2.5
Probably the game is targeted for casual players, idk.
Graphic wise, devs are kinda lazy with environment assets. You can see all those trees are recycled over and over again. Yes I know devs did this to save time and money. But at least make a little change for some trees so they don't look like literally copy paste.
Gameplay wise, the game has vertical orientation nice approach for those who commute and play on train. But the downside is the screen is too narrow and camera is clunky. You can't rotate the camera so it's a bit hard to dodge an attack from side since you can barely see the enemy. Mainly what you have to do is spam attack button and a bit of swipe to evade. Well..you have one skill and one ulti at least.
UI is too cramped and no introduction tutorial. So once you log in to the game, you'll be slapped with crowded menus. Could be a bit confusing for new players.
Gacha, well...it's equipment gacha. If you're okay with unappealing pixels clothes then it's your game.
Guess I'll back playing Tales of Arise again.

5.0遊戲其實不錯, 人設中上, 戰鬥有迴避,有衝擊, 有QTE反擊, 有技能, 大技亦很華麗. 故事(剛完第一章)有全語音全動畫演出, 入城同NPC說話亦有語音, 十分用心. 多人模式打boss亦很有趣, 不是一般全自動遊戲. 可以當單機JRPG亦很有趣.

4.4I think people are being a little too harsh on it, if it wasn't a tales game it would get more positive reviews. let's be realistic here- the graphics exceeded my expectations, imo way better than Tales Of Arise and Tales Of Crestoria. I comparable to the Naruto Ultimate Ninja games which graphics I always enjoyed. The gameplay isnt anything groundbreaking, but it plays very smooth and the mechanics are basically ToA simplified and easy to pick up. The gacha system, well, its a mobile game, but it seems very F2P friendly so far. Not too grindy at all it seems like. Its basically all in the equips and outfits, every character is unlocked when you get to their chapter. Story is kind of whatever so far, not as interesting as ToA but I only completed Ch 1. All in all, for what it is, it is a breath of fresh air for mobile games, Tales of games, and JRPGs in recent years. Give it a go! Thanks!
