This sci-fi gacha game shows promise, but it's way too early
4K View2023-06-12
It's always exciting to get early access to a cool-looking game, but sometimes it's a little too early. Such is the case with Equinox: Dawn's Edge, a sci-fi gacha that's available for download in an early beta form now. This game makes a good first impression with some flashy cinematics and fast-moving auto-combat, but what awaits beyond those early moments is...pretty rough.
From unfinished and untranslated text to missing sound effects to framerate drops and crashes, it's clear that Equinox is not remotely ready to be played by a wide audience at this point. Heck, the game didn't even give me an awesome cinematic when I pulled the gacha. How is a gacha game supposed to get people hyped to spend money without that?!
If I had to praise one element of Equinox: Dawn's Edge, it would be the general theme and sensibilities. Science fiction is woefully under-explored in the gacha space, and even those titles that do explore it, like Honkai: Star Rail, tend toward a familiar anime aesthetic. Equinox, on the other hand, has a less overdone look that almost reminded me of the style of Overwatch 2.
Equinox also has a clever system called "Heritage" that allowed me to boost the levels of new recruits from the gacha without having to spend resources. It's because of smart ideas like this that I'd really like to see Equinox get polished up into something I can fully recommend. In its current form, though, there's just more potential than polish.

Equinox: Dawns Edge - A Game FULL OF POTENTIAL, But Feels INCOMPLETE
Equinox: Dawns Edge is a game I wanted to enjoy. With it's Cyberpunk aesthetic and cool character designs. Sadly I just couldn't find myself enjoying this game.

Sci fi unexplored? are you kidding? the majority of gacha games now are this bland style of futuristic cities inhabited by samey mechas. gimme dungeons and old fashioned roaring monsters any day.

Huh must just be my experience! I play a lot of gacha and most of them are still firmly on the fantasy side of things.

I still they should had stuck with ark legends and work around the issues the game had not completely redo the game, because the fantasy style worked but hey is the decision they chosen to make and I respect it
