Bright white intro screen in 2021. Speaking of loading screens, there are far too many of them. Now to be fair, they only take a second or two, but every single time adds up. There are also brief pauses in the menus so that characters on screen can play their animations--absolutely unnecessary. Playing a movie on the title screen was nice the first couple times. It's old and wastes battery. Give us options to disable all of these, please.

The art and animation are really good. I've enjoyed playing the game. I have some concerns with the price of the quartz in the game, though. I feel it is too expensive for character draws as per the $ to quartz ratio. I've also been experiencing quite a few problems getting the game to load passed the title screen. There will be audio and the tap effects with the konosuba "letters" but nothing else. I let it sit to try and load for 20 minutes to no avail.

Overall, enjoyable. Idle clicker. Dialog gets SUPER repetitive (Luna when you are switching between the free quests). If you play for a certain amount of time, regardless of device. Regardless of playing it on a PC! It will throttle you as if to say you've been playing too long and reduces the frames to a crawl. The only way to get around is to close completely and reopen. Some devices do not handle this well, so you may need to take more time to close the game. May needto Emergency shutoff cell

Overall I like this game. Good story, ok gameplay. However, I do have one big issue and that's the low supply of skip tickets, and lack of a auto-repeat function. You blow through skip tickets insanely fast and it takes WAY too long to manually redo a stage over and over to get rid of your stamina. The time investment just seems too much, and I just chose not to play sometimes. Add a auto-repeat function and/or make skip tickets way more abundant.

The recent update is great, it seems to run much smoother. I appreciate the ability to see skill upgrade stats side-by-side now, but I've leveled a skill up three times with no visible increase in damage of decrease in cooldown. Why? I'd also really appreciate the option to pause all timers while selecting a move and target. The AI never skips a beat, but it is literally impossible for a human to do the same, making it unfair toward players. I find myself using auto mode more than I'd like.

The game is a fairly standard gacha game. The main draw is the story content, which includes a condensed radio drama of the anime's first 2 seasons. In order to access the story chapters, you have to clear quests and increase the "affinity" levels of the characters you collect. You can craft equipment, you can level up skills, you can raise level caps, but only after collecting assorted junk that are really the luck of the draw; the best way to collect this stuff is to use the "skip tickets" to speed clear quests that are maxed out. Being a freemium gacha game, the game will push you to draw for flashy looking or seemingly powerful characters, often via currency that can only be bought. I'm not a huge fan of this type of thing (despite paying a little into it), because the odds of drawing what you want from an event is minuscule, and chasing the most powerful thing is exactly the sort of thing that drains bank accounts. The difficulty curve, or more precisely, the enemy power creep, ramps up fairly quickly, so you'll just barely finish the season 1 story and maybe scratch season 2, as well as a fair bit of the game-specific story content; your team will wipe the floor with an enemy that's half the strength rating, as a rule of thumb. Events are... OK. Even with some 4 star characters, it's tough trying to clear the normal difficulty tier. There's not much info on how to collect some crafting ingredients, what situations are good for certain characters (other than element color, which doesn't seem to do anything useful), but that's par for the course with freemium games. I personally think that a couple other games out there do a better job of encouraging people to just have fun playing, but the stories are the usual hilarious quality voiced by the Japanese cast, and I can set the text language to Japanese, so I'll give 4 stars for that.
