun since it is a true control based game and not just clicking an auto button and out speeding and AOE blasting your opponent to death. I have not reached the tower mode yet but that also seems cool and rewarding. Can’t wait to see what the future of this game brings. Overall great experience!

Vanillaware Vibes & Amazjng Gatcha

If you are familiar with Vanilaware titles such as Dragon’s Crown then you’ll feel right at home with the aesthetic direction of this game. The voice acting is amazing and the story writing and atmosphere is dark and gritty like a “souls game” but without the gitgud part. The game allows you to be completely in full control, but you may enable 2 types of auto-combat. The first is akin to World of Warcraft where you still manually choose abilities and your character will handle basic combat themselves. Or if you prefer you can go or full auto if all you want is to watch numbers go up. This feature is also handy for testing your party to see if they are leveled enough for the contest t you are trying to run. If they wipe in full auto then you need to level. I used to hate the automatic feature (I’m looking at you League of Angels) but I’m beginning to enjoy the convenience of having options.

Great beautiful game, very f2p friendly skill based

I am at Ch7 and seems like there’s only up to ch8 for now. My honest review and I have played plenty of games. Music, Art, Voiceovers and how the game plays is just perfect. The devs were’nt greedy and seems like the stuff you can buy to power up isn’t really needed if you play the game right and save your resources. I haven’t had much trouble progressing at all but I can see how someone can have problems progressing if they use up all the free items you get while you play. Also the story is pretty good, I don’t really play games for story but its good. Gameplay mechanics is awesome, you can auto battle but they aren’t that smart where you can just leave it alone if you are playing a challenging stage. Also there is pvp which is great since you can play with all the gear you get. There is also a guild system and co-op. Tips: focus raising just 4 people, save your mats and level your weapon thats at least a blue item. Rarity goes white, green, blue, purple and gold is rarest. When you find purples and up then use your saved mats for them after you played the game a little so you know what needs to be done. Save your crystals since there is a stamina system so you can use it to refresh stamina 8x a day. Anyways enjoy!

Overt Objectification and Copycat Feel

The characters and gameplay feel as though they are just stolen from other media. The little companion is just a March 7th-ified Paimon. Every single woman in the game is sexualised and objectified. Two kids barely escape this treatment. The combat isn’t my taste but I acknowledge it’s others. It has a souls like feel with bosses but that is defeated with an auto play option. The story is presented in an interesting manner but the game’s fight to story bits feel odd especially considering you always start the game at the same place. Art style is nice but character movements feels like paper dolls, except for the woman who always have pronounced sexual features, even if they are meant to be a gruesome zombie. I thought it was comical that they have a giant hat wearing blue haired witch named Rani, clearly based off of Ranni from Elden Ring and still manage to not pay her any real homage respectfully. With the art style and fights the game may have had potential but with the poor and sometimes obvious borrowing from other games it feels like a bad and heavily sexualized second option to games worth spending time to play.

Beat em up Gatcha

I play lots of gatcha games and wasn’t expecting much here, but I’ve been very pleasantly surprised. It’s a side scrolling arcade beat’em up at heart, like Golden Axe basically. It’s very refreshing to have a game where you don’t just put every stage on “auto”, though there is an option for that which I appreciate. Art and character designs are very good, and especially good on the enemy side in fact. The first time the gigantic hog showed up I was pretty impressed. Now the gatcha side though, I’m not sure about yet. Pull rates seem very low, and it’s a combined character/equipment draw, whit h I despise. I much prefer grinding to build up equipment as opposed to pulling for it. But hey, I’m still new at it, so I might eat my words later. For now though, I’m really enjoying this.

Actually really mid

Game basically copies the Hoyoverse Gacha system: 50/50s, pity systems, and the dreadful weapon banner which to be honest is useless since four stars do a good job and being more accessible. On top of that, the rates are basically the same at 0.6% for a five star. YEAH. Same premise but with gameplay so mind-numbingly boring that progression feels 10x slower. Did I forget to mention that progression is potentially gonna take you months of investment? Within my four weeks of grinding the game, trying to see giving it a chance, I successfully failed to get my guaranteed beginner five star for 50 pulls. The total amount of pulls I even got for those four weeks was just a measly 28 pulls. That amount of time, every day, is so sluggish and tedious that I don't even believe anyone with even a tid bit of sanity would continue to play the game at that point. TLDR: Same gacha system and rates as Hoyoverse games, slow progression, and also a scarcity of First Day awards that even Genshin gives to jump start beginners.

Just wow!

Honestly I can’t be more shocked about this game. Granted the combat in the early stages ends more quickly than I would like but other than that this is one of the best gacha RPG’s out there. If you’re like me and enjoy a good story this one has it in spades. The story is rich with tons of lore. One of the biggest draws by far is the ART. The game looks completely unique and there are those “little extra details” EVERYWHERE you look. The characters are gorgeous and varied with both men and women so it’s not just a waifu collecting game. The gacha system is exactly like the other top gacha’s right now with a half decent pity system. Give this one a try guys and gals. Tons to love here with little downside.
