Thread 1728194

Isometric action game with generous gacha system for Android, PC and Apple, allegedly by ex-PGR devs.
70-30% temporary banners with 70 rolls to guaranteed 5* character, 100% 5* weapon banner with 50 rolls, pity carries over.

Background story: Myths and legends are true and they never disappeared, first area is about the tower of Babel, a large library which stretches out beyond the sky.

Release characters.

>>1728194 (OP)
Sorry, not rolling for dudes.

>>1728203
Yeah, I'm not feeling it. Characters doesn't look that interesting. Feels like like boring version of FGO.

>>1728244
I'm gonna give it a try, it's either this or StellaSora, and i don't know the monetization nor banner rates for that one.

Pass

>but will shift to a bootleg galge when it starts flopping
Galge?

Pre-download is up. Game will launch in 13 hours

Would instantly jump on this game if it had some kind of co-op play. Honestly, more gacha slop should consider adding co-op. It's more fun that way

looks good
mc gender status?
i see it has male chars so that's already a point against it

>>1728298
Wait there's no co-op at all?
Probably dropped then. I already play ZZZ but dislike how you can't play with friends in that game for battles. I was really hoping this game would fill that niche and would be like Dragalia or something.

>>1728306
MC is genderless from what I saw during the beta

>>1728446
that's very unfortunate

I'll give this a try but if they keep referring to (You) as "they" instead of "him" I'm dropping it.

>>1728203
Why is every girl except for the black safe horny?

>>1728617
they don't seem to be going for the coomer audience at all...unfortunately

It is made by ex-pgr devs so yeah, gotta be all serious and edgy plot. Not too edgy like PGR tho because that crosses into weeb/chuuni territory.

>>1728284
>google play games
That's mostly just emulator not a real PC client, though. So far from all the games that I played on there, only BD2 use an actual PC client. Which probably because they already have stand alone launcher prior to adding it to GPG.

>>1728194 (OP)
Picked up just for barefoot shota and notXiao clone, I like the gameplay just hope the story isn’t a snoozefest to keep up with

>>1728747
i suppose you can't use a gamepad with google play games, then? sucks

>>1728617
>>1728655
it's not meant to be horny you porn addicted freaks

i hate to be *that* guy, but man... it looks like there's no hype about this game whatsoever. i'm worried about trying it out and liking it...

>>1728766
She's not going to fuck you dr pizza.

>>1728772
It's a new studio's first game. That's kind of expected

>don't like playing on my phone
>download google play on pc
>game runs like shit on it
it's over. my toaster is pretty outdated but i'm sure i'd be able to run it if it was a native pc version instead of emulation. go on without me bwos

>>1728791
just to clarify because i forgot a pretty important piece of information, lmao: i tried out *another game*, with simpler graphics than black beacon, and it ran terribly. so i i'm sure it's not gonna work well on my toaster

15 minutes...

It's almost here. Hopefully the controls don't suck on mobile or I'm gonna get filtered fast

>You can only login by connecting your google, apple, or fb account
What the hell is this

>complete cn and en dub
>jp dub is only for battle voicelines
it was over before it even began...

>>1728203
Butlergirl is the only non generic looking one.

from leddit, holy fuck
>>1728842
it gets worse

>no JP for story voicelines
Yea I'm gonna uninstall soon if isn't fun because I'm just gonna skip the story just because of that

The video cut scenes are lagging af lol. This shit is not optimized at all

>>1728850
pretty dumb decision, also makes me feel like skipping the story. people who played the beta say it's actually pretty great, so that's a shame.

>>1728844
>>1728850
ywnbj

>>1728853
english va in anime stuff makes me cringe, and chinese sounds terrible to my ears. that's all.

>>1728844
>full EN before full JP
that's certainly a choice, was JP too expensive?

>>1728851
The combat is smooth and seems fun. In-game 3D cut scenes don't lag but for some reason the video ones do. I think I'll pass, I can feel the phone warming up. The game needs more time to bake

>>1728842
No? There's a guest sign in option.

>>1728791
It seems like it only runs on google play games too, other emulators get an illegal program notice so you can't use those if they ran better for you for whatever reason. The game seems to be of a decent quality compared to most mobile games so it's odd there isn't a pc client at it's launch like gfl2. Think I'll pass for now, maybe they'll add a pc client later but by the time they do we'll have had other high quality mobile/pc game releases by then.

>no controller support
ez skip

>>1728864
was about to post this, they really should have done a native pc port

Eng vo is actually not that bad.

>gpg crashed while compiling shaders
great launch experience lol

Cool

Gacha devs really should realize there's no recovering from bad launches for 90% of games, I guess exceptions like Limbus have made them half-ass things...

>>1728879
But what about blue archive?

can't post the screenshot right now, but... did they censor nanna's cleavage?

post the tierlist, which one should we pick from the guarantee 30 pulls?

Anyone get the game working on an emulator? I want to reroll with multiple instances.

>>1728879
Wuthering waves lost 70% of its playerbase on the first month and wizardry literally stole everyone's money for first three months by giving false banner info and wrong character skillset. Limbus Company, Blue Archive, and Nikke all had terrible launches.

>>1728203
Anna, Viola and Lagos get censored wtf why?

They want me to pinch zoom on fucking pc. How the fuck?

>>1728882 (me)
welp, she has a bra now, compare it to >>1728203
owari da

>>1728887
pics???

>not even reddit have guide for this game
any tips for team building and reroll?

>>1728890
play the game,Viola side boob get covered.

>Cursed homo seed
Did they at least streamline the reroll process like Tribe Nine and Meguca did?

>>1728851
the first video cutscene ran fine for me, but the second was a stutter fest

>>1728887
Nanna yes, the other two no.

>>1728892
Again, no.

>>1728896
Shill-kun post the game guide instead of damage controlling regarding censorship

whale here
would there be any point for my existence
any leaderboards or guild shit or pvp or coop where f2ps would kneel to my presence?

>>1728898
Here is my guide:
Viola and Ninsar are the best

>>1728893
Nope. Also if you close the game while on a guest account it gets fucking nuked. Thank fuck I was going to reroll anyways.

voice director sucks ass reminds me of the plainest wuwa EN dubs for its launch with the flattest voice acting possible 1999 is right there for reference...

>>1728902
>if you close the game while on a guest account it gets fucking nuked
wait what

ETE Chronicle came out a few weeks ago and that had a shit thing where to get some of the pre-register rewards you had to have pre-registered on Google Play and it only counted the first time, so if you rerolled you got fucked out of another 20 pulls. Does this do the same thing? There were 10 gold pulls and 20 normal pulls the first time around, and the free Ninsar and some free costume too.

>>1728906
Yeah I'm on guest accounts and still getting that amount.

>>1728902
>>1728905
It does not.

Who's the second limited character and what's their role? I see people mentioning them but not going into detail.

I was willing to stomach a few homos, but censorship is where I draw the line.

You can get 30/20 pulls to start with rather than just 20/10, after claiming all your mail go to the store and get the free packs, then go to the event window and tab through all of those to get another 10 normal pulls, then spend all of your normal rolls, after that use your gacha currency to buy the 5 gold keys in the shop, then do the Florence character trial in the events list, and then you should have enough gems to buy another 5 gold keys with that.
Evidently Florence is the reroll target since everyone else is in the standard pool where you can pick them at 30 and 300 pulls.

I do not see this game being more popular than Knights of Veda

>>1728931
it feels doa imo

>>1728934
Big issues are honestly lack of marketing and production value. This game feels like it would have done well in 2020.

>>1728934
expected more knowing its ex kuro devs but the game just bricking is kinda shit among the floaty feeling combat

>>1728934
for me this game feels like auto battler instead of button mashing, the map design give me headache

>>1728925
>>1728889
Don'tchu just hate it when games do this often. The only shameless cleavage character. That action should tell you about the devs themselves.

>>1728942
>kurogame get censored
>exkurogame get censored
im noooticing something here

This game could've found an audience if they had auto battle + all teammates on the field.

>map too small for semi open world game
>whenever you try to collect the chest you accidentally clear the stage
>no mini map
>button mashing feels "floating"
Looks like some higher up demand the game to get changed to Genshin/Wuwa clone, the game layout and UI feels like auto battle game instead of button mashing game.

>>1728904
Bold of you to assume they even had one and didn't just give the VAs their lines and told them to figure it out

No PC client?

>>1728274
>normie with one male every gorillion females but will shift to a bootleg galge when it starts flopping
wuwa....

>>1729006
nope, and you can't use emulators besides google play games which sucks

dam that does suck, since playing wuthering waves I really don't enjoy the idea of playing any action gacha without a controller.
I'll give Google play games a try but as far as I know it's just an emulator with less features.
They've got a full Eng VA so I assumed it was well funded so I guess the pc gacha market is smaller than I've always thought.

fucking google play emulator is so shit, fucking stutter fest everywhere....

>>1729019
they have full eng and chinese dub but no japanese btw, weird choice

>>1729025
Yea its bizarre, Problems with the JP VA's maybe? or do they just not think they can penetrate the JP market at all.

>>1729029
well, apparently japanese and korean launch got delayed too, so i guess so
regardless, i don't like english voice acting, so i tried chinese but it sounds really fucking lifeless and monotone

>>1729019
>the pc gacha market is smaller
It is. How many gachas have announced with PC release instead of mobile only? You can prolly count it with one hand.

>>1729049
I could think of a few but you're right, I also don't know the technical challenges of translating from Android or IOS to windows.
From what little I've read it seems the devs do want to make a pc client at some point, it's just no idea when that will ever come to fruition.

I like the art direction a lot here, everything else not so much. Guess I'll pass.

I'm gonna pick this game again when it gets a full jp dub

>>1728889
I'm out, there are too many good choices out there to waste my time supporting censorious devs. Especially when the game is barely lewd to begin with. Girls walk around in public all the time showing as much if not more skin. It's absurd especially when games aimed at girls and fags get no censorship at all.

I'm going to try the game out after work
What are (You) thinking about it so far?

Between the shitty experience on PC, no full Japanese voice acting, and censorship, my desire to play this is almost zero now.
It's a shame because the girls, while covered up, are cute and seem to have interesting personalities, the gameplay seems fun, and the lore/setting is unique.

>>1729124
Meant for
>>1729123

>girls are cute, gameplay is fun, lore is interesting
>I don't want to play it tho
I see

>>1729123
depends if my pc can run it, going to be honest so far not enjoying lack of controller support. I do like the POV though, It feels like IM REALLY there.

>>1729128
I'll elaborate then: Google Play Games is a piece of shit and the fact the devs said before launch there would be a PC client and this is what we got is insulting. All the other emulators (like LDPlayer, MuMu, etc) are 10x better but they've been intentionally blocked by the developers. To give you an idea how bad GPG runs, pre-rendered videos run at like 2 fps for me and some other anons for some reason. It's not very fun. Also no controller support.
There's no JP voice acting, so your choices are between bad English voices and horrible Chinese voices.
The one character who wasn't covered up was Nanna, and she has been censored. The game also has males, including one who really looks like a fag.
Ambiguous gender faceless MC sucks imo.
The girls look cute, and Ereshan is pretty interesting.
Gameplay doesn't seem particularly deep but isometric perspective is kinda novel, and fun enough.
The lore/setting is intriguing, and the game's "style" is cool.

>>1729131
Why were other emulators blocked anyways? I've had no issue playing other games on them and it always ran better than gpg (Uninstalled that pos, it's also annoying it's forced installed on C:\). It's just so bizarre they would go out their way to do that when everyone else is just cool with them.

>>1728203
>>1728889
AAAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHAHAJAJAJJA FUUUUCK THIIIS TRAAAASHHHH

>>1729131
>To give you an idea how bad GPG runs, pre-rendered videos run at like 2 fps for me and some other anons for some reason.
It's like that on an actual phone too. The pre-rendered videos are broken.

>>1728766
Better hope it has an amazing story or some shit, these games come and go in the blink of an eye.

>>1728889
She actually looks good instead of trashy now

why don't you go back to plebbit, they love censorship there

I think they really shot themselves in the foot not doing a native PC client.

Feel like this game is gunning for Guilongchao rank lol

>>1729242
absolutely, i held my nose and checked reddit and it's all complaints about technical issues, gpg being shit, and people not being able to play the game

>>1729246
ching guon chon to you too

is this really morse code?

>>1728203
>mixed toilet
No thanks.

It's okay, has anyone found out how to rebind keys on the google play emulator?
also the devs neglected to give us a camera button unfortunately, can't do the pinch gesture on this. Feels like no one play tested the google emulator.

>>1729403
you can rebind the keys directly from the game

>>1729414
Hot dam you're right anon, was locked from me I kept trying to rebind using the google emulator itself. Thanks.
it also lists a way to change camera that's nice.

>>1729402
You're mentally ill

Honestly seems like a fun casual game and the english va is huge for people too lazy to read, i think this google rate limit thing will fuck them though, god knows I don't want to spend until I cant connect an account and if I lose my guest account I'm not likely to restart.

>>1729359
I think there's a hidden message here...

>>1729402
it's mixed toilet but at least it seems to be just as (you)pandering as PGR

>>1729402
outside snowbreak and nikke what games feature zero males these days.

Reroll targets?

>>1729435
Florentine or Li Chi for meta, Logos/Viola below that, Ereshan if you're a serial malder, Nanna if you're addicted to choco, don't like loli choco, and are OK with her being bad

Cum... We'll rebuild this tower...

Why is Cosmos flirting with me

>>1729435
Probably Florence.
You get 30 pulls for free and a 5* standard selector so you could just pull Florence and Select Li Chi or Logos (if you dislike males)

Oh shit the first person view is new for me
I don't remember if any gacha ever did this

>>1729446
Wizardry

Shamash looks cool
His moves are also smooth

What do we think of this tier list so far?

>>1729455
>>What do we think of this tier list so far?
Surprised zero is so high I mean she's a free unit after all and she's the same tier as Florence.
disappointed choco shota and vera garnet are so low.But I guess Xin's problem is she is a Lightning dps in a game where Li-chi exists.

I can see Nanna's nannas jiggling on my face

Ereshan is kind of a bitch

>>1729462
Yea she's pretty schizo, at first I thought zero was just autistic but I wouldn't want to deal with Ereshan either.

>>1729455
don't care, I'm still building erewife

i'll be honest, nanna being censored really turned me off the game. her design wasn't even that lewd. sadly that and no native pc port are making me reconsider playing this

Is Florence meant to be a quick swap character?
Her animations take so long

Is this a WuWu clone?

What's a WuWu?

I'm not really feeling it with Florence
Might just skip her and wait for the next limited

>was working find yesterday
>now it's crashing when I start a stage

>>1729466
Most seem to agree with you, anon

>sign-in rate limit
How the hell am I supposed to buy the top-ups when I can't even save my account

>>1729435
Best reroll is 3 copies of Florence.

>brickrence
>rerolling for a 1.0 dps

>no general on /vg/
how long till EoS?

>>1729615
depends really, solo leveling arise never got a VG general and barely got any posts on here and it's going to celebrate it's anniversary soon it's also usually one of the top earners if you trust chart autism.

>>1729615
We can always just make one
I only learned about the game yesterday because some anon mentioned in another general so most just have no idea the game exists
The free loli and stuff they're giving expires today so I think it would be good to advertise there so anons can get it too

I'll go make one a bit later
If you want anything to be in the OP just reply

>>1729633
>Release game
>free launch goods expire 1 day later
Well deserved death.

>>1729633
Such a short time for limited rewards is very shitty of them, they should atleast be 7 days.

What do you anons think
Our current OP is good enough

you shouldn't really need more than that. I don't think it'll survive on /vg/ though,even considering this is a slow board, I've not seen a single /v/ thread on black beacon either.

Anon got this apolokeys for us
30 standard pulls + bunch of leveling material go wild

Does it support controller on mobile? Otherwise it might as well be unplayable.

>>1729759
it lacks solid controller support.

>Florence keeps moving down lower and lower on the tier lists with each passing day
nyo...

Thread speed has slowed down severely
Did everyone drop it already?

>>1730645
some people made a thread on /vg/, not sure if it's still alive

I like the Library of Babel mythology so making a game based on that premise is neat. I wonder if it'll be enough to hook me.

Objectively speaking, I'm not sure why anyone should play this over Aether Gazer

>>1730778
I play both anon-chama.

>>1730778
I personally get overwhelmed trying a new gacha that's over a year old. By then there's too much FOMO and the story has devolved into nonsense. I don't know much about Aether Gazer, but that's my reasoning for most games.

>>1730778
I dropped AG after playing daily since launch a few weeks ago. The last couple of patches and events have sucked ass and there's nothing to do besides weekly IT which is boring once your teams get easy clears.

>>1730979
2,5 months per patch is simply atrocious and I hope the situation would improve after they are done with Yostar. Literally half a year had been wasted on something that should have been finished within 3 months.

>>1728194 (OP)
>limited characters

Thanks but I'm staying with PGR

MuMu Player is supposedly working for folks to free us from the hell that is GPG

I got it to work briefly but I already have another computer where I deal with GPG

>>1730778
why would I play aether gazer over this? assume I know nothing about it.

I might try it instead of GPG then. absolute ass of an emulator.

/vmg/... home...

am i stupid or is there not a different big gacha with this kind of gameplay
i didn't know what a 'isometric action game' was at first but im actually interested now since pgr usually relies too much on invincibility frames
are stages time based? thats another of my gripes with pgr, its a little too stressful since it encourages perfect play (sometimes 'perfect' can be quite forgiving with super armor, but I mean like im not allowed to take a breather mid match and every hit punishes you by wasting timer/forcing early swap)

bros why did Black beacon fail?

you did roll for ji xia right bros?

>>1762660
honestly I don't really feel pushed to do any event since the time for them is generally overa month
it's pretty chill

>>1762800
i meant more like the 5 minute/3 minute timer for individual stages that force you to optimize dps

damn no one warned me about english/chinese only for story
also it feels a little weird that i cant rotate cam in top down. i also got used to having a dash on regular attacks from pgr. graphically it looks more like wuwa, it's not nearly as flashy as pgr

>>1762716
>still over a week left
Ji Xia's slow ass banner killed the game

>>1763034
He didn't help yeah, but i wonder if it's just the end game or gameplay people dislike.

>...such is the eternal fruitless summer
Holy kino
I love this game

Xin's story was so good!
Wish I had done it way earlier
I wonder if we'll see Tiaohua again

>>1763327
I love xin, I hate she's considered so weak due to leeeechia and puppet loli.

>nooooo, the guy is not going to kill the game, he is handsome!
doomers are ALWAYS right

>>1762706
>>1762716
There is enough choice out there now we don't have to settle for mixed toilet slop anymore.

>>1763499
>version event rerun
Already getting reruns?

>>1764269
I did miss the one free retrieval per day so I'm glad it's back

Is unironically dead on global. It never recovered from its disastrous launch.
It wouldn't surprise me if down the line they cut the global server and migrate everything to a single CN server, in order to cut costs.

>>1764292
If they migrate the global accounts there that wouldn't be too bad, but the things that's gonna happen is that they are gonna pull the plug on the global server and the CN server will have moderate success to create another game down the line

「"I am Yuli, the Puppetmaster. If you need me, just pull the string."」- Yuli

Over time, Yuli has come to accept the reality of her memory loss. As she began to find her footing in CangLin City and started a new life, Sue played a crucial role.

It seems that the general was pushed off the toilet of 4chan (vg). Damn this game is just not popular at all. I blame Enki for everything.

>>1765200
Will Yuli save the game?

Can somebody check Vulcan's Grace for me
Is it saying that we'll get another chance for a 5-star weapon of our choice?
If you go to quests there's a new Complete Story 7-23 one and 3 others that'll open in 2 days

>>1764292
Lol, makes me feel a bit better about dropping it. It's still a bit sad since it was more interesting than most gachas.

>>1767020
it's only one per patch
the unlocks are just 3 more missions you can choose to complete the 5

This game should have been an anime d2 clone

So what do we think of Yuli?

>>1768440
She cute, but I have no resources to build her. And I don't even know how to build her.

mixed toilet state?

>>1768440
she is really cute and the best one to use, but they need to do a soft relaunch or cut their losses soon, theres zero interest anywhere

>>1768457
I wonder if she can pair well with Li Chi or Viola

No PC client is killing this game

>>1768905
The amount of lag I get from the googleplay thingy is out of this world
If I didn't like the game I would've dropped already

>>1768457
>doesn't even have japanese voicelines
Seems that they don't even have the budget for it anymore, which is pretty bad because even smaller gachas can afford seiyuus.
It's looking grim, I would start to consider abandoning the ship.

We should probably use only one thread no reason to split
