Arknights

It’s been a few months and we have yet to receive any updates on whether or not you will bring back Ai Kayano. She’s a top tier celebrity voice actor, and your reasoning to fire her was absurd. Bending the knee to china sickens to me to my core, nothing but senseless censorship. You all ask for feedback from other 1 star reviews but avoid responding to community feedback regarding Ai Kayano. You want to ban her on the chinese server? Go for it, I’d understand but on EN there is NO reason to do so. It’s ridiculous how far censorship has gone that a top tier voice actor gets cancelled over saying the air smells clean at a shrine. Bring her back, all those videos of the voice actors saying hello to the community was great but we all know Ai Kayano was missing. I won’t stand for chinese politics in a game that is meant to distract me irl. WE ALL WANT AND MISS AI KAYANO, BRING HER BACK!!!!!!! EN SERVERS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR china SERVER, BRING HER BACK!

I love this game so much but the game sometimes lags and ruins the whole experience. Plz fix this issue. Thank the developers for this amazing game

cn launch player 🥰

It’s plausible to only clear all content with low rarity and friend support units.

from beautiful lore and character design, i enjoy that i’m a dedicated player of arknights. i look forward to the well thought out events and strategies for new stages! the music this game puts out is even more impressive - this game really brings me a lot of happiness!

Why is a music company making games?

Incredible character designs. Free units can clear almost all content in the game and there’s a lot of opportunity to get 5 and 6 stars that will help clear the remaining tough parts

Just that

I recommend remaining f2p or limited pay. There is little in the ways of customer service if you encounter an in game problem. Every single issue I raised was met with “We’re sorry, but our policy doesn’t allow us to help/we will use this information to make a better game(generic, never did)/“ etc. There is nothing they appear to be able to do about anything. If I’m investing heavily in a game, I want security that I can be assisted when I need to be regardless of the great gameplay etc. Here, I felt no support as a customer since they’re just bringing over elements from the CN version and not actually ever helping or listening because they can’t actually change anything. There are things you can buy outright like cosmetics if you care about things like that at least. I do have my issues with the game itself too. The lore and writing is a complete drag, bogged down with poor pacing, stunted/unbelievable interaction, and questionable word choice. If English isn’t your first language, good luck. I find myself skipping often outside of events and I typically love lore. The art is fantastic but inconsistent as it’s done by multiple artists with vastly different styles. Some are very anime and cutesy, and others are militaristic and/or more serious and stylized. Many of the men are of a similar style of tall & beautiful including one coming on the way that looks near identical to one already out. On the plus side of design, different artists and areas means there’s mostly something for everyone. Gameplay is laughably difficult for the average player with mechanic information left out such as enemy weight so it narrows down the scope of who can enjoy this as materials are too limited to level/grind your way out of it by the time events are over unless you use guides. Also they, for some reason, limited practices to just 30 times a day and half sanity is taken for each challenge mode attempted. It punishes trying in a sense adding to frustration, but a way around this is to check challenge limits and impose them on yourself in practice. On the plus side they do require varied tactics and possibly use of new OPs or using them in unexpected and rewarding ways. The art for these events is also excellent. Unfortunately to add on to that grind if you go that route, it demands you actually let your phone sit and play through the stage. This game rewards you for your time invested in it, but that requires you to seriously have that time. It also requires significant gameplay skill and ingenuity. This game is not very welcoming or accessible to the casual(less time) or average(low TD experience) player. It needs significant boosts in items given out, IMO, and/or sanity. This is not a world where people can realistically give this game the amount of time it needs and the less time spent with it, the less they’ll feel compelled to spend on it if they do. People that take a break and return will likely be overwhelmed as there’s no refreshers/tips about easily forgotten aspects like DP return when removing units. The load screens are a good place for that if you ever add it but you can also replay the first few stages to relearn I believe. I don’t know that they will, though. As a final thought, I think the sanity required for supplies stages is absurdly high. It doesn’t have to be super low but ~30 sanity for like 3 level 3 skill books is just silly. I’m not a believer that everything on earth should be “easy” but I do know an awful lot of people that quit once this game “got too hard” and never looked back. The hardcore and whalers would say good riddance, but I’d say that’s poor game design and player engagement. The frustration is winning over the fun they’re having and it doesn’t feel rewarding. Yes some power through this and see that as the reward but many know they can easily find something more fun to do instead. You can’t even talk to people in game to exchange info, tips, talk about how hot a char is, or vent frustration or anything! There is reward in casuals being able to enjoy your game, too, and work is needed at least to assist them IMO. SOMEthing. I’m no game designer. Just letting you know. Too many aspects just aren’t accessible to newbies/normal people and many are ultimately driven away. But maybe those select few spending tons are all you need or care about. Whatever the case, that’s all I had to say. Great game.
