This is Genshin with a 7DS skin. Controls are exactly the same yet respond worse. Net Marble phoned this one in.

[Tyrath]

Yeah looking like a skip for me

The last patch introduced a bug that disables sound effects and puts the same music track on an infinite loop. The only working workaround is doing a gacha pull. It has to be done each time there is a fresh boot up.

That's the funniest shit ever

I've been playing despite this not being very good (I'm a fan of 7DS and this is being treated as a post-anime story). I'm currently on act 3 of 5.

This is the word salad of my experience so far that I posted on our Discord;

Been playing 7DS: Origin some and that game is bad. It's a 1:1 Genshin clone. Netmarble completely copied the Mihoyo formula, even the gacha. The overworld is very empty. The controls are unresponsive. Menus take double cursor clicks to navigate. All promo items get sent to the mailbox instead of the inventory. There is currently a bug (that was introduced in the last patch) that mutes all sound effects and puts one music track on an infinite loop. The workaround is to do a gacha pull and it fixes it for that session. The gacha is weapon heavy. You're going to be pulling more trash weapons than characters. There is only 3 7DS heroes in the gacha (King, Diane, & Meliodas) and the others are minor characters (I've pulled Gulia & Mannie). It's 120 pulls for a banner guarantee and 80 pulls for an SSR (no UR yet). Free currency pull is 3k. There are at least 3 paid currencies.

I could probably write an essay on all the issues I've personally experienced over my 3 days with the game.

It's a feature not a bug

Yes
No

You play as Meliodas and Elizabeth's son Tristan. The co-protaginist is King and Diane's daughter Tioreh. The game audio is Japanese or Chinese (choice) with English subs. The gacha hook is that the story blends time and space pulling characters from across all timelines.

I've decided to take a break from the game because some boss mechanics are frustrating. There are four types of bosses;

Upgrade material/gear (similar to Genshin ascension material bosses)
World
Story
Level cap

Only the material bosses have an on-screen indicator of when they're going to perform a special attack so you know when to dodge. No other bosses, and most mobs, have this. Shortly into Act 5, you have to clear some really tough bosses to progress (the Act 4 end boss is tough, too, but can be brute forced). The world bosses have attacks that can stun lock and push you out of the arena (this resets boss health). There is a mechanic to switch characters to counter, you have a second or 2 to react, but you just get caught in the stun lock. Level cap bosses share the same mechanics. Speaking of, the first block of character progression halts at level 15 and there is no indicator of this as you can keep earning levels (I'm at level 40 and still haven't been able to clear the first block). You have to dig into the menus to find the activity launcher.
A lot of this wouldn't be so bad if all four of your teammates didn't all share the same health bar and super meter. There is supposed to be combined supers for certain characters, but those only seem to trigger for story events. Team synergy, while it's supposed to be a thing, is never explained. You can't actually check what element a character represents unless you enter into the team building screen. Certain elements are needed to solve puzzles. Upgrade materials become scarce after the initial upgrading of about 4 characters leaving the cash shop the only reliable source.

I'll check back in a couple months to see if any of this gets improved. I have to agree with the current general sentiment of the game, an undercooked open beta.
