PS5 version is broken. They recommend playing on a different platform until it gets fixed.

Do you like Genshin? It's very similar. The last major update added new mechanics that I haven't tried out yet, but look interesting, like mounts that can traverse water.

[Qalbert]

initially but kinda lost interest after awhile, and with it being an older one some of the lacking QoL irked me, mainly HSR/ZZZ atm

[Gokulo]

Definitely a lot more QoL here, the first region can feel like a real slog though (but I believe you can skip it nowadays)

[Qalbert]

alright, good enough for me to check it out then. is the gacha framework pretty comparable to a hoyoverse game?

[Karbuncle]

It was a fun experience, its similar to genshin in-so-far that its an open world mobile RPG, outside of that I found the combat more interesting, at least as you get more characters I suppose. Also a lot more fun traversal methods starting on the second continent. I haven't picked it up in a while though, but I played it for months and enjoyed it, just those types of "Need your full attention" games are harder for me to sit down with these days.

[Kachiko]

I don't remember it being too different. I stopped playing right before Shorekeeper was released and it was okay. Flashier battle system more like Zenless at the time, but a lot of the "end" game fights were play perfect or die in one hit type of stuff so I dipped.

[Karbuncle]

Some of the Final tiers of the Challenge content was very "Dodge or die" and took me a few trial and error attempts, but like, that was around my Elden Ring time so I was kind of used to it lol.

I played all the way until the third continents story end point and I really enjoyed that area. The initial areas were much more of a slog for sure though, can't deny that.

Characters are a 50/50, weapons are guaranteed. You can also buy up to 2 dupes of the current limited characters from the coral shop (the pull refund currency).

You are going to want to pull weapons for characters you get because generally the 4* weapon options blow ass and the Standard 5* weapons are varying levels of useful (Sword are Gun are good, the others are pretty mediocre).

[Qalbert]

good to know

I'm still enjoying it. The new region is pretty fun to explore, other than a few motorcycle parkour challenges that can burn. rofl The story is a matter of preference, but you'd better get used to characters getting forgotten quickly outside of their patch.

Soo, about that. The new standard weapons they released are a bit better across the board. I know the gauntlets were previously crap but now they're decent.

Everything else people have said is on point. I rotate it in my pool of games sometimes.

Though I can't help but chuckle at them calling the main character "Rover".

Collab went live tonight, really enjoying it so far. Got both characters and the quest is pretty enjoyable.

[Obsidian]

Good luck anyone pulling on the collab banners. I'm not that attached to Edgerunners and I think they've set these banners up in a pretty stupid way, so I'm just gonna get Lucilla in 5 days and then start saving for the next region and potential Yang Yang alt coming.

[RalphTheDwarf]

Holy crap, that ending just broke me. This crossover is very spoilerific.
