GIRLS' FRONTLINE 2: EXILIUM

i love this game. This is more of a personal opinion, as i see that many people arent a big fan of turn based combat which is fairly understandable. The gameplay does get quite boring and tedious after awhile, I wish there were more visuals that kept your attention. I mostly enjoy it for the collection of the characters, and i find their designs gorgeous and well put together. The recruitment gacha system is quite generous compared to other gacha systems of games I've played, but that's just my personal experience. This game isn't for everyone, but if you never get tired of turn based combat and you like looking at pretty girls with guns then this would probably be for you.

I've been aware of this series for some time, but ultimately didn't try it out until now for varying reasons. Of all things a comment made on some random internet forum saying now was a "good time" to start is what spurred me to finally change my mind. That said this game really surprised me. I expected a more run of the mill, waifu collecting, gacha game. I mean it IS those things but I feel like it's a bit more than that too. There is a lot to unpack when you first start the game. If I had to compare it to something I'd compare it to an onion. Because as you gain levels as the Commander more features slowly open up giving you more and more options on how to play and make your girls stronger. What's interesting is that most of these activities don't cost stamina/energy but they still reward you with currency and goodness knows what else. Which is a welcome change in my book but the game is generous enough with energy refill items and such that I don't think it's a big deal when things do cost that resource. What really surprised me about the game is the quality. The lore, the characters, their personalities, the audio/visual aspects. Everything is really polished and seriously well done. I really like the graphical style of the characters, I think it's some kind of cel shading but I'm not sure. Very expressive, highly detailed, and a joy to watch in motion. The art work for the visual novel-esk story scenes is also really well done. It's clear a lot of love went into this project. Gameplay is pretty standard grid based tactics stuff. You can sleep walk through a fair amount of early game content but there are things in here that WILL challenge you, it's just not consistent, which is kind of a bummer but that's ok. I don't need a tough as nails experience to enjoy myself. Moving onto the gacha elements I feel like the game is super generous with it's f2p currency and that there isn't really any p2w elements here. Fine, some Dolls will be a bit stronger out of the box when you first get them but I honestly feel like ANY of the Dolls can become a force of nature with enough time and effort put into them. Which is really nice, there are advantages to fielding certain teams but the game is clearly designed with a "pick your favorites" style in mind. Draw rates seem to be standard fare, with a really solid pity system to boot. So you'll eventually get the unit you want you just have to keep at it. At this point in time I've spent maybe 10$ on the game and haven't really felt like I had to spend at all to get what I wanted. Buying premium currency feels more like a "thank you" to the devs as opposed to something that you "need" to do which is always appreciated with these kinds of games. About the only complaint I have, if you can even call it a complaint, is that I wish the primary story mode and the side stories had some sort of timeline feature. It's a bit difficult to determine where and when certain events take place, which can be confusing because the main/side plots like to jump around a little. An in game glossary for certain terms and other things would also be helpful but I feel like it might be asking too much given how much lore this game has. That's really it. Otherwise I've been really enjoying myself pulling for units, doing the primary campaign and other events that are currently going on. GFL2 is a just really solid game and I'm happy I took the time to finally try it out.

I think GFL1 vets will love this game more than your new comers. People keep making the mistake of thinking it is some sort of tactical X-COM girls edition game. Truthfully, I can see how people may think that but it is NOT the case. If you just want cute girls, good story (IMO, very reminiscent of GFL1 story telling to me) then I believe you should play this game. No you DO NOT have to use the best teams or units to clear the game. People complain about tactical dolls (T-Dolls) being able to wipe the board turn 0 or 1 but you're not forced to use those units. I get wanting to use your favorite dolls without ruining the gameplay feel though. Honestly, the gameplay isn't much to be impressed by. I'm just here for the story and to collect units I seen in GFL1 and to see how they progressed in this new era.

esta bien para pasar el rato

Fantastic story and lore.

as gacha game this one good, as a game that released on steam with variety audience this game a bit bad

Está buenísimoo

下个几百MB的启动器，完了进去一看又下70个G，然后就几MB/S在那蠕动几个小时，真神了好吧。你都上steam了，能不能一次性把东西下完，你整合在一起我十几分钟就下完了。 说回游戏本身，少前2完美地符合了我对二游作为电子盆栽的想象，玩起来真的很轻松。助战和自动化作战真的非常好用，HK416和AK15玩的我流口水。绝大部分情况都可以借助战，完全没有强度焦虑。 福利不错，新入坑，把主线和过往活动过完，抽数还蛮多的，我直接拿下了6+1的416。角色建模不错，还有非常多的皮肤，还提供了像整备室、休息室这些非常适合人形鉴赏的场所，简直太享受了，还说不是性爱人形？ 剧情方面，前几章较平淡，后面还蛮有意思的。活动排期有点神秘，我说白了，与其像现在这样，还不如快点赶赶进度，和国服同步更新算了。 还有一点，既然UI、故事这些都有中文了，那邮件和问卷能不能也都是中文的，英文问卷填起来还是太麻烦了。
