I’m in love with this game ever since it came out
I just wish it was free because I’m broke. Oh well.
This self installed. I did not install this

A fun romp, but deeply flawed.
Yeah, I downloaded this game because I wanted to see hot anime women running around shooting monsters. What of it? I know who I am. (Although, I could have done without the characters who look and sound under-age.)
I initially had fun with this game for the year+ that I had it. It’s possible to automate so much of the gameplay that it’s essentially an idle game, and you can end up spending most of your time doing side tasks to gather the resources you need to power up your squad of Valkyries, but I was okay with all of that. Power up the ladies as best you can, let them loose, and see how far they can go.
The problems started when I found myself failing mission after mission even though I thought I was keeping up with resource-gathering pretty well. It got to a point where I was just beating my head against a wall, going nowhere, and very little seemed to help. It was becoming less and less fun. Also, the power levels didn’t seem to make sense. I’d defeat an opponent with 15M more power, but then immediately lose to an opponent with 15M less power. I could gain 14M more power in a single session, but it didn’t seem to make much difference at all. The same enemies I couldn’t defeat at the start I still couldn’t defeat at the end. It looked like I was making decent progress, watching the numbers go up, but finding that I was ultimately going nowhere was frustrating and discouraging.
But, of course, I knew what the problem was. This game’s deepest flaw. This game may be free-to-play on the surface, but at its core it’s a pay-to-win game, and I was unwilling and (more importantly) unable to pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars to buy the resources I needed to get to the power level I was apparently supposed to be at to make any significant headway in my progress. I guess I’m just not allowed to enjoy the game as much as the whales do.
(Another thing is that apparently this game is PVP as well, but I was only interested in the single-player content. So, I guess I just wasn’t playing the game right. How dare I play a game the way I want to play it?)
The final straw was that, over the past week, there were four instances of me using the blue gems to buy some resources only to find the game took my gems and gave me nothing in return. So, now I was getting either glitched or cheated out of the resources I legitimately bought with in-game currency. Nope. To hell with this. I’m done. Uninstalled.
And it’s a damned shame, too, because I really liked this game. What’s worse is that this isn’t even the first game that has done this. I never wrote a review for Galaxiga, but the same thing happened with that game, too. I think I’m developing a grudge against gacha and pay-to-win games.
This problem could have been alleviated if there were a reward system for watching ads. I don’t know about anyone else, but I would have been willing to sit through a handful of ads if I got significant rewards (and the odds of getting rare/powerful items temporarily getting a massive boost) for watching them. I’d come back to this game if the devs added that, and I felt the rewards were good enough. But, as of now, I’m walking away because I don’t want to beat my head against a wall anymore.
3 stars for the game itself, but no more than that for all the ways pay-to-win and gacha mechanics ruin it.

Can we get a little diversity?
Fun game but as I collect Valkyries I’m disappointed that none of them even have a tan. It’s also extremely uncomfortable that a few of them are based on children. I know it’s a thing in anime but it’s still uncomfortable
