Overall, the reviews convey a positive appreciation for the game's visuals, character designs, and story depth. However, these points are overshadowed by severe criticism towards the game's monetization strategy, particularly the introduction of an expensive skin gacha system and problematic powercreep. While the game's combat and aesthetic aspects receive praise, the mixed response to the gacha mechanics and concerns over large storage requirements present a significant hindrance. Dissatisfaction is further fueled by perceived corporate greed and lack of player respect, affecting the game's recommendation.

Positive Points

  • The game features engaging 3D visuals and character models, offering a visually appealing experience.
  • Several users praised the story for its depth and character development, noting it as one of the stronger aspects of the game.
  • The game's combat system, similar to XCOM, is appreciated by players, especially for those who enjoy turn-based strategy games.
  • The game was initially well-received for its generosity in terms of in-game currency and pulls.

    • Negative Points

  • A major criticism is the introduction of a skin gacha system, which players found to be a predatory monetization strategy requiring up to $200 for a single skin.
  • The game was criticized for powercreep, making new characters that significantly outclass existing ones, leading to a lack of balance.
  • Some players experienced significant bugs, including lengthy installation times and stability issues.
  • The game requires a large storage space (over 60GB), which surprised and inconvenienced some users.

    • Mixed Points

  • While some players enjoy the game's story, others find it confusing and hard to follow without prior knowledge of the franchise.
  • The gacha system, modeled after Genshin Impact, has provoked mixed responses, with some users appreciating it, while others criticize its pull rates and reliance on duplicates.

    • Common Themes

  • A theme of dissatisfaction exists around monetization practices, particularly regarding skin gachas and character/weapon pull systems, affecting overall player satisfaction.
  • There is a strong appreciation for the game's aesthetic and character design, with many players enjoying the artwork and animations.
