Petty and Greedy Devs/Support. Hope you go eos soon x
I played the game since it launched, and avidly at that, spending money and getting all limited time collab units. But Artery Gear devs and support are too petty. — I’ve always collected all limited time related items (with the exception of black swan Margot because that price was ridiculous for a skin, and they won’t rerun it, ****). — And then, the event that made me quit the game. I was going for an Iris icon, started my 30 target eliminations before hopping offline, and when I got on it didn’t count towards the completion for the icon event which had ended. I was at 44/60, and the 30 that I set before logging off didn’t count towards this last challenge because I hadn’t logged in in-time before the event ended. — I hope your game goes eos.

Dear Commander, we greatly appreciate your steadfast support for our game and deeply apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced while playing. Your dissatisfaction with the pricing of the limited-time collaboration Black Swan Margot and your suggestion for its re-release have been duly noted and will be conveyed to our team. Regarding the issue you raised about not logging into the game in time before the event ended, thus causing the 30 target eliminations you set beforehand not to count towards the final challenge, we understand your frustration and disappointment. We kindly remind you to pay attention to event deadlines in future games to avoid any unnecessary losses. Moving forward, we will introduce more events and sincerely invite you to participate actively to earn more resources and items. Should you have any further feedback, suggestions, or need assistance with other matters, please feel free to contact us within the game. Once again, thank you for your understanding and support. We wish you an enjoyable gaming experience.
The story is interesting to follow along but..
I rather be captured and be a slave to death while in clarice command and even her assistant while surrendering everything I have left… while seeing player vs player, what a coincidence, I can’t even beat and defeat a single player in a match, I keep on losing all the time, make the match more equal and balanced, I’m a free to play player, and this is not truly fair, I can’t even spend a single dollar in this game, I wish I did, but also the events are like only lasted for 2-3 weeks like really, come on, I wanted the special type of character I saved up real badly on grinding but it still isn’t enough, the game is super unplayable for none money spenders, unless you like player vs enemy and other easy task.

Dear Commander, thank you for your feedback. We suggest that you play more easy stages to obtain more materials and improve your combat power. At the same time, we will provide your suggestion of extending the event duration to our team. In the future, we will also launch more free activities and rewards to enhance commanders' gaming experience. Please stay tuned~
It’s just fine
The art and characters are wonderful, but the combat and enemy unit stats ultimately fall flat as you’ll be dealing with entire meat shields from just the start of chapter 4. This makes playing a complete slog as your forced to level up constantly, it got to a point where even type advantages were useless.
When I’m in battle I feel like my characters who doc supposedly 1000s of damage bolstered with an advantage in typing do nothing but give a slight paper cut to the enemy 20-10+ levels BELOW me. How does that even work..??
Most likely intentional to force long arduous hours of grinding for playtime. Either way, try it if you like grind games.

No longer supporting this game.
I’ve made purchases on this game prior to support the devs during collab events, but recently they have decided to run exclusive banners like the limited MA Units directly after a limited collab banner. This isn’t even mentioning the despicable practice of the Materia Sisters which were run alongside the limited collab banners and the rather impossible ability to actually max them.
Running limited MA units directly after, units that won’t be added to the normal pool, is specifically timed for manipulating people into spending an even more ridiculous amount of money.
I will not support such deplorable behavior, and would encourage others to do the same. This dev team will only continue to grow more despicable with time as they isolate their remaining player base and have to rely on fewer and fewer people to keep their game alive.

Crashes, crashes, and more crashes.
I want to like this game. I really do. But the game. CRASHES. SO. MUCH. Whenever I go into the mothership. Crashes. Beginning a stage. Crashes. Defeating the last enemy. Crashes. Often, it crashes just as I defeat the last enemy but before the Victory message appears, so I have to do the stage again and hope the crash happens after the Victory message appears and not before. And it wasn’t like this before the Ryza collab. Before, I could get through it just fine. Sure it’d crash every now and then, but I could just shrug and say “Hey, it happens,” and just continue on. Now it crashes every 5 minutes and is irritating. I like the collabs. I like the story and characters. I want to play this game again. Please. Fix. The. CRASHES!!!

One of the better gacha games
As far as gacha games go, this is one of the better recent releases. While whales are rewarded per usual with an expeditious climb up the gear ladder, the skill design of the vast cast of characters offers myriad party combinations outside of the meta with events offering enough resources and characters to keep anyone moving through the content without feeling pressure to engage in excessive spending.
Many gacha games leave me feeling lost with abstract systems that aren’t well explained and punishing experimentation by strictly limiting resources. Many gacha games require research in advance to know who to focus on or you risk wasting time and effort building a team that hits a wall hard requiring extensive financial investment to get through. But this game’s tutorial system is thorough and the beginner quests move newbies through the basics of character and gear development. The resources are plentiful enough where most characters can be built to a level where they’re usable in content, and mixing up different teams is required to get through the varied content.
I recommend giving it a go and picking up one of the cheap starter packs for a nice early boost.

Great game but crashes a lot
So far I really like the games storyline and gameplay. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 star is it constantly crashes. Especially when I try to access the fleet. I really hope that the developers can get this problem addressed cause I’d really like to play it without constantly reloading the game.
Great game but crashes often
Great game but why does it crash so often? It has been crashing almost every time I play it since I download this game 2 months ago. Usually it crashes after a battle is finished when playing the main story. And it crashes if I navigate the AG lists and equipment lists too often. It appears to crash due to lack of memory after showing lot of UI graphics, meaning there is a memory leak somewhere… Also it crashes instantly when changing AG in mothership.

Wow, Im so shocked by the bad reviews 😳
I normally don’t make game reviews but I'm gonna do my best. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST AUTO STRATEGIC GAMES IVE EVER PLAYED! Let me explain, with the speed tuning, gear refinement, character leveling focus, and energy usage; I can honestly say this game is worth way more that 3.9 and that only if we’re talking about game strategy. Art is top notch ! Animation is seamless. Reward system for beating different enemies under battle mode is amazing and rewarding. Character upgrade system, to me, is by far one of the best well thought out systems I’ve ever experienced on a phone rpg.
Now the gotcha system could use better rates on promotional banners but being that this is a gatcha game, it’s best to save for units that fit your particular play style for that game.
Overall this game should be its own original steeple in the app gaming industry. To the developers, keep doing an amazing job with the content creation for the game.
For any noobies to the game, when you get the infinite retools, make sure you pull for Ginga and Alice on the same pull. Trust me, your thank me later!

Hello Commanderthank you for giving us a try, we are very pleased that you like our game, and your kind words will encourage us to make an even greater effort! If you have any ideas or concerns, please feel free to contact us. Have a great day!
I like it, but I would not recommend it.
I’ll start by saying the art direction in this game is phenomenal. All of the character and background art is very high quality. The combat, while somewhat simple, is engaging enough to require some strategy at higher difficulty. The world building and character backstories are interesting. The ability to auto sweep missions while the game is closed is also a big plus.
With all of that said, I can’t recommend playing it. The major issue is that the game feels very stingy with its resources. Rolling for units is expensive, and the chances for 4 and 5 star units feel very low. The pity system feels designed to maximize FOMO while minimizing your ability to participate. The unit equipment system is interesting, but nearly impossible to get useful items. The energy system is very restrictive, even with the free energy consumables it hands out every day.
In short, I thinks it is a great game. But it does not feel like it respects my time and money. Make sure you know that going in.

Crashing
After two months and a couple full reinstalls the game is still crashing constantly. I give up until this is fixed. Other than that the inventory system needs to be fixed. There’s too many material and fodder drop. It clogs up the inventory and takes too much time to manage. It’s a shame because the visuals are too notch

Chances are so abysmal and crystals so hard to get
I would never pay money on this game. You have to play and beat an entire chapter flawlessly just to get maybe 1000 crystals which means you gotta do that again and then when you are done that, you have a 0.70% chance of getting the 5star that you are trying to get. It’s so discouraging, I’m the type to pay money in games from time to time when I enjoy playing, but the chances in this game are so abysmal I am not even tempted to at all because I would be throwing money into the toilet. I shouldn’t have to flawlessly complete 3 chapters just to get 10 recruits that’s just crazy to me because there aren’t many other ways to get crystals that I can see.

Amazing potential, ruined almost immediately
The main allure of this game was that it was promised to be a more f2p friendly variant of E7 with much easier time farming and obtaining units. Unfortunately, while it does much better on the former, it does so at the cost of the latter. The banner rates are fairly low, and it doesn’t help that they constantly push good banners one after another on top of collab after collab. Furthermore, the gem inflow is completely garbage. The devs are insanely stingy with me having spent a fair amount on the game and still get ruined by the awful rates and currency rates. The way CN and JP are going shows that there’s no plans on changing this style, so I’m quitting to avoid any further commitment. Go play arknights or azure lane or something.

Skill upgrades
Been playing about a month or so.
Made it through a few special events, was hyped to grab some rare characters, only to find out they intentionally pay wall the skill upgrade material so you can never fully level up their power without paying.
What more I cant get more material until the next event for them comes around. Probably 1yr+. Got 2 damned up new characters that I grinded out for. Not cool. Please stop this behavior. Im atrongly considering dropping the game because I am not looking forward to obtaining future money-capped characters. Definitely not spending on events anymore.

Broken PVP Experience
This game managed to dumpster it’s PVP experience by putting 2 extremely broken units in the game on day one, Alice and Timy which you will see in 99% of arena defenses. Timy pushes your team forward and can’t be hit or pushed back herself even if you out speed her and Alice attack buffs a unit giving them an extra turn which they immediately take. So every match comes down to a 50/50 on who out speeds who and gets cleaved to death. Even if you try to tank through it, since that buffed unit goes twice you are still dead. It’s boring and has zero strategy to it. I hope they add units to counter these 2 ASAP!

Not formatted for iPhone XR
I really enjoy the combat animations in this game as opposed to other games like it. The lighting adds a lot of ambience and looks really nice. However, the game isn’t formatted properly for the iPhone XR so the notch on my screen ends up covering things regardless of which way I have the phone rotated. Please fix this issue.

Keeping it real.
At the moment, In terms of being a hardcore player, I’d rate it a 4/5. For the casual player that just enjoys a story, some event content & smooth sails the game, I’d say this is a 5/5. The only reason why hardcore players like myself are disappointed or frustrated is the fact that energy is so scarce right now. & for you out there that read the reviews before downloading, this game is at least worth TRYING. The combat is amazing, graphics are top notch, animations are so satisfying, character models are somewhat unique for being a waifu mech game, the QoL is just absolutely astonishing. Give it a try, you won’t regret it. Oh & one last thing, the one downside I included earlier about the energy being scarce? The devs announced two new game modes that supply energy in the month of July to help resolve that issue! Hope this helps, & for the devs, please promote your beautiful/amazing game more! :D good day everyone.

Great story line but there’s issues
While the story is well written and I’m enjoying it I noticed that even though I picked a male commander the game will still occasionally (not always) use female pronouns when referring to the commander. Getting the cat boxes (what you use to level characters) is way to difficult, especially at a lower commander level, the last issue is that it feels like the pity system only works for those who spend a lot of money (200 summons is ridiculously high when getting the forging crystals (1800 for one ten pull) takes forever as a free to play player to get. For 200 you would need 36,000 forging crystals for one rate up character (after 2 weeks of just starting I’m barely even at 100 total summons). Those 3 issues prevent me from giving a 5 star rating.

If you are f2p stay away!!!
As f2p that comes from playing summoners war, epic seven, and counter side. This games is very and I mean very stingy with resources. There is already a lack in stamina/energy to play the game any longer than 30min a day. Besides, there is not daily free summon in a gacha game, and their pity system is way too high (200) with no consistent way for f2p ppl to gain currency. Games was a waste of time please avoid it, I am sick of their predatory ways to try and hook in players because they don’t provide enough of any basic resources that make a GACHA game such.

A fresh, but unoriginal take on E7's system.
Gameplay, fun. Visuals, great but not top tier. Progression had some glaring roadblocks but thats to be expected. Most of the gear system is copy-pasted from E7, and while that may put off many players, I don't necessarily see it as a bad thing.
I only have 2 complaints. #1: No husbandos whatsoever. #2: Not enough energy to farm normal resource events and target eliminations, since most energy should be directed towards the ongoing events, which I don't like.
