Is this game any good? Anyone played it already? What it is?
Hello, so it seems this is a gacha shooter but I heard also some stuff about the game and would like to confirm/disprove some of them with your. help, thanks!
I'm not really interested in gacha elements, so as long as you can go through the story f2p, it's enough.

Is story as bad as people say? No story? Bad voice acting? Please tell me something about story.
No english VA? Why? Is this game low budget?
PvP?
Is it again oversexualized pile of garbage like nikke something? Or is it actually decent?

Any other points to be aware of?

been playing for about 4-5 months, story is pretty good if you read it it can get pretty intense and at times emotional, the characters have depth but the combat is pretty meh. it has a cover system but its made irrelevant by strafing left or right, you can play the game entirely free and still get a good bit of pulls, some of the characters are broken (they dont function properly) like lyfe and haru break in the online co-op stuff and never been fixed. the game had english VAs but they discontinued them as of this update with tess, now its mainly japanese with no subtitles for all foreseeable future content due to "not enough people using english voiceover", the game feels like its heading down a more lewd path then what the game once was with increasingly skimpier purchasable outfits primarily for chenxing, lyfe and yao, there is no pvp but people are screaming for pvp content to be added. the VA acting will depend on the person you ask, some like it some hate it

In this time killer (it's hard to call it a "game"), if anyone tried, it was only 3d artists and animators. The tried to make the mechanics themselves a little more primitive, but that's all. This product had/has potential, which is unlikely to ever be or will be revealed.

There's some story. It's mediocre - not terrible, but not outstanding. Idea is, you lead a team of women who go out on missions in a S.T.A.L.K.E.R-esque Zone.
Yes, no English VA. Devs got rid of it because they're cheap.
No PvP.
The sexualization was okay at first, but the devs started to go all-in by the time of the previous event. Skins started off looking cool and tactical. Now the characters are barely wearing anything while running around in the middle of Siberia. For example, the most recent new character has a paid skin where she loses a bit of clothing each time you use her skill.

So it sounds like it was once a good game, but now it's getting worse and worse?

I've been playing for 3 months, I'm happy with everything. The project is developing quite quickly

Nope... better and better.
In any case, the project is free. If you don't like it, delete the game.

in my opinion, yes, its getting worse but others will say its fine and nothing is wrong with the game

Yep you can go into this game completely f2p since rewards aren't that much different from those who whaled to get in higher rank. story starting to get good later chapter, it is building up the world and lore. just waifu and shooting game with teambuilding aspect, I like these aspects a lot but as a tactical gamer I'm disappointed with how they glossed over many detail about firearm aspect.
Oh have to mention very generous system like farming character's shards, this basically means you just have to get one copy of a limited character and It's only the matter of time to unlock all extra skills from character dupes.

Free is a subjective. Personally I value my time more than my money, so I try to be informed about the game before I invest time into it.

What did Nikke do to you my guy?
This game is probably not for you. Go play some Roblox or something

Nikke? I didn't even played it, I just seen gameplay, many ppl were hyping it, but in reality, it looks like totally oversexualized garbage. Maybe game has some positives but how they present it makes me vomit.

Nikke in terms of story and music is way better than snow break, progression, gameplay(when it works) and f2p friendly Snowbreak has the upper hand.

The game is getting better. The recent update included several QoL measures and the addition of in-game chat along with the best story chapter to date. Of note, the level design in the most recent missions was a clear improvement. It was good before, but new missions have significantly more verticality to play around with and some parts can be stealthed using silent skills or long-range snipers.

At the same time, they keep selling extremely horny skins. Every skin released since the second event has been several degrees hornier than the last. With the most recent character, her base skin is also extremely horny. Worse, while she is characterized as an amateur magician who gets so nervous she once passed out for 3 days when trying to perform, she for some reason runs around in an odd bathing suit + mini-skirt combo. It doesn't help that she's been stationed in the snow the whole time.

The game does feel light on repeatable content outside of certain events, but it's clearly being polished further with every update. The story is decent, but your immersion may or may not survive future updates if characters are dressed to appeal to horndogs but characterized like normal human beings. The real shame is that the good characterization is kind of at odds with the costume choices.

This game is like a big juicy Onion. it has layers to it, and each time you "open it up" you want to cry that you did and regret everything - and there is always that ONE person .. to take a bite and eat it on up .. telling you raw onion is great and you just don't know it

And yeah I guess, that too is a personal thing, in much the same way... if yo into that
