The game is actually more strategic than it looks here, in a good way. You can auto battle if you want to, but there’s a lot of good tension in this game about how to use your resources and build your characters and your team. I do wish we had more stamina or dungeon keys or a little something more to do when the stamina runs out. But I am still finding new depths of strategy to the game as new things unlock with more play and advancement. Sometimes the server lags and when you click it doesn’t always feel responsive. But I’m not going to take a star away for that yet because the devs are clearly working on that. This is still a pretty new game and there’s a lot going for it, so I’m going to stick with it and see where it goes.

Huge props for the art style, because of that alone drove me to play this. Smooth and very detailed character portraits. Simple pick up and play idle/auto-chess game.The praises stop there however as several issues are problematic with me.No matter what you do, you’ll always be given an opportunity to pay real money for packs or resources: sub menus, completing a chapter, and even after you draw an S character asking if you wan to top off the unit immediately. Is the company that pushy or greedy?? Maybe if these all options were kept under one screen only, like a subsection if players wanted to use real money then this wouldn't be so bad, but it’s just annoying.Theres an idle system where you earn resources while off but the amount of stuff you recover is very pitiful, specifically the exp materials. Several gachas give you the opportunity to farm because it’s something you’re focused on but this game doesnt. The game seems VERY generous with its gems, seemingly giving you thousands but doing almost everything but when it comes to materials its very stingy, resulting in several low leveled units that painstakingly get higher with wasting more time. Thats really the bottom line, the game doesnt respect your time. Wasting away time making progress with your units in very small steps. It’s a beautiful looking game no doubt about it, but in the inner things just make the experience sour and forgettable.

It’s a fun game with a similar style to CRK, but it’s a bit more complicated by including element/enemy types, and they aren’t very clear about which type is good against what, even when I google it I can’t find a straight answer. The detailed full art of characters aren’t really included in gameplay, it’s only cosmetic and are only seen in the gacha menu and the arena. About the arena, I’m experiencing an issue where a notification is still on the arena icon, but when I enter it, there’s nothing to change. Also about the arena, after I reached rank silver 1, I stopped being matched with people that I could win against, for three days now I’ve been unable to progress in the arena because I can’t win against others in my rank. I’ve reset it multiple times a day, and I’ve only ever been matched against people that will easily beat me, and have much higher power than I do. (Level 80+ characters, while I only have around level 30 characters. I think it’s incredibly unfair to do the pairing without taking into account the levels of the characters in mind.

Played a lot of other games in this genre and this was one of the first where I could honestly say you can play the game and progress without buying your way to power. Game gives you plenty of ways to improve by playing and gives you plenty of energy. Most of these games you log in collect rewards and log off. This one there’s quite a bit to do and it gives you enough resources to play the game for hours a day if you want. The game gives you plenty of gems as well to buy shop items which feels great also.
