Alright I'll make it short, it's a game filled seemingly with care and love.
And that's great, graphics are nice and so are all the different music tracks.
But let's talk about the gatcha it's steep.. very steep.
There's no pity and you have characters, pets and weapon on the same banner, as you can think that makes it hard to single out what you want.
Suger cubes which are small stat things you put on, characters, weapons and pets are also in a separate gatcha, as you probably understand there's a lot of rng and gatcha involved.
I personally think that suger cubes should be farmable and that pets weapons and characters should be split banners with a pity system, you already need a lot of additional copies for late promotions on gears and that's almost impossible with the current system as dupes are hard to come by unless a really low rarity.
Lastly stamina isn't plentiful and 3 paid recharges are so little is to literally cry for, if you lose a stage you lose about half if not more of the stamina spent and that just adds more salt to the injury, game gets hard and if you upgraded "poorly" you will get destroyed.
And you have the option to whale out a team and gear, I'm not saying it's pay to win, but you're punished for trying to clear lvls you can't just go and farm because I'm a few runs you're out, you need weapons and characters so you need to progress or pay.. therefore you get stuck very easily.
Increase the stamina cap, more refreshes, let the stamina cap lvl up and refreshes fully as your account lvls, make material stages available earlier and cut down some of the huge stamina costs.
Separate the banners into 3 different ones, and make Suger cubes farmable might as well remove stamina cost and make certain types available different week days and give people like 3-5 entries on them.
As an example 20 stamina per run will let you do 3 runs for like 3-10 materials and at already the 4th upgrade you need over 40 almost 50 out of one, and you're lvling 3 character 3 pets and 3 weapons.. minimum.
Keep working on this little passion project it isn't bad but need ironing and work on the translations.
