The story in this game offers unique and interesting story with lots of variety. The world view introduces concepts like aeons and paths which are the focus of the whole story. These concepts diverge into even wider fields each with their own ideologies and stories. Which is part of the reason why the lore is so deep and captivating. Apart from the main story, side quests are also given a lot of attention and are the hidden gems of this game. To name a few like the penacony hotel front desk quest and the polka sim universe story.
With the introduction of Amphoreus in 3.0 there is bound to be story that tops all the arcs from before, and I am so hype for it. It is 8 patches of story after all, way longer than the penacony arc.
The humorous aspects of this game are also worthy of mention. From the extra context on their social media channels, the character interactions and the memes they incorporate into the game. The devs do keep up with the internet culture and are willing to listen to players to improve the game. Making the daily experience stress free and smooth. The game's GUI and QoL have improved a lot from release. But there still exists some things they are reluctant to add like relic presets. Oh yeah and also the rewards of this game are also nice always giving free pulls each patch and sometimes even more at special times. And also the devs really know how to hype the players up with the new 500k jades lottery event. Prayge 🙏
About the gameplay The game offers various styles of gameplay with the introduction of modes including Sim universe & its expansions, apocalyptic shadow, memory of chaos... These modes are all unique and have the potential to multiply the strength of a maybe forgotten character and also the fun you have while playing them. Especially in sim and divergent universe where the buffs and equations allow for brand new playstyles not available elsewhere. It is just really satisfying to see big numbers to be honest.
With the arrival of new characters and with them new playstyles there is always something new to discover within them. Looking forwards to the summoning meta in 3.0.
About power creep in the game, it is a inevitable process and the way they make money by selling new characters. It is a common occurrence that after the first banner of a character they aren't good/ can't keep up with the meta anymore. For example jingliu in 1.4 after the 2.0 patch released they quickly fell off along with the disappearance of the ice weaknesses in many content. Characters like Acheron were released who could deal way more damage while have better mechanics. This isn't like in some other Sacha games where a character is always valuable for their unique mechanics that cannot be replaced or the power creep is just much slower. It is a trend in which turn based games have faster power creep and there isn't much that could be done it is more or less necessary.
Perhaps the 10/10 is exaggerating it a bit but I do think the game deserves a higher score than what it has right now.
