Hmm.. not much discussion on this game.
My personal review:
I started playing 2 weeks ago. It has one of the best overworld gameplay loop among gacha games. The factory sims will take up 70% of your time. I really enjoyed it.
The combat is okay-ish. It can be fun if you like Xenoblade type of combat. If you like fast-paced combat like wuthering wave, this game is not one.
The story.. I feel like we only begin the story once we enter the 2nd region (Wuling). The first region (Valley 4) is mostly tutorial feel to let you know who are the bad guys. It's mostly helping NPCs and fetch quest type of story on 3/4th of the launch story. We only see a part of the 2nd region so the pace will get better.
As for the gacha aspect. Someone did a math and said that it's actually cheaper than mainstream gachas like Genshin, HSR and WuWa. The pity counts are confusing which made many misunderstood that it's worse but it's actually overall better.
