-Worth trying?
Short answer: The gameplay has this grid style turn based map where you move to fight enemies and then transitions to like a 2d anime chibi bullet hell game where they do auto attack and you can auto or manual skills. You have 3 "vanguard" shipgirls (anime girls with ship-mech-like rigs) on screen and they'll move as one when you control the movement and 3 main support shipgirls where you usually not see them unless it's pvp. If 3 of your vanguards die then you lose. If your middle support shipgirl (which is your flagship) gets destroyed then you lose.
I guess the main selling point of this game is the shipgirls itself. The art is good. Skins... Well, they're mostly cultured in my opinion although some got censored before. Lastly, it has a unit limit that you really need to expand because there's tons of units.
If you like the description then you can try it out.

Long answer:
I think the short answer already has a good description about the gameplay itself so I'll skip it for long answer.

-First: The Gacha, is it good?
Well, I think we earn a good amount of pull currency. For me, it's easier to save now. The rerun banners now gets a different currency so that you can save more of the pull currency for future banners.

I still sometimes don't get the units that I want because I don't think there's a pity on regular and limited collab rate up banners, but I guess it is what it is.
However limited UR banners do have pity system which is 300 pulls.

I also have to mention that there are ways to get some free units just by farming specific maps or unlocking this PR ships. The PR ships takes time because you wait for the objective to unlock and the longest part is grinding for exp because it needs specific faction and either vanguard or main ships to do it and it kinda needs a million exp for first one and I think 2 million exp for the 2nd one. But it's still obtainable for free and those ships are great after leveling the skills up. Which also takes time because you need PR blueprints. I don't even remember how many we need but we need a lot of those.

Also META Ships, not exactly too meta, they're just called that. This needs you to farm a different mode which I don't usually do so I don't have much knowledge about it. But it is there.

Limit breaking. I'll just put it here as well. Getting a dupe of the unit is appreciated but it's not necessary because we also get these "Bullins". Don't use them for combat because they're mainly for limit breaking ships. We get more purple bullins and less Gold bullins. The UR Bullins can be bought on shop using a currency that you can get probably from dailies or weeklies. So it might be better to use some lower rarity at first.

-Second: The skins, are they good? is it accessible?
For me, the skins look good. Pretty cultured for me. There's also l2d or kind of animated but it cost more of course. But if you're going to use the diamonds for dock(unit) space which is kind of necessary and on dorm feature then, kinda not much? There are few free skins out there but yea. Paid skins are not too accessible for f2p. I think you can only buy 1-4 skins at best as f2p. But that depends on how much dock space you'll buy.

However, "Some" units have oath skins which needs you to increase the unit's affection. I think you can earn it by putting the unit on dorm, putting the unit as your game home screen unit and just by using it on stages. Don't just keep using them though because there's a mood system where if you use a unit too much it won't get affection and might even decrease.

After you 100% affection them you'll need a ring. I think there's 1 free and they also give 1 free every anniversary. Again only "Some" have oath skins. While some just have additional dialogue.

Some units also have this "Retrofit" thing where they became better and they have a Retrofit skin. You just need to farm for retrofit mats which takes time because you can only farm it 3x a day in general and it's on hard mode.

-Third: Is it grindy?
Yes, pretty much for PR exp, affection or if you want to get a specific unit/gear blueprint drop on map.
Yes, you need gear on this game.

In the older version of the game, we needed to really farm maps for exp for our new ships which was a pain but now we have exp cards, although we only earn a few but it's now there. Although I'm not sure if it's fast accessible by new players.

You need to 3 star a stage first before you can use auto. The auto here is fine because I think they lessen the enemies that kinda needs fighting and if it's on hard mode, you'll only fight the boss.



I think the only thing that I don't particularly like is the dock space because we can't play a stage if we have full dock space and you'd really need to either remove units or buy dockspace. Granted that joining a guild will give you more dockspace, but that's not exactly enough. That's all I can say for now.

Cute boatgirls in a game that isn't a pure rng simulator like certain other game with shipgirls in it. I must applaud devs for sticking with people that will actually play this game, not SJW and NOT CENSORING ANYTHING. So many limp dicked devs/publishers lately are censoring their western ports of mobages because they fear SJW. Guess what, they won't pay your bills, they won't even play your games in first place. Lying about lack of censorship and calling it "localization" just proves how dishonest some devs can be, removing original content = censorship, localize my butt. Anyway, where I was going with this is that even tho I dont have time and I'm already HEAVY invested in JP version of this game (started playing soon after its release, rank 101), devs showed that they care about community so I will be spending some $$ on that sweet skins for my 2d tittyboats that I don't own on JP. After NepNep event I realized that translation got much better and isnt really a problem anymore.
