Morimens

While I initially liked and was a big fan of Morimens, I can say that over the recent months the Developers have tarnished the trust I had in them to upkeep with content I was expecting of them. I wont go into depth, but it mainly started from small things: -Absolute Axiom changes, which were heavily pushed against when initially announced due to the fact it'd be only available to big spenders. And we were assured that AA wouldnt be a deciding factor in unit or future content balance. -Gravitation towards more and more RNG-based Awakeners, which is balanced around a pay-to-win feature using a "turn rewind" that which by name lets you rewind a turn indefinitely. This feature is only available from a Premium Battle Pass that costs around 12-13usd a month or sometimes shorter during certain periods. This can also be seen in new realms that are more biased towards RNG which also negatively impact older units by forcing them into new realm rules and making them perform worse. -Affinity changes, which is essentially a method of unlocking more lore about specific units someone might enjoy. Through more stories and dialogue from them, which they "buffed" by using a new formula thats suppose to give you more affinity by prolonged battles and card usage of specific awakeners. However this in reality gutted affinity gain by 99% for overwhelming majority of players. -The issue of "Bugfixes" where known interactions that have been reported and talked about for over a year get patched unannounced when they have been assumed to be core parts of the character at that point, some of these are things like Lily getting 50% of her poison application gutted in one of those patches and 24 Chaos also suffering the same fate. However the most egregious one in recent history is Corposent and Last Verse interaction, where the Awakener Corposent had her 20% shield boost from Last Verse get "Bugfixed" and essentially gut the character from providing their main shielding role. Which is particularly egregious since Corposent and Last Verse were re-runned right before this bugfix, so many people invested into both the Awakener and WoD card and were now scammed out of that interaction that was known for over a year. The devs have stated they will compensated accounts that invested heavily for awakeners they have nerfed however under pretences of a "Bugfix" they arent obliged to do it. -New Dtide and generally endgame content has been extremely poor in actual gameplay, the developers promised that new content wouldnt be biased around OE or AA of Awakeners however, they have gone back on their word with release of things like Nightmare Dtide which not even big spender accounts can comfortably clear without things like turn rewind and meta stall teams. I've waited until the main dev response before making this and it only confirms my suspicion that the devs have no idea what the community wants nor what its complaining about with their recent history. As such I would heavily recommend against playing or even trying this game out until foreseeable future, if the devs manage to turn this around and not manage to ♥♥♥♥ it up in a year again ill remove this review.

Bad

Fix dzone

Every endgame gamemode is some level of slop. The only good gamemode left, DTide genuinely was really good... And then they hp bloated it into an unplayable state I do not play this game on steam I play it on mobile but uh the more negative reviews the SOONER devs will do something about it

I *REALLY* LOVE THIS GAME, but changes were announced that I just could not get behind and I'll change my review the moment the devs change their minds about it. D-Zone, the "endgame" mode of the game, was amazing and really fun. It didnt allow shortcuts, gave really good rewards, had varying difficulties for newer accounts to get left behind and, due to the fact that was all there was to it, the experiences between players were largely similar, allowing people that struggled to see people just as strong as them or even weaker extract wildly different results, shining a beautiful light in the game's very good game design and how almost every character could be used and do amazing. It was announced that, due to whales and people that have spent thousands of hours of the game (way less than the 1% of the community) could, due to all they amassed not only in terms of acquisition but also knowledge and experience, finish some of the hardest fights in one turn (WOW, HIGH INVESTMENT BEING REWARDED?!), so now the devs think that the challenge is not good enough and now they will make nightmare modes and, to not leave the PLEBS behind, allow people to "use shortcuts" such as "second lives" mid combat in case they wipe (be restored to full immediately). Whale exclusive content (if you dont "cheat"), shortcuts to trivialize easier stuff, fragment the community by making their experiences less alike due to the fact that some may not choose to use the revive and some play in wildly different difficulties... Is that it? Hopefully we see better judgement on their part before any of this makes into the game... Please don't smear this feces on such a great game.

Fix your game damn.

If you ask me weeks/months ago, if I'd recommend this game: Yes, it's a great game! Now, I'd say: Absolutely not! Here are the main reasons: -The game has introduced one of the largest scale powercreep I've ever seen in any gacha game (I've played 30+ gacha games). -Character dupes are not optional: You need at least 3 copies of every character to unlock their "real" skills, but to unlock their full potential, you need 12 copies. You used to be able to handle most content with -Effective pull income is pretty low compared to how much you are supposed to pull: although average monthly pulls might reach 100, if you can clear every resetting endgame content (I personally can't anymore, not even close), but about 70% of these pulls are standard pulls, and standard characters (even after the "pseudo" buffs, even if you max copies) are only good to collect the dust (few exceptions). Also they decided to give "expiring pulls" to the game, instead of limited banner pulls, so you can't even save properly for characters you want. (Note: character reruns feel incredibly slow, I'm waiting for a rerun for 3+ months, that's 7 cycles of endgames without the character who would make 1 of my teams somewhat working, it's a really unfriendly system). -For endgame, you'll need at least 5 teams, 20 characters, teams must have a good synergy, you need 40 weapons (WoD) that also synergyze w these characters. Weapon copies are converted to strengthen the 1st weapon with the same name, up to 12 copies. You can't share them between teams (fun, right?), all this effort just to get ~5-10 extra pulls/month. 1 of these investigations can last even for 1 hour, imagine how fun to start again after realizing, this boss is too much for you. -Side content is heavily time-gated, locked behind dailies, and this currency can't even be stocked up. You gotta keep logging in for months to unlock side stories, you are not absolutely allowed to experience the story in your own pace. You thought you can have fun in a game in 2026????!! Are you crazy? -All of the gear system is locked behind main story. If you wanna build a character, there is a chance you'll need to get through tens to a hundred hours of story, just to unlock the place where you can farm them (there is a skip button though, but it's not instant either since there are many fights in these chapters). The gearing system RNG and upgrading is really arduous for the sake of being arduous. -Character progression later on becomes extremely slow (maxing out just one character can result in 2-3months of targeted farming (I have no maxed character yet, with 4+ months, 140 hrs of gametime). All the "limit break" materials are locked behind hard endgame mode, and they give very little amount even if you can complete it. -The UI is horrendous for almost every content. During fights, the only way to read a card's description is an "auto-roll text" feature, but there are some cards that have longer descr than the whole LotR series. Very convenient, good design. Would be hard to fix! During story, the UI only shows 2 lines of text. If you click once, the shown lines go down by one. You can't go backwards. There are some cases when there's 8 lines of text, and it feels terrible to read them this way. All of the stories are unvoiced. -The game rather enforces you to play a PvP minigame with completely different rules, cards and systems on a weekly basis just to earn a few extra pulls, than playing the game you came here for. -You are being bombarded every single day with the well known "900% value pack" that mostly sells stamina while the resources you want can't even be farmed with stamina at all, and it won't even help you with your progression. "You saved Morimens". Once, this game made a miraculous comeback, after almost disbanding twice, having financial issues, they decided to finish the game in a haste. Truly impressive, and I also got captivated. This game was in a pretty good state for a while, but I feel like the "magic" of this game is completely lost, I feel like the team that added the soul to game are gone, I can't see any sign of them anymore. All I see now is the familiar gacha game practices at an extreme rate. Some of these are "necessary" so I was trying to tolerate it, co-exist with it, hoping that it'll become better, but my experiences are getting worse with each day. If you're looking for the saddest story related to Morimens, you won't find it within some of the storychapters, it's in the way this game treats its loyal players. :( "Thank you for saving Morimens."
