An action-packed, cross platform open world RPG. It excels with its fast, exhilarating action and attractive graphics, despite a weak storyline and unbalanced sound issues. The key to its future success lies in how well the character development and story are further refined.
It's beautiful when it's not stuttering, at least. A bunch of hotfixes later and I'm still lagging and hitting high pings despite being in the recommended server. The voice acting could be good, but it lacks direction; some of the characters sound like they're trying to lull me to sleep with how monotone their voices are. The world (from what I've played and experienced so far) is highly inspired by music and sound, yet the OST is forgettable; maybe only the login music is nice. The combat is nice, it's flashy but it lacks weight, which perhaps is my personal preference since the game seems to be going for a lightning fast combat style so take that with a grain of salt. My experience is positive, but the lagging is dampening my overall joy with the game. What could otherwise be a solid 8 or even 9 is heavily sabotaged by its rushed released.
Game doesn't run well, even though I got a decent PC. On phone, it's even worse. It makes the phone so hot it crashes sometimes. Also, there is an ABSURD amount of bugs in the game. Voice acting and the story narrative are among the worst I've seen in a game. Combat is great, but it's a shame it's locked behind what I would consider a "Walmart version" of a certain other gacha game. I really wanted to enjoy this game, but all the issues and the fact that the best part, that being combat is gated behind a putrid story and lack luster open world makes me not want to play it sadly. Also, RNG elements are terrible as well, worse than any other gacha I've played. Atleast the gacha aspect itself isn't that bad. But since the rest of the game is underwhelming looking past the unpolished state. Yeah, it saddens me to give it a low score since I wanted to like it but.... man...
