As a player of the original Sword Girls Online game, I was excited to see that this was finally available for the IOS. After playing this for a while, here are my thoughts:
Pros:
- Large variety of girls and factions to mix and play with. With time and effort, you’ll be able to make your own custom deck to steamroll everyone.
- Moderately easy to understand battle system
- Numerous levels to unlock
- Nice art
- Decent AI for player auto battle
- Decent effort for translating some of the Korean text into English.
- Runs well even for lower spec phones (using iphone 10 atm, doesn’t crash)
Cons:
- EXTREMELY horrible material grind (What I mean by this is that when trying to craft cards, they require hundreds to THOUSANDS of one material just to make one card. It doesn’t help that completing one whole dungeon run can take an entire 30-45 minutes and earns you only 80-120 materials. Big big wasteful time sink even with the AD auto-run boost you can buy with real money)
- While card effect descriptions are translated, card flavor text and story mode text are still not completely translated into English.
- The early to middle game can be very rough because the AI has super rare or double rare cards that can utterly destroy a new player’s default deck. This will push players to spend real life money to buy more stronger cards instead of encouraging them to craft the cards.
- UI is sometimes inconvenient; I wish there was a button that shows me all the cards I can craft at once instead of having to go to the album page and then flip through each episode to look for one specific card to craft. Also, there’s nothing telling new players that they can get a bunch of gacha tickets for free by going into the shop to redeem them.
- Very few daily missions to do for ingame currency
Suggestions:
- Add a x3 or x4 button to speed up dungeon running (please respect player time since we have other things to do too)
- Lower the amount of materials needed to craft cards, or increase the amount of materials we get from dungeons
- Decrease the number of loading screens
- Add more freebies for players to have :)
