The new Android update isn't allowing me to boot up the game. This is the second time the update had prevented the app from opening within the span of a year. I highly suggest everyone not to uninstall the App if you are a faithful player, unless you have your transfer code saved. Edit: Fixed, but this is the 2nd time it had happened. It also took about 2 weeks to have it fixed. Edit: I've played this game since debut. After trying out dozens of other gachas, it's the only one I'll keep as main.
So I'm gonna say this, the story's good, the arts different for many servants it's good but there's a bad problem they never fix or plan too. The one time transfer code, you could copy/paste it, but somehow the game still messes it up. I been playing for 2.5 years and I appreciate the customer service being quick truly I am! I just wish the transfer system wasn't what it is, wish we could link it to ANYTHING else like google play to help save data. That's why I hate using it, it's risky a lot
Now that the ending to the first part of the game is up, I thought it appropriate to finally review the game. Fate/Grand Order is an epic title. boasting one of if not the strongest narrative in mobile gaming. You wouldn't know that starting out though. as it takes a while to actually really going. However, it does have its stellar game play to carry it through first. It's strategic, flexible and most importantly fun. its only downside are the drop rates for 4 and 5* servants.
This game is fun for any fate fan. But beware because it has the potential to be a money sink. My only real gripe is the gatcha rates but it can be mitigated as well as the fact that you don't necessarily need 5 stars to clear difficult content but they do make it easier. It has been the only gatcha that I have played consistently for 2 years. It is also loads more fun with friend so you can compare with. Also multiple play styles to choose from in buster, arts, quick.
Great game, I've managed to play through the main story and get a handful of rare servants completely F2P. You don't have to spend money to progress, only if you REALLY want a particular servant. That said, there are a few areas for improvement. Grinding materials is a massive pain and there's no auto-play feature. When you do decide to try the gacha, the odds of getting specifically what you want are quite low. The story is amazing though, that's easily the best quality of this game.
The game is very entertaining. But the system they employ for gaining new characters and craft essences (character equipment) is an abysmal let down. By no means are you even likely to get anything new let alone the character you want. I've played the game for years and put a reasonable amount of money into the game as well. So whilst the gameplay and content they do give you is very nice and certainly entertaining. I wouldn't expect to play with many or any of the characters you like.
I highly agree with the 3* rating. The game's story is very interesting and unique. The summons are brutal unless you pay for saints quarts. As a free to play player, I have some 4* and a few 5* servants. This game would do well to get rid of the craft essences in the summon pool as I've had countless times gotten 4 and 5* essences that very well could have been servants. I highly dislike this aspect of the game, especially since gaining enough to do a 10 times summon is hard enough as is.
Surprisingly fun and has kept my attention for half a year now. They put out new, well done events often enough to not get bored, but not enough to burn you out. Story is pretty good. Maintenance is short and rewards are generous afterwards. The premium currency is too expensive, but there are plenty of ways to get it in game. Plus they aren't constantly ramming "buy our currency" down your throat. It always feels like the developers care a lot about their players. Highly recommend.
I have been playing this game ever since it was released in America and love the franchise. The game had rarely had issues and minimal crashes when starting to play, but that changed with the recent updates. The game has frozen or crashed more times than I can count, and during an event no less, which is making it nearly unplayable. All of my friends also play this game and have seen the same issues too. On top of this, draw rates are still incredibly low compared to other gacha games I play...
It may be known as the hellscape of gatcha for a reason but it's unbelievably addictive, especially if you love the Fate franchise. I've invested more (time and money) than I'd care to admit. The story is fantastic, animation is nice and the character designs are beautiful and well thought out. Gameplay is simply turn-based but is somehow still engaging. I've been playing for years and have yet to experience any technical issues. Like everyone else, I do wish there was an email bind though.
I love this game. Fate fan or otherwise. The story, the OSTs, and the gameplay are amazing. Some of the music sends chills up my spine from time to time. The gameplay is pretty tedious, but I wouldn't recommend playing this game 24/7/365 otherwise you'll get burned out. I'd recommend to at least play until the natural AP bar is gone. This gacha game is one of my favorites, but some times I feel like they should space the events out with a one week break so it doesn't feel like a barrage.
It's a pretty fun game with some great story and fun characters, but definitely needs a lot of time and dedication to progress. If you don't mind item farming and grinding, definitely worth looking into. They've got great support and help desks, just make sure to write down your game information just in case. I just wish the friends list wasn't limited to whichever language you play in.
So much more than I ever expected of a phone game. It's the top grossing phone game for good reason. The outstanding storytelling is really what makes you question, "this is a free phone game?!" On that note, it is possible to play the entire game for free. There aren't even any ads. The gacha can be frustrating as any, but there are a lot of excellent lower ranking pulls that many still rely on in spite of having top ranked servants. Overall not without its flaws, but I'd recommend it any day.
Fgo might be older in terms of other gacha games, but the lore and love put into the game through it's story and characters is breathtaking. All the characters stand out one way or another, even mash a servant that you get free has a ton of love put into her. Make no mistake though fgo can be brutal in terms of the rates, I've seen stories you can either get a unit you want in one multi, or 1000 saint quartz later and no SSR. Just be warned if you get into this game you'll get addicted!
Visual novel with a mandatory card game in the middle, but you have to pay to actually have the characters. The story is really good, but I found the gameplay to be sooooo boring. Also, this is one of the worst gacha rate games I've played. People save for a character for over a year, and still dont get them. Also, they finally added pity, but its so high it's like $1200 or something to reach it. Scam gacha, gameplay is about as interesting as stale whole grain bread. Just watch the show.
Honestly a solid game. Visuals and gameplay are considerably simple, but it leads to an addicting experience. Gacha is a love/hate relationship; low rarity units and free event units, along with friends units, are enough to get you through the main story and probably post-game, but for those that want unique or powerful characters, the gacha is your worst nightmare. My main complaint for this game is general lack of end game content; beyond events and slow story additions, there's nothing to do
I've played F/GO for the past 2 years, and it's been one of my main games for a long time. The story is extremely engaging and I always find myself loving the characters as I learn more about them. The battle system is fairly simple, and as a fan of turn based combat in RPGs I've always gotten at least some enjoyment out of it. On the negative side, the game more or less requires extensive grinding to clear event shops and get materials which some may dislike, as well as the low gacha rates.
There's a lot to dislike about FGO, the gacha rates are cartoonishly bad, the game is stingier than any other mobile game I've ever played, and loading and battle can be incredibly slow at times. I still feel like I can endorse it despite all of that though, because the story and characters are so charming and pleasant that there's plenty to do and see even if you can never even get close to any of the rare characters you might want.
This game is all right overall, but a giant mixed bag. Game is simple, but is painfully slow to raise units due to massive grinding and materials required. Plus, there's no auto run feature or enough farming areas to compensate for it. Don't expect to beat Arc 1 in 8 months. Don't bother with the 1% gacha rate. For positives, the music is phenomenal, and the story, save for ch 2 & 3, can be really engaging and fun, like a visual nice. It's a fine game. Just a bit niche for me.
Gameplay is fine and the gacha rates are depressing, no pity and abysmal chances. But the free to play characters you can get are good enough to the point that getting 5 stars are more of a luxury rather than a necessity, still they of course make getting through the game much easier and friends are easy to get. The playerbase is pretty nice so you can friend people with many good and built 5 stars are easy. If you blow money and still don't get the character you want, you shouldn't be surprised. The story and lore is what is the main highlight of the game. To play this game is to sell your soul.
