First week good. First month bad
2K View2022-11-29The good
Character art is very nice and graphics are good 7-8/10 overall.
Music and sound design is also good 8/10
In the first week the early campaigns are easy to progress which means easy rewards to keep players investing into the game.
Interesting story and some interesting dialogue. Characters interact mainly through text messages and can have funny or cute interactions. I was enjoying and obtained 12 SSR characters.
Other smaller things I like but there is more bad than good.
A month later
The bad
Gacha rate
so the game says 4% for SSRs I've done 50+ and haven't got an SSR. Most of my SSRs I got where from the shard mechanic get 50 and get an SSR or that's what it felt like until I randomly got an SR and noticed they have a 50% rate of SSR so no guarantees. Even if you do 200 summons (200 summon currency) you can only get character upgrade materials except rate up characters that require a different summon currency.
Initially I thought you only need 4 of a character to max them it wasn't until the first rate up character came out that you see how greedy the how much money is required to max a character. The store for rate up character allows you to purchase upto 11 copies of character there is no mention of this. The game shows blank stars on chracters SR have 2 stars so require 3 copies. On SSR theres only 3 blank stars which is what lead to my belief you only need 4 copies as well as the fact the store doesnt allow you to buy more than 2 for the non rate up characters (changes monthly). The stars increase the lvl cap so if you never get a duplicate you cant level up a character past 80. There is a lvl sync system so you can lvl up 4 SR upto 160 before you require SSR duplicates. But one of the biggest sins of this game is they have a class of SSR chracters that are super rare in that they are only available in the rate up banners (but don't have a higher chance) known as pilgrims and they are the highest dps characters. There is a tower climb for different nikke while the other factions of nikke have sr and r characters the pilgrims are only SSR. Which means you cant progress this one area until you obtain atleast 3.
The power issue
Basically if your under leveled and don't reach the power requirement even if your only 1 stat different you lose 25% of your damage significantly increasing the difficulty to the point even strategy wont work this becomes the biggest roadblock because unless I get more SSRs there will be a point where I can no longer progress. The image requires me to wait a couple weeks to further lvl up my characters to progress the story.
The tower climb
The main tower can give a decent rewards but like other activities power becomes an issue. The sub towers for different factions of nikke have a ton of issues mainly they only drop SSR fragments for that specific faction drops. This would be fine if there wasn't the issue of there only being a 50% chance of recieveing an SSR. The other part is that it takes a month to get 50 shards as you are limited to 3 a day on rotation for the different factions.The other issue is the pilgrim tower which you cant progress as they are a SSR only faction so unless you have atleast 3 leveled SSR pilgrims you cant make any progress.
Controversy and issues
This game was very buggy on release some activity issues mainly not able to progress character stories making you miss out on 1-2 summons of rewards per characters (this was fixed atleast for me). Event rng rewards. The more concerning glitches is when your under power and do even less damage than intended. Keep in mind I heard about this game over a year ago and they didn't even announce a release date until they reached 2.5 million pre registers so the fact the game came out in this state is criminal.
The game advertise having certain characters gives more rewards but made the drops glitch out and give less currency for the purchasable rewards.
The new event reward is entirely rng base wher you need to roll a dice to get across a board to build energy for rewards. Except you could get unlucky and lose more energy than you gain like I did when I hit three 1s in a row making me fall on the lose 10 energy 4 times in a row cause the next space was move 1 back. This event also had a glitch where you couldn't roll a 6 on the first 2-3 days.
Lastly if you are unable to progress in any activity you can obtain 3-5 a summons a week which pretty much means you will essentially be locked out of progressing unless you obtain those duplicate SSRs and are willing to wait days for that miniscule of power in hopes of actually obtaining rewards.

This game was a torture to play, Genshin runs perfectly fine while this one stuttering a lot when I saw just a handful of enemies. I might blame the publisher cuz Nexon or Proxima Beta/Level Infinite did something mostly half assed.
