### 5/5 — GFL 1

*2026-04-15, version 3.0810*

Been playing since 2019 and have been loving almost every aspect of it. It’s what got me more into the firearm space and end up owning pure clone rifles because of this game. But I digress. For newcomers coming from Exilium, welcome. Hope you enjoy the storytelling as much as I did, which I believe this series played in a part of creating the trope of “ooh game about anime girls and guns”, to the darkest and grittiest plots you expect from a war themed genre thru PEAK story-telling. Every new gacha game I started, they immediately get placed on the back burner whenever a new chapter came out for this game, even GFL 2 at times.

From a game aspect, pretty overly forgiving when it comes to rolling for the Tactical Dolls and their dupes (dummies) if you be patient and play the waiting game to collect resources. As long as you have the production tix, you can just keep on rolling. 

Small rant:
Even though I put 5 stars, it’s more of a 4.5 as there have been collabs with multiple media like the Gunslinger Girl, The Division, Va11-Ha11a, Ghost in the Shell, etc., with no more reruns with only Arena: Breakout being the only collab that did. I get the IP ownership and copyrights but it’s just my small gripe since there are T-Dolls, and exclusive equipment sets that I missed and can’t get anymore. Same with the monthly log-in 3* dolls and other equipment featured that barely get featured in the Grey Zone area. But as for everything else, 5*

### 5/5 — Veryyyy good

*2026-02-03, version 3.0710*

Amazing character design gameplay and story

### 1/5 — > Does it have plot?

*2026-01-20, version 3.0710*

> It has anime girls

### 5/5 — Better than the second

*2025-11-11, version 3.0710*

The gameplay is a logistics fan dream, the T-dolls being based on and having the names of irl firearms is just such a great concept. I enjoyed this vastly more than the second.

### 4/5 — Buggy

*2025-10-11, version 3.0600*

My screen always has this loading thing on it regardless of if I sign in or not and it’s hella annoying. Plz fix this bug. Like I’m logged into the game but this loading thing is there blocking half my screen

### 1/5 — Boring

*2025-10-07, version 3.0600*

As a new player, the game is very difficult to invest in. I think whole gacha system and grinding is too complicated for me. Gameplay bores me. There is no against the game. It looks really nice. I love the art and girls.

### 1/5 — WTF！

*2025-09-20*

台服死哪了呢？这种全英文的我怎么看得懂啊！难道被迫放弃老婆们了吗QAQ

### 4/5 — 2025 Review

*2025-09-08, version 3.0600*

It’s pretty good to my surprise, When I saw this i compared it to the new one, But when I downloaded it and played it, it was pretty good even if this game is older than 5 years..I love the gameplay and Gacha so. so if you’re looking for a nice and simple game that is fun and kinda addictive, this is it. ALSO if you don’t have THAT MUCH storage you can always play this UNTILL u get a new device or more storage to play the new one..SO this is a game for people that doesn’t have that much storage.

### 5/5 — laji

*2025-08-21, version 3.0600*

youxi

### 5/5 — 666我成了！

*2025-07-14, version 3.0600*
