GoldenSpy

[katsalia]

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.
