1. Graphic: good, these 8-bit character is really cute in some way; Character portraits seems good, but I prefer KR art to JP art (because JP art seems weird in some way, I cant get used to it)
2. Sound/BGM: Great, perfectly match with each scene, map and battle
3. Gameplay:
- ARPG type with various puzzle and minigame (Honestly, what gerne is this game? 🤨)
- Gacha is OK, but Gem spend on gacha is a little too much I guess (although you can easily farm for Gem in various ways: Arena, Daily quest, Login,....) and Migleage is pity thing in this game, you can get them when you pull gacha, using Migleage to exchange Hero and ex weapon as your choice
- Guardian level: you can upgrade level by gathering Guardian pt, this is a must if you want Sweep mode in various stage and stat bonus
- Farming is a bit grindy at first when you are newbie, fully clearing stage (3*) with Auto can let you use sweep mode for faster clearing
- Pvp and coop, ok i guess? (I'm not into this so I dont really know how it balance or not)
- Main stage is easy to clear but not until world 11 and so on, its become harder af (this is why I hate someone tell to dev "this game is damned easy" and they improve difficulty from easy mode to "Dark Soul" mode ._.) and this is the most reason why many players quit the game
- Guild system is quite a must since you can get more things from Check-in, raid,...(like Gem,...) and have fun with friends in Guild HQ
- Collection (gather various gears and skin) help increase stat bonus further
- Facebreak: actually FB ingame but with certain NPCs, you can add them as friend from Main stage, get gem fron getting more friends and they sometimes tell some good tips for you when playing
- Event is some kind of....repeating, not much thing to do after clearing everything here...
4. Story: quite predictable but still very good, story become "darker" through gameplay
Ah yes, "FUN"TASY
- Through your gameplay, you will encounter a lot of reference from famous irl game, comic and movie
5. Others:
- Payment is OK, i guess
- can redeem code here, but not really often in certain server
- Somehow drain phone's battery quite fast
{edit}
> So in my opinion, this game is good to play (friendly f2p i guess?), but event is kind of repeating.... so it come to bore quite fast if you already clear everything here (unless you are pvp type 🤔)

5.0TL;DR first, Guardian Tales (GT) is a mobile pixel action rpg with one of best stories, challenging puzzle, and fun gameplay. If you're into a rpg or story game, you should give it a try. I try to write this review as spoiler-free as possible, let's start from the negative first. [Cons] - It's a pixel game, despite the pixel is modern and aesthetically pleasing, but still it's the most reason peoples skip to try to play GT. - Early character arts and game preview are not convincing. - Early story chapter feels very weak and random. Tho it will be masterpiece later on. - Story dialog is auto and a bit faster to read. - Puzzle is seriously challenging. If you're not good with these, you can just check on youtube or ask to community. Imo, it will be fun and feels good if you can clear it yourself without guide. (btw, i cleared all GT puzzle without guide until now [開心], ahem~ no one asking) - Challenge in this game is challenging too, especially time challenge and rules battle. That's all about skill, so can be very stressful, frustating, and make players less motivate. Pssst, if you're not good enough, just don't be a perfectionist and skipping some challenge is also an option. - Some contents are obviously designed for whale or tryhard type players (e.g. Kamazone, expedition, season achievements, etc). - Like most korean games, have some competitive feature and powercreep character is a normal thing. If you're just into pve contents and story, it's not affects much anyway. - Laggy, but the main reason is because of default setting, so it's easily fixed from adjusting in-game setting. - FUNtasy. [Pros] + FUNtasy. + Small game size. + The story is interesting, epic, and the main charm of this game. Also, it's mention lots of reference and humor. + Level cap limited by story world/chapter progression, so it's well balance. + Complex stage mechanisms from battle, puzzle, challenge, hidden/secret, etc. + Have a lot of QoL updates and keep updated. + F2P friendly, have a lot of freebies. Also, gem (GT currency) is easy to obtain, mostly come from weekly and guild contents. Tho most newbs or players who can't read don't know about this and complain, kek. + Easy to get character or weapon which you wants. + Stats increase from collection, progressing can be very fun and worth. + Various content, with various gameplay and uniqueness. + Can be played as very casual or competitive. Thanks to many number of contents. Imo GT suitable more like a side game than a main game. + Arts improved a lot. Also, japan version of GT is published by "Yostar", so global version have a button for switching character art to JP and viceversa. (fyi, JP art is kinda suggestive [白眼]) + Thanks to JP version too, some character get JP voice character and old story chapter have voices right now. + Catchy music, especially from gacha menu and bingo event. + The dev always gives their best for the player.

4.2Very simple game and quite addictive though the story and dialogue is where this game shines. Unlike most mobile games the controls feel right for this game and the upgrade system is simple. Auto function works great for when you dont want to sit and play just to spend stamina. Gacha pity system is good, you can buy any 3* character after 300 rolls. Cons are, I feel the amount of gems needed for a ten roll is quite alot espeically for f2p taking into account there are character and weapon gacha bother seperate and the game relies heavily on weapons. though im not against this system but with 300 rolls required for the pity system it would mean you need 600 rolls for the character and their respective weapon. Worth a try very classic nostalgic type of game.
