You know what? I'm sad. As a lot of people, I play it for the collaboration with Chainsaw man and that infamous ad. So I tough "Haha funny horny game, let's see what's the fuss about" and in the process I discovered that has more to offer than that.

A combat system very complex and fun, a narrative that surprised me at moments (even if I think that only half of the team is really trying and the other is just horny) and a support system which in the few I had read shows not only great characters, but also a great world-building, but in the end of the day is a gacha, and a VERY predatory one.

The great combat ended relegated to auto, because, or you play as expected or is impossible to win (Check the stage penalty for instance). The narrative, that outside of the traditional gacha never ending cycle of conflicts, is block behind a level system that started fair, but quickly escalated to absurd levels that make it really slow to progress as a F2P player. Even the support system has it catch with the tickets. The only thing I could praise without problem is the music, which, to be fair, has some fantastic songs. That's why I'm sad, here lays a lot of potential, but wasted under layers of micropayment bullshit. At lest, makes me curious for that Shift Up can offer, let's see how Stellar Blade turns out...
