Did you try adding "/play" at the end of the url? So that would be [nutaku url]/games/sengoku-providence/play/. I used to have the same error and that would fix it.

I don't know what's more surprising, the fact that Nutaku (or SuperHippo, who are apparently the ones managing this) expects people to spend $25/$50 on a pre-registration gatcha to get additional slots and chances for 5* characters as well as unlock the 2x/Auto Battle features (which should be free for everyone) for a game that (most, unless you've played the Japanese version) haven't played yet, or that there are some people who are actually willing to pay it.

I really love the art in this game, but the way the pre-registration gatcha is being handled kind of turns me off completely from the game. I bet the odds of F2P people pulling a 5* character on the initial gatcha/slot is ridiculously low too. It wouldn't surprise me if it was a 0.5% chance, but don't worry! Pay $50 and the chance increases to 50%! Pre-registration gatcha are supposed to encourage positivity and excitement for the game, this is doing quite the opposite. I hope there are a lot of whales out there, as they will likely be the only ones playing this.

I'll continue to do the free pre-registration gatcha rolls (for as long as I can), but if I fail to get a 5* I'll just pass on the game entirely. I know, given how the game is already shaping up, that this is likely my best chance of getting a 5* (without paying), so if I don't manage here, it'll be a long road ahead for me. In the Japanese version, apparently they have a 5* guarantee if you do a 10+1. I bet that won't transition to the English release.

I guess I'll stick with Flower Knight Girl.

Edit:

I just read this on their Facebook page. A comment from the developer or, at least, the one handling the English release.

"Again please wait for the game before making assumptions, the paid slots created during preregistration were made because players complained during DMM preregistration that it was difficult to decide which Senki to keep. Making them free in pre-registration would not have been fair for players going directly in the game.
We consider fair to add these features in this purchase. Again you are ock these features making a purchse and you also get the items you buy."

How thoughtful of them! They heard our pleas/complaints about being unable to choose between our two freshly-pulled 5* waifu, that they selflessly offered the $25/$50 paid in-game option, just so we wouldn't have to make that life-or-death decision. In addition, they lowered the rate of standard 5* pulls, unless we paid the premium fee, just so the F2P customers wouldn't be caught in the horrible situation of having a first and second 5* pulled, and no way to keep both (only having one slot available). They couldn't offer the second and third slots for free to all pre-registration customers, since that wouldn't "be fair". However, giving you the option to have this available if you opt to use your credit card? Yes, that they can do!

Thank you, SuperHippo. Thank you. We really appreciate you guys looking after your customers and the difficult decisions we could potentially have to make.

99% lol, what an arbitrary number.

That means the 1% will be flat-chested girls getting boob-jobs, obviously.

Worry not! You'll just need to purchase the "Uncensored" CG Pack for 5,000 Nutaku Gold, and all of the edits will be gone!

...I probably shouldn't give them any ideas...

Honestly, i don't think allowing people to keep more girls from the pre-reg rolls if they pay a bit of money is bad. The fact that they gated 2x and auto behind it though? Nuh-uh, that's horrible. In most cases those very two things are what makes or breaks a game for me and i would have quit FKG already if nutaku had not implemented autorun.

The fact that it's behind a paywall makes me less likely to spend on the game since if the basic features do not adhere to me, i won't want to continue to begin with.

Yeah, I don't mind the idea of paying for multiple slots for a pre-reg. Though $25 is a tall order already.

Not just the 2x/auto though, but gating two more 5*s behind that paywall is pretty scummy.

As for the 1% thing, I highly doubt it's lolis. They fucked up on BGR, sure, but X-Overd seems to be fine with the starter imouto beastgirl loli, or the loli ninja they gave out for pre-reg.

Can I check whats behind a paywall?
