Dragon's Crust: You're Not Ready Yet Edition

Not into puss but this Kitty got me busy.

"But I don't want a gacha game, I want a regular mainline Atelier!" cried the Gust fan, unable to cope with the idea that out of thirty entries, this one would cater to a mobile audience. They muffle their screams into a Ryza body pillow that although they've finished onto, they've yet to finish an entry outside of her trilogy. If only they had the ingenuity to indulge in Mana Khemia or the Dusk trilogy. They shall continue to languish at the prospect of gacha, laying in weight of a $100 pre-order yet to come.

A bland Survivors-like with equally dull AI art assets...

Softcore Survivors

Good Goods isn't Good.

To quote, "Sokpop makes a new game every two weeks!". Temper all expectations.
Gameplay: Minimal scope. Expansion is brutal.
Visually: Painfully bright.

---

Platinum? A dull grind.
$500,000 requires 50+ Special Contracts.

---

With any polishing, this could be as addictive as Mini Motorways.

Valkyrie Elysium is incompetence embellished & nostalgia exhausted.
Gameplay: Functional Masher that fails to highlight any of its systems.
　Einherjar are Buffs & Decoys, not Party Members.
　Parry & Counter are generous but enemy reactions are inconsistent.
　Offscreen Damage. All ~10 Fodder Types have a Projectile or AoE too.
Plot: There are 9 Chapters. The plot is Chapter 9.
　Memories (Audio Logs) in the Menu provide the Party's backstory. ~15m per Member.
　Cutscenes are few and awkwardly slow.
　Multiple Endings: Hoes before the World's Woes.
Visually: Babylon's Fall but inoffensive and therefore forgettable.
　"But Quina Quen, we had FF14 Assets for dinner last time!"

Hilde's Vengeance is a short gauntlet as thicc Hilda that offers no plot.
Seraphic Gate is a 20 Stage Arena as MaRye. Again: No substance.

Platinum
　~20+Hrs: 2.5/ 3 Campaigns: Normal, Hard + S Rank Cleanup/ Valkyrie
　4 Endings: Ch.9 can be Replayed; No NG+
　Collectibles & SSS Proficiency Grind

Square Enix shouldn't have bothered.
Highly recommend watching a compilation of its Cutscenes & Memories at x2 speed instead.

Blandest of all Time.

The Overhaul that dropped the baul.

Avengers Creed ft. TMNT

Gotham Knights succeeds at providing impressive in-engine cutscenes but ultimately drowns in Batman's shadow both in an ironic narrative sense and under the weight of Arkham's legacy.

---

Visionary Pack DLC is wildly overpriced and oddly inaccessible/ unnoticeable.

---

Platinum
~25Hr+: Main Story, 50 Fl Grind, Collectibles

---

Avoid.
