>>715691448 (OP)Narrativewise: It completely misunderstands what made the original good, which is turning the magical girl trope on it's head. The cute mascot actually has their own goals and motivations for giving these girls powers. The enemy is dangerous and actually kills characters instead of getting kicked and running away shaking their fist. Instead it's incredibly positive and optimistic. Hell, they can even witch out temporarily for a powerful attack and then go back to normal.
For this game in particular, the gameplay is just boring. Magica Record's gameplay wasn't fantastic either, but at least the combat was quick. This one takes fucking FOREVER. They traded nice looking graphics for a boring slog. And they have to gall to continue acting like their pricing should be FGO tier, which is fucking insantiy. FGO's gacha is reviled for how unfair it is, but at least have the long ass story and character roster to back it up. Some of the free units are actually completely usable to this day. The low stars in this game don't even come with a special attack. LET ME REPEAT THAT: THE LOW RARITY CHARACTERS ARE COMPLETELY UNUSABLE BECAUSE THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE A FULL KIT. Meaning only SRs and SSRs are really viable.
I dropped it a few weeks in on mobile and didn't look back.
