First of all ill start with the combat , everything looks really very very good . You are able to notice the amount creativity and effort put into just the ui and how everything is presented to the player . This is one of my favourite part of the game it is just very good looking with it being cery stylised and a poppy colored aesthetic
The main cream of the cake is the combat .
Many people say that it is button mashy and in they are not wrong but the problem with their opinion is that they've only experienced the early game . In start you can just mash buttons and win but as you progress through the game you start to notice intricacies in the gameplay and if you're not being careful about when you dodge and when you attack then you're punished by the game for it . Hence making the complaints about the game irrelevant because those people have just not reached the endgame yet
Finally for the story and characters . Unlike other Hoyoverse games this game tends to fall under the more mature side as the characters sometimes make some questionable jokes which is a breath of fresh air considering the other Hoyoverse games being so childish And for the story part its still just in its normal' phase and its yet to dive into more serious or mature themes but this is just the start of the game and iam really confident that this game will not disappoint.
All in all a very fabulous foundation for a gacha game with newer updates it is only going to get more better and better while adding deeper mechanics and new content.

So after much hype and fanfare the game released, and it is probably the worst game I've seen from Mihoyo (Hoyoverse) yet. Even the now 10-year old Gun Girl Z (shut down now) looked and felt less cheap and generic than this.
Let's start with the not so bad, the combat is ok-ish, it's not truly bad but doesn't feel great either. The Characters are well-developed, and and the story is well written. But that is pretty much where the good ends unless you want to nitpick at little scenes like when General Chop cooks a meal , the cut scene is truly enjoyable. And the Bangboos are cute.
But that is where any enjoyment ends, the gameplay-style is a mix of visual novel and small area limited combat. To me it does not feel good, but that might be personal preference.
The UI is terrible, it looks like Game boy Color rejected it in the 90s but someone very stubborn really wanted to re-use it. Everything looks overcoloured , overly "pop-art" and overall like 15 different Graffiti fought for dominance in menus , character screens, and pretty much everywhere. Its just not nice to look at. Why we have tiny writing in some menus , giant "mobile" optimized selection prompts in the middle of the screen overlaying everything in other scenes, i don't understand the choices , nothing feels like it has a coherent theme and it doesn't make sense.
Everything in the game felt the way you imagine a cheap generic mobile gatcha would feel like if all clichés were true. I have no idea what went wrong with Mihoyo and this game , Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail and even Honkai Impact 3rd all manage to not feel like generic cheap rushed mobile shovelware, this game fails to feel like anything but that.
While it is of course a live service game that will receive updates, i don't see how the fundamental feeling of "cheap mobile garbage" can at any point be overcome by this game. I uninstalled it and i don't intend to give it another try.
