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!
I liked this game very much. Yostar has made another nice game I will look forward to.
Edit: Please make an English language feature or English app version of it. And let us players have the same data of the progress we made, and the characters we have, if there is a seperate English app. I just want to see my data and progress in an english version, and English is kind of use friendly for people like me who are intermediates in Japanese language.
Sound: As the game highlight, are beautifully made
Most of these songs fall into future bass genre (further down, kawaii bass). Energetic yet relaxing, and don't bombarded us with some braindead rocknroll or chaotic symphony like some certain unpopular game out there.
Gameplay: Chibi battle, map are kinda linearity
4 in-field, 2 off-field. All these little characters doing AA & cast passives on their own, us players only have control over when/how/where to cast their actives (EX). So it's kind of boring.
Team setup also affect their positions so make sure done it right. Especially in PvP combat where every factor count.
Very casual play, daily things can be done within 10~15 minutes. Event first clears in 30 minutes. PvP can be skipped all together if you're lazy enough.
Storyline: Well writen but could've been better. Most of them just scratch/going around certain events.
There's no depth into elementary thing like how haloes, kivotos realm works, why students carry guns around, why they're resistance to ballistic, or mystery about incomprehensible beings (ie gods). Nothing yet.
Value:
Every month generally get 1~2 events, 1 sougousen, 1 daikessen & daily pvp + maintenance so
≈ 2400 per event, 1000 souryokusen, 1x10 gacha ticket daikessen (assumed both landed in gold rank), about 720+2000+1000+25*30
for reaching top 10 then stay top 200 during season.
plus 720~1200 per maintenance
Sum up about 10~12k + 1x10 ticket per month.
Whaling aspect
-1600 pyroxenes/1000JPY/30 days
-792 pyroxenes/480JPY/15 days
-6600 pyroxenes/10k JPY (limited 3 per month)
-4800 pyroxenes/10k JPY, unlimited purchase
After whaling hard enough you may gain about 1k pyro more per month with some extra ingame resources.
Not worth whaling, imho. Unless you SIMP.
And so for reference
per each banner: 3% (0.7% Pickup, 2.3% offrate) ★★★, 18.5% ★★
Each x1 pull cost 120 pyroxenes, each x10 pull guaranteed a 2★ so they're essentially the same
There are no pity system so in the end you might end up nothing.
Each banner spark level set at 200 (these number won't be carry over to next banner), so you will need at least 24000 pyros before doing any pulling.
Blue Archive is a gacha game that emphasise in issuing commands, upgrading your characters, shoot crowds of people to defend yourself and teaching your students how to kill. In this game, you play as "John-Sensei" with your sidekick, the SHIT-TIM iPad knockoff Ai, Arona fish. You will command your students from various academy to victory and try not to get yourself in a court for engaging assault against minors. *bomb montage editing plays*
I think this game is pretty cool. The characters are all nice and the gameplay is pretty good too. The characters all look pretty and each character has a fitting personality and their voice is fitting and nice. The music and sound effects are also pretty good and nice to listen too. I don't know the storyline so I have nothing to say about it. My only problem is the gacha is once again its just hard to get who you want and I am not suprised. Overall I think its pretty good and you should try the game! Its cute and very pretty.
eiii.. blue archives ok short story its just a chibi waifu with western blood in em although they were Japanese cause damn they can shoot right into your cultured sh¡t
~ okay first gameplay like i said 3d chibi shooting game 3rd camera action well abit boring since it's has auto so you probably autoing or semi auto for the skills.
~ character design & art emmm they all waifu materials even tha lolies ahemm and most important booba waifu like why this game is so cultured again?
~ but the important thing in gacha the grinding times is none at here ya you can just skip and stack the operation < means 100 times or whatever you want > for the stage that already cleared
~ gacha rate emm probably oke but don't worry this game is F2p last time i played
~ storyline well idk im not Japanese but the global is already out so might try the global
i retired already playing the games since the game isn't really popular long ago like almost all guild that i join is dead players rip. overall good games
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...
From a casual f2p player's perspective, This game has a lot of good points all in all. The music and art design makes the game emmersive(top notch), the gacha is tolerable even as a f2p player, and the rewards are pretty generous (events/quests/story). Unless you're not somekind of a gacha game connoisseur or somesh*t who nitpicks games here and there, this should be a good game to get into. If you're a casual gacha game enjoyer like myself, then feel free to try it(not sponsored btw XD).
Blue archives
good games but kinda boring

Tha games art for tha waifu is stunning well imma anime artists btw
overall worth to play easy grid less likely eat your time !!
playing this on the 2nd week of rerolling hard...
the good stuff :
+ BGM is pretty catchy, probably this is the open gate for people to know future bass genre
+ great graphics, great motion animation cutscenes when doing bond chara story, even the in-game 3d models are great
+ the system is pretty similar with Priconnect, except this game doesn't need skip ticket for skipping the stage (you need to 3 star the stage first to unlock skip feature) and no clan battle (not yet)
+ lots of apologems cuz they always f*cked up things
+ (new update) gacha now giving additional charas fragments when you got dupe depend on what base star the chara is
the bad stuff :
- the gacha is as bad as fgo despite having the same rate as Priconnect (SSR 2.5%), and also they always do release 2 new charas on a separate pickup rate banner at the same time
- (updated) the new special weapon feature (which is really makes the units more OP) only unlocked when you already *5 some charas, makes it more advantages to P2W people
- lots of missing content/detail, like some chara doesn't have voice on their story cutscenes, chara doesn't move their mouth during voice cutscenes, or maybe doesn't have the cutscenes at all..
- lots of bugs, especially UI screen bugs, its soo annoying that you need to restart the game to fix it..
- either the devs were understaffed or lazy, it's because they never do maintenance on time (they always extend it), or some bugs that didn't fixed even after long MT, i hope this devs don't go into DW route..
- Kinda minor stuff, you can't see how many mats do you have on the map select, you can only see it on character equipment upgrade screen, sometimes you need this for efficiency (you don't have to go back and forth for seeing the mats)
