Best game I’ve come across in a while

I’ve been playing this game for almost two years now, and you can truly feel the passion the Devs put into this.The game is very f2p friendly. Nothing is unlocked behind a paywall, you can clear all content with starter operators the game gives to you. The Gacha system is good too with Rate up, pity and the chances for 6* operators are high. Along with that, if you fail to get the 6* operator you want they will go into the off banner pool of characters, meaning you can pull them rate-off, unless it’s a limited time banner which usually only happens once or twice a year. The lore and story are extremely detailed and thought out, it touches on some dark themes, yet keeping the story interesting and entertaining.Operator designs and play styles are all unique and well thought out, I’m personally in love with almost every operators design and they look so well, the art in this game is another levelIf your considering downloading this game but are still on the fence, I’d 100% recommend playing it, at first the layout and gameplay may be a might confusing and unappealing, but please give it a try, the more you progress further into the game the more fun content you unlock, and the more your understanding of the game grows. I’m sure the whole arknights community would love to see some new players, welcome home doctor.

This game is probably one of the best I’ve played! There are so many beautifully-designed characters and voices, and the story is also interesting as an apocalyptic/action/war theme! You can tell the designers must have put a lot of effort into the game.When I first started playing, I was amazed at how informative the tutorial/beginning was. They teach you really well how to get the gist of the game, so I think it’s very beginner-friendly and almost anyone can play.Also, the battles in this game are actually really fun and challenging. In most games the battles don’t require much thought and are over quickly, so it can get boring. But in this game each battle requires its own strategy, it’s own band of operators to suit the terrain, and they even pretty much completely refund sanity (energy) so you can do-over the level as many times as you want.The recourses in the game are very easy to get, especially if you’ve cleared a lot of battles. Plus it’s not that hard to get really good characters, which I really like. In fact even the low-star operators are actually very useful and can be upgraded to become pretty strong. For me the only areas of improvement for the game could be having more male characters, and probably a larger variety of operators that can be obtained through recruitment (because I always get specific operators over and over).Overall I really recommend this game to people who like to play strategy-based games, love anime, or anyone who is bored. Trust me once you get into this game it’s so much fun.

Oppressive stamina system/ no return rewards.

I really like Arknights. I like the story, I think it’s great, I’m very invested in it and I want to know what happens next. The game play is fantastic, and I is also very accessible as there are a variety of strong characters in different classes and rarities.My issue with Arknights is its stamina. There just is not enough to do what I want. There are constantly new events happening which you need stamina to grind through. This makes it difficult to get through the story, which also needs stamina. And then there are very long weekly activities, which also need stamina. There just is not enough. And when compared to games like Honkai: Star Rail, or Girls Front Line 2, which just have more stamina, or systems where if your stamina caps out it saves some in a reserve bank for you, Arknight’s stamina system just feels oppressive. I’ve got tired of the fact that I feel like I can never get anything done in this game.Edit: They’ve added more stamina so I thought I’d log in to try it out. I hadn’t played for 2 months. I hadn’t played HSR for the same time. I load up HSR and I’m showered with “Welcome back! We missed you!” And free stuff. I got nothing from Arknights. Guess what game I’m going to play now? Not Arknights.

One of the best gacha games
19/10/2022

Madoka45
One of the most F2p gacha games I’ve ever played, even the skins you can earn for FREE. Has a weekly stage you can clear that gives you a ten roll a month, then they’re always sending extra rewards in your inbox and you can get free rolls in the shop buying it with green certs which you earn also for free. There are only 2 limited banners a year one for half anniversary and one for anniversary, which is fair. The only reason I buy any packs is the anniversary ones and I don’t even need them I buy them to support the devs because it’s such a rarity in gacha for it to be so fair Even the rates aren’t bad, whenever you get a 6* you have a 50% chance to get the rates up one which is one of the best rates up I’ve seenLastly as an update: I live in the UK and they have changed the shop so it is not converted as $1 to £1 which is used to be, very happy they fixed it
