If they're serious about this game being just an "April Fools" game, then they really made a lot of effort just for them to let us play it in a week.
The rating system really lowers what I think of this game, should be 4 star but, the rating system here says it's a bit lower.
-Worth playing for a week?
Short answer: First of all, the game uses 3d chibi. Second, the game mechanic is like an auto battler card game, but with 3d chibi. So if you can tolerate or like it then it is even when it's only japanese version because it won't be hard to learn. Although if you don't like luck based game then I'd say no. There's no gacha but you still need rng at least from what I think to win till the end of the match since you need unit dupes to lvl up units, need same unit roles for buffs. And the units that you can choose from the pile can be really random sometimes.
Long answer:
The game is similar to Teamfight Tactics.
If you don't know what that is then it's an auto battler game where you setup units on a board and compete against 7 other players till you're the last one left standing.
Either you'll be fighting preset enemies or a random player from the other 7 you've been queued up.
If you lose, you're hp will be reduced, if it reaches 0 then that's game over for you but the game will continue for others until there's only 1 player left standing.
There's no gacha here. But you'll still need luck because the units that you can use in the beginning of the match will be random. You'll have to choose units from the pile of around 4-6 units I think? It's like choosing a card.
You can level up your units by getting 3 dupes of the same character level, you can add more unit limit to the board, you can equip gear, put units with the same role for buffs.
I think most of or maybe even all priconne units are in this game in 3d. so I can't really imagine this being just an April Fools for all that effort.
Provisional ranking until the game is up.
Played Autochess and many varients (TFT, Underlords, Magic Chess from Mobile Legends).
Played Priconne.
HAVE BOTH IN ONE GAME? HELL YEAH.
Seriously though, it looks very high quality. Those models could be reused for other games and I wouldnt even complain.
Game looks a little simpler (main mechanic seems to be guild bonus which would normally streamline you to only a few builda) and meant to be faster like Magic Chess.
Can see why it is a limited mode (it is not meant to be very balanced) and I dont think they want to spend too much time on a game that brings zero revenue.
The opening to the story of how the main characters got into this game is shown in the original game Princess Connect redive and then it continues here. You play online auto battler matches with 7 other players and it progresses the story and unlocks new leaders and new furnitures in the guild house. Get all the characters and you unlock boss mode, every run in the online auto battler records a party you can use to attack the boss, do it multiple times you can defeat the boss to reach the ending of the story.
This is such a high quality game but content wise is very small, this is basically a priconne event happening outside of the original game for a fresh new look, enjoy it while it's still available within a week.
for a april fools joke this is pretty well made game, i dont believe this is a joke but more like testing the waters(beta testing) there is no way that a game made for april fools joke to be a week long playable, if it will receive huge reception from the fanbase hopefully this joke game became a real game in the near future. It actually looks interesting.
honestly for an april fools joke they really made the game really well (who knows maybe this is just a secret beta test disguised as an april fools joke)
the graphics is honestly amazing and the chibi for the characters looks very cute, it has voice acting for the characters and a short story aswell.
this gameplay is really good its similar to TFT and surprisingly i havent even encountered a single bug which is very surprising.
this game is very amazing and well made that i would recomm4 playing it even if it will only last for 1 week
Its really great auto chess game and a fun one too, if this only for april fools such a shame for this game to go.
But if they will develop this game in the future, the gameplay need more work on the animation is great but most of the time the animation really slow and because of that unit die before they use the skill
Battle other players in Auto Chess game with cute 3D characters from Pricon
Pro+
Easy to understand
Fully voices
Cute 3D lobby
Cons-
Too fast between rounds
Hard to equip items
Sometimes luck isn't on your side
A Very Interesting and Fun game despite being an April Fools Game that has had a lot of effort and time put into. Cygames should release this as a permanent game sooner rather than later IMO
