Games worth discovering

Another day, another waifu gacha game. It boasts beautiful artwork and great graphics, as well as great audio and voice acting. In other words, the game's visuals and audio are great. Voice acting is topnotch, with some popular Japanese seiyuu voicing some characters.

As for the battle gameplay, it does not stand out too much, with a rock-paper-scissors type of strength and weakness mechanic, as well as battlefield roles. Players have a team of 4, with 2 supports, and they go out and fight opponents in tactical battles. These battles can be skipped automatically when cleared with 3 stars. There is also an auto battle option, but so far, the AI seems to not be very good, with a member of my team being eliminated in the simplest missions, so I find myself playing the battles manually. Overall, the battle gameplay is not bad. It's fun, but nothing really special compared to other games in the genre.

What makes this game great though is the character management. It's more or less a character management game, and it does this quite well. Players have to raise certain characters' affections to make them better in battle, as well as unlock certain stories involving these particular female characters. Combine that with the excellent voice acting and we've got a good game.

This is still a gacha game, and the rates are pretty bad. Out of 20 x 10 rolls, I only received one 3-star character, with mostly 1 and 2 star characters coming out. Not really nice for a game if you want a certain waifu.

In the end, it's a waifu gacha game. The battle mechanics may not be special, but the game is mostly for the waifu raising, and they do it well. Great game overall.
