I have changed my review to reflect my thoughts after playing the official launch, considering my original review was based on the beta. This will be lengthy, so I'll save you the hassle of reading. The game has some really sketchy things in it that give me pause, but I think it is worth sticking to it if you like it. If you didn't enjoy Azur Lane, you will not enjoy Echoes of Pandora. The gameplay is strikingly similar with a few gimmicks added on top.
First, let's talk about the bad. ![[發怒]](/cdn/img/transparent.png){kind=spacer}
In the beta, you could infinitely roll the tutorial gacha and pull multiple SSR and SR. It was a free infinite 10x pull. I, myself, even rolled up to three SSR on it. In the official launch, however, you are limited to only being able to roll one SSR from a list of 5, but can still roll multiple SR. The most SR I saw in one of my rolls was five. Personally, I think this it's a tad scummy to change something that had the ability to give people a chance to have a specific unit they want or need to roll to play the game their way.
There are free and paid gems. The free gems can be used for a character gacha, and the rates are fine, but free gems take a very long time to get. I can't accurately say how long it takes to collect enough to roll, but you need 1500 to 10x pull, and I currently have 900 at chapter 2. Thats primarily due to one-time only missions. On top of this, there is a second gacha which requires cubes, which are easy to get, but the rates are utterly unacceptable.
SSR 0.35%
SR 2.25%
R 38.43%
N 58.97%
This is separate from the first gacha which has good rates and doesn't have N in the pool, but you will end up rolling it a lot because of how often they give you cubes.
There is a VIP system. It's trash. I don't think I need to tell anyone who's seen a VIP system before why it's trash, as it only appeals to whales, and not small spenders. It takes a lot of money to reach high VIP, which is the trap of the system.
The game also suffers from game-breaking bugs on launch, which is nothing new for live service game players. It usually doesn't speak much for the entertainment value of the game. So far, they've fixed bugs within the same day they occur.
Now, the good.
I'll be honest and say that the bad outweighs the good if you are looking at the game without any bias or emotion. It's quite clear that the main audience is not happy, as they mass 1-star review-bombed the game on Google Play.
It's the same game I played in the beta, minus the aforementioned issues I and many others have with it. It's still fun, the controls are responsive, and the graphics are great.
The voice acting is supreme, even though they didn't use it for any of the dialogue scenes, but if you can't understand it, I don't really understand why you would complain about it.
Taking everything into account, this is a pretty fucked launch for the game and it's going to hurt them monetarily, because it seems like they are appealing to whales, which just isn't a sustainable business model and always results in games closing within a year or two. I have hopes for this game, but if it gets any worse than this, I fear for its longevity.

It's an idle RPG, so don't expect much. The visuals are serviceable. It doesn't appear to be trying anything new, not that idle RPGs have a lot of room to improvise. The girls are
pretty cute, though.
These other reviews are useless, as expected of QooApp reviews.

-it is NSFW but very active currently.
In short, they nailed the aesthetics as well as the gameplay, and I feel very comfortable in spending money on this game. Priden has totally won me over.
Priden is stunning, visually. The character designs are totally on-point, and while many are definitely erotic, I still find Priden's illustrations more tame than Azur Lane's, to an extent. The world and background designs are very bright and fit perfectly with the game's lighthearted theme; there isn't much doom and gloom to be found. Overall, it's very high-fantasy and I eat that shit up.
In general, the voice acting is great and nearly every scene is fully voiced, including several character-specific dialogues which can be listened to at any time from a menu. The music and sound effects add significantly to the fantasy theme and it leaves me feeling soothed whenever I open this game up. If there were a soundtrack with a compilation of the game's music, I would buy it.
There's always a grind in freemium mobile games, but Priden at least gives you QoL tools to significantly ease the pain. The feature I like the most is the one-tap battle completion. It saves hours of mindless grinding for character upgrade materials. You literally just press a button and get the mats for 1x or 10x stage clears instantly.
I found Priden extremely simple to understand all the basic concepts of gameplay. It follows traditional mobage style, but is also much more simplified than most traditional JRPGs.
I can't read any of the story, so I don't understand the plot. I can't give an effective review of the story because of that.
You can buy pretty much anything with gems, which can be purchased with real-world money, as usual. There is also a separation of paid and free (earned) gems, meaning some things can only be purchased with paid gems, in order to get you to spend money. There is no mistaking that this game is pay-to-win. With that being said, I feel comfortable playing the game at my own pace and spending money when and if I feel like it. The game being one of the top 20 grossing on Japanese Google Play Store currently gives me hope that this won't be a flash in the pan.
I have over 10k gems and am level 30 at the time of writing this review, and rolling the gacha once costs 1.5k gems. I haven't earned all the gems available from character stories, so this seems like a pretty agreeable amount of free gems, to me.
Something I dislike is the terrible balance of characters. SSR being extremely overpowered compared to SR, R, etc, is nothing new for me, but I feel that the current pool of SSR characters is unbalanced and just leads to whale-centric gameplay. The reason for this is that only a small pool of characters (roughly 10~20 out of the cast of 100 or so) are actually useful. What's the point of the other 80% of the characters? They definitely serve as eye candy, but I feel that it will have a negative impact on the game in the future depending on what kinds of characters they release. I don't expect them to nerf or buff characters any time soon, so this is something you'll have to live with when playing.
One thing I wanted to add is that Red: Pride of Eden does NOT feature the type of character you'd expect when you hear the word "furry," at least in American culture. It features your typical animal ears, tails, and sometimes paws. All the usual kemono features of many things in Japanese culture. If you were expecting actual furry characters, this game does not feature them.
Also, there are genderbent characters (once a male, transformed to female.) Just a warning.
