Dragalia Lost (Android/iOS) - New Nintendo IP Made for Smart Devices

[6souls]

Fast-Paced Action RPG Co-Developed with Cygames (Granblue Fantasy)

For the first time ever, Nintendo is introducing a new IP directly on smart devices! With the Dragalia Lost game, players can enjoy a fast-paced action role-playing game set in a fantasy world of warriors, magic and dragons that’s specifically designed to play on smartphones, but with the depth typically reserved for dedicated video game systems. With intuitive touch-screen controls, colorful fantasy graphics that pop off the screen and the option to join up online with up to three other players in co-op story quests, events and Raid Battles, the game can easily be enjoyed in short bursts or longer play sessions.

Nintendo debuted a video detailing many of the features coming to Dragalia Lost.

“Our mobile strategy is expanding with the launch of Dragalia Lost, the first original IP from Nintendo to launch on mobile devices,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Fans are looking for a variety of experiences on mobile devices, and this vibrant action role-playing game perfectly complements our other mobile games, while also offering something completely new.”

In Dragalia Lost, players build a customized party of adventurers and set off on a grand journey – one that will take them to a variety of locales to save the Kingdom of Alberia from mysterious evil forces that are corrupting the realm. While exploring the world, players control their party of adventurers in battle, even transforming into mighty dragons to unleash devastating attacks. Along the way, players can discover more than 60 companions for their party that offer a variety of different weapon classes, combat abilities and elemental properties.

Battles are performed in real time to keep players in the action, dragging their fingers on the screen to move their characters, tapping or holding to engage with various attacks and flicking along the screen to dodge. It’s all very intuitive and easy to pick up for any type of player. And by using the in-game currency Diamantium or Wyrmite, players can summon new characters, dragons or special accessories called Wyrmprints that can be equipped for powerful abilities or bonuses. Wyrmite is earned in the game as a reward for completing quests, while Diamantium can be purchased using real-world money.

Dragalia Lost is all about letting players play how they want. Party members can be customized in all sorts of ways, whether it’s through new equipment or leveling up and earning new or upgraded abilities. Dragalia Lost even offers synchronous online multiplayer with up to three other people who have the game, so friends can share the experience throughout the game’s main story adventure, additional quests and event raids.

It's a gacha.

Oh, so it's made by José Gonzalo Rodríguez Gacha, a drug lord for the Medellín Cartel.

It's an rng shitfest with collectibles that cost money or entirely too much time, only thing that word's ever meant to me

Since it's being done in collab with Cygames, there's a possibility they'll bring over the sparking mechanic from Granblue Fantasy (they already imported a bunch of other shit). Save up enough of the free currency that you can spend in one shot to get a guaranteed character/weapon/summon of your choice.

Story

“O great dragon of the forest! If you can hear my voice, then heed my call. Grant me the pactstone’s power!”

Alberia… A kingdom where dragons rule over nature. The Alberian royal family possesses the power of shapeshifting. By forming a pact with a dragon, they can borrow its form and wield its immense strength.

One day, the kingdom is met with a strange and most troubling occurrence. The power of the Sacred Shard that protects the city begins to weaken. In order to protect his people, the seventh prince of Alberia, not yet pactbound with a dragon, sets out on what’s known as the Dragon Choosing.

While he seeks a dragon to form a pact with, he’ll meet new companions—including a mysterious girl from another time—and face a sudden and inexplicable change in his own father, the king.

Such are the chronicles of the bonds and battles that await the Dragonblood Prince.

Servers are up. Got 4* Karl from tutorial and *5 Hildegarde from summons afterwards. Probably be a while before a meta begins so right now it seems tame to just go with whatever

[Lokus]

The game shares a lot of little mechanics here and there with Granblue Fantasy which is expected since Cygames helped make it. Seems fun for the most part.

Why is this game so big?! I need a new phone...

[Prothescar]

Well initially I can say the rate of pulling 5* characters is fucking awful as advertised. Took me 4 or 5 hours of on and off rerolling to get one. 5* dragons and cards, though, rain from the sky. Remains to be seen what will be the most important of the 3. I'm betting on Dragons though.

There's a polish to the game that I really appreciate. Not sure I'll stick with the it long term (playing some brave frontier 2 at the same time) but there's a lot I like even if it may not be for me. Also 8-4 Play was apparently involved with the localization and that's always quality.

[Souj]

3GB god damn!
Started up the tutorial but didnt get very far yet. I'm not gonna bother rerolling a dozen times at the start because I'm not into that sort of thing and trying it is what killed my interest in the Fate game. So I'll just go with the flow.

Tutorial guy I got was a 4star samurai dude whose name i can't recall.

..There's a Brave Frontier 2?

I haven't booted up the first in ages since it stopped working on my phone/tablet.

Released about a week ago I think. Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...europe.origins

I'm not sure I've got the drive to be active in gatcha games anymore, but there are some things I've found pretty cool so far. I'm a fan of the art style and technical direction, and it looks like you might be able to run multiple teams of 5 in a single mission. They have it set where you can set everyone's action for the turn then swipe across them all to launch attacks and chains.
