It’s fine – Unison League Review

The user interface is needlessly sluggish for a game people still play in 2018. I’m playing this on an iPhone, FFS. Tweak the performance. Beyond how prohibitively slow everything is, there isn’t MUCH else to say. The writing for the core story is great (so far), and the customization is almost as good as what you’ll find on Gaia Online—on top of which, there’s an actual game here too. So that’s good (I can’t figure out how not to be White though..but that’s probably my fault. Right? Again, I need to point out that it’s 2018)... The reason I have to give this one star is that the developers do that same idiotic assault on their consumers that most of their competitors have been doing for the past three years, and scheduling their maintenances at the end of the game day. So when this is fixed (quite simply, I should think? Just have on long day that ends with the beginning of the next maintenance, and your calendar should make sense. Takes less than 24 hours and..I’m not sure how much coding. The necessary amount, though), and I will grant my true score. It’s probably pretty high. Wouldn’t you like to find out what it is? END-OF-2020 UPDATE: This game has become alienating to people who play for the story. I’m mostly just here for story mode and collabs, and the latter is something I used to be able to put on Auto and put down, then pick it back up when it was done however much later and get back to enjoying the dialogue. That’s not a thing anymore, so I’ve been able to see maybe two or three chapters out of each collab for a couple months now. I just don’t have time to be paying attention to combat in a game on my combat, and seeing as how I used to be a happily paying customer, I’m not sure why I’m being discriminated against. There are plenty of other modes to “challenge” players who want their free time to come with a challenge. Also, if the game loses connection in the middle of a cutscene, I can’t ever see the rest of the cutscene. It’s just gone forever, and I missed it because Xfinity and Verizon have forsaken everywhere in New York but the City and maybe Westchester. The game doesn’t wanna start the cutscene over so I can have the very simple thing I came for, that someone put work into? That’s like designing a book that loses pages if you accidentally close it. It’s idiotic. Also your character has to be White. I read about it on Reddit or something. It’s not worth the developers’ time to put in the tiny iota of work that basically literally everyone else has who has a game with character customization. They’re unapologetic about this, they’re unrepentant, they cite the insularity, xenophobia, supremacy, and homogeneity of Japan as though those are valid excuses as opposed to things modern societies that are part of the world have all almost gotten over. I figured out a character who is White, but I figured her all the way out, so I have zero interest in playing the game extra or spending money in pursuit of cosmetics because she’s done, she’s perfect, and I don’t feel super comfortable giving this game more money if it’s going to be this insistent on aging so poorly. Also menu navigation is still extremely slow. To the point that I sometimes groan when I realize what I have to slog through each time a new collab comes out. It’s not too late to make this game nice again, guys. But you have to decide something other than that you’re giving all the way up and that the players are the enemy.
