Player experience evaluation
Very King’s Raid-esque combat-wise. The second camera setting is the same angle as KR, and the damage font is super similar. It’s more Gacha-like as far as characters go (dupes to enhance +1, +2, etc.) Mats to evolve. The characters get improved costumes each time they develop a star grade.
Hero Rarity: weird? There are star levels AND grades. Regular, premium, rare, epic, legendary, ancient are the grades, with the unique characters being star level 3–6 and anything below that is necessarily a fodder monster from adventure rewards. Category seems the most important. Looking at the codex for 4*s, epics are 2k cp > legendary 3.5k cp > Ancient (only three units in the game atm) 5.5k up.
Player rolled a four* tank from the tutorial role, not sure if you can move higher and from the looks of it rerolling is out because you HAVE to sign in with Google or Facebook to play and there’s no account deletion button.
Store: like $30 for a 10+1 summon if you straight up buy gems, but the packages are beneficial for those who want to spend. Daily gem package is $13.31 (weird from conversion I suppose), and you get 500 instant, 50 a day and 500 every 14th day for 2900 total (a 10+1 summon is 1000 gems). There are also THREE different kinds of treasures. Money to pure gems gives you blue gems which can be spent on a 1:1 transfer to red (earned in game, used for energy, summons, etc.) and green Gems (nothing available for it that Player can see in the shop?), or on paid-only summoning (so there’s a banner for the free red gems and another for the paid blues). Packages are pretty nice such as $1 each day for two premia + summon tickets and 20 energy which is almost seven stages, or $3 for 200 power and five bonuses + ask cards. There’s also a general starter pack and progression pack you can get which are all about 6x value (they post the number of boxes like Grand Chase does about their premium currency’s conversion rate).
Performance: Runs very well on 60fps and high-quality settings but makes my phone hot as hell and drains the battery pretty quickly (Samsung S8)
Energy system seems pretty decent; it’s three energy per adventure stage.. though Player have been meaning E7 lately so anything would appear right after that. The story seems alright, nothing too special but also not terrible. The English games translation is excellent, however. Haven’t noticed anything wrong so far.
All in all, I’m having fun with it so far. Player don’t mind the Gacha part for characters and Player enjoy KRs combat system so this is fine for me as well. Also sorry for formatting and stuff, I’m in bed on my phone.
