Gameplay is similar as Danmachi because this game is the first one to use that kind of gameplay and Danmachi also been developed by the same dev as this game.
Art and grapich is well done from the character, scenery, enemy and boss is just really amazing.

Now that I've said that out in the open, let's get focus on the review. This is going to be based on my personal experience and my own objective judgement of playing the game with a little touch of subjective factor
Graphics: Another Eden used a 2.5D graphics and chibi art styles for almost everything; starting from the heroes, villains and the NPC's. The graphic in terms for mobile system is pretty great. However, there are blurry arts that can be spotted when some location are zoom in, which pretty much can be annoying to some people but regardless this can be ignored easily if you are not a perfectionist
Gameplay: Now this is where things started to get interesting. Another Eden is purely focused on PvE and JRPG combat. That means "random encounter" and "turn-based" system is the very absolute foundation of the game. Some people believed that the gameplay is boring, while others believed that it could be very tricky because of how complex the turn-based system is when fighting an endgame boss that can one shot you at any moment and any time. There is no auto attack in battle, which can be a great burden to the player that wanted to do extreme farming, so expect suffering when doing so. Like any other gacha (I will discuss this later) mobile games, there is powercreep in the form of an effect called Zones and Awaken Zones. This effect can greatly increases or decreases certain element, physical, or magic attack depending on what Zones that are active; which make the battle so much more trivial but that depends on which enemy you are facing
Story: Another Eden gave numerous interesting stories in the forms of Main Story, Episodes, Mythos, Apocrypha, Side Quests, and Character Quests. The story in this game to me personally is one of the strongest aspect and the biggest highlight of the game. Masato Kato is the one who's responsible for game story direction and the approach to the character interactions (at least in the Main Story). If you're a fan of Chrono Trigger, then this story is going to feel like a homecoming gift with a bunch of easter egg and references that are tied to that masterpiece of a game
Soundtrack: Believe me when I said this, the soundtrack for Another Eden is so good, it can be easily compared with some of the console games out there, like the Uncharted series and Far Cry 3-5. Yasunori Mitsuda is the maestro behind the curtain. He is also the one responsible for the Chrono Trigger soundtrack (Corridor of Time and the Main Title are the prime example of this). If I were being honest, the best soundtracks for Another Eden are its battle and boss themes. It helps created the immersion of a true JRPG experience and enjoyment in playing the game (which is why it is recommended using headphones or earplug when playing this). Stand Against the Darkness and Painful Prayer are the good examples of Another Eden soundtrack epicness
Gacha Experience: Now this is the one I've been looking forward to describe. If you know FGO gacha rate, then you'll be very much familiar with Another Eden Gacha. I'll just get to the point of a matter, 0.8% for 5 Stars character when rate up and 0.04% when it is not rate up. Basically even if you are hoarding for a few months, if RNGesus is not on your side then it is all over because you'll be done by it. To add the suffering into the Another Eden negativity list, the farming is also almost the same. For example: Chant Script (a material needed to unlock a 5 Stars class) is rated 0.5% chance to get and Treatise (a material needed to unlock Another Style class) is rated 0.11% chance to get of every Another Dungeon (look up into wiki if you don't know) run you have ended on every single time. To sums up: expect pure saltiness unto you because this game is not forgiving when it comes to the gacha factor
Characterization: One of the strongest aspect of the game besides the story. It is very rare for me to actually like and sympathise with so many character fates and their own personal desire to live their own story. Their Character Quests and Episodes are one of many things that successfully fleshed out their emotion and perspective into a more grand scenario unto the lore itself; fully maintaining their own character development in order to face greater challenge in the future. For example: Dierdre and Radias in the recent Ninth Story Episode: The First Knight and the Holy Sword
Final conclusion after reviewing six aspects of the game, Another Eden is the mobile game that is built on pure heart and soul so that many JRPG and casual player can enjoy this masterpieces of the game. Even though the gacha can be cruel and the farming can be too harsh sometimes. It can be easily overlooked with its story, soundtrack, fun gameplay, and incredible overwhelming environment. One thing to highly note also is that everything on the game itself is permanent (including the recent collab: Persona 5 and Tales of Series, with the exception of Chrono Cross), and you can push forward everything (Main Story and farming) with only a free but very much quality and quirky characters (hence why F2P Players rejoice on this very occassion)
