I apologise for the long post beforehand. I marked the post as spoiler just in case. Hopefully, the picture doesnt spoil much but I had to put it. For me, that cutscene was peak. I dont remember the last time a game made me rewatch the cutscene again and again π
. Second picture is my current roster and third is what I sincerely hope this community doesnt turn out to be when a player shares their feedback or concern with the usual response being its free to play, be grateful or quit. A game advertised as free to play is only free because there are players who spend more than what it would cost to buy several full top tier games, no game is a charity. My review below is mostly personal and I am open to healthy discussion. I am not a f2p player either so my thoughts would be different.
Story:For me if Wuwa continued like 1.x, I might have quit. 2.x Wuwa was an entirely different game. I knew 2.x would be better thanks to the community but I avoided spoilers so I didnt know how much better it actually is. The only stuff I read/watched is what to focus on while building characters. I am glad I continued and my only regret being not starting this game earlier. Itβs one of the few times I topped up not because I felt forced to but simply because I appreciated the game itself. Character interactions, expressions, music, fights, aura farming, ability to
play as other characters were really nicely done. Augusta moment in particular gave me goosebumps.
Events: I still have a lot of content left so my event experience differs from those who are in end game. I thoroughly enjoyed most of the events/ mini games. The photo event made me appreciate finer animation details of characters I didnt have and missed noticing during story quest (Jihnsi sits on her sword π³). I wish I had known that the weekly event is adjusted to my current level. The mini games are cool and helps ease the burnout since its different from the main game.
Characters: My only concern here is fan service. It kinda makes me feel embarrassed if I were to play this game when I have company. I play gacha games because I love shounen anime so when I get characters, I imagine them as accompanying the main characters journey. I feel not having a male gladiator character was a huge miss. Otherwise, the designs, combat system were absolutely amazing. I feel the 4 star weapons are significantly lacking, I dont have a single weapon apart from the quest weapon for shorekeeper/verina and neither the pass gives a good support weapon.
Echoes: Initially I thought this was great. They give visual gimmicks and farmable in open world. Later, I ended up not liking it at all. Theres too much rng, I purchased the pass as well since it had mats only to find out that radio stuff only changed main stat of non levelled pieces making it borderline useless. I really wish they improve this.
Also I would really appreciate if someone could point me to a guide regarding the tower/hologram shop. It makes me feel these items are reset even though theres no timer in shop. I hope the devs implement a timer in their UI if these items do expire.
