Before I begin, I have to clarify that I only played the OBT and only know a bit of the official release from what others showed me.
First, the graphics. I could confidently say that the graphic quality of this game is really high and the burden it gives to your phone is not as much as other 3D games(looking at you HI3). The fact that they use anime style characters is also another plus.
The sound track and voice are pretty nice, they fit the mood and I have nothing to complain about. I personally did not get sick of it easily.
Next, the gameplay has some fair amount of problems, mostly the battle part because of its rather stiff controls and the RNG skill system. Dodging also feels rather difficult for a hack and slash type of game, especially since dodging is pretty much impossible while you are in the middle of an attack animation. Other than that, the game runs smoothly and there is nothing much to complain about.
I cannot comment on the storyline since the game is Chinese and I only know English.
Overall, this game is great and the only reason I refrain from playing is because I usually drop games that is not English rather quickly.
A great game that provides many unique contents after each updates. Great 3D graphics and gameplay. The UI could use some help as using the chat system is pretty troublesome.
Regarding the storyline, it is interesting, but there are some parts that seems weird and it was a bit hard to follow at the start.
Although the gathering materials for gacha is pretty difficult, playing F2P is still feasible, although there is still a line between F2P and P2P players.
On further note, this game and its gameplay is pretty unique, or at least it is for me since the controls seems pretty precise. It initially put me off and I quit after some days. But I then came back and got really into this game, so give it a chance.
Arknights | English
5.0To start of, Arknights is a game that has a tower defense system, add in gacha, grinding and a bit of base management. They mixed it well and below is my thoughts.
First off, the fact that the characters are all in anime style is already good for me. But still, their CGs are great, nice arts for the characters(with some of them being drawn by well known web artists), and home screen also looks nice with the atypical look, although there might be some who feel awkward towards it.
Next is sound, or I guess music. What can I say about this? Their OSTs are great, I even used the store OST as my ringtone. Home screen music gives that peaceful feeling, very nice, and etcetera. As for the character voice, I am not an expert in this field, but even though the storyline gets no voice, I still give it my like since they all sound really nice and seems to fit in character.
Gameplay, the game is mainly tower defense, which is how the fight works. If you find it too difficult and play more for the waifu and husbandos, worry not, YouTube has all the guides you need, just grind a bit and you will get strong enough in no time. Furthermore, your free units given during tutorial are usually good enough to get through most of the contents, personally, I only have one 6* that I received from the guarenteed 6* beginner gacha. Farming is also made a bit easier with the auto deploy function, although it could occasionally fail.
The gacha is also not bad. It has two systems, recruit and headhunt. Headhunt is basically your typical gacha with tickets and gacha currency. By the way, you can farm for more or less 2000 gacha currency each week, and 10 draws costs 6000 of the gacha currency, so you do not really have to whale unless you really want someone or feeling desperate. As for headhunt, it is like the recruit system in AzurLane and GirlsFrontline, but there is a tag system where you can only get 6* Operator with the Top Operator tag. Otherwise, you will only get a chance of getting 5* and lower operators. More explanation will take too much space, so try searching for newbie guide in YT for more info.
Lastly about gameplay, there is the base. At first, micro managing it feels annoying, but as you go on, it would not feel like much. Since I might take too mucb time explaining, I will skip this too.
Lastly, storyline. Most people in the game are animal girls or guys. A unique theme, yeah? But that is not all, the story has depth, each character has a story behind them, not told quite explicitly, but still there nonetheless. The world also has an interesting background, but to stop myself from spoiling, I will stop at saying, Amiya is a donkey(not, she is a rabbit, this is confirmed, further donkey jokes are memes)
Overall, Arknights is a nice game, has several unique and interesting points, not too gacha heavy, and not too grind heavy. This game feels more like something you do casually unless you decide to use money. As long as the game does not come to a stand still, I will most likely keep on playing.
