GRAND CROSS : Age of Titans is a new RTS simulation anime mobile game with great story content and huge kingdom to take care of. In the beginning of the game, the heavy load of anime style story content really impressed me and I felt like the Netmarble did it again this time too with massive graphics and quality story content. Looking at amazing waifus that could be summoned and with 11% drop rate for legendary heroes got me more excited for this game at first. But later I realized that the combat mode graphics actually did't look that impressive and the story content actually started to fade away. Honestly I felt like the gacha was rigged as I was not able to summon much legendary units with 11% chance and lots of multi summons I did.
Looking into the gameplay, its mostly about the expansion and improvement of your kingdom. You can upgrade your buildings to improve your game performance. Especially your castle which will start unlocking more and more features in the game. As its a real time simulation game, it can actually take massive time period to upgrade a building but thanks to massive freebies of the game, you can get lots of time speed boosters which can help you upgrade your building asap especially during the beginning of the game. Upgrade your building and upgrade your troops and keep training more powerful troops to create strong army who can get highly boosted by the hero that you will be using to lead those armies. Unlike other RPG game, I found it quite unique in this game that you will have heroes to lead your armies in an effective way to defeat your enemies. Your heroes can be tuned up based on the talent points you will be spending on your character.
In my opinion, the best part of this game is its massive gacha rate for legendary characters which is 11% drop rate chance! This is seriously insane but so far in my personal experience, I have not been that lucky to get legendary heroes. Maybe my bad luck or the gacha summon is rigged in this game!?
Just because you got legendary heroes, I think its not quite wise to celebrate early as you will require some very rare resources to upgrade your characters. As a beginner, you will be able to excel more with lower rarity heroes rather than the legendary heroes. This is exactly the point where I started to lost my interest in this game. Specially with the VIP features, the game started to feel more and more pay to win content.
The battle mechanics felt very boring to me. Long distances to cover to reach enemies or other destinations. One of the worst graphics for combat mode in the history of Netmarble game. The enemies felt ridiculous and uninteresting. The sound contents don't feel that nice and thrilling.
Overall, the game feels good at first but slowly the hype goes down. The combat mechanics feel quite basic and boring compared to what Netmarble showed in the game trailer. One of the worst graphics content for a Netmarble game. None the less, I do recommend you guys to try this game out as it may be your cup of cake and you might be more luckier with 11% drop rate chance for legendary heroes. There are lots of great rewards in the game especially with coupon codes and system gifts. Try it out!
