it's a new anime-style action RPG with an open world inspired heavily by breath of the wild. it's really fun. the graphics are really nice and the combat is satisfying and has a lot of different play styles.

it also has a gacha system for getting weapons and characters, which i imagine will turn some people off, but from what i can tell it's not really pay-to-win, just takes longer to get stuff if you don't buy it

also it's free to play

I see a lot of people playing it on Twitch. But I'm already playing fire emblem HEROES, so I can't play this.

I gave it a quick try, but the performance was less than average on my Galaxy S7 - even slightly laggy, and it was eating my battery like a candybar. I dont see why, either, its not like the graphics were even super amazing or anything.

I'll probably give it a serious try at some point but I just wasn't impressed right off the bat

you can change the graphics settings on the mobile version. i turned it down to the lowest with 60fps and it ran pretty well on my iPhone XR, although i do not really like playing mobile games so i will be sticking to PC

The anime topic has like 4 or 5 people talking about playing it, I think.

I didn't have any real context for what it was about, but after hearing you describe it I googled some images and it looks interesting so maybe I'll check it out at some point.

The controls feel awful.
I gave up on it after looking into the drop chances for 4* and 5* stuff. It's absolutely ridiculous. Hard to call it "pay-to-win" though as nothing in the game is that challenging.

I downloaded it but haven't played it, yet. Looks fun. I was curious how the free-to-play model works with the game. Do they make it difficult to level or progress in a way that encourages purchasing experience or anything?

Nice. Looking forward to playing it. Is it kid-friendly like BotW? Most games I have to wait for the kids to be in bed before I play them.

One time my son woke up and walked in on me playing Mafia III right in the middle of a firefight and the dudes I was fighting were yelling "Kill that black motherfucker!" and shit. Fortunately he didn't hear it lol

character xp doesn't matter as much as adventure xp, and you can't buy that or get anything to help make it go faster, so

no, you can progress through all the existing content without paying for it. there are a few sought-after characters that people usually pull for but you don't actually need them to progress. and your progress through the main quest is based on your adventure rank, which is gained by things like completing dungeons and finding landmarks

Tried it, and will play more in a bit, but at least initially it's very easy and I think I got bonus exp items or something as I could just level a ton right away (normal level not adventure). I stopped leveing at 10, although it looks like I could have kept going.

I didn't want to be over powered for the start of the game which was already extremely easy.

Just got to the first town and took a break for now. The graphics are very nice, the combat not so much so far. It's very simplistic. I do hope it gets more complicated/intense as you go further, as I love action/rpg combat.

In this current era, where everything relies on steam for controller support instead of doing it properly themselves, I would rather not.

Hence the sarcastic air quotations.

Edit: also checking the can you run this just to check. Seem nonsense as always, not meeting recommended because the thing would rather see any i7, than a good i5...

It works fine with an xbox 360 controller which is what I use on all my games.

The only annoying thing is it naturally reverses B and A buttons from most games (B is confirm and A is cancel).

I didn't play enough to bother trying to change the controls yet, but I probably will eventually.

But other than that, yeah controllers work fine.

What size is it after install? I might just try it on PS4 with those sizes I find online of about 13 gb.

Edit: from what I have seen, I would expect a game of maybe over a 100 gb, under 15 sounds suspiciously small.

Edit 2: 60 minutes left, guess I am not playing it today...

there's no much content to actually do as the game is unfinished, and what's there isn't much.
