i started playing this game purely 'cause of a friend who's so unbelievably into it that i couldn't help but want to play the game. i think it's pretty fun, short matches that you can fit within the dead hours of your day. the 2v8 mode is more chaotic and it quickly became my go-to mode. some of the hunters' designs and their skins genuinely had me in awe. i think soul weaver's my favorite hunter so far.

crossover skins are quite cool too i can't wait for more CLAMP skins to come, although it's practically impossible to get those without being blessed by the god of luck or whaling a lot of money. very predatory gacha system they got here, no wonder they can afford those collabs.
BTW THEY GOT JEFF COSTELLO FROM LE SAMOURAI AS A SKIN HERE??? ALSO PHYLLIS FROM DOUBLE INDEMNITY?? DOROTHY??? APARRENTLY THEY GOT A LOT OF FILM CROSSVERS IDK HOW BUT SO COOL

i've heard multiple accounts of how unbalanced DBD is, and even though i've never played that game, i still think IDV is much more playable than DBD.

it's pretty popular here in Asia, and i gotta tell you, the players here are hella annoying. they're either e-daters or 13y/o who spams sigma rizz ohio on the chat. i can take the latter and sometimes chuckle if caught off guard but the former, god i hate them to death.

tl;dr it's an enjoyable game by itself, plus Jeff Costello. just maybe not the gacha part and those fucking e-daters !!!
