▍FINAL FANTASY EXPLORERS-FORCE
Japanese Gamer Reactions:
“Same SE game, Same SE server problems.”
“Mobile action games are so-so, but I like them so I’m looking forward to playing.”
“Played the beta before, liked it, but the gacha there’s too many jobs in one gacha…”
As usual, Square Enix releases another mobile game with server issues on the first couple of days after launch. However, unlike before, it seems players are no longer as patient as before.
FFEF os a mobile FF title which stresses on social elements. The game features certain MMORPG elements. Players will have to collect weapons from the gacha, which made players worry about Pay-to-Win situations. Officials has announced that changes will be made so all gear will be useful, as long as you keep farming (lol).
▍Sengoku Asura
Japanese Gamer Reactions:
“Bad summon rates, bad character models, bad game pace.”
“Not as bad as I expected, after playing I rediscovered the pros of White Cat Project.”
“Sengoku Enbu wasn’t that great either, so this doesn’t come as a surprise.”
Pretty much everyone expected Sengoku Asura to be something similar to White Cat Project. Surprising, the game feels quite different. Unfortunately, the game’s difficulty is quite high, as players cannot dodge attacks, even four-star characters can get one shot by enemies on higher level stages.
Since the game is completely co-op, most stages are much harder because of team compositions. No one wants to play tank or support roles. Combined with the low drop rates, the game is quite depressing after a while.
▍LINE Little Knights
Japanese Gamer Reactions:
“Real-time PvP has a heavy social element, you need friends to play.”
“Characters are adorable, but the gameplay is pretty hardcore.”
A Clash of Clans like gameplay where players can upgrade their own fort and attack other players. The main story tells a tale of players rebuilding their kingdom.
The game has quite a high strategic element. Cashing in on the iconic LINE characters and the real-time three-vs-three combat, the game has been quite successful!
▍My Tamagotchi Forever
Gamer Reactions:
“Cute, has a nostalgic element, but they seriously need to fix the sleep.”
“When your Tamagotchi sleeps, you have to watch it sleep or it’ll wake up, not very player friendly.”
“Too many ads, some ads aren’t even appropriate for children…”
Tamagotchi’s mobile title. Characters have been enhanced to look more adorable whilst maintining the iconic Tamagotchi look. Overall, the game has a great nostalgic worth, but when your Tamagotchi sleeps, players are required to keep the app running, or your Tamagotchi will wake up… Hopefully this major flaw will be fixed in future updates.
▍Stray Cat Doors
Japanese Gamer Reactions:
“Adorable characters, decent difficulty settings, a perfect game for cat lovers.”
“I love the art style, but the second half of the story is heartbreaking”
“Really adorable, but heartbreaking, players beware.”
An adorable escape game that surprisingly isn’t horror themed. The bright vibrant colors and adorable cat-like characters make it the perfect game for cat lovers?
