Good w/some issues – Sid Story Review

This is a good game. Collecting cards is fun but there are some glaring issues. There’s no overworld/global chat so you can only talk on Circle(guild) forums and through direct messages. They recently added PvP but it’s straight up P2W. It’s just about who spends the most crystals which is the premium currency. The servers are slow so load times can take a while and it’s annoying. The story isn’t great despite “Sotry” being in the name. Events are repetitive. Also they’re making a new Sid Story game when they really shouldn’t imo because they still need to work on this one. You need duplicates of cards to fully max them out which is kinda annoying, especially if they’re rarer. Lastly, the game is losing players. They even said so on their Facebook so they had to downsize and they’re collaborating with an Instagram star celebrity which isn’t a good move. That being said, I’m still giving this 4 stars because I love it. The card art is pretty. Combat is simple and not that deep but it’s still enjoyable. Since combat isn’t super complicated that means pretty much every rare and above unit is usable! The only difference between cards is their element and their skill types which can reduce damage, heal, or do extra damage. Crafting in this game is satisfying. You use it to make summon stones and items to level up skills but you can get by without crafting at all. Unit fusion is satisfying like crafting where you combine the same units together and when you get to the max fusion level you can trade it for a random card of a higher rarity or exp cards. Attending class and grinding for exceptionals(boss monsters) and other points is enjoyable to me. The guilds in this game are called circles and they make getting crystals pretty easy so you don’t need to spend money at all but you won’t be able to get lots of crystals till you’re higher leveled. The school RPG part is unique and classes are taught by characters on the cards who say funny things. There’s this mini game where you can choose the card you want randomly selected from the pool and “confess” to a card to obtain it. It’s called the Forest but it’s super expensive so I wouldn’t count on it. PvP is P2W but it’s more of a side thing where the main thing is card collecting and strengthening. Overall, it plays a bit like an idle game with school simulator and RPG elements mixed in as well as a bit of ccg mixed in. I recommended it if you want a simple game where you can mindlessly grind and collect pretty cards.
