I was just scrolling through the posts in the original novel section, and suddenly I wanted to come to Amway (complain about) the "Maruko-sama" I've been playing recently. Speaking of which, this game is amazing. It's obviously a synthesis game, but it insists on making such exquisite vertical graphics. As soon as I saw it, I couldn't take my eyes away and fell straight into it. 😭
You know, I just can't resist painting style. When I opened the game and saw that ball, I was like - "Oh hoo", what a dreamy color scheme is this? The round texture, with a lovely soft halo from the inside out, reminded me of what QB would look like in "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" if it turned into a Q ball. ✨ Moreover, after being combined, each evolution ball has different costumes and expression details. Some are wearing small crowns, and some are wearing bows. It's so cute. 🎀 The voice actors and dubbing are also full of energy. Every time they are synthesized, they will "bengbengbeng~", which makes my ears feel pregnant. Who can resist this kind of healing sound effect? 🎧
Okay, now that we've finished praising, we're about to start swearing. ☕
This gameplay...really just puts two identical balls together to make a bigger ball. There is no plot line, no level design, no skill tree, no voice actor interactive plot, not even a card drawing system! Just...synthesize! Unlimited synthesis! Synthetic forever! Together until the end of the world, the seas and rocks will rot! I originally thought there would be an Easter egg like "triggering a small theater during synthesis", but after three days of waiting, there was nothing. No matter how beautiful the vertical painting is, it can't withstand such a gameplay and the filter will be broken. 💔 To be honest, this game is like a beautiful figure stuffed into the shell of a match-3 mini-game. If you say it's not fun, the vertical graphics are really top-notch. If you say it's fun, there's really nothing else but korfball. It's the kind of game that I want to turn off after five minutes of opening it, but can't help but reopen it every ten minutes because I miss the beauty of the ball. 😅
Alas, this kind of game is really contradictory. You said that the art and dubbing alone are definitely worth the price of admission (although it is free), but the gameplay can really only be described as "uh uh uh". I searched all its interfaces, but couldn't find any content related to character interaction. I couldn't even develop them, I could only watch them grow bigger and smaller. Isn't this equivalent to locking a cute and confident seiyuu in a cage so that she can only say "Hai hai"! ! I'm not convinced! ! ! 🤯
Now that I have come to the novel section to post, it means that I really want to talk about this phenomenon. When we play two-dimensional games, do we just want to be "good-looking"? Yes, we were tricked into it by the good-looking three-dimensional paintings, but if we want to play a pure synthetic toy, wouldn't it be better to just play a synthetic game? Why do you have to wear such a beautiful shell and such an empty gameplay? ? Manufacturers, please wake up! ! 😤 It feels like taking Saber from "Fate" to play hopscotch. As thrilling as the setting is, the actual operation makes you want to click on the upper right corner.
Finally, a piece of advice for those who want to try it - if you are not interested in the synthesis gameplay itself and just want to appreciate the beautiful little balls, you can just look at the screenshots and videos, really. Don't be like me, who "mistakes life at first sight". After downloading, I find that what I face every day is not my wife, but the ball rolling bigger and bigger on the screen. 😇
Okay, I have finished venting my anger. Next stop, I will probably be hurt by the pure AFK system of a game with beautiful graphics again... I hope that all games with beautiful graphics in the world can match the gameplay of its vertical graphics. May we meet in the comment area and reach a consensus. 🌟
