Anyways, Arknights, a unique anime tower defense gacha with lots of twists. Gameplay wise, it's fun and difficult and you simply just place towers. Like most tower defense games you'd usually place things on the side of the lane, but in Arknights you get to place things on top of the lane, there's also an automatic dp cost regenerator. Now as i mentioned, this game is difficult for a couple reasons. When playing a stage of your choice you have 12 options of no matter what tower or character you choose, There are 7 classes in total, all of them have a role to fill. Vanguards recover dp cost so you can deploy more towers, Guards are typically your main dps, Defenders which are self explanatory, they defend, and usually have the highest block count, Specialists they take care of enemies tactically, Rangers they deal with flying enemies, they can also be your sub dps, Casters are usually main to sub dps depending on your units in the team, Supporters they debuff enemies, and Medics which is also self explanatory, they heal. In each stage, all the 12 units can be used only once, but they are recycleable if you want to place them in a different spot, so if you're tackling a more difficult stage like annihilation, you have to be selective of who you want in your team and plan out how you're going to beat this stage with absolutely no leaks. Use the map to your advantage.
Now for the story... I didnt read it
. Now for the gacha, it's definitely f2p friendly. There are 2 types of currency for it, you have Orundum which is the main use for the gacha, and Originum which is typically a resource that can used to convert into orundum, but it also has other uses like buying skins which you want to save it for, and to regenerate your stamina which you really do not want to do a lot but that's more situational, still i do not reccomend it to use it for brain power. for Orundum, there's 2 ways, obviously converting an Originum for 160 orundum, or doing the annhilation stages which the cap max is at 1800, of course the annihilation resets every week, so for each month that's a total of 7200 orundum, which only give you like 1 ten pull
. Still it's completely fine! And for Originum, you get them by completing stages with a full 3 stars, and I think you can also get them from events? Still it's a little bit of a rare resource to come by at endgame, but if you are a new player, there are tons of content with plenty of Originum to get so you'll be fine. There are also content that is pretty fun like designing your dorms in your base, playing that april fools event that comes once a year (you also get Originum from it!), collabs that I feel like are rare to come by with the recent Monster Hunter collab, that one summer event last year where you could create and customize your own armored vehicle that can damage enemies, and event stages that have their own unique tweak to it which gives more of a challenge to players, there is still more content like game modes but that's enough yapping for now 🗣️.
Overall simply just a unique classic tower defense game with many loveable characters. With so much content to go through and so much that new players can experience the vastness of this game, truly one of the games of all time

4.6I've been playing arknights since the game launched and kinda fell into it. its ok f2p, like you can get orundum 3k perweek for gacha, its like 20 pulls for f2p player in a month + awesome events. my personal review Gameplay : Gameplay is amazing, for those who love tactics game, tower defense, gacha system and waifu character, this is your place ( they have cool ikemen though like silverA*s ). My iQ kinda low can i still play this game ? yes, theres some tips and walkthrough in youtu*e if you have low iq :> *im not gonna talk about Sanity (Energy in-game) in here though.* *also with *6 gacha percentage* Voice line Character/Soundtrack : you will love them, trust me. Storyline : Perfect, cant ask more about it. feelsbad some of player skip it, i doesnt mind though they have their own reason. Overall the game is amazing, i dont know if theres a people out there saying the game is bad and suck just because they didnt get Operator that they want in current banner, *cough* *cough* newbie gacha-ers* (i didnt get corona though, well stay safe out there) if you love the game please show them support by reviewing the game or buy the monthly benefit in-game for 5$ (・–・;)ゞ(f*ck off you're not f2p player because you buy the monthly pack. well i buy it because i want to support the game dev, i even didnt buy it every month.) the monthly package is really worth it, not just you get 60 Sanity package per day but with Orundum 200 perday for 30 days.

4.0Decided to give this a try, went on playing it for 5 months straight and sank around $200 on it. Log in everyday, doing daily, doing weekly, running annihilation -> farming originite, spent some dollar bucks -> agonizing over the gacha -> rinse and repeat. Did I regret everything? No, I did enjoy my time with the game. But I did decide to finally put dơwn this game at the mid of summer event. Now the review, graphic-wise it is cute and pleasant to look at. The UI is crisp and clean. The chibis are nice and all but it did surprise me at the first time because I am not a fan. Though after giving it more time, the graphic did grow inside me. Nothing much to say about the arts, very beautiful, superb; just look at the abundance of fanworks on pixiv and you know what I am talking. Gameplay, your trategic tower defense game. Easy to learn but hard to master with its abudance of characters, unique abilities and "pause button". Then again, it is up to you to create your very best strategies to beat the stages, especially on hard difficulty and challenges. Beside, you have a very big dorm to manage which will help you with farming and upgrade materials. And Yes, please give my thanks to the auto system, without it the game would be a chore. Story? alot of potential with rich lores, yet failed to deliver many aspects due to the subpar writings and questionable dialogues. However, I did enjoy a portion if it, sometime it even tried to pose a philosophical question on wars and morality, a breath of fresh air but left many rooms to be desired. Another aspect I felt lackluster would be the casts themselves. Without proper side stories for them, each character felt as if they were just there for the sake of waifus and husbando. However, at the point of this review, I heard the game did make alot of improvement in the story aspect, which is good thing and I am rooting for the consistency in the quality. Music? very good, many catchy songs, high quality production. Lungmen Battle was indeed an adrenaline-inducing song fueling you through the nightmare of annihilation 3. Gacha? ok rates, you have pity system that will carry over to the next banner you decide to roll for. In my experience, I would consider this feature as a double-edged sword. On one hand, you can get shafted and come back with your desire characters. And on the other hand, you will get spooked by dupes at the expense of entire your karma. Becareful for what you are rolling. Why did I decide to stop playing the game? Well I did got salty over Schwarz whom I spent around 70 rolls and only got 2 ifrit dupes. Secondly, the very core design of the heart surging flame event turned me off completely or maybe I just felt salty. Anyway, I did comeback for the CC, great event encouraging you to push the difficulty further and further. Again, I failed to get another best gurl, Blaze. Well enough with my ranting. In conlusion, arknight is a great side game with beautiful artworks, engaging gameplay that encourages you to replay with different strategies. If you have not played it already, please give it a try because it is definitely worth your time. Edit: Finally got both Nian and Blaze, guess I am back!!!
