This is about as good as it gets for gacha games, but these sorts of games probably max out at around three stars in my estimation.

Re;UniverSe is generous with premium currency and has an ingenious progression system that treats different versions like 'skins' with different abilities and stats bonuses modifying the same base character parameters that can be grown using any version of the character.

But you hardly need to worry about pulling the best units. The game allows for a great deal of flexibility even in tackling the most difficult content. Power creep is a given, but Re;UniverSe is rewarding even if you choose not to spend a penny on it.

This might go without saying, but this isn't exactly a game for those who are not fans of the SaGa franchise, but those who like a pixel aesthetic might find themselves checking out the mainline series games because of this mobage rather than the other way around.

The biggest drawback of the game is, despite being grind-heavy, it doesn't offer any auto-repeat functionality nor is it on the roadmaps. But Bluestacks users might find a clever way to turn Re;UniverSe into something of an idle game, how it was meant to be played.
