Well, I didn't play (was planed, but I stick further in the PotK world though...) the game yet, but I heard from the community a lot positive credits about the game (gameplay, story, etc.) - I'll sure sometime with the game start if the time (and urge) allowes.


So I think, it could be decent adapation. I looking forward then...

Yes, yes... looks like a piece of digital litter. At least according to the trailer. Nothing out of the ordinary, alas.

What about this synopsis indicates that it's another isekai anime?
No I'm not an isekai fan before you ask

Ohh I'm excited, though it's been a while since I played. I just worry it'll be a shallow adaptation...

Blindness to sarcasm is your path I see.

It looks generic asf. The studio is looking to be mediocre. This project is secondary for them from the visuals alone. With anime's getting delayed, this one looks questionable.

Wym p2w lmao, all you need to do is follow the events, this game is by far the most friendly f2p gacha games out there, not to mention it doesnt rly have a lot of RNGs, and all heroes can easily be obtained for free, free of rng too.

Keep in mind that this was two years ago that I quit, so this information may be outdated, but here's my take:

The heroes aren't gacha, but the weapons/treasures are, and they're often needed to make a hero actually function because they're an extension of the hero's kit. Roi for instance has an S3 that instantly recharges after consuming all stacks of bleed on a target, and it's his DPS skill, so him being able to inflict bleed seems integral right? His S1 inflicts bleed, but that's slow, his auto-attacks need to inflict bleed so he can quickly spam S3. His UW is what gives him that auto-attack bleed, otherwise he won't be able to do so. It gives not only more stats than regular weapons, but is an integral part of his kit that significantly increases his DPS. That's why they're the gacha. The heroes are often the shell, they need the UW/UT to actually function. And if they don't have an integral UW, their UTs are usually what greatly increase their potential.

Progress is staggered out but accelerated heavily if you pay up, and PvP/Damage Leaderboards necessitate that, thereby making playing competitively heavily P2W. You can eventually work your way up, very slowly, with F2P resources, but it'll take an exorbitantly large amount of time. You are honestly better off playing some other gacha, because this game is 90% auto/farming macros daily to slowly chip your way towards having one hero that can compete with whales. Last time I played Chapter 8 (the fire level I think?) was the last chapter added, so I don't know how difficulty has scaled since then, but PvE was doable with the heroes I had. I didn't need UW/UTs at 5* merged to make my way through the hardest difficulty at the time. The difficulty did spike there though, so I imagine that after that is getting into P2W territory.

Like, hell. I play FGO for crying out loud. One of the most notoriously greedy gachas out there, and there I can at least grind up and "complete" servants in a reasonable amount of time. In King's Raid, the grind for one unit is endless, while in FGO I have a whole library of completed servants.

I've played since the start of the game's release, on and off, and yes, long time ago those chapters battles are insanely hard, but right now it isnt hard at all, i finished all 9 chapters in under 24 hours (with the help of my alt account, but even if i didnt use my alt, prolly finished it in about 2-3days) my point is, it's not p2w as they have a lot of events here and there which u can get all those UT and UW for free, also only DPS heroes are usually UW/UT reliant, and not all of the DPS heroes needs it at a very high star level anyway.

at the grand scheme of things KR is not p2w (depends on what p2w means to u) because you can easily finish all the story and other contents, but if you want to get like top 1 in arena, world boss, ur gonna compete with whales ofc.

Do you guys think Dreamcatcher or any kpop groups will be able to sing the OP/ED? Really love Deja Vu.... but I doubt they'd use it again since there's a new musical director?
