Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok Upgrade Kit (Standard Edition)

top

i really like the base game, and i always considered the weakest aspect of the game to be the lack of boss variety at the endgame since a ton of the bosses are simple variations of themselves rather than fully unique ones. i really, [i]really[/i] thought this "expansion" was going to fix that problem, so i was excited to see this game's potential realised, but.. that just didn't happen. the game is still good, the new mastery additions for the characters are great and they're fun to play, but there are less than a handful fully unique new fights which is so disappointing to me. for $30 it's definitely a bit of a hard sell. pick it up if you simply want more reason to grind, but avoid it if you're looking for a good story addition or more endgame variety than the base game.

二游们，我不在的时候你们很嚣张啊？

Honestly this DLC is a rough grind. I keep seeing comparisons of this game to Monster Hunter, but when you first get to iceborne you can immediately get some quick mats, try out any of the weapons with their cool new moves, and try something new if you feel like it. When you want to try a new character, it's a really bad grind. Just like the grind to get your first character geared for the DLC. Just like the grind to level up the rest of your party. Just like the grind for mastery points. Just like the grind for the reccomended terminus weapon. Just like... The problem is that a lot of these grinds aren't fun. So many things are gated behind fighting smaller enemies that are no match for you, or the new "roguelike" random path mode where the in-run upgrades barely matter because of damage cap, that you only get to fight cool new enemies rarely. And here's the worst part; maybe I am a noob at this game... but the telegraphs are really bad to sight read the first time you fight most of these bosses. And because the mats to keep upgrading your gear don't often come from fighting these hard bosses again and again, and instead come from monsters 100 levels below you, you don't get the satisfaction of learning them. Finally, lava lizard is a pain to fight with Zeta. How do I divekick through an invisible wall, pls fix. I'd rather divekick into the lava with a chance of hitting it than slide down the invisible wall

Really great game, style and gameplay loop. You can do basically everything solo with AI companions, although you might have to deck them out pretty hard towards the very very end and get a bit specific but otherwise not hard to do, just a little time consuming. It's a shame games like this are not very popular. It's basically Monster-Hunter but boss battles and way more variation and difficulty. Hoping for another great game like this to release.

Don't be expecting a full expansion akin to Monster Hunter Master Rank / G-Rank expansions. This is just a small addition to the game which adds new difficulty levels, characters and the summon system. The summon system is the coolest part and it also help you be more dynamic with your builds. There are by my count... 4 new bosses which are all very cool but you don't fight most of them until the later part of the expansion. The rest are reskins or not even reskinned at all. The already existing monsters have additional movesets in "Chaos" difficulty onwards which can wildly change how that fight plays out. If you like the base game endgame content then I can recommend it. Don't buy for story because there is barely any of it. If you only want story or don't like the grind then don't buy it. This expansion makes the grind more enjoyable in my opinion. There are no new areas, not even a new town to hang out in. If you plan to only play solo with bots then you might have a problem as character power and monster HP rapidly increases in this expansion content. Keeping your bots leveled up is going to be a huge nightmare as a huge amount of level up currency is required. I would recommend playing with online matchmaking and or with friends. I won't lie, I'm a little disappointed. I was expecting a lot more new content... But I still had fun... so... I can recommend the game even if the price might be a bit too much for the amount of new content they've added in.

特效花到看不起，遍地马拉松机制怪，打完回荒野感觉古巨基都是绝世好怪。本质二游，冒充动作游戏，不是二游爱好者别买。换皮怪是他最小的问题。
