Pros :
- Storyline didn't change from original game
- Seemingly Improved graphical aspect
- No overpriced market items
- Character Roster
- Gameplay compared to OG game
- Can be considered free to play as it's an idle game
- No energy system
Cons :
- Gameplay compared OG game
- Rate up of characters in gacha
I can't seem to find many cons, means it's a decent made game. As a player of the OG game, I found the gameplay as a huge stepback. The reason I wrote the gameplay as pros as well as cons, is based on the player. If you like idle games (with extra mechanics like skill timing/team building/pvp) this is for you. If you love the original, you'd probably be turned off because of the gameplay change. But since I considered the story as top notch, I'd play this a bit longer.
P.S i missed kachigo, and I got her, now I'mma be stuck in this game for long cuz of her
*** This is NOT the RPG hack-and-slash visual novel you remember from 2019 (though if that's what you're looking for, the Chinese server is still available here on QooApp).
An interesting revamp to a promising title that failed to maintain its popularity. This version of City of Forever is an idle game; while still making use of the original's story and characters, the main gameplay of this version is waiting for your established team to drum up enough resources for you to level them up and proceed to a stage's next level. Progression is as fast as your gacha luck can carry you-- people who are fortunate enough to get a good balance of characters can possibly cheese their way to two or three stages ahead everyone else, but for now there's no real need to speedrun the entire thing in the first place.
Gacha rates aren't anything special, and the free gems you get trickle slower the longer you play. There are two kinds of PVP: the usual where you compose a team with your best-built characters to square off against someone else, and another version where you have to make three whole teams for a best-of-3 match against your opponent. The ranking and rewards for both PVP versions are separate, meaning you can reach higher with one and struggle with another, but that also means double your weekly PVP rewards.
As you can probably tell, the game can be really P2W, PVE and PVP-wise. And I'm not just talking about the fancy SS-tier characters either-- the option to buy resources to build your characters faster is also available for those willing to spend some cash. Otherwise, you're going to be stuck waiting for resources like the rest of us.
There's also not much to events, but I guess it's also because this version is relatively new and the devs know that majority of the playerbase are still working their way to mid-game. I know I for one am stuck waiting around for my main team to be strong enough to beat 6-18, so....
That said, what really carries this game (for me, anyway) are the graphics. It's a lot smoother, more stream-lined, and the additional Ultimate animations are beautiful to watch. It's a nice casual game where you check in once or twice a day (for dailies, usually) and then wait for reset. If you want something to pass the time, why not give this one a go?
