All progress gone and nothing could be done

I reached out to costumer service about my account being hacked. A hacker used my google bind to login to my account and asked costumer service to relink the account, but they told him that they can’t don’t provide that service. They didn’t even question the proof of that the hacker presented, even though it was clearly fake. For one evidence of ownership, it asks how frequently do they login and somehow customer service didn’t think that the answer: “Always?” with a question mark wasn’t suspicious at all, especially when I login once a day to do my daily grinding. Out of spite, the hacker decided to reset my account, making me lose all progress on my level 63 account. I tried asking customer service if anything could be done to restore the account, but they told me the same thing that nothing could be done to save my account. All of the time and effort that I put into this game is gone. Customer service is useless in this game and they clearly don’t go over the evidence that is presented.

Decent

The game's gacha itself is decent, people who complain the rates are low are just purely unlucky, it's a gacha game, some characters are bound to be pity pulled, not all characters are supposed to be obtainable when it first releases if you aren't going to spend for it. If someone complains about needing 200 pulls to get a character vs a person who gets it in 50, some are luckier than others. People also complaining about this game's gacha should be trying Fate if they REALLY think it's bad. The story is definitely mediocre, definitely better games with better story and lore. This game passes as a side game and not as a main game where you should be so heavily invested in, if you haven't started during week of release you'll be finding yourself in a struggle to keep up with people who are running around with meta if you aren't going to be tossing money like candy. Overall I like the game for it's art and cuteness, I don't invest myself in the game for hours like others to finish up dailies, some events are weak in rewards and could definitely be improved. If you genuinely dislike the game, go join a group so you may/may not see the game in a different light.

PvP is even worse than before

Update: whoever programmed Shun in this new season needs to seriously rework her AI. How are enemy Shun always picking off my back-liners in every single PvP match and mine never shoots at anyone other than enemy tanks even when their back-liners are right in front of her? Changing my rating to 2 star because I’m not gonna bother playing PvP anymore. Art style: high-quality. Chibi: top-tier. BGM: addictive. Cafe function: cute. RNG: Abysmal for F2P players and everything is RNG (game developer must love the gacha aspect of Japan, everything involves gacha there). Crafting is a joke because you never know exactly what you’re gonna get. No recycling system. AIs in any type of “campaign” is okay except in PvP because it’s utterly broken. Enemy Shun are always crack shots while your Shun can’t aim at anything other than enemy tank; Haruna never lands any of her EX-skill shots, and so on. Events don’t last long enough and the down time between them are unremarkably dull. Used to prioritize this game everyday, now I just log in to get the daily-quotas done and that’s it.

Satisfying progression

I’ve found that the gameplay to be satisfying, the combat isn’t the same turn based strategy game that every gacha game and it's mother seems to be using. Plus, the energy recharge is forgiving, so getting the resources you need isn’t hard at all.Yes, the gacha is to the point where you probably can’t guarantee the limited banner characters, but I’ve never found that to be a problem. There’s a large amount of standard three stars that I get relatively frequently with ten pulls (maybe I’m just lucky but idk). Most of them are some of the best too, and power creep doesn’t seem to be an issue so far. Plus, if you enjoy playing the gameplay, it’s easy enough to get gems as basically everything gives it to you on top of all of the bonuses you get from updates (usually a full ten pull).So if you’re looking to whale for a game, you should probably stay away from this game because this game isn’t designed for that. This games is more of a nice game to grind with gacha in it.

Great Side-Game

I’ve had my eye on this game since it was announced for JP. It’s global launch was the same day as another really good gatcha game, so I had a lot of stuff fighting for my attention. So far, from a casual-f2p perspective, I’m having a ton of fun. The isometric, 3-D environments and chibis are gorgeous, and the UI is quick and clean. The gameplay feels like a fresh take on the standard element-based, rock-paper-scissors kind of team-building. And the auto-combat is just dumb enough to start failing to 3-star levels by chapter 2 or 3, which is great. I hate games that can play themselves entirely. Also I really love a sweep system that only costs the stamina to clear the stage and a 3-star requisite. Perfect for what is currently a casual side game. I don’t care about rates, because I prefer to approach gacha games from “playing the hand you’re dealt” and trying to overcome the obstacles the game puts in front of you. But then again, I haven’t even touched pvp, because I’m not really into pvp.

Censorships and Moving Forward

Dear NEXON, I am currently enjoying the game so far, it brings me tons of fun and enjoyable moments with the variety of students available at hand. But right now I am in shock because of two main things, one is that you failed to keep up your promise as stated in the QnA podcast, you said to not change ANYTHING from the base game into the global version, yet you did. I am dissapointed and concerned for the upcoming future. Second is how you named the Game Development Club student, ‘Aris’, which is to say doesn’t sound fitting at all. For solutions and suggestions, first I want you to change the age restriction to 16+ for this game so you can have a safe game with no laws or ‘external party’ going all out against your game. Second, please change her name to at least Arisu or Alice, I don’t want to call my adorable little fridge ‘Aris’ because it sounds like a boy’s name instead of a girl’s. Listen to us, your community, so that we can have a fun game and everyone will be happy. Thank you for your time in reading my review (or should I say complaints and suggestions haha) and have a nice day.

Okay game

Giving it three stars because the art is very gorgeous and a lot of it is animated, and a lot of voice acting. The little system where some characters actually say the name you put is also neat, first game I’ve played that had that. Character designs are also nice but as far as the story and characters personality goes… just another average gacha game pushing for you to like the latest tsundere girl and roll for her. I’ve rolled like only twice so I can’t say anything about the rates and why everyone is complaining about them, but what I can say is that the art is really the only thing this game has. I tried to give it a chance and I found myself forgetting I even have this downloaded. Really pretty art and amazing character designs, but a boring story and stale, typical personalities. I guess if you just wanna look at pretty characters then this is your game, because the story and gameplay is definitely not worth it. Maybe I’m just too picky, but genshin and arknights have far better stories. In fact, I’d recommend arknights over this to anyone any day (and if you’re like me and don’t like games that limit to one gender, arknights will definitely be a better fit. It’s this game but better and not afraid to have some men thrown in)

Theme is Fun

I found the "girls with guns and special moves" thing this game has going pretty entertaining; and is probably the only thing that got me hooked with it. Not really a fan of a gacha game that goes a harem route, but I understand that it has an appeal to many others.Music is great. The art varies, some are good some not so. The progression system as a whole is probably designed to be confusing. Closest comparison would be Princess Connect; which personally is the worst one out there among gacha progression systems; but it is what it is. (Why I'm still playing it? Girls with guns)PvP is a waste of time in the sense that you really can't control your team. You just watch. You're only able to skip at a certain time when both the tanks have survived at the time limit. Being unable to control the units makes almost 3/4 of the roster useless. And you just helplessly watch your unit target one with her skill when she could have targeted three if the ai would just aim a grid higher. It's not a fun time even if you're winning. I actually would just prefer it to say "calculating" then declare the winner after I choose my opponent given this is the case anyways. At least it saves time which is really really wasted when I play this mode.Overall, harem girls with guns with special moves in a confusing progression system and a horrible PvP experience. It is... Not that bad, but can't say it's good.

Hope it sticks around

As a fairly seasoned gacha player, I’ll definitely keep putting time into this game simply because I’m loving the mood. Something besides fantasy or sad near-future stuff. The gameplay is straight forward and isn’t confusing but I wish I had more input on moving my units because of the AI. People are complaining about the gacha rates and pity system however there aren’t time-limited characters yet so the system is definitely fine, just that the rate for buying currency seems a bit low. Also everyone seems scared of the publisher Nexon but they haven’t made any changes directly at launch and it’s being handled by a more reputable branch so I hope that means we can expect more responsibility. if a developer reads this, thank you for having faith in this. Ironic that this game gives me a very hopefully feeling with the soundtrack and colors. Update: Censorship happened, lost a star. Just change the age rating.

Cash grab that plays decent

Honestly not a bad game. Put alot of work into the story (whether people like it or not), but the rates are trash. Honestly feels like they are baiting you with first few pulls getting decent rewards, then your next 15 x10 rolls you get nothing. Get rates like ML Adventure to be successful, they actually care about their players not just their wallets =\ EDIT: tried to continue playing and i just cant do it. Saved up a ton of gems to try pulling again to have same thing happen. The rates are the worst ive seen in a gatcha game >.< nexon lives up to its reputation unfortunately. Dropped from 2 to 1 star since u cant progress in game when u get no players to use.Raising back to 2 star due to active response team. As for a suggestion, put in a better system that increases rate of higher character the more you fail to pull the highest tier characters, then resets back after you gain one. Since gatcha is all about random chance, some people may still get many bad rolls in a row, but when a 10x roll costs a decent amount of money (for those who pay for cash shop items/gems), pulling 150 to get no higher tier characters is a severe let down as well as feeling like you just burned all your money you have nothing to show for it. ALL IN ALL, a better safety system for better chances of not getting screwed would be huge. That is the 1 fix that would bring a player like myself back to game. Thank you for the reply!
