Shaman King: Funbari Chronicle is a new game for the Shaman King IP, and is definitely a treat for fans of the original manga, the 90's anime, and also the new remake anime. Visually, it looks really really good, with story mode having a nice and immersive manga feel.
Unfortunately, this game does not escape the trappings of an anime gacha game. It feels like any stereotypical gacha game from an anime IP, and its gameplay does not stand out at all, even with the beautiful manga feel. There is auto-battle and x2 speed, which is convenient, but it still has the same tired gacha game mechanics. It's fun, that is true, but I felt that I have played this same tired style for other IPs like KonoSuba and One Punch Man.
As for the gacha itself, rates aren't bad. The highest players can pull is 3 stars, but they can upgrade all characters to 5 stars. I like the gacha rate to be honest, and it's a lot more forgiving than most popular gacha games... I'm looking at you FGO!
Overall, it's not bad. I just got bored because the gameplay is basically the same as many other anime-based games. If you're a huge Shaman King fan, this game is for you. However, if you've played a ton of gacha games already, I'd say this one is the same as the others.
