This is how mobile games should be. Also one of the saltiest mobile game out there. It is like having succubus as your girlfriend, it sucks you drain but you will always come back for more
Everything iis already perfect but it's just people misunderstood that this is a P2W game... First of all this isn't PVP game but a ONLINE VN CO-OP RPG game. You can grind to be a pro.
Beginner's guide: https://gamewith.net/fgo/article/show/8682
For those who willingly to paid. Only paid for a servant you want or 100% banner. You will get broke otherwise cause some even pay 500$ and get nothing. I got my Cu Culain Alter from there so as Bikini Archer Artoria waifu... 100% 5 star banner is always worth every bucks. Will only the 5% of those 5 star can be pretty useless though. I can't expect you gonna be THAT misfortune.
List of any servants that can help you even with low luck: https://gamewith.net/fgo/article/show/8445
Here's my account 270,710,747 in case you are stuck. Another guide is try have a friend that can help you in any scenario e.g. my Cu Culain which is a Bersecker that can survive most quest and can deal good damage. I added "ignoring invicible" that will still attack any enemy even with evade or invisible. That is what type of "Can be use in any scenario" kinda friend. Everyday the list of most use support is my Cu Culain even to this day xD
He's OP with that after all.
Also for English server here's a fun fact... We already have a future sight kinda information based on the JP which this server will follow straight to the line. Read any info or future servants in here
https://fategrandorder.fandom.com
Those will be 100% accurate.
Also kept Friend point to use for events only. That's how you speed run any events with event craft essence.
Now pls if you excuse... Don't go around and trash talk this game again... You may not know but this is the No. 2 game too in actual online gaming rank. The game is always fair for how much amount you grind. All pro or whale like me have those OP combination support because of grinding too... I won't get that craft that gave "Ignoring invicible" if I didn't grind Valentine's Day event.
Also another fair thing for this game is... Majority of all SSR can solo all quest in the game if done right... YES! It is possible even with Lancer Vs Saber can be possible. Strategies and grinding is what really important. SSR will still be useless if you don't grind. Even a 3 star can deal up to 10M. Even a 4 star can deal up to 1M without any buff at all like "Anne and Mary."
Watch YouTube you will see... Yeah... Even just all 3 star lower servant can carry your team. Ever heard of forever 1HP game run? That was 3 star Cu Culain lancer BTW... A regular normal and weak 3 star you trash talk about...
To be fair, it's a quiet interesting game (if you don't skip the story completely), graphics to me are really pleasant which surprised me at first, the best part of this being the noble phantasm and of course I would recommend a decent phone to be able to appreciate the graphics as much as possible. The rewards, history of the servants you summon, the ascension which reveals the looks of servants. However, if you're a sucker for the voice acting then I personally think each line and voice does a great job of capturing the essential persona of the many servants there is.
The only warning I will give is that you get really informed about what is gacha, when to do it and when not to do it. For this reason I almost entirely wanted to throw my phone through my room.
Of course with enough persistence to not to pull or just been the luckiest son of a gun you could ever be, you'll probably get the servant wanted.
Also, after you got the basic. I assure you this YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
Prime example how dedicated fanbase can push your product way beyond what it is really worth. Turn based 80% rng combat, 1% gacha rates without failsafe mechanism and facebook campaigns sometimes being so generous as to give enough for single gacha pull. Story is good altho translation is pretty bad at the start but improves in later chapters. Being on top in grossing charts would make you think that they can spend some more money and have at least fully voiced story but nah. You have to grind for everything and cant even level units by simply using them. Kudos for releasing new content regularly and ease to clear story, even without pulling those 1% units.
Overall at best mediocer game which got overhyped into next plane of existence. But hey, if you enjoy franchise its not that bad. I personally am still playing it cause it gives context for alot of doujins which is a prime reason to play anything.
I have deleted this game countless of times and I've redownloaded it countless of times, heck I'm redownloading fgo as I'm writing this review. So I am telling you this based on experience, once you play this game you will never be the same as before
(˵ ͜。 ͡ʖ ͜。˵)
First of all.. i always wanted to play this game because I am a Fan of Fate/Stay night series and the anime fgo as well but when i play this game it gets me excited about to burst of energy to play but you know Game master of this game.. let me blunt with this game.. I like the game so much the story is so so good (feels like dont need to watch the anime) but the only problem is the pull of summon servants.. i can't take it anymore.. its so disgusting I save 120 star quarts and i didn't even get 5* or even 4* servants??!! it's awful right??!! have some justice for the players want this game.. I can't even save data through Gmail or whatsoever.. I almost want to pay for it but I'm not noob to pay for this sh*t if I don't get a 5* servant for 120 stars I save up.. lul.. so goodluck for this sh*t though.. china is going down anyway.. thanks.. that's all my regrets in playing this game.. and i waste my time for time killing session in my business.
Beyond good and bad gacha games, there lies Fate Grand Order. Is this game good? Yes, is this game bad? Yes.
Fate Grand Order in its totality is a game either you would love it wholeheartedly or disgust it.
~"It's hell that you're walking into"
1. Let first talk about the bad. The gameplay. FGO at its core is a turn-based game yet it decided to make this system turn out to be more infuriating than it would be due to the RNG factor in distributing command cards during battles. Is this really a negative aspect? subjective, but as the first glance, one would often deem this mechanic as annoying. Combining with the lack of auto-farming, and hell you get yourself a second job during events or just simply want to upgrade your favourite servants.
2. RNG. I sometimes viewed FGO as an embodiment of gambling. Everything is decided by RNG, you want materials? too bad, luck is not on your side; want to get your favourite servants? well pray alot and hope for the best because the game does not have any safety net. Due to this very reason, the game soon becomes a chore to just simply play.
3. OST? there are good songs such as Grand Battle 3 but others are often forgettable.
4. Graphics? The game is far from having the best. Many may argue that the graphics is still good and great to look at. However, I disagreed. Comparing it to other gacha games in the market and you often feel the lackluster, the clunky animations, outdated UI and traumatized gacha animation (joking).
Then why are there many people recommending it?
Now we talk about the good.
1. The Story. Fate Grand Order at its core design is a single player game requiring internet connection. Its strongest element to stand as the most successful gacha game lie in its captivating story consisting of many arcs. You will encounter many historical figures being told in a new perspective of anime and its quirkiness fighting for humanity. Does it sound interesting? Hell yes. There are indeed some bad arcs but its consistency in quality has been improved over times with better writing, better dialogues and loveable servants that you soon find yourself being encaptivated by their personality.
2. And that why we finally came back to the abyss of salt, gacha. Abysmal rate, shady, unfair...even with those words being thrown around I consider this aspect as a controversial side. Why would I even roll for this servant knowing that I will never get him/her? Simple, because I love them and that is enough reason for many people falling into the abyss. Yet, if you stare at the abyss long enough, you will eventually compromise with it. Even with the abysmal rate, there is the satisfaction to finally get what you want. It is under this contradiction that every servants appear to be greater than just an illustration waiting to be collected.
3. Finally, gameplay. Yes, I did view this aspect as infuriating and tedious. Yet, beneath these, there is a deeper strategic element to play the game. Coming up with your own team to compete against difficult contents, creating your own strategy without following whatever "meta" would yield a great fulfillment because you finally beat the game with your favourite servants who sometimes are deemed as worthless. And you are the one to use them with their full potential.
So, Do I love or hate this game? None. For having many tedious parts, the experience with FGO is a memorial one at least for me. I love it for whatever it is but I will not recommend it for anybody. FGO is meant to be played, to throw it in the trash bin or dedicate your times to it; the verdict is yours to decide.
