Great Game – Sid Story Review

****NOTE: This review was written by someone who hopes to collect every card in the game, therefore many of these points will not apply to the casual player. PROS • Gacha system is lovely, as it’s easy to get top tier characters. No 2% rates for a 5*. • Currency (crystals) is easy to obtain so long as you’re moderately active in-game. Join an A-rank circle and get 2000-3000 crystals. (2750 crystals = $25.99. Save money by joining a laid-back circle.) • Art and voices are amazing and new cards are constantly being made available. Seasonal cards come in pairs every 15 days and are easy to obtain. • Stamina (AP and MP) is inexpensive. Restore all of your stamina of one category for 50 crystals. • Constant events means more chances to collect cards. Forest events every weekend, seasons and special summons twice a month, special classes and mileage once a month—sometimes even more. • Attack multiplier cards (which change every week) make collecting and keeping cards more worthwhile as they are vital for combat. CONS • Combat is not interactive at all. Would be better if the user could choose which turn to use special skills. Also, battle animations are still long even though the user has the option to skip most of it. • Events can get overwhelming. Sometimes multiple events will occur at once and, if you don’t have crystals stored up or enough time, you’ll have to sacrifice a few cards. If you’re aiming to 100% the album, it’s pretty harsh to have to wait an entire year for another chance to obtain a card. • Older players have a huge advantage over newer players when it comes to 100%-ing the album due to cards never returning. HP multiplier cards are notorious for never coming back, so make sure to drop 1600 crystals on them whenever a new one available. An overall good game, though it does have a few notable flaws. Would recommend if you prefer collecting cards over interactive combat and multiplayer aspects of games. (...Would also like to beg the developers to bring back HP multipliers like Utnapishtim. Add ‘em to raid boss or something, just bring them back...)
