I mained Vane and then Id previously, and let me tell you, it is so painful that Siete does not have a skill-to-finisher link. This man is dependent on his avatar for damage, but damn if the devs make it painfully slow to build avatar gauge.

Also accidentally cancelling his avatar! With all the visual vomit, it's hard to tell if he summons it or does a finisher sometimes, so I'll buffer Y, and augh! Unsummon! My swordshine stacks! Why didn't they make it hold Y to unsummon?

He's flashy and a bit technical and I love him anyway, so I'll still be playing him, but he definitely needs some QoL and balance adjustments. If nothing else, change how to unsummon the avatar auuuggghhh.

Also this game made it canon that his AU Absolutist/Nihilist version talks to him in his head, and that's so fucking amazing. I foresee eventual confrontation in the mobage, and it will be glorious.

(he also has a "Master of Smug" title lol)

Reblogging my old Siete art in honor of his release in Relink! (cause I'm too busy playing to do anything new lol)

That collab art really makes me want a SkyxSea forbidden love AU, where if they fuck one loses his wings and the other his scales and all their special powers and long lifespan, and instead have to live it up as some normal humans on the island they secretly rendezvous every century on. Which would be fine, but they both have an extreme sense of duty to their people and obligations, so they just have to settle for lewd handholding and heavy petting or whatever while trying not to acknowledge the big horny elephant in the room.

So I tried out Tokyo Debunker. tl;dr: LOL that's how much?

I'm not really into otome/joseimuke cause I don't dig the self-insert/dating/tropey cast of boy characters aspect, so I appreciate that this game allows you to set a name for the heroine that isn't your IGN. Allowed me to enjoy the story as its own thing. And the story is about the most positive thing I can say.

The game looks mediocre and out of date, even by my lenient standards, though it's fully voice acted with a star-studded cast (JP) and story beats are highlighted by manga-esque cut scenes to supplement the talking heads VN visuals. But the character art is crude and simple (probably to make the live2d easier), most of the designs uninspired, and the GUI a confusing mess.

It's basically TWST but with horror, and where I had bounced hard off TWST's story and cast, the world presented here is interesting and most of the characters are charming. ...Although some are gratuitous expies of characters from other franchises. The blond screaming kid is basically that blond screaming kid from KNY, and he even has the same voice actor lol (edit: nope the guy just sounds like shimono) I keep expecting him to break out with some amazing power when he's asleep, and it'll have some of the best art in the game lol. But ignoring the ...homages..., I really enjoyed TD's tale, and that's what's keeping me going. There's also some fujobait teasing between the various boys; I straight up lol'd at a card you can get in VIP that is of two of them having a cigarette kiss.

Battle system is just a chibi battler with some music stages (lol), but I appreciate you can skip battles straight from the get-go, which is probably why they didn't bother with the graphics. The game also has an idle clicker base (though without the clicking), which is where you do the majority of your leveling and mat grinding (ie: it's done passively). There's (not live) PVP, but it's like pvp in dressup games. Looks like there's a guild raid boss open during certain times of the day. Guild system itself is eh. There just really is no actual, engaging gameplay.

The monetization is fucking hilarious. I am not one who flinches at spending, but holy hell this game is disgustingly offensive in not only the bazillion ways they monetize, but the cost. They have numerous USD100+ packages, things costing thousands of the diamond currency for progress (locked behind their own gacha), and a mixed summon pool that is less than half characters, with a total 1% ssr rate to pull gear cards or character cards--with gear having higher individual pull rates (you will be more likely to pull gear than a character). Pity for a character is 500, no banner carry over. Absolutely bonkers in this day and age. The ways to spend also include a VIP, sub VIP, weekly and monthly passes, tiered purchases, timed purchases, repeat purchases, rebate purchases... just LOL. I've played f2p games for over a decade, and I've never seen such an egregious amount of microtransactions.

Absolute cash grab. The moment I can't progress in the story due to paywall is when I'll uninstall. Really too bad since I am enjoying the story, and I'd like to know more about the cast (I regret getting the one who visually appealed to me as my starter card cause this pure, earnestly dense kid is smashing me in the face with his moe).

Anywho. Try, but don't spend. If you already play TWST, this is TWST at home but with demons and ghosts. Its troubled development history really shows, and I'd be shocked if it lasts a year. Would make a fun, brainless anime or manga though.
