Great game just to much bad luck and grind for me – Arknights Review

Love good strategy games that aren’t about paywalls or having 1 or 2 amazing units and you win. A lot of times when you lose you can see clearly where you went wrong or realize you are just too low level to be there and the game clearly has side areas to grind all things you need. The base adds another level to the game if you get to tired of thinking or grinding. Cool designs on even low star characters and a lot of neat add-ons to more than just the battle system keeps thing interesting and fun (recruitment system having secret and rare summon combinations, store having cheap unlockable units). My only complaints is that I found myself grinding on day 1. Between leveling new characters and not horrible but quickly rising recommended level for each new stage mats and other materials were needed even in chapter 1. Now on chapter 3 I’ve grinded every day since release and sometimes it’s very long auto battles. Second is drop rates of high-end units. Banners guarantee at least a 5 star (6 being the highest) in the first ten pulls and out of the 3 different banners since release I’ve summoned a little over 70 times (a lot for a free to play game but) the first two proved low tier 5 stars and the third gave me a very situational 6 star twice (as in its really good for a very small portion of the game otherwise it’s meh). I’m sure there’s plenty of stories of dudes multi-pulling amazing 6 stars easily but between pretty much using the same units I received day one and the constant grind I probably won’t be playing much longer although other than that I definitely recommend.
