Enigma of Sépia 12+

Short and Sweet review of the game (Quest lvl 252):

Although this game just came out a couple of days ago, I’ve already unlocked most of the content. I think this is the most fun part of the game. At first, the quest requirements to unlock new places seemed excessive, but once you realize the game has AFK battles that let you keep progressing no matter what you’re doing, it becomes more fun and motivating. You don’t have to grind 24/7 like most gachas—you can literally go to work, and by the time you come back, everything has leveled up significantly. This is what kept me going since I’m a busy person and don’t always have time to grind.

However, when I finally had time to actively play and grind, I realized there wasn’t much to actually grind or do. It’s strange because the game’s greatest strength is also its biggest weakness. There’s so little to grind since the game does most of it for you that it gets boring when you actually try to play. I definitely enjoyed leveling up the characters, with Mirage being my favorite, but since the game also grinds for you, it takes forever to unlock new content. It feels quick when you’re busy, but when you’re genuinely trying to play, it drags on.

Outside of this, I love all the characters and costumes but would really appreciate an overarching story to connect their narratives. If the game had a story, I personally believe it would help alleviate some of the grind issues. Overall, I’d rate the game a 7/10.

So far it seems like all its characters are just gender swapped famous anime characters (ie goku, vegeta, tanjiro, killua) while I dont see this as an issue really I do hope there are some original ideas mixed in. Also hopefully the game doesn’t get sued and shutdown. I’d probably wait to spend any real money till it for sure stays up on the App Store.

Other than that the animations seem good, a little choppy during the tutorial but ehh. Special moves are clean and very well done. 1 big turn off is the wall of pay to win 4 rows long they slam you with as soon as the tutorial is done. Gonna give it 4 stars and hope it keeps looking good. And keeps being legal to play. 😂

Def worth a try if you like gacha games

This is exactly the type of gacha style game I was looking for. Although some heroes feature similar art from other games, they are all extremely well done and the art style is fantastic. There’s a number of currencies but they are pretty easy to understand and follow. There’s a LOT of stuff to do. I’m hoping that as you progress heroes that it will unlock special looks.

A few suggestions for improvement: please allow us to level up in increments rather than using all resources to go to max level. Please also add some type of 120hz smoothing feature for higher end phones. If you smooth out the battle and up the frame rate, it will be hard to beat this game art wise and visually. Lastly, would love to see a roadmap of things to come. This may be my new main game for the foreseeable future. I’m no whale but I don’t mind spending some money every month if it means a great game with consistent content.
