I always feel bad for Tencent games on Tap because 80% of the reviews are people asking how to access them. You never know how the game will turn out because these ratings are completely random and the people writing them only care about themselves.
The detail in this game rivals a lot of newer games, but with familiar characters and events that already have a decent following. The mechanics are pretty average, but auto play is selective. You progress a significant amount before it becomes available and then it is not always there for every mission. This is the difference between a game that doesn't subject you to redundant tasks and one that you don't truly play yourself.
Like any Tencent game, there are a lot of rewards along with a lot of extremely overpriced premium items. You can survive as a free user, but the paid items unlock the fan favorites. Despite every server appearing congested, the game is still smooth. It is exactly what you expect when Tencent puts their name on the package.
Bandai Namco has made quite a few of their own games for this series, but tends to favor simple mechanics and full automation over a good story. Stepping aside and allowing a company less focused on the profit margin was a good choice.
I have enjoyed this game so far and plan to keep playing it. As a fan of the series, it is nice to find a decent game about it. As someone that is not a fan of the company behind the series, it is even better to find a good game by someone else.
