During my time as a time-poor and money-poor student, I played a fair amount of gachas on my crap phone, mainly this and Girls’ Frontline.

It deserves recognition that its F2P friendly (something many gachas cannot be described as!), and that the tower defence gameplay is interesting even though I’m not the biggest fan, plus some issues in execution/difficulty balancing (for a casual gacha, it can veer wildly in difficulty) - and there’s only so much experimenting you can do in one session with the inbuilt energy/stamina mechanic common in many gachas.

Everything else ranges from the good (the Art, unsurprisingly) to the meh/whatever (e.g. the Story and Soundtrack), which in gacha terms, makes this one of the ‘best’ in the genre.
