Here's my first impressions as a casual gamer:
The graphics are ok.
The UI looks a little basic and outdated imo but that's not a huge issue. The character illustrations look great, the characters are more on the "cute/kawaii" side. In combat, they turn into decent looking 3D chibis, which I'm not a big fan of, but you might be.
The BGM is amazing.
The OSTs are mostly EDM/J-Pop, but there's also chill instrumental tracks. I can say for sure that this game has some of the best OSTs. The game isn't fully voiced, but the existing voice-overs are very good.
I haven't progressed much through the story, but from what I've seen, it's pretty enjoyable. You play as a teacher with, I should've guessed it, amnesia, you wake up in Kivotos, a futuristic city full of different academies and students, and now you have to help the city with it's various problems and cases.
The teacher is undoubtedly a pervert (like me hehehe), but hey! Unlike in other games, where the MC is just the typical "omg I have amnesia I'm so clueless I need plot armor QAQ", the MC has CHARACTER. The other characters we encounter in the story aren't uninteresting either, some of them (especially Aru omg ily aru) can be extremely funny as well. Lorewise, it has a LOT. You can literally deduce the backstory of BA with the name itself and the first two sentences. And I also heard that the story gets better later on...
Now, my main problem with this game is that the gameplay is extremely repetitive amd boring. Basically, the characters fight by themselves and you have no control over their position and movements whatsoever. The only thing you can do is use their respective skills, which deal extra damage, give buffs/debuffs or heals etc., but that's it. You could even say the game plays itself. That also causes the game to be very meta-based and the performance only depends on whether your characters are good or not. And since it's a gacha game, getting a good one might not be that easy...
Although the gameplay is so boring and repetitive, I still keep coming back to this game mainly because of its amazing soundtracks and immersive storyline.
Overall, if you don't mind auto-battling and appreciate good BGM and game stories, I think this game is worth giving a try.
Further topics:
Gacha:
Tbh I can't really say. I haven't done any gacha at all (except for the one they force you to do), so I can't tell if the rates are good or bad. But I do think that the game is pretty generous when it comes to gems (currency you use to gacha). Within the first 3 weeks of playing, I even got 50 rolls for free, even though I only play like 25 min per day.
Farming:
There's auto-farming for stages you've perfected. You click a button, and then you get the drops as if you were doing the stage again. So don't worry about investing too much time into farming.
Stamina:
I used to be worried about the stamina running out, but it's actually the opposite. For a while, I couldn't even get rid of the stamina I had (I was on 999 stamina which is the system max, it's impossible to get more). As for now I still have around 800. Let's see how it goes for the future...
Let me be honest with this game, despite the game itself was fun and challenging, it really lack of value and gameplay system is messed up.
You dont have control over your unit placement like how they should not going in horizontal system, they should have formation list like square, triangle, cross etc to ensure they are not being close to each other when deployed.
Our characters are really having seizure when defeating all enemies while moving to next section where they will standing still and wasted 3 seconds like an idiot (even more when they used skill on that delay), not trying to move forward ASAP. At least, PAUSE THE TIMER when they moving to next section because it wasted so many precious time when it matter.
When you dont have required unit to battle especially on specific boss, you are being beaten to pulp when bosses have certain skill or extremely tanky on unfavored terrain, it was almost impossible to beat them before time runs out even on maxed skill level (need limit break especially on special events).
Value: Summon system was the atrocious one when it comes to PITY SYSTEM, 200 pulls and you only get pity one when it comes to special units (season event only) while non-special units (including new one) will spawn between 50-100 pulls average even if you are lucky, you will get 2 or 3 at once with cost of another hundred summons again.
Played for 1 year and my motivation was at low point, barely any activities like doing it 15 mins and close the app while waiting cafe and daily stamina filled again. Rewards are extremely stingy and maintenance only give you FIXED 720 Crystals for 6-8 hours maintenance which is really low for such long maintenance (1200 is fine) and events barely give you any crystals at all. Stocking 20k crystals (2 months worth including events) and gone instantly on Limited-time characters with nothing to get at all.
I really love Shiroko. Like, a lot. Like, a whole lot. You have no idea. I love her so much that it is inexplicable, and I'm ninety-nine percent sure that I have an unhealthy obsession. I will never get tired of listening that sweet, angelic voice of hers. If isekai is real, I'll kill myself and then be born "B.A" verse and my life goal to meet up her and just say hello to her. I fall asleep at night dreaming of her holding a personal concert for me, and then she would be sorry tired that she comes and cuddles up to me while we sleep together. If I could just hold her hand for a brief moment, I could die happy. If given the opportunity, I would lightly nibble on her ear just to hear what kind of sweet moans she would let out. Then, I would hug her while she clings to my body hoping that I would stop, but I only continue as she moans louder and louder. I would give up almost anything just for her to look in my general direction. No matter what I do, I am constantly thinking of her. When I wake up, she is the first thing on my mind. When I go to school, I can only focus on her. When I go come home, I go on the computer so that I can listen to her beautiful voice. When I go to sleep, I dream of her and I living a happy life together. She is my pride, passion, and joy. If she were to call me "Sensei," I would probably get diabetes from her sweetness and die. I wish for nothing but her happiness. If it were for her, I would give my life without any second thoughts. Without her, my life would serve no purpose. I really love shiroko.(i already touched grass and i know this is kinda weird)
I minus the story because tbh i don't know Japanese so later if they release a global ver I'll put in the storyline. Graphic not too breathtaking but polish enough, all char are chibi but the details dev put in is good, base on the weapon the animation is differ: taking cover, reloading weapon, passive action... Also some of the girls will have their own animation go with passive action like one sniper will actually prone and take aim while there are no cover in front so a plus for the dev effort. Gacha rate is not bad and they give you lots of freebie so roll them all .
so gameplay is your typical gacha game, wait MP point then use skill other than that is auto depending on your a.i.
arena is full auto, a massive turn back. when china gacha game competing with bringing real time pvp with manual control or other thing to make the game more enjoyable, this game use full auto with a full copy of princess connect's arena meaning BOT or A.I opponent everywhere what a stupid decision or otherwise this is just their CASH-MILKING game.
this game also have a lot of game breaking bug, energy didn't increase even 1 in half a day, still at 8/115.
game stuck after every arena fight.
color broken without any trigger, complete random.
crash at stage screen then need to start from beginning.
worth ?? nope, this is a typical game that will dying in 6 months.
reason publisher or developer don't care about the game status, and this game's progression is a sad copy from princess connect game with alot of hole. what they care only release new banner n new character that nothing to do with the story at all. ah money money money
well the event release right now also a complete copy from priconne with less reward and stage.
"Blue Archive" [JP] is mobile jrpg games that was developed by Yostar. The same company games that was developed "Arknights".
The graphics and animations of the game are beautiful and adorable, especially when they use blue and white as the theme colors for this game.
The gameplay battle systems also good with adroble character animation. I hope English version coming soon.

#KOPITARIKGAMING
it's time become teacher/先生 。
Gameplay :
- the game is like combined kinda Girls frontline and Princess connect but with cute 3D chibi models plus their animation ofc.
- this game is about timing when it comes to combat plus teambuild, the system is like Arknights for those who have experience the game, like its need point to deploy operator but blue archieve need the point for use the character ability and can be tricky.
Sounds/Music/BGM :
- it's banger, similiar to PSYQUI, Moe Shop, EDM etc.
Story line :
- Berry good :> it's about student and you the sensei + their slice of life , if you cant understand japanese just use screen translator ( Ever translator is good )
Character :
- Clean character illutration style plus the design with School concept.
- Character academy : Abydos, Gehena, Millenium, Sankaikyou, trinity.
lastly,
- it's a gacha game, just to remind you. there's no pity system, and i cant say it's Friendly F2P or not.120 premium currency for 1 gacha, and you get 30 crystals each stage first clear 3 star. ( lets put event login reward and similiar thing aside. ) im veteran gacha gamer, i've played FGO, GBF, E7, AL, GF, AK, Pricon, Grandblue, 7sins, Genshin and many more. you can trust me on this.
- they do give 50 total gacha in the front. its up to you want to spent them all and reroll, in my case i only do 30 pulls and save my premium currency for next since im at F2P state atm (at the moment) because i can't buy the monthly pack restricted by Gplay.
- Dont hear those tier list, if you like specific character just use it. but if you're player thats like beating the game and meta slave its also fine, but for those who want to enjoy the game progress i suggest you to not hear those kind of thing and start build chracter u like.
- its a good game you have to give it a try before reading ppl review.
Blue Archive
A game in the world where America decided to legalize the minority aged from 11 above to carry real Firearmes in school to protect their self from pedophile and bullying, yup real guns.
Which involve 20% of crime cases happen in school around Kivitos, just like in real life American school.
that's why the Kivitos Decided that "Well why not let them bring guns, F@CK IT! let them have guns.".
(and it make it even worst)
Which cause alot of problem in the process such as Corruption, School financial crisis, Civil War, Gang war, Bank robbery and Robot Monster going beserk which lead for the President disappear misteriously.
The why You "the Sensei" have been in charged to guide Kivitos youth, having a power to take over Kivitos to protect from the Yakuza's, Chinese Police, Time Travelers, Bosuzokus, Robot Kaijus and... Power Ranger in Mech? (Holy Sh!t! that was f@cking sick) to save our cute anime school girls for their better future.
The graphics is AMAZING,really high detailed but for lower tier phones like mine it does heat up pretty quickly,i myself haven't seen something good like this since gaming pc era
the gameplay is quite unique,simillar to the sunrider series but each encounter had a smaller (actual) battle in it with card game like (skill) system,pretty unique if i must say so myself
the OST is pretty light no? i was expecting a lil darl experience like Arknights but this would do sadly it's kinda repetitive and starting to get boring after a while
as for the rate? it's f***kin awesome! from each tutorial you would get a 3 star instantly (yes that means you could get your waifu from the tutorial alone!) and rerolling is very easy here compared to some other i've tried,too bad it must be a 3 katakana was it? in other words normal alphabet like this can"t be used when rerolling but that's fine no?
honestly knowing Yostar i can expect the game to have over hundreds of waifu's to choose from and i just hope they are gonna be kind with apologems and free gems for us F2P players
Note: Almost every scene could be used as a wallpaper,they're just to good to miss
oh and i forgot to mention,in the beginning you get to choose a name twice (the first one can be anything) and when you log in the the game the to claim daily rewards,guess what? your assistant calls you by your name! (the first name you input) and she does it very cleanly it actually surprised me how they can make something like this come true!
This is my review after a week play
Graphic : Cute
Sound : This my reason im play this game, they make amazing soundtrack
Gameplay : well actually good but bad for consumption RAM, seriously i'm playing just 2 hour and this game consumption almost 1,5gb RAM ( maybe that's reason some player playing this game on emulator )
Story : well actually good if this game back again not consumption RAM too much
Value : well this game suitable with whaler because 1% SSR chance and 0,5% SSR rate up chance, so if you a whaler this game is good for you
Well i dont care about meta character because for me " waifu more than meta " but as long as they dont fixed consumption RAM i will not play this game
