Can I enjoy this game and win without using money?

[Kurio]

This was described to me as a gatcha horror game. I dont want to get hooked and spend money on this game. I prefer straight up retail games when it comes to monetization.

Last game to get me was archage, never again.

[Yourfather]

Its not a horror game, more like the type of horror you find in dark fantasy and stuff, its a game thats not easy, way above other gatchas in terms of difficulty.

But to answer your question, yes you can, so far its very single player like but only if you enjoy the type of game i described.

[Xerral]

Yes, you can enjoy this fully f2p

[Alastor]

No

[PETPO レトロ]

Great f2p experience

[Kurio]

Ive been trying it and its right up my ally so far.
Thanks!

Though I havent encountered the difficulty part. Im sure Ill mislevel my toons as I play on though.

[Sarissofoi]

Yes. So far I have plenty of fun without spending cash.
What you need to know
>get your ID and issue password and write it down or you can lose all your progress
>do not spend character dupes for skill inheritance or discipline till you know whats going on
You can pretty easily beat first Abyss with whatever you want and 2nd with Earth elemental team. 3rd Abyss is more difficult but it will take you some time to even get there.

Here's another way to look at it:

Paying helps, but it doesn't allow you to mindlessly brute force without learning how to play the game.

[Berucross]

Pay if you want or be F2P. Paying a little is almost the same as F2P. Unfortunately only whales have a huge advantage here. You can even play with nameless companions if you wish (not recommended). The difference is that legendary characters have some unique skills like Lanavaille have a 10% row damage buff and heal a little bit in the end of the battle. You can earn a lot of gems as F2P by playing so as long you focus in few companions you can have a strong team.

[StanZane✔]

Yes, u can

[Emperor Fooble]

Yes, you can absolutely enjoy this game fully free to play. There are no ads or annoying popups, it feels and plays like any other blobber game but with an attached gacha system.

At the start you get given a big chunk of gems and a single legendary selector to boot, so if you reroll your account a few times chances are you will be able to start off with a full legendary squad if thats what you want to do, made up of standard and limited banners.

The only 'downside' is that adding any more characters to your roster will be rare as the amount of ingame currency you earn is tiny, truly pitiful.

You're guaranteed a standard legendary and one of each non-legendary (minus the Ninja?).

Bones are kind of everywhere. Monthly dungeon diving, login rewards, event rewards, etc.

Since every pull gives a character, chances are you'll have enough to build several good rosters out of just from doing your initial/reroll pulls.

Filling out your squad is not going to be a problem unless you're after limited characters. You won't accumulate the funny gacha currency fast enough to keep up with the biweekly limited banners. As a free player you do have to evaluate your options and choose what to pass on but that's standard fare for the genre.

But don't feel pressured to fill your party with legendary or limited characters. They've done a good job making most of them only situationally good so far. All of this game can be done with the right strategies and gear obtained through gameplay (whale options exist but let's just say it's hostile even to whales). You can even slip in unnamed generics if there's no one else to fill the role for a particular strat. I actually beat the third loop event dragon with that lol.

You 100% do not ever need to spend a single dollar on the game if you don't want to. Even the no name characters can clear all content in the game if they are well geared. In fact in some cases the no names are considered higher tier.

For example the "Elf-Mage" female caster is the current record holder for highest max IQ character in the game. They are also considered to be one of the top 5 best mages. The only mages that clearly beat them are all legendaries, and one Thief who ironically can class change to mage and is much stronger as a mage than thief.

How do you reroll? Anything not to do that could mess up your ability to reroll?

I think the game is fun so far. Kind of makes me want to try the other more recent wizardry games.

I actually paid in 5 dollars because I enjoyed the game so much. Didnt mind giving them some money as I feel the game respects my time and is fair.
