Update as of 2024: I just came back to this game because I heard rumors long ago that the company wasn’t doing well and they were probably shutting down the game so I stopped playing. Really unfortunate but I’m back now and have noticed a lot of new content. Wish I never left! I wish this game and game company the best and I hope they prosper. One of my favorite gachas for sure! I love this game so much. I’ve played it for 2+ years now and would say this is a top 3 gacha game. I’ve played so many games and this one really stuck with me. I love the story, characters, combat, all the different/diverse missions. Obtaining gear is the name of the game and is crucial to being successful. Obtaining gear isn’t easy but it’s not hard either. There is a good amount to be obtained but to roll the exact stats you want can be a little hard and like every other gacha you need to pray to the RNG gods. But all in all this game has a great community, seems like the devs have a passion for the game and listen to the community. They have a roadmap for future content which is nice to see what’s upcoming every month…

DISCLAIMER: I am currently writing this review after I’ve already uninstalled the game roughly half a year ago. TDLR: Definite recommend- simple (don’t really have to use your brain that much) strategy, great graphics, good characters & backstory, and intriguing story. Also Korean. I genuinely did enjoy playing the game, experiencing the story, the characters, and the combat. The only problem is, I played everything I’m fairly sure I could’ve and I’m not a very patient man so of course- I uninstalled to go download something else on my phone. I would come back if they added more story bits but personally it was a one and done deal. For those wanting to play I’d definitely recommend this game, great fun, nice time spender. You don’t have to pay to play/win, and it uses strategy (unless you filled your squad with overpowered units) to win the game, although it’s not Arknights kind of strategy I still do enjoy the simple strategy thing it has. (Soldier/mech-only squad viable when??)

A lot of these reviews show that the main negative of this game is big related/crashes. I’ve been playing for a few days and I have progressed fairly enough and I personally have not experienced a single bug or crash. *I am not saying that to discredit the ones saying so, I’m just disclaiming I have not experienced anything*. The game itself is fairly unique in a lot of ways while also being similar to other games. If you liked stuff lien epic 7 then you should feel right at home with this. This game also lends more playtime and things to do than games like Arterygear which falls short on more than one thing(unfortunately). It’s free, try it out. I definitely recommend it for sure as I think it’s one of the best gatcha games I’ve played recently for mobile. But if you are worried about possibly having corrupt saved and such then you *should not spend money on this game**. If you still may be worried then try and come back later this year. Also as someone who has experience in many gatcha games, this game does not seem to be P2W at all ? From other things I’ve seen and only playing for a week I have not seen anything that would point to that ? Starting to feel like the reviews saying that are from people who don’t know/want to grind. You know what you are getting into with these games and grinding is something you have to do. I’m Not paying a penny for this game and I still find it enjoyable. I have a IPhone 13 Pro Max that’s only a few months old just for reference. I don’t know if it’s device driven or something else that’s causing other people’ issues. I hope they can fix it though because seeing alot of bug reports will push anyone away. But for what the game is, pull rates and gameplay, definitely solid.
