3.2

graphics: 4/5 definitely can improve! especially the angle of the camera
sounds: 3/5 nothing special
gameplay: 3/5 nothing special, just auto or click a few buttons
storyline: 3/5 not really interesting
Gacha rate up is so bad, like when a unit gets a rate up, youll most likely getting a different ssr/ur than the one thats on the rate up. BUT this game is generous, so ttheres lot of freebies!

Would have been a pretty decent game years ago (~2015ish?), but fails to meet modern standards. The game has a multitude of problems, and when it does show its good side, its still a medicore game at best. First off, the graphics. The artwork and character designs are great, maybe not the best but certainly above average IMO. The transfer of those designs to 3D models, however, is less than seamless. Potato faces aside, many characters have models that just look... off, and certain textures seem to be much lower resolution than others for some reason. Changing settings doesn't fix this either, it's a choice between everything being low res and poorly modelled, or some things being high res and everything else being low res and poorly modelled. In a similar vein is the UI. Similarly, no matter the settings, it appears fairly low resolution. Not the worst problem to have, but it's certainly noticable. Of course, this would all be fine if it was designed well and was simple to navigate, but it's not. Everything is needlessly buried in menu after menu, and you'll often find yourself going through upwards of 10 menus just to do one simple task so that you can progress through the actual game, and then you'll have to go back through multiple menus to get back to where you wanted to be in the first place. Now, once you're finally done with the mess of menus, you get to the sweet sweet gameplay. Or rather, the somewhat bitter gameplay. It's a top-down action(?) RPG type game, or at least that's the best way I can think to describe it. It plays more like a turn-based RPG, however, as you'll mostly select a target and what skills to use in what order. Skill queueing is nice and works well enough. You can move around the arena as you choose, but it's rather slow and clunky. PvE runs smooth enough on all the highest settings, between mobile and Bluestacks I experienced an occassional stutter but it was nothing too drastic. PvP, however, is where the problems began. It ran fairly well with everything on the lowest settings between both of my devices (Galaxy S9 and Bluestacks on a mid end PC), but on higher settings certain moments may as well have been slideshows. Again, it would be understandable if high settings looked at all decent, but they don't. The PvP itself seemed okay I guess, it's not something I personally seek out in gachas but, during my admittedly limited experience, it felt like a bit of an afterthought to me. This is probably not the game for you if you're looking for a solid PvP experience. Now, onto the gacha itself. It's good. SSR rate is 5% and SR rate is something like 35%. Rewards seem fairly plentiful enough after the welfare period, and while the game uses a shard system, you don't need to whale to max out characters if you have patience. The bigger question is whether or not you should bother sticking with the game that long, which I don't see myself doing. There's a good amount of cosmetics, but given how awful the 3D models are I don't think they're worth spending cash on at all. The game is also filled to bursting with premium passes and daily/weekly/monthly purchases, much more than average. The story and characters are painfully dull and generic, even by gacha standards. The daily grind doesn't seem incredibly demanding, but with such dull gameplay it drags on. If you like turn-based RPGs, almost any other turn-based gacha will probably fulfill your needs much better than this game. If you like action RPG gachas, maybe look into Mihoyo games. This game will certianly not meet your needs. The TL;DR is that this game isn't for anyone. It's not good at anything aside from it's more generous gacha, but with dull gameplay to use your characters in and the distractingly terrible models it doesn't really matter. Would not recommend, one of the worse gachas on the market IMO.
