Azur Lane

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

If it weren't for the large number of b00bs and lolis I would give it an 11

I Play This For 3 Years And It Looks Good Than Ever Before 10/10.

Its one of the most F2P friendly gachas ever made with an expansive roster of about 1000 characters to collect. Though most of them are locked behind limited time FOMO events that only come around again after two years. Its an unintuitive idle battler that Manjuu only offers half assed band aid fixes for while neglecting and rightly referred to as a "side game" by most players.

The gameplay is stale, repetitive and not even rewarding, usually most people just use auto and do something else, might as well do something else entirely. (If you enjoy AFK games then this is something you might enjoy.)

tldr - the game is like an anime-style hotel with no staff by the front desk. The game itself is okay. It's a simple side scrolling bullet hail game with a bit of action - reminiscence of the retired R-Type games we had in the past. In place of starships, we have cute anime girls personified as World War 2 ships. The notable enemies in this game are ships that you can collect yourself as you play through the game. Just like the CN and JP release, this game is generous on gacha. As a free-to-play player, you could get most of the ships in the game without spending any real money. If you do plan on spending real money; however, be warned. Yostar Limited has no real customer support in the States - as mentioned below with my score. Score 3/10. The game and gameplay are not the reason for this low review score; it is the complete lack of customer service and correspondence. I sent a request (a rather dire one, I might add, considering it concerns the fate of my account after a botched linking via Facebook) to the email address provided on their app page on Fri, Aug 31, early afternoon. Since then, I have not heard anything back from their support team - not even an automated message. A day after, another message was sent to their [****] email address that I'd found on the English wiki. No response from there, either. It's been a week, and all I've gotten from their customer service team (of which I am beginning to question even exists) is complete silence. Since then, others in my gacha group have done the same. They have reported no response, either. I can understand if there was a delay because of the weekend/holiday, but there needs to be at least some level of correspondence to know that, at the very least, our messages have been received. Ideally, I would like an explanation for what occurred and what can be done from there (such as the restoration of my account), or some assurance that the issue has been or is being looked into. Silence does nothing to instill confidence in a customer. While Azur Lane is just a game, it is technically a service as well. If a customer no longer has access to their account due to an error caused by Yostar Limited's localization team, then they ought to fix it and ensure that they are giving their customers the service that they deserve. Because Yostar Limited spectacularly failed in this respect, I cannot recommend this game to anybody, if such basic protocols of customer service cannot be adhered to by this developer.
