The verdict
A polished, free-to-play action gacha mixing party combat with factory building, with great visuals and music. Skip it if you hate gacha pity, factory sims or long tutorials.
Great for
Players who like factory automation, anime action RPGs and a gacha that respects your time
Main risk
Steam account linking can lock you out, and the 120-pull pity gacha sours some
What players love
Factory building is fun, with blueprints to skip it
Mentioned in ~1 in 4 positive reviews
“You don't like the factory? use a blueprint made my others that is already hyper optimized.”
