Artery Gear: Fusion | Global Review(s)

===
Epic Seven with great QoL features,in exchange for very questionable gameplay desgin choices
Preface
===
I think it's well known that AGF and E7 are very similar in combat, character building, and the daily grind.
I'm a seasoned E7 player that quit a few years ago because I got bored of the endgame grind, so I'm not sure how much E7 changed since I left.
I will be comparing AGF to E7 since they are immensely similar, almost like copying E7 if they didn't add/change some stuff.
Only comparing them in the perspective of a f2p player.
What AGF has over E7
===
- Offline auto-farming
Lets you use your device instead of hogging it, might have a negative effect of making the game feel like an idle game
- Configurable AI for your characters
Makes runs more consistent now that you have control over when to use their skills, and who to use the skills on
- Gear substats are pre-rolled when obtaining one
No need to enhance a gear and pray it gets good rolls. Substats are unusable until you enhance the gear to certain levels. +3/+6/+10/+15 unlocks 1/2/3/4 substats.
Now for the queationable gameplay design choices
===
- Super accelerated early game
If you know what you're doing, you can breeze through the early game and be able to start farming 6 star gear in 3 or 4 days, albeit only for 2 slots instead of all 6. Has a greater effect on feeling like an idle game.
- Fodders are hard to get
You can only get fodders from clearing stages, no friend summon like E7 does since you can't even have a friend to assist you in battles.
- Terrible gold income, given how high the expense is
Not factoring other aspect of character building, enhancing a 6 star gear to +15 would need ~150k gold.
Most stages give ~600 gold, and a few gives 10k gold. There is a gold resource stage, but it's only worth it with the daily bonus, which gives 50k gold, otherwise its 2k gold.
You can get more gold by paying with premium currency, but you won't be pulling gacha unless you're a p2w player.
Now this really feels like an idle game.
Final thoughts
===
- Do I recommend AGF?
Only for the thrill of the early game. After that, it slows you down by a lot, like trying to crawl out of poverty. Until the devs increase gold income, I can't really recommend AGF past the early game.
- Is AGF better than E7?
Not by a longshot. The poverty situation alone turns me off.

Let's get the things that what I think is not good on this game first.
AI Combat.
Introducing the AI Combat! Finished a stage and want to farm but don't wanna tap all the time? Well, you're in luck as we have the AI Combat feature! Real neat!
First, select a stage that you have already finished, tap battle, and instead of tapping battle again, tap AI Combat, set how many times you want your characters to combat and then proceed! Now watch as your characters combat the same stage multiple times.
Noticed what's weird? No? It's this --> (Now watch as your characters combat the same stage multiple times)
What?! I have to watch the same result all the time?! Jeez! I know I have watched Haruhi's Endless Eight like 4 times but don't do this to me on a game!
Maybe it would be shortened if my characters are a lot more stronger or something but do they really need to do it like that? It takes at least around 4 episodes of anime and 8 dumplings just to wait for it to finish 30 times! It's a lot of time and battery wasted! And get this, if you decide to like tab out of it and open a browser since it's on "low power mode" when in AI Combat anyway, IT WILL DISCONNECT FROM THEIR SERVERS.
Well, no worries, I'll play this on my other phone then. There problem solved. But how about the other players? This thing really is a pickle. 🥒So what should be a good solution to this?
I'll say maybe implement skip tickets. Like on priconne. Skip tickets that you can receive from expired gacha counts or missions and stuff. That should be nice. Or maybe AI Combat will consume a bit more stamina but you won't have to wait for a long time. Or AI Combat will be just a timed feature just like dispatch but you probably won't be able to use your characters on other stages. That way you can do other things or close the game and just come back once done! Saves time, saves battery, saves electricity.
Man... This is really long now and it's all just a rant.
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the game. It's just that it feels like that AI Combat haven't been thought thoroughly. Other aspects of the game feels really nice. The animation is awesome and flashy, the character designs are likable albeit some feels like drawn lazily, and the music if you turn down the sound effects really are good! Too bad the game is muted on that AI Combat. If you're gonna wait, might as well just retain that bg music right?
I think Artery Gear can become successful. It has something going for it. And despite that tedious AI Combat? I just kept on playing.
Also, I can say that if you're into turned based games with anime flair on it? Try this.

Best animations I've seen in a chibi style mobile game!
The reflection and lighting effects, this looks amazing!
Reminds me a lot Epic Seven and a little about Arknights!

Ahora sí.
Gráficos: son buenos, muy buenos, a la altura de AL y muy pocos llegan allí. Al ser un waifu collector se espera que hayan diseños llamativos y detallados, y así es. Aunque no esperaba que algunos personajes usarán poca ropa/armadura, de todas formas se agradece los buenos diseños.
Sonido: está bien, no destaca mucho pero no sé queda atrás y algunos son muy pegajosos. Realmente puedes pasar un buen rato solo escuchando el bgm en el lobby.
Gameplay: como dije, es tipo E7 pero más rápido. Honestamente se aprecia que hayan incluído un modo offline por que si da pereza estar esperando a que termine todo para jugar otro juego.
Escenario: ya vieron el 3d mamadísimo que se mandaron los devs? A lo sumo he visto superposiciones de 2d pero no escenarios 3d con pjs 2d. Me gusta la idea y se le puede sacar mucho provecho en futuro. Respecto al entorno de los escenarios, son buenos muy buenos. acordé a la historia y detallados. agradecido con los devs.
Valor: tiene similitudes con E7 en su jugabilidad pero respecto al resto no. realmente es ideal el offline para los que juegan más de un gacha y se agradece por mucho. Cómo recién es el inicio habrá que esperar a ver qué más puede ofrecer.
Historia: no c la, eskipee para subir de nivel a los AGs. xd

time to change my review...
gameplay at arena/exercise in high tiers are complete bullshit, full of shitty rigged match.
- my sirius have 100% crit chance, cannot crit a single enemy in certain of 5 match,
- my ginga have full status acc set, max at skill 2, 6 out of 10 match cannot land a single debuff.
- my grace have 150% crit chance wifth max skill 2. have the same like sirius, 5 out 10 matches cannot land a single crit to enemies..
FCK RIGGED ARENA WITH IF U WANT TO ADVANCE TIER U NEED SPENT CRYSTAL.. ashol system.

Но вот что реализованно не плохо, это скилы и наверное боевая система. Есть куча настроек для автобоя что/когда/при-каком-проценте-хп, это реально круто. Плюс сами скилы с ньюансами, а не просто 109% урона и кровотечение 20%, все персонажи так или иначе выглядят по скилам оригинально... Ну, 4-5 звезд которые. Короче игра не плоха в целом, хоть и не является чем-то очень выдающимся.
Ах да, история с музлом неплоха, если вам не запарно читать на английском. Я уже минут через 40 начал скипать, потому как больно дофига диалогов.

Esta es una apreciación general en base a mi experiencia con los gachas; pero llendo a puntos mas concretos:
Graficos: Tiene una textura, brillo, sombras etc ... una calidad muy buena.
Jugabilidad: Si quieres el modo automático pero necesitas cierto orden en tus habilidades para que pueda pasarse sin problemas, puedes configurar el modo automático a tu gusto, priorizando lo que desees y cambiando el orden de skills dejando asi que el juego siga la estrategia que quisieras siempre. Pero si no lo quieres lo puedes un jugar en manual sin problemas. Tambien tiene un modo Offline dónde lo puedes dejar farmeando los escenarios que necesites aun cuando sales del juego, es la mejor opcion que existen en los juegos gachas.
Los personajes cumplen diferentes roles asi que la estrategia es indispensable ya que hay escenarios muy dificiles.
Personajes: Un waifu collector, orientados a temáticas mechas, pero no como para taparlas por completo. Desde lolis hasta milf's con mucha trama.
Historia: No sera lo mas top de la industria pero es bastante interesante.
Si, esta en ingles, para los que siempre andan molestos por el idioma, es probable que añadan el español despues, de momento todo es bastante sencillo de entender, quizas la historia no tanto si no dominas al menos lo basico, pero juego en general y sus opciones no dan problema alguno. No pierdas la oportunidad de probar este grandioso juego solo por cerrarte con este tema, no te arrepentiras.

Grafik dari game ini juga bagus dan saya suka.
Namun sayangnya story pada game ini tidak memiliki VA dan menjadi tidak menarik untuk diikuti (setidaknya untuk saya).
Overall : 3.8/5 atau 7.9/10

Targets for reroll: 5*: Sirius, Ashura
4*: Alice
If u plan to play the game, highly recommend playing now, as the event ongoing has the poor mans ver. of Sirius (one of the best units in game) lessening reroll hell.
Artery gear is the mecha waifu Epic Seven.
Alot of Stamina goes towards Event point farming, and gear farming. For those who dont have time, theres a function to start the farm then u can close the app afterwards.
F2P status: Yes, to a degree. F2P's get about ~80 summon per month(excluding mail stuff), Pity is 200. Meaning some dodges if u want meta units.
PvP: Current state is SPD + Cleave. Until stronger units come switching to Bruiser meta.
Probably the most P2W aspect in this game is the Unique Weapon system, not necessary for PvE or decent ranking for PvP but u can see dmg difference from a high level UW compare to the average level UW.

If you haven't played Epic Seven, I recommend playing that instead. If you have played Epic Seven, I recommend giving this game a try (because I have a feeling that players who got bored/burnout of Epic Seven kept an eye on this game).
Now on to the game. I always focus on the story first, and I have to say the story is actually quite good. Considering the publisher is the same as Girl Cafe Gun, which also has good story, it is to be expected. However I do find it annoying on the way it spells our nickname. They don't add space, like if your nickname is Meh, then the game will show it as MehCommander. I'd like it if it's Commander Meh. Well anyway, here are my pros and cons:
Pros:
+ Good, engaging story. Storytelling is a bit like Blue Archive. That is, the game clearly shows which stages has story and which do not. Some of the characters are memorable.
+ Has Live2D interactive lobby....but not dynamic. Not even a movement, like Counterside has. But having live2d is always a plus for me, regardless... unless it's really bad
+ Unlimited tutorial reroll. Check drop rate for list of 5* characters. The one on the banner only shows 3 characters. Follow meta? No No No. Follow your heart? Yes Yes Yes
+ Sound effects are amazing, put your headphones on, or just play it with speaker, like the good ol' days
+ Able to skip skill animations, unlike Epic Seven
+ Smooth transition between screens, just a bit lower than Epic Seven's, which is actually quite good
Neutral:
/ Chibi models. This isn't everyone's cup of tea. I'd prefer if they go full chibi instead, like Blue Archive or SD Gundam. This doll like form isn't that good for me..... reminds me of Sinoalice....
/ Texts are hard to read, takes a lot of time to get used to. Far from how Epic Seven presents it's UI. You can be the judge on this one. For me, Epic Seven's gear attributes and skill descriptions are much easier to read. Even Seven Knights are better at this particular point.
/ The story, although good, takes too long. Coupled with the font choice, it can be tiring. I myself love reading through Flame Chasers story in Honkai, and I don't feel tired. But this, the font choice, I think could be better. Girl Cafe Gun has better text, more enjoyable to read.
/ There is an option to do farming while the game is closed....but honestly at this point, why? Should've been just skip mode like Counterside and Guardian Tales. Maybe they'll add it later, after the game achieved "high number of daily active player"
Cons:
- There really isn't much cons. Honestly the neutral parts are borderline cons, but they're just right that I don't put them in cons. If I had to put one in here, it's the texts/font choice
Future:
This is new. So one thing to keep an eye out is the collab, which hopefully global also gets it. Collab with Atelier Ryza. That was unexpected really, but it's there.
Overall, it's a solid side game for those who've played a lot of gacha games and have now free slot/time for a new side game. I say that like I recommend this for "veteran" gacha players, because I am. There's a lot of gacha games out there that I recommend playing first. Counterside, Priconne, Pokemon Masters, Honkai, Epic Seven, Guardian Tales, Blue Archive, and many more. But, if you like the aesthetic of this game, then give it a go. Like I said, it's a solid side game. Most of the hype I feel is from how this game "fixes" Epic Seven's "cons", like the gear system. Like, transferring substats is great, but it's not new, ex. SAO Integral Factor have this feature. Well that's my review. Thanks for reading. Hope it helps.

บอกเลยว่าเป็นอีกหนึ่งเกมที่น่าเล่นของปีนี้เลย (สำหรับใครที่ชอบแนว เทิร์นเบส)
จุดเด่นคืนตัวละครสาวๆงานดีมากๆ บางตัวมีติดเรท ตัวละครจะมี 3สกิวให้ใช้งาน สกิวท่าไม้ตายก็สวย มีคัตซีน คล้ายๆซุปเปอร์โรบอท , ระบบเกมเข้าใจง่าย
เกมมีกิจกรรมให้ทำบ่อย แจกของเรื่อยๆ
มีแจก(ตั๋วทอง) กด รีโรลได้เรื่อยๆ (ได้ตัวทองแน่นอน 1ตัว)
กาชา จะเกลือๆหน่อย แต่ก็มีการันตี ขอให้โชคดี

Gráficamente es bonito, personajes chibis hechos con cariño y cuidado. Aunque sigo sin entender porque le ven parecidos con Epic Seven, ya que para mi, en mi opinión, no se parecen pero bueno...
La música esta muy bien y con ritmo. Los personajes tienen un diseño increíble y con una paleta de colores alucinante, son super llamativas.
Tienes para hacer reroll dentro del juego y puedes conseguir el personaje que tú desees, aunque lo malo es que no están todos como Sirius, Alice,...
Con mucho contenido dentro del juego, estarás muy entretenid@ durante días. Además, la historia también es interesante
