Absolute Banger, worth every penny

My childhood is complete and my gamer-heart satisfied.

Worth the Wait. And mind you, I waited 11.5 years for this.

Great Story, Great Love for Details, Very immersive, insanely close to their community, lovable designs, good amount of time investment choices - can go forever, can also finish <10h. I could go on for ever, just buy it, play it, agree with me.

Very fun!

It's like a single player TFT with a little less battle-complexity due to lower max units on board but as trade offer you get a lot of out-of-battle-complexity and narrative. As an experienced Autochess and Autobattler player I had no troubles clearing basically every single run so far (8 or 9 I think? Each with increasing difficulty) but it didn't feel boring. It was fun and exciting to see what different traits would look like.
Big YES from my side is the possibility to disable pool-enlargening roguelike elemental upgrades (unlocking new units, items etc.) so that you can truly choose on what basis you want to play.
Recently a "PVP" mode was added, it's basically Super Auto Pets or Backpack Battles in that you still build your board at your pace and win by winning 10 fights before you lost 4 in total. What makes this fun for me is the raw amount of Banners (TFT Equivalent is Emblems) you can get to try and sandbox fun comps.

Can really recommend! Maybe not the game of your lifetime but surely a great way to pass time and peacefully enjoy some AutoChess :)

Despite never fully releasing the last 2 Demigods, it's a classic and fun little MOBA-pioneer.
It's carried heavily by nostalgia, alright, balance might not be the main focus, but its fun and has some interesting and unique mechanics. It doesn't get boring fast if you actually enjoy the genre and lore - if you are bored by single player games then this is not for you.

Glad I found this :)

It all started as a joke...
Had an absolute blast playing this gem with some friends in Discord. Everyone chose a girl and was responsible for their conversations, we rolled dice on which girl we choose when there are multiple options on who to spend time with. 3 well invested hours, gonna be back tomorrow to unlock the other endings with the gang

Some points to note as a "real" review:
- English translations become a little worse towards the later scenes
- Seung-yi Jo needs to be removed, make it Four Hearts under one roof (I'm kidding, I'm just a hater)
- The acting is hardly immersive but the game itself did not fail to capture my interest in the different developments after I kissed a guy called "sausage man" in the demo and he started his gay-era
- Worth the price if you are into the genre, I wasn't but experiencing it together with friends while joking about it was honestly refreshing
- Some mini-events requiring you to choose within 5s or getting background information on your situation first keep you clicking and using your brain from time to time so it doesn't get boring
- You unlock behind the scenes interviews and videos through gameplay and we were very interested in what the real people behind the characters we connected with felt and thought
- The girls fill 5 stereotypes but if you even remotely like a "certain type" you'll be served well

Hint:
Food is always good rizz

Gameplay is very fun. Core mechanics, such as the loot system, character design and the fighting in this game are gorgeous.

This puts the game at a massive 90/100 for me. Here are the point deductions IN THE CURRENT STATE:
it is to be noted, that this game gets almost 0 resources from Bandai, which is sad but not to blame on the devs.

-5 Bugs (can't revive teammates if their revive card despawns, uraraka alpha ability doesnt work correctly, game crashes if you are in the emote menu at game start etc.)
-5 gacha system to unlock a select few chars; i dont care if its just cosmetics but locking chars behind gacha is unnecessary
-5 Agency system, Agencies are the guilds in this game and they are absolutely useless except for some passive resource multiplicators; competition is not encouraged, there is no efficient way to interact with your agency members etc.
-5 Game balance -> There are some characters that are objectively stronger than others. It isn't rare to see Rank 1 to 10 on the leaderboard all maining Bakugo; All Might has a ridiculous winrate and there are a bunch more that have unpolished edge cases that happen way too often (plus ultra Kirishima bursts 500+HP in 1s, Tsuyu solo wins games etc.); Disclaimer: It is not unplayable, just frustrating at times
-5 ranking system encourages people in high ranks to disconnect before they get executed after being downed (you only get credit for an execute, not for downing someone) so others don't get points for it
-5 cheater problem. I personally have only seen 3 cheaters but I can see the ranking ladder infected with them and hear about them a lot from friends.

Final result: 60/100 with potential to become a 90/100 since all of the aforementioned issues are fixable.
Arguably 85/100 since the gacha unlock will never be removed.

PS: Please play this game, don't give up on it. I haven't watched MHA and I also don't need to, to enjoy this game. It is apparently not lore-accurate but the char designs resemble their quirks in the anime.

Very fun game when played with friends!
The solo player mode is pretty long-winded since you have the work of 3 people and it also doesn't feel that engaginig.

When you are in co-op however the aspect of coordination and theorycrafting/exploring deck-possibilities and your team-responsibilities becomes true adventure with few wrong paths but not all are fit for endless success.

The roguelike aspect of increasing debuffs is also implemented well to a point where I don't feel any frustrations about it - only challenged.

A little tip at the end:
Don't be surprised when a few playstyles don't work in your first few runs even when it feels like they should - many endgame cards are unlocked when increasing your rank with a class and without these cards some playstyles are incomplete!

Monke throw darts at bloons.
Bloons go pop.
Banger soundtracks.
Play is fun.

BALDURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

what can i say
