First off I want to say that Azur Lane is the gacha game I play most consistently, even more than Genshin and Star Rail. My main is ~Level 90 and I’m a dolphin player, which means I do spend a bit. Been playing since around Jan of 2024. Now, for F2P and low spenders, PLEASE be advised that although using your gems on skins and cubes may be tempting, investment in dock space is the way to go if you plan on playing long-term. The game has over 600 characters, and you start out with only 150 slots. I personally have enough dock space for all my characters and extra, but that is only because I spend. However, the game takes up a massive amount of storage. I used to be able to keep both Azur Lane and Genshin on my phone at once, but over the past year and a half this has become impossible. Even without downloading any extra assets here (voice, l2d, private quarters) it doesn’t work. So if you plan on downloading other resource-intensive games, maybe try playing Azur Lane with the emulator BlueStacks instead. Now with that said, I still love AL. It incentivizes daily activity, I find the characters to be lovable and compelling, and many top tier ships are obtainable outside of the gacha system, by conducting “research”. Would be a solid 5 out of 5 if the storage wasn’t such a problem for me. Also yes, this game has suggestive content and LOTS of it. Be prepared if you decide to download. Peace out!

The game is good and I have an enjoyable time playing it, but there is a problem that needs to be fixed. When I started playing this game, I ended up amassing a large amount of oil from the rewards from the inbox that exceeds the max amount of oil. I could not get more oil from the academy, but I could get extra oil along with the other stuff that comes with the oil. I would play this game quite often but I wouldn’t really use up a lot of oil. Then, at some point a new update came out. I don’t really know when the update came, but when I decided to hop back on one day, I checked my inbox and tried to collect the rewards in it. Here’s where the problem arises. I can’t collect any of the rewards that include oil in them. Now, this would be understandable if I had the max amount of oil. I would simply just play the game a bit, spend some oil, and collect the rewards. Not very difficult to do. But, as of right now, I have like 27,000 oil. My max oil is 5,000. There is nothing in the game that lets me spend that much oil. I would have to level up to raise my max oil or just try and spend it by doing sorties. I don’t really want to spend hours trying to get rid of unneeded oil just to collect something. Could you please fix this problem. The amount of oil I have does not matter to me. I do not need any more oil. I wouldn’t care if you decided to take away all of that oil at this point.

Ever since I started playing Azur Lane it has been a great time. I was enjoying the game and patiently waiting for the next banner for the new ship. Then, finally the new UR came out, the new ship looked amazing and I’ve been saving cubes forever. There was just one problem, the coins. Now why do we need 1500 gold for EACH ship build. For newer players and ftp players that’s just insane. I’ve spent a good amount of money into this game and guess where I had to put it into, the coins. I thought at first that we would be able to get any character with the amount of cubes we got, but no coins were the real issue. There aren’t enough sources for coins. Yes, a coin storage, campaign, and events, but that’s hardly enough. Campaign literally gives you a couple 100 coins at BEST. That’s insane and I would have to do a whole days of farming for about 2 rolls. This is just unfair and coins are a big problem. Ship building should cost less coins, or more ways of getting coins should be incorporated into the game. Also, the 1.2% UR rates just seem unreal. They are high for a gacha game, but I’ve personally rolled over 100 times and haven’t gotten the new ship as well as people I know have t received the new ship in over 100 rolls. Seems a bit weird. I apologize for my rant, maybe I’m just upset at my misfortune, but I believe that receiving more coins would really improve the game.

This game is great if you’re a fan of the art style and want something simple to pass the time and keep you occupied. It doesn’t take very long to figure out the finer details of the game and the community is more helpful than the ones in most games. More often than not there will be someone who will answer your questions within seconds. The only issue I’ve encountered is that at the end of an event there is no overlap on collection of rewards. For most people it’s not an issue, but since I’ve not even been playing a month at this point I wasn’t at a sufficient level for the event, power leveled, and completed the event with less than a minute to collect my rewards. When I went to collect I instead was met with an infinite load due to the start of maintenance for the next event. I’ll happily revise this and change to a five star once I see that ended events stay in the event tab for an extra day or three upon the completion of an event (just in case there are others like me or I’m unfortunate enough to pull another 24 hour shift at work on the end day of an event and am unable to collect the rewards in time; plus there are those who simply forget and that second chance would go a long way for them too).
