Games worth discovering

This is the first and possibly the last time I will say that Nexon seems to actually understand what a player expects in a game.

Like so many others, there is a ton of dialog. There is also an auto button. Unlike most others, the auto read does not treat you like you just learned how to put words into sentences. Instead, it progresses a lot like the subtitles in a show.

There are some similarities in the controls and strategy to games like Arknights, but the similarity more or less ends there. This is a sidescrolling game of domination. You do a small amount of defense, but more or less focus on pushing forward.

The graphics are mediocre, but a good fit for the overall feel of the game. The Live2D seems to be fine tuned to seem a bit more fluid than some games that use it for any animation at all.

Overall, I actually enjoyed playing this one. It's been a while since I picked up a Nexon game and didn't ask if the battery consumption justified even half of the attempt at "fake high-end graphics."
