Let's start by saying this is a Gatcha-style Game, where if you do get addicted you are going to spend alot of money.
Blue Archive is a recently released mobile game for the international audience. I find it very cute and entertaining, so I am definitely one of the target audience for this.
Let me show you what the gameplay looks like first.
yep fully voiced in japanese.
a Unit or squad is composed of 4 Strikers and 2 Specials.
they use different guns from handguns to sniper rifles(depending on the character).
have positions roles like Back, Middle, and Front.
Different Roles such as Tanks, Dealers, Healers and Supporters.
They also have different main ability and sub abilities.
This is Chise, a striker, middle position, a damage dealer, with heavy armor type and uses a grenade launcher.
They have a Damage/Defense System, Here is the table.
Now When you start a mission there is this turn based board game.
later in the levels they introduced fog of war.
This is what It looks like when in battle.
using main ability cards.
hehe, how cute can they get.
there is a PVP mode ingame. so this is definitely feels like playing 'axie infinity' with equal parts 'genshin impact' in a 'The Division' world.
They also have this. Relationship System. oh boy.
And Also this. you can add furnitures and edi the layout.
This is so far what I experienced, R.I.P. wallet. I can imagine myself throwing money in this.
this is cute.
