New game that just got posted and I didn't see a discussion thread for it yet.
I like the idea of making it PvP based but at the same time it honestly is executed rather poorly.
The game advertises itself as being very casual but it feels basically impossible to progress in the game without paying (and this is after reaching the 3rd city, 1st is a tutorial)
Because players are constantly rolling and potentially stealing your money, you can spend 5 minutes rolling to get the money you need for an upgrade and within seconds have ALL of it taken away.
I had the same person steal 460k funds from me twice in a row with 15 seconds, so I went from 800k to 0 instantly. The only real way you can make money besides buying it is getting VERY lucky and getting a GoldenSpy on someone who themselves has managed to accumulate a crap ton of money.
Game also offers and starter pack thing to buy for Nutaku Gold that gives 10 million funds... but to me thats a complete waste if players can steal that from you within minutes. I couldn't even find myself able to read through the story because I'm in too much of a panic that my money gets stolen while I'm watching cutscenes.
So yeah... Not a great first impression of this game so far.

Interesting, I assume that means it went direct to soft launch in some places? I only first saw it up for pre-registration yesterday.

I assume so, I was expecting it to just be pre-reg too, but it instantly put me in the game instead.

(and forgot to mention)

And the pre-reg page shows absolutely NO indication of gameplay.

SS of what looks like a roulette watch. (small, so can't make out much detail, I assume it's some sort of gatcha. Energy and money rewards, I think?)
SS of a friends screen
SS of a map (I think) screen.

And some H-scene SS's.

None of which can be zoomed in on.

It's similar to Pirate Kings or Piggy Boom if anyone knows the genre. Fun casual mechanics which I like a lot!

This may very well be the worst game on Nutaku.

How is the game casual though? You're literally fighting and struggling to progress because you can lose everything to other players within seconds. And all progress is reliant on how lucky you can get on the wheel from attacks.
The only way i could see progressing being reasonable with paying butt loads of money is if you play at like 3am so the odds of having other people online at the same time as you is very small.

So this is PvP focused, time and money heavy - gonna be an easy pass from me if that's tire

fwiw, seems to be available everywhere...

And yeah, got to the 3rd city like the other poster, but even though not much got stolen don't really feel any interest in playing more.

If it wasn't for some of the character artwork, I probably wouldn't have even touched this game. Probably one of the worst games I've seen on nutaku. This is a prime example of game made solely as a cash grab.

Why do you say that? It seems to have a decent story and OK artwork. What are you comparing it too? It's a Pirate Kings clone not GTA 5!

This game is essentially the same as going to some random number generator site and using a booru site as your reward for reaching a total amount.

Nobody was comparing it to like a AAA mainstream video game. As Aidoru said, the game poorly designed and is 200% a cash grab. Nutaku has had P2W games in the past but this one is by far the worst. You should NOT be able to buy currency with your real money and then lose it in 30 seconds or less to players stealing it from you. I didn't have that happen because I haven't spent a dime on the game, but I've had 1 million stolen by a single player with like 15 seconds. Maybe when the game dies it'll actually be playable because you wont be bombarded with stuff.
Also as for the story, which I stated in an earlier post, it's hard to read it when every second you are reading, someone is taking your money.

This is a prime example of game made solely as a cash grab. Shouldn't there be an incentive to actually spend cash for a game for it to be a cash grab? :angel:

Played a bit, and no clue what I am doing. Okay, you basically have to unlock a city. I got that. But there is no actual strategy or player decision whatsoever. At first it looked like a bingo card or some choose board for questtions of a game show. Spin the wheel and as soon as you have enough money, click one of the icons on the board and if you have all the icons, your city is done.

There is PvP. Aha. In what way? That is just spin the wheel. If you get lucky, you can "attack" another player. Or rather, instead of the wheel giving you money, you get (perhaps) money from the other player or from destroying his shields.

Maybe I am missing something, but this game is basically a slot machine, isn't it. Not that I would have a problem with stupid game play or repetive actions, but with all the bells and whistles the interface has, there could have been done a lot of "spy vs. spy" action.

This game is a slot machine, but that in no way means it can't also be a PvP game.

A good chunk of the game involves taking money from other players, in essence, battling against other players. The problem is that the ammunition to attack others is random, but someone who is willing to pay will have more chances at getting that ammo. Then the fact that there is a revenge system goes to show how much it eggs players on to attack back, in which the other player now receives a revenge towards you, creating a chain of back and forth for who has the best luck, who has the most money and whose friends have the best luck and money, as you can send your friends at them too.

Then we have the matter where someone can easily take all your money within seconds. When I tried playing the other day, the game bugged out and froze and within the timeframe of refreshing the game, I had all my cash, over 1mil, stolen by a single person. Not even by multiple people. The further city you're in, the more difficult it is for you as the amount you need increases but the amount you can win from the roulette doesn't change, only the amount you can get from attacking people(?) it seems. Imagine late game when things start costing more per icon, enough that you have to use a good amount of all your rolls just to get one or two icon. What will be your main source of income? Expecting multiple 100k drops from the roulette? Yea right. It's attacking other players, cause sure as heck you're not going to be getting much from the roulette but good luck not getting attacked back or having all your funds taken by someone else.

So like I previously said, this game sole purpose is to suck money out of people. It is essentially an RNG simulator with some hentai pics as reward but with a PvP game system shoved in to encourage people with money throw money at each other. Free players will progress so slowly, they'd be better of just googling porn. The game probably cost so little to develop that it won't have any problems surviving on nutaku.

Is it really that hard to make sure the basic game functions work properly before releasing the game? In its current state, it would be embarrassing if it were still in beta.

The problem is that the ammunition to attack others is random Yep. As far as I could see, you had no control, who or when to attack. And you can even befriend the people that attacked you. But, as far as I can see, you cannot actually take revenge on an attack. Only put that skull on them.

The double attacks seem to be a bug. I have also seen double stealing and double friendship requests. The timing is off.

--

So it seems there is control over your attacks after all. There are buttons to the right I did not see previously. It seems you can attack your friends, your foes and a random player. The wheel only gives you a attack, but not a fixed target.

Noooow, if there were a way to know, if the target has any shields up...

And if I click the locations of my friends, sometimes there runs a girl left and right. Clicked several times, she drops goodies.

Start that game. Feeling nice first three minutes.
After that someone stole all 1.5 mln of my money with 5k per roll from that roulette.
I don't even have time to start spending. So have no more reasons to play it.

On day of launch the tutorial and first day reward (about 2.0 Mio of credits) was instantly stolen by a player….what a joke.

Now and then a players steals from you, but I would like to know: HOW?
What is stealing in the game? Infiltrate? Attacking players? No guide info. Bad game instruction.

Stealing it's basically getting infiltrate in the roulette (the spy icon). If you get infiltrate you have to choose between 3 options. All of them have money but the one they tell you to find it's the one with the highest amount. There's nothing you can do to avoid other players to steal from you, but now you lose only a fraction of your total of money. On release date was almost unplayable since they stole ALL your money.

Seems like the game got removed from the game list but is still playable... possibly dead soon.
