not a fan of the character models / art style but im a little intrigued. the similarities to CT are definitely strong ("a journey through past, present and future", humanoid frog character). the music sounds cool. not sure what the in-app purchases are about tho

Is it a gacha?

i hate mobile gaming, but my PC is out of commission until a replacement mobo i ordered gets here from China anytime between next week and next month, and i've been looking for something to play until then, so i suppose i might as well check this out, since Chrono Trigger is probably my favorite game of all time.

i generally dislike mobile gaming mostly because touch screen controls are wack, especially if it's using one of those virtual / on-screen d-pads or joysticks. i hate not being able to feel the buttons.

i recently bought Chrono Trigger for Android b/c it's on sale for $5 and it has this new thing (new to me) where the it has a virtual joystick but the position isn't fixed -- it shows up wherever you put your thumb. that's sorta OK but i still find myself 'slipping' off it b/c i can't tell where it actually is.

that said, gamepad support is a thing and if a game supports a controller/gamepad i dont mind playing it on mobile much at all.

yes, it is a "gacha" game but

Now for the elephant in the room: microtransactions. Im happy to report that Another Eden is the least aggressively monetized free mobile game Ive played in a long time. Maybe ever. The truth is that Another Eden is a JRPG with gacha elements, rather than a true gacha game.

If youre not familiar with gacha games, their main feature is that they require random summons (like loot boxes) to unlock new characters. Typically the chances of getting a rare character are extremely low (2-5%), and this is the case with Another Eden as well.

But in reality it doesnt matter for Another Eden. You get free characters when starting the game, and unlock story characters as you advance. At no point are paid characters required to beat a boss or move forward in the game.

Yes but unlike other gachas it's basically a single player game so there's no real need to buy any of them.

It's a Gacha but the persona collab characters can carry you and you can also grind for alt forms and other freebies who are viable

I played it for a good while but spent all my currency on this one hyped unit's banner, didn't get her so I quit. It was the final straw but I had actually been getting bored of it for a while but it was certainly a fun game for a good amount of time.
