Games worth discovering

1K View2021-12-20

So the moral of the story is: never make promise that you cant keep. i dont really care much about cencorships (prolly because im a casual F2P lol) but one thing i despise the most is Lies, and Lying in general is a death sentence. Anyways... to the game review:

Pros:

-Low maintenance:

the game dosent need much attention for you to progress, your progression depends on your time spent on the game and it dosent have those typical "characters mood decrease" or something similiar when you leave the game.

-Banger Ost's

This is probably the best OST's i have ever laid my ears on especially for a gacha game, it has no business to be this good.

-Simple and quick gameplay

A very straightforward and simple gameplay where the students will auto fight and you will decide when to deploy their EX skill, theres also auto battle feature if youre busy or being interrupted and when you 3 stars a stage you can sweep it for quick exp and mats

-Interesting story and world

get yourself involved with shenanigans that the students will commit to fullfill their goals, these students will not hesitate to commit mass murder and genocide whenever they have the chance and resources. Theres also students "Relationships Story" that you will get after raising their relationship rank with the students and will reward you with Freeoxenes (Aka free Pyroxenes) and a very eye pleasing L2D animation when reaching certain relationship rank. Each story segment is quick yet intriguing.

-Nice Graphics

Cute 3D chibi students that has accurate modeling and skins based on their character portrait, the UI is somewhat baseline user friendly.

-Afk earnings

yes, theres an Afk earning system in the game, all you gotta do is to unlock the Cafe in the game and you will receive passive income of credits(ingame currency) and stamina points, The Pvp will also give you more passive income of credits too.

Cons:

-Abysall level of hell Gacha rates

Yep, you can go check the pull rates spreadsheet the game provide and see it for yourself. but in the nutshell: in total of 1% rate for any 3 stars , in total of 5% for 2 stars (guarranteed a 2 stars if you do 10x pulls). and the rest is 1 stars (also you can get dupes, and the dupes will be converted to characters shards aka Elephs, and something else called Eligma, which you can spend on shop to get more characters shard to raise that character star level, but heres the catch: every 20 purchase of a character shard will raise its price.)

-Stamina mechanic

the classical stamina barrier that keeps you playing 24/7, you can either buy more of it with pyrox or wait.

-Horrid and Meta heavy PvP

Yep, the PvP is autopilot and RnG heavy, also Meta heavy. If you dont have Shun, Hibiki, Iori or Hasuna in your team, you wont get far ahead.

-Banner student dependant events

PvE content such as Total Assault, requires certain unit in order for you to get higher scores (usualy its the banner student), if you dont have that banner student or a certain student for the TA, you gonna have a hard time getting through or attaining a high score for the leaderboard rewards, as those students effective for certain type of enemies and scenarios in the TA. Also this also can be applied for Event Story, as the Banner students can boost the event currencies earnings much higher than normal featured students.

-Feels incomplete/unfinished

The Intro sequence is fully voiced, but the rest will be you staring down a text and a still image of students during dialog cutscense (even certain L2D, such as Chise L2D isnt voiced at all), and dont get me started with the sound effects they used during those dialog cutscenes.

-Mercy at the Vicious RNGesus

Gear mats farming and Eleph in missions is RNG, so theres a chance that you will receive nothing at all

Overall, i wont lie, its rather generic exprience in my book, just like every gacha games nowadays, but i stay for the Ost, its just too good to be ignored.
