Azur Lane has enough interesting ideas of its own to help it stand out a little from the crowd, and there’s a considerable amount of content here to enjoy right from the get-go. It’s perhaps a little overly-complicated for its own good, and anyone who isn’t already somewhat familiar with games like these is probably going to be scared away by its busy interface and tutorial avalanche. At the same time, it’s not hard to see why this game was a pretty big hit in other regions. The art is good, the gameplay is reasonably fun, and there’s a lot to chew on for those who get engaged with it.
One of my favourite games alongside Doom Eternal, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Payday 2. Fun gameplay, great drop rates compared to other gacha games, flawless character design, great character diversity, amazing national representation. The nations represented are the US, Germany, UK, France, Italy, Japan, the Soviet Union, China, and some of the British Commonwealth, included in the UK's faction. Each ship's design is heavily based on her real armament, design, and nation when she existed, and even has designs for ships that never existed. My personal favourite is the KMS Roon, a ship made up for World of Warships (I think?) that came into Azur Lane. There are crossovers with some amazing game series, including Dead or Alive and Hololive. I will keep sinking time into this game for years to come.
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.
I have been playing Mobile Videogames since 2015 or a bit early if I can't remember at the moment.
But Azur Lane it's like those Anime — Generic Games, with Fan Service that makes it more a product than a true history.
It maybe has their own style, or their own mechanics but to be honest, I didn't like it.
They maybe have their own anime or other products to be consume, but I think it's something more to eat while is hot than something that's truly worth of it.
Hi Andre Yagami, ini gua Pladidus dari ****.
Belum pernah main Azur Lane sama sekali sih. Tapi hey, karena reviewer dari user **** bisa dibayar dan karenanya murni, gua cuman mau buktiin point aja.
Nice game. Walaupun gua suka cosplay-nya, gua gak pernah tertarik main game-nya. ya udah, 1/10 aja. YEAY PENDAPAT GUA VALID!
