Shaman King: Funbari Chronicle

Shaman King: Funbari Chronicle is a new game for the Shaman King IP, and is definitely a treat for fans of the original manga, the 90's anime, and also the new remake anime. Visually, it looks really really good, with story mode having a nice and immersive manga feel. Unfortunately, this game does not escape the trappings of an anime gacha game. It feels like any stereotypical gacha game from an anime IP, and its gameplay does not stand out at all, even with the beautiful manga feel. There is auto-battle and x2 speed, which is convenient, but it still has the same tired gacha game mechanics. It's fun, that is true, but I felt that I have played this same tired style for other IPs like KonoSuba and One Punch Man.

UPDATE 12.09 There should be no major problem connecting to the server. Having checked the official Twitter. It appears they are still working on fixing the access issue. ———————————— If you had a black screen or game stuck while loading, try the following two ways to solve the problem: 1. Restart the game, and if the problem persists, try again until it is fixed. 2. Continue to wait until something appears.

After all these years of waiting there is finally a very nice Shaman King game for smartphone! Of course it is gacha, but that is not bad in my eyes because of the variety of characters. It is very easy to get many of them to 5 stars as well because you can farm the souls for many of those characters.
