Assassin’s Creed Rebellion

When I first got this game, I saw a review that told me when you finished the game there was nothing else to do. That led me to thinking that the game was very short, and there wasn’t much exciting material. I downloaded it anyway just to see what it was like. The review I read was wrong: there are so many levels and a beautiful, long story line. In this game, you build an HQ and add rooms to help your assassins get stronger, heal faster, and equip cool weapons and armor. You go on story missions, each unlocking more detail than the next. You also send assassins on missions not associated with the story, which help you gain materials to craft weapons and find DNA. The more DNA you find, the more assassins join your team. One of my favorite parts of the game is that you can choose a cool name for your group. I do have one suggestion, though: Is there any way you can make it so you don’t have to be online to start a mission? I don’t like this because when I’m offline, I can do almost everything in the game other than going on missions. I would be really glad if you could fix that. Thanks!

First of all, this is a beautiful game. The animation style, sound design, and music are great. I has unique gameplay mechanics that are a good balance of luck and skill, and the gacha elements are addicting. But three days into playing, I’m deleting the game. Rebellion has quite possibly the worst energy system I’ve ever seen in this type of game. I saw several reviews saying as much from December, and the developer responded to those saying they’d take the thoughts into consideration. It’s 5 months later and the issue is the same, suggesting they have no intention of fixing it. In nearly every similar game I’ve played, an 8 hour night of sleep will have you waking up to full mission energy. Not Rebellion. Instead, you get roughly 60 “Intel” every 8 hours, and with missions costing between 3-11 intel, that can be as few as 5 missions, or 20ish minutes of gameplay with very few rewards. Additionally, while the “rush” feature is nice to get rewards without playing the levels, your characters take damage when rushing and can take 10-20 minutes to heal after a single rushed mission, putting them out of commission for another rush for that long. Sure, you can heal them with potions and spend premium currency for intel, which is the business model, but the value is horrible and these tactics make me not want to contribute to the game. I’m deleting it as soon as I post this. It’s a shame, because outside of those mechanics, it’s a really neat game.

The game is good, fantastic even for some. Let me just say, it might seem like I’m bashing it for being bad. But I’m not. The game starts of fine with showing you how play with it’s simplistic controls that invoke probability. ( I did notice that it seems predetermined) And after that you’re on your own for the most part. Missions are simple and have different approaches for characters and vary from info extract, to loot runs and simple assassin’s creed assassination. The characters are somewhat of a grind, but that that hard. There is a loot crate system for characters. But it’s already easy enough to get characters...so yeah. Not gonna talk about the story to not spoil it. But now let’s talk about its faults. The store is to be expected nowadays with loot crates, but it’s not game breaking. Sometimes the games in game timer glitches out and doesn’t appear, so I’m just confused when “Mission requirements not met” appear and I’m over leveled then I realize the timer isn’t there to tell me that I used up all my mission replays for that specific mission. And now to the last one, probably the elephant in this room. EXP, is a pain to get, daily’s are the only guaranteed way to get tons of it. Missions only give 100, and story missions give you 650 once. That’s the only thing in truly annoyed about, the leveling grind. That’s all I can say about the game for now, until after a few major updates.
