Granblue Fantasy Relink: Endless Ragnarok adds so much to not just the endgame but the whole experience that it feels like a 2.0 release.

I greatly enjoyed my time with Granblue Fantasy: Relink, and I’m fortunate to finally have gotten the chance to try what’s a truly delightful adventure with Endless Ragnarok. This is definitely an expansion I’d wholeheartedly recommend both returning players and newcomers to try out. If what exists here in Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Endless Ragnarok is any indication, then I truly believe there’s endless potential for future Granblue Fantasy games of this ilk.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok answers a lot of the complaints I had with the base game and adds a ton more to do in the game. If you haven’t played Granblue Fantasy: Relink before, this is the perfect time to get the game and the expansion, as it is still an amazing experience.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok is a great expansion to an already excellent action RPG. The new additions add thoughtful challenges and new strategic options that are helpful when it comes to surviving the onslaught of endgame content. It’s important to keep in mind, however, that this is the kind of addition that is meant for those who have already dug deep enough into the experience and those who haven’t yet will not get much out of it without some hours of grinding to get there.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok is a commendable expansion, offering more of the same engaging gameplay, which is a compliment here. It revitalizes both early and endgame content with new challenges. The expansion introduces boss-focused encounters with unique mechanics and roguelike Confluence missions that blend combat, platforming, and memory tests, adding variety beyond traditional arenas. While the cinematic presentation and character progression are strong, the intense grinding, especially for new players facing a significant power gap, can be a drawback.

The new Endless Ragnarok expansion, as its name suggests, brings a massive amount of new content to Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Cygames’ colorful action RPG originally released in early 2024. The update introduces new abilities, higher difficulty levels, additional characters to unlock, and even a brand-new roguelike mode, significantly expanding the game’s longevity. While its story, built around many familiar genre clichés, may not leave a lasting impression, the real highlight is its refined combat system. Deep, fast-paced, and spectacular, it draws inspiration from the very best action JRPGs, delivering dozens of hours of engaging gameplay whether you’re playing solo or with friends.

If Granblue Fantasy: Relink had your attention before but you never took the plunge, there legitimately isn’t a better version of the game to play than Endless Ragnarok. If you just want the main story, you won’t get the most out of the game, but if you’re in it for the long haul, Cygames has you covered with an absurd amount of fun and an enjoyable game.

The Endless Ragnarok expansion picks up seamlessly where the main game left off, telling a solid story that promises around 20 to 25 hours of additional gameplay while introducing exciting new features. Whether it’s the "Conflux" roguelike mode, the summoning mechanic, the six new party members, the new Master Trait system, or the numerous new bosses, fans are sure to be satisfied. The long-awaited addition of crossplay also earns a thumbs-up. However, the fact that local co-op is exclusive to the Switch 2 version – and that the Conflux mode doesn't support co-op at all – is baffling.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok is an excellent expansion that makes the game even more fun, while improving the brutal endgame grind. By introducing a brilliant single-player roguelite mode alongside the most challenging content to date, game-changing character traits and giving Lyria an active role in combat, Cygames has exceeded expectations once again, delivering a must-get for newcomers and veterans alike.

A massive expansion for Skyfarers returning to the endless skies. The overhauled farming mechanics and the introduction of the Summons system add new depth to combat, while six highly distinct new characters and challenging new bosses shake things up. However, a progression system still heavily reliant on the Damage Cap and a boss lineup mostly consisting of familiar faces from the base game leave something to be desired.
