Thanks for this write-up. This looks tempting to play, but with gacha games the real meat comes with the events and how they maintain the game long term. I just worry given the general pattern of anime-related gacha games. They usually go for a year or two and then get shut down.

Of course, if the game is fun enough, it could be worth it.

As someone who tried this game for a couple hours after launch, I decided to uninstall it. While the combat itself is alright, everything else around it flashed red lights at me. From the character shards, what seems to be hard to come by summoning currency, eventual separate premium summon currency (you can only summon limited heroes with limited summon tickets I believe), boring on-the-rails gameplay to get to the next mission, a pointless and cluttered hub, dated UI, tons of popups and tons of different ways to top up on currency, tons of servers, and most annoying for me, a constant and never ending stream of "____ player just rolled this S rank hero!", I just can't recommend it to anyone. I've played many gacha games and still do, and the game just gave me so many bad vibes. If whomever is reading this still wants to play the game then by all means go ahead, I just implore you to be careful about spending, as I've seen many people spend money in the game after launch and subsequently had issues getting back into their accounts or their server.

Tldr: The game seems like a cheaply made blatant cashgrab and if you play it, just be careful on your spending.
