命運聖契：少女的羈絆 | 繁中版 Review(s)
4.4
I can say the Devs of this game can claim this game 'The Playable Webtoon.'
Pros:
- Game operates in an idle motiff similar to games like Elora's Raid/League of Pantheons, except in 3D 1:1 character model ratio zOmg and a very clever Webtoon-style story-telling.
Too bad I can't read Chinese, because even tho I can't understand the words, I can follow the story, AND IT'S HILARIOUS
The f*cking Demon Lord runs away like a wuss 🤭🥹🤣
And that hilarious race zOmg I can't XDDDDD
It's a reaaaaally cute & funny story X3
- Great music. Great BGM. It knows how to carry itself during gameplay, and it knows it can't take it's own story seriously, but I'm genuinely surprised that some of the Chapter music is an actual song, it's cute
- I've seen a review claiming AI art, but I disagree.
Some of the character art does look like it had AI-assisted elements, but it's clear it only used AI elements (character sketch build) to create the final product. IMO, this is fine; as long as it's not full AI. In fact, it looked base-vector to me, which has been present since 2005.
The Webtoon-style story itself is hand-drawn, to the point I suspect THIS IS AN ADAPTATION.
If anyone can confirm this to me, I'd be grateful.
But, no. This game has been illustrated with clear love in it.
Character designs looks heavily-inspired by MiHoyo tho, to the point one can claim it's a rip-off, especially some of the UI-elements.
Overall, really good.
- Great stability overall; it has lag come Ch. 7, but very stable & impressive.
Took at least 3 hours before I felt heat on my tab.
Not on Mirren's level, but very impressive, considering the graphics
Cons
- STINGY. AS. F*CK.
Well, not really, but your initial SSR (excluding the 'boss girl' of the main cast, which is our primary SSR unit) revolves on what, like, only 4~5 SSR units that seems to rotate when you do your first pull. And 3 of them are 'healers' (quotation marks, because I never saw them heal, only AoEs, except 'boss girl'), the other two are Defenders.
And the pity system is locked. Will take you [EDIT: 100! Just confirmed, sorry!] pulls; F2Ps will definitely have a hard time thriving in terms of SSR units, but the SRs & R units are actually very viable for use.
Edit:Unit combos are present, making even R units very good early-game.
Bunny girl just LOOVES to drop exploding bunnies, I suspect she's Usada Pekora's distant relative. 🤣🤣🤣
In fact, very few SSRs are viable early-game, but to my own experience on idle games, the SSRs are end-game, except on this game, they all feel like they require... something, to work properly.
- Gear system/level system are region/level-locked.
I figured a bypass in terms of levelling (keep one character slot not powered-up to spam auto-stage farm; if you don't, you'll be stuck at a certain level), which keeps you from conserving resources, which is a must in every Raising-Sims type of idle games.
Took me 4 days just to figure out the bypasses.
As F2P, you DEFINITELY need to learn the bypasses.
- Some units you get are PFP-locked for some reason, even tho you have the unit.
Really weird. Haven't figured out how to unlock it yet; and you're stuck with the SRs & main cast characters.
I really can't be fully critical of game mechanics because I'm handicapped by the language-barrier, but the basics can be followed thru without undestanding the language.
A Global Release might not be possible due to the Webtoon-visuals of the game, plus I feel like a lot of slang is present in the game story due to the sheer hilarity of it. 🤣
It's very cute. Clearly, if a Global Release is made, I might actually whale.
That's how impressed (AND FRUSTRATED! DX) I am on this one.
Play it, if just for the Webtoon element.
But, as I said, there are region/level locks present, so you'll need to be very patient.
But, for me? 8.⁵/10.
