My mind has some sort of emergency measure it activates against predatory mobile games, which I like. I might be very into a game like this, Dragon Ball Legends or Kingdom Hearts Dark Road for a month or two, but then, without much thought, I will drop it almost completely. My mind just does it. It knows this isn't a good use of time. It knows these games don't give enough to me to get my time. I don't even do the daily log-ins, that's how much I disconnect.

Will I get back to this game? Probably, to play more of the story. I reached a plateau where it was hard to continue it without investing a bunch of time. I assume they'll make it easier to improve your dudes (I always call gacha characters "dudes" or "guys") at some point. Then I'll come back because the story was somewhat interesting, the main story moreso than the little stories you go through, which is really most of the content. Some of those are good but they're filled with the same sort of pretension that has always categorized the written prose in Nier games (of course with weapon stories it doesn't matter much because those are so short; these are longer and fully voiced).

The game has good music, well-designed characters, and the battle system while still essentially idle was somewhat engaging. But the weight of all the things I had to constantly keep leveling up and keeping track of, event after event after event, it annoyed my brain and it said "buddy, I'm pulling the plug." And it did, before I really planned to pull it myself.
