A good game ruined by the worst translation and optimitzation I've ever seen. Some sentences seem straight outta google translate, they dont introduce any chara so suddenly you are becas and there is some gal called guinevere and you've gotta fight with mechas? the gacha is... man. its shit. the art is pretty good but can be overshadowed by many other games lol sound is meh. gameplay could be better optimized but is not bad. all in all? this dnglish ver is awful.
The English version is finally arrived..shall we talk about it?
First thing first i kinda expected that the trans gonna be bad because the cbt player is somehow kinda helping them to translate which is not a good idea, but most of the translations were patched to fix the bad translation, so there's that. (Although the bad TL still present in some side story and at the beginning of the story, which hopefully gonna be fixed sooner).
Second yeah the game is NICHE not in the bad way but.. Yeah it had the budget but the audience was rather small.
With that out of the way i'm gonna talk why this game was loved by its fans.
Pros
-Art : The game had live2D characters and also costume that features unique animation for the wearer, but the one that steal the show for me is the mecha art.. Because it looks great!
-Music : If you're the fans of Hiroyuki S music you're in for the treat because it had many awesome music and to top it off individual mecha and characters their own theme music.
-Characters : It had waifu and it had husbando each come with unique design and skill to match up your preference.
-Story : The game also had some good story and side story and it had it own theme and references to the other franchise such as cowboy bebop and etc.
Cons
-Bad Ai : Like it's really bad... Sometimes your AI did their job well and sometimes they're braind dead, especially in pvp.
-Stingy Stamina : Yes... You read it right the stamina filled really slow, although they're giving you free 50 stamina in the bar 2X but it can be missed if you didn't get it on the right time which is kinda frustrating.
-Slow Progression : I mean.. Its not bad per se, but the game really had a slow progression even if you spend money and stuff you still had a long way to reach the point of stability, some can bear with slow progression and some don't, but if you manage to stick around you might find the fun.
The game was good overall and it kinda feels like a rough gem, but if you like what you heard so far it doesn't hurt to try the game.
Very good game with deep customization system for mecha. The combat is automatic which may turn off someone looking for an action-inducing gameplay. However, if you are looking for a strategic game then this might be for you.
Pilots, co-pilot, equipments, pet systems can change the playstyle of your mech drastically and the game encourage you to try and build your own mech. With the restore system and a little bit of gold you can get back all your investment without having to grind again to build another mech.
Now I must say as first glance the game might appear to be p2w with mech gacha, dupe systen and pilot gacha. However, for pilot you can get for free if you have patience thanks to its bar system. Most of mecha in the game can be farmed for free with Black Market, where you can buy shards, and random events appearing in main story. With enough patience and good management you can get great SSS mech without spending too much. And A mechs are actually good, they can be upgraded without dupe and will carry you through to late game.
For the main source of gems, it comes from PvP. However, the rank in pvp system are dictated through frequency of participating and not winning. Hence, even if you are underleveled you still can get lot of gems.
I apologize for my rather long review. But I hope it would encourage some people to give the game a chance and enjoy it.
the game has really good art as well as enjoyable music, definitley one of its big postives.
main gameplay requires very minimal interaction, but there are a few other minigames(and a gamemode which allows you to take control of a mech) that partially make up for this.
the game is pretty f2p friendly, even though you need gems(similar to a premium currency but not really) to get resources through the pilot gacha(which has low chances of getting pilots) and markets(for mechs, mech shards, equipment etc.) there are plenty of other methods for getting pilots and mechs that require a lot of patience, luck and grinding.
overall pretty good game, its only downsides(for me anyway) is that the game's progression and resource obtainment is very slow and hard. it's not as hard as it seems, just takes a while to get anything done.
btw if you're interested in playing the game, i recommend checking out the subreddit for this game as it has a beginner's guide and an FAQ. most of your questions will be answered there, some require a quick google search and some you can find out yourself in the game's academy section.
i hope this has been very helpful for you
Ignore dem low rating cause they only played after its release, of course theres gonna be a bug and error
And for f2p it is Actually f2p friend ly unless u wanna fight the top ten arena but its Actually viable to top 100 in end game arena using free mech, hell the first mech vassago was one of top tier pick especially the ma version just because how good it is and u can still use ss tier mech or even a tier mech.
Overall this game really good but the only one held back was the gameplay for some people.
Still waiting for some collab with other mecha franchise.
one of the best mobile game i've ever play, the battle is mostly auto except for the PVP arena where it fully auto. Most of the Mech shard is farmable. event also quiet generous, mostly you will get at least 2 copies of the event mech.
the game also have the best colabs unlike other game where mostly colabs with well known title. This game colabs bring nostalgic feeling with older title mech anime such as Dancouga, mazinger, dangaioh, tekkaman and the most recent patlabor
This game is now having its 2nd anniversary yet the overall UI design still feels prehistoric with no quality of life changes. I can't even find any way to bind my account to something else, if there even is one.
The only good things I can say about this game is that the art is nice, especially the mecha which look amazing. The other is that it has some good music as well.
The gacha is a nightmare since you need 4 dupes to max out a mech, which is necessary for the retrofit which makes old mecha very good. Top tier mecha seem to be locked to collab units which is another red flag
Overall pretty bad, it feels like this game has much room for easy improvement that it fails to make use of.
It's almost like the devs DON'T want you to enjoy the game. Gameplay isn't that responsive, story-based events are far, far too difficult to complete...like seriously frustratingly stupid levels of difficulty. Just login every day to click all of tje exclamation points and log out. There is no auto repeat and really nothing rewarding or exciting to keep players going...and ive been playing for less than a minth.
The pilot gacha is one of the worst gachas I've ever seen in gaming. puts Brown Dust, Epic Seven, Destiny Child all to shame.
Like others have said before me, the story is a little jank with awful translations, but the music is OK. In fact, the music and likely outsourced artwork are the only redeeming qualities to this game.
HARD PASS. 😖
I like the artwork and the music, the story and gameplay are decent (at least for me) . Gacha is ok, not that bad but you need many dupes to fully upgrade your mecha which is needed if you're into pvp or endgame pve. this game is also heavy grind, for me this is one of the grindest game that I've ever play. The translation also bad, like sometimes it's really bad that it looks like a cheap game. Overall this game is ok for me, I have fun with it. If you're into mecha and waifu you should at least try this and decide it for yourself whether it's good or bad.
The game is good. kinda like shump games but very good in customization of both crew and mecha. the gacha is quite decent. the art is excellent. songs from Sawano make it good too, its a recommend too if you listen to his songs.
