This feature I hope will become as regular as others dubbed Games Menu will be my reviewing platform for games, this isn't the same as cartridge diaries which is me trying to see old titles return.
To start with we review Dawn of the Breakers.
Released in 2018 back in the summer, possibly earlier in Japan, Dawn of the Breakers is a free to play Nintendo Switch game in which a band of colour coded heroes fight and defeat ghouls.
The gameplay is broken down between the hack and slash style battles and the influences of a dice roll board game where a number of factors can influence the next fight; as this is free to play it is reliant on two things, it's weekly updates continue to build the game with new content and events; obviously paying does net you bigger rewards quicker.
Pros
Easy to pick up for new players.
The choice of characters is incredibly diverse and no one character is too weak or too strong.
Clever level up system means that even a less rare character can take out a super rare.
Very colourful and energetic, you always feel encouraged to play.
The capsule system doesn't always leave you feeling cheated.
Always compensation for server maintenance.
Co-op has been fixed.
The random element of dice rolling has been removed.
Cons
Story is hard to follow.
You can't play as your own character.
Some heroes are event exclusives.
The game always requires an online connection which cuts out frequently.
Between events and new chapters can easily be a drought of no content especially if you've already done everything.
Will screw you out of exclusives if you are unlucky enough to not get any through tickets and hide behind an absurd paywall
Game has been hijacked by virtual YouTubers
Will no longer be playable after October.
Overall
I'm not sold on the games as a service model but the fact that I'm not paying for Dawn of the Breakers and it doesn't force me to pay anything to get through the game, I feel happy to play it.
