The gacha system used for scouts is, politely put, atrocious and the game's insistence on making many aspects of said gacha exclusive to in-game purchases really just rubs salt into the wound. The only reason this can be considered remotely bearable is due to being able to use a wide range of characters from the BSD cast in the game as well as a somewhat fun slingshot-type gameplay. The most enjoyable characters to use are obviously the SSRs, which all have fun little animations that get better the more recent the cards are, some even featuring voice lines. It adds a certain charm to the game any BSD fan is likely to appreciate and enjoy. Another thing I find Bungo Mayoi to handle more competently than other gacha games in the market is materials, it's surprisingly easy to grind for most materials in this game, assuming you have enough AP and space in the game to do so.

Can you look at the artwork of your favorite characters without playing this game? Absolutely. Is the main story just a cheap retelling of the anime? Can't deny that. Sometimes it also just feels pretty slow and like it could benefit from an upgraded UI, it sure would be nice to not get loading screens just from switching menus and being urged so frequently to spend real money with no way of turning it off.

Basically, don't get this game unless there's an empty space in your heart that needs to be filled with more BSD content. It's a silly little way of killing time with gameplay that requires more than mindlessly typing away, but if you care about a semi-reasonable gacha experience maybe this isn't for you.
