The verdict
A free anime gacha board game in the 100% Orange Juice mold, best as co-op PvE with friends. The server split, dead PvP, login and phone-number problems and heavy RNG sour many players.
Great for
Friend groups who like chaotic dice-and-card co-op PvE with cute anime art and a generous free-to-play gacha
Main risk
Empty international lobbies and login problems after the server split, so you may struggle to start a match
