The unsponsored truth about MSD
max level ,finished all the quests , got every limited Character so far with their weapon . here's what i love , hate and future concerns about the game:)!
Quick run over the things i love : nyanners , the combat ( everything about it ) , The Challenging difficulty choice It was actually one of the first gacha games that made me think about rotations builds Early on , The dialogue Animations and expressions between characters I also loved the fact that there was no self insert with the main characters everybody had their own traits and best of all not all the female characters Were falling over the MC , The story is building up to be something promising , I think the game is F2P friendly so far you don't need a specific character to defeat a boss you just need the same element + The fact that there is no 50/50 And side quests give 30 gems and 1standard pull and take like 5 min to complete is nice + I appreciate the generosity With the standard pulls - like you can Actually get a 5 star standard character every update unlike some other games ahm genshin
what i HATE in depth :
small things : Those reminding red things You don't have to remind me that my artifact can be leveled I KNOW LEAVE ME ALONE some of them cant even go away , every time i skip it tells me "are u sure ?" YES u dont have to ask every TIME
RNG : the RNG with the monsterling there should be a way to lock the exact one you want + With all my soul I hate the RNG of the boots It does not feel like 25% per class it feels like 80% support and 20% anything but the character you wanna build . I'm not lying when I say until I Started getting 5 star artifacts my characters Were running a support boots . I DONT EVEN HAVE ONE ON THE TEAM If they don't give us away to select a class for the boots I would seriously stop playing the game . I wouldn't mind this as much if they weren't so hard to get , today i did a conquest (lvl15) 3 times ..got nothing not even a 1 star monsterling , also i dont know if this is my fault at nyanners lvl 27 90% of the monsterlings i get are 2 stars im not sure if this is user error so yeah
did not hate but they could do better in the future : the character designs not to be one of those players but a 5 star character in MSD feels like a 4 star in gi Characters Felt like they do not belong in the same world except the place influenced by Chinese culture I loved some of the designs but others felt very basic and flat , And for the love of God why is the difference between the heights of female and male characters so large ? the music was not that special + I think Mina is super enjoyable to play with but her game play animation felt meh and esther Was overall underwhelming
keys and events : i did not find the events good . super randomized or take waaay to many keys - speaking of them 100 a day is not enough .. i cant even fully level up 1 5 star artifact with it + the jars that gives u 20 key per jar .. I played the game from start to finish only to get 26 of them which is only 500key tbh I was at least expecting 60jar by the end of the story
Finally concerns : With the story progressing I saw them giving more screen time to cloud and pushing away verna , i know story wise hes the more "special" MC , But barely saying one line in one scene is not why I played the game in the first place - I played to see the mechanic between them both And Leave if she becomes a side character .
Anyways overall II really enjoyed the game I think it has a bright future it it was truly a breath of fresh air I think I will keep playing for two more versions and then decide if I want to keep investing my time into it . Also just to clarify this wasn't a professional review or anything it was more of a rant and I'm sure you can tell - I do not play a lot of gacha game other than WW ,GI ,R99 , HSR and HI3 So I am comparing This newly developed game to others who were much longer in this Field and have more budget . so take this with a grant of salt;) It's not that serious! But I truly wish they do better because I enjoyed it sm
