D-tide rework made it far too difficult for most players, Corposant was nerfed trough a WoD "bug fix" right after her banner and while the WoD banner was still running, affinity farming was made unnecesarily time-consuming, the divine realms issue (which all have been explained more in-detail in other reviews before mine) and the nothingburger response from the devs which adressed only dtide, offered a band-aid fix which leaves them enough leverage to hp inflate again and hoped to smooth over the playerbase with pulls. Frankly, unless the issues are properly adressed and the devs actually fix the current state of the game (which they themselves have caused, hoping to milk the playerbase), I certainly won't be spending any money in this game.

There's a very long very negative review here that almost turned me away from trying this game. I won't name anybody or anything, just mentioning that I saw it and it factored into my hesitation. I'm really glad to have given this game a chance. IDK if being f2p will "entitle" me to all of the pulls available from the endgame loop, but I don't really care. This is probably the only gacha I've played where as long as I can clear the stories I'm good. The art and the chapters are great. Really great. It's generous enough that I'm not having any trouble putting together teams to clear the content I care about. It's still really early for me, so IDK if there's a wall on this content, and if there is, I'll still be happy to have played until then. This is beautiful, creepy, and well written. It's Slay the Spire with a Nechronica-esque visual novel on top. If you're interested you should give it a chance. If it would be your first gacha, the pull (banner) system is a touch more confusing than most, I'd look up a video and trial a bunch of characters before committing resources. The faction mechanics are very different from each other. All gacha teeter on the brink of predation vs liquidation. It is literally the genre. Unless you are a money printer, there will be time gates and missed opportunities. If FOMO kills you, or if you have low self-control, it can cause genuine issues. If you are willing to "take what you can get" and realize the game "ends" where your boundaries start, you'll have a excellent time with this one I think.

gaem bad now

B.I.A.V. does not know what they are doing to their own game. Absolute nosedive of management.

I could write an essay about the great things about this game and only include a small paragraph about minor issues that don't really ruin my personal experience with it, but the current endgame rebalance is just abhorrent. There is no difficulty for midgame players like there used to be, so it starts off on baby mode and immediately ramps it up to the previous highest difficulty on the next difficulty level with two more still to go. Enemy stats are completely over bloated with no semblance of gradual increase in difficulty and newer players - without resorting to cheesing at least one stage - have no chance in getting the secondary uncap materials in any serious quantity to level up their strongest characters. Having an established account allowed me to at least snatch any rewards that matter, but it was not fun and I can't imagine every bi-weekly reset will be like that, as the current final wave already includes probably one of the best examples of a fight as to why the current rebalance just doesn't work. Will change it to positive if we get any decent changes within the next weeks, at latest by the next reset, otherwise it might be time to jump the ship for me. Thankfully I don't really have any sunk cost fallacy in this game, but it is nonetheless heart-breaking seeing it be this mismanaged as it is a game I grew to love and enjoy on a daily basis during the last few months.

Recent unfriendly changes to end game, lack of communication, and massive HP inflation to the point not even most whales can clear. If you are fine with sinking a few hundred to a few thousand dollars into a character for it to be unusable due to a "bugfix" and still be unable to clear the obscene difficulties of the end game (where all of the pull currency rewards are, so F2P players get nothing because they can't clear) then go ahead. Otherwise, stay away
