Great game! But…

This game has an amazing story and amazing characters and gameplay… but the power creep is ABYSMAL. Characters become obsolete so quickly, and any older units you may have pulled and spent time to build have likely bricked your account, as they cannot survive the newer game modes and mechanics.

It breaks my heart to see a game with such a cool premise and gameplay style end up like this! The developers are very generous, but I feel afraid to spend any tickets on new units because I’m worried after a few more patches, they’ll be bottom-tier.

So please, I’d recommend staying F2P for this game if anything, as spending your money on characters is just not worth it anymore.

Mid game

The powercreep and rewards in the recent versions have been absolutely horrid. This used to be my favourite game but it sucks now.

Gets worse and worse overtime

I started playing since the start of Penacony, story was still good then. Honestly i liked the story and lore even more than Genshin at that time. And Amphoreus, that was genuinely the peak for me. I was totally engrossed into story and lore and i loved story lores for characters from penacony and amphoreus, especially Sunday and Phainon’s arc.

But now, everything is going downhill. 4-star character is non-existent. Powercreep is crazy. Every new dps requires other limited 5 star or premium team to do decent dmg. And a new character gets powercrept in about next 2/3 patches. New character either have same style designs with the same cut outfit and same color scheme. Nothing feels new nor innovative. Same copy and paste over and over again. Same cliche repeated again and again.

If it had been bad from beginning that would be a different story but it had potential, did reach that but its drowning now and its not picking itself up. I am still not used it, cause i used to get excited at the end of the day to login and play but now i barely login once a week and finally dropped the game.

The newest set of updates have ruined this game

I have been playing this game for a few years at this point, it looks great, great music, story starts off really strong then goes up and down in quality - however the game as it is currently is terrible. Every character you buy, potentially with real money, like I have before are invalidated because the game wants to you buy EVERY new character as they come out or else the only content the game provides becomes unwinnable. The newest character Pearl is an egregious sign of this where, unless you have 3 more of the newest ‘elation’ characters she does basically nothing which has not ever happened for a character in this game before. The bosses and enemies also need you to have ‘elation’ characters or else they gain massive amounts of hp and damage to the point that unless you have poured thousands into this game you NEED a full team of the newest characters.
Usually they create an alternate version of the main character for their newest mechanic so you can get your foot in the door for free to help you build up your new team, and this character has a spot even on the most optimised teams. This time round however the free character is absolutely useless and the first paid character was a straight upgrade to them. ALL of the endgame content is now catering towards these now 5/6 characters even though the game requires you use 3 teams of 4 and gives you conditions that hinder you greatly if not using this team.
The game does not sufficiently compensate players to the point that even people who play every day can afford to spend their currency on every new character that appears out of necessity. Even if you spend some amount of money it costs over £100 per base character, which you need to spend a second time to unlock their custom equipment which is becoming more and more necessary as the game goes on, especially with the newest additions as there is no alternatives
