ANOTHER EDEN +12

This game deserves a big thumbs up. The main story really captivated me. Some of the main characters are really unique, funny, quirky, and above all really likable. The main story can get really deep. The universe of this game keeps expanding like an epic fantasy novel. Some parts of the story, particularly dialogs among certain characters left me burst out laughing. Some parts of the story left me feeling emotionally raw. Questions left unanswered in the first installment of the game (up to Chapter 25) got answered in later updates. The bosses you will encounter in this game are top notch in character design. They are unique, complex, and each sort of has its own background story that fits in the main story. Some of the boss fights left me gasping for just how well the graphics and sound are done.

Now there are some drawbacks with this game too. The heavy grinding of a few of the key items takes the joy out of the game for me in many occasions. It’s mind numbing and frankly I feel bad and a bit exploited at having to waste precious time doing this. So I’d like to see improvements to lighten this burden on players especially if you are paying for a monthly subscription.

Above all please give this game a try and let it pull you in on the epic adventure. It’s the only mobile game I have on my phone these days and I say that Another Eden is one of the best mobile games I’ve ever played.

This game is unique is the sense that it’s a gacha game, but it doesn’t feel like you’re playing a gacha game. It’s more like an old-time rpg (snes through the PS2 era) that you don’t need every character in the game to be the best. You also play against the story, not other people, so it’s really your fault if you don’t play it right and not luck or skill.

The use of gems in this game is unique as well. Unlike other gacha games that uses gems for everything, this game only uses them for getting characters and reviving them if you die. Of course, you can pay for them, but it’s not obligatory to get ahead of the game, and there are so many quests in this game that you’ll get enough gems to play the game. Weapons also help you out, but also unlike the other gachas, this game’s weapons don’t have random stats and not based on luck for stats. You just need to get the materials and the blacksmith will buy them from you automatically. Different materials are needed for different weapons, but it’ll Guide you to the locations for the weapons.

Overall, I don’t need to spend money on this game, but because it’s so well crafted I would just to support them. Especially since it has Yasunori as one of the composers for this game and the characters are relatable and funny at times, and it has it’s sad moments too. It really makes it have a Chrono/Xenogears vibe to it, and I enjoyed those games immensely.

I’ve been playing Another Eden pretty regularly the past few weeks, and really enjoying myself. It’s got great writing and music and the classic combat is really engaging, not to mention the wealth of sidequest content you can dive into to take a break from the story. The gacha element feels pretty light overall; I’ve managed a number of good pulls already and only spent a little on chronos stones, which I was happy to do just to support the game. There are however a couple things I’d like to see taken into consideration. Number one, it’d be incredibly nice if a mechanic were out into place to sell, dismantle, or discard old equipment. I’ve got so many exp badges laying around my inventory that I don’t need, and would love to clean it up some. Secondly, I wasn’t expecting the dungeon from the Absolute Zero Chain episode to permanently disappear when beaten, and still have a lot of kills to go to get the enemy study trophies from there. Doing it in Another Dungeon could take days, if not weeks of work, so it’d be cool if this dungeon could be added to the Records Room. I know it’s unlikely since it’s not part of the main story but hey, gotta ask right? :p But yeah, overall I’m very pleased with this game. Looking forward to continue playing.
Edit: okay so I found out how to get back to that dungeon. XD Inventory Management would still be a nice feature though.
