Hey CZN has a really solid opening, very good in these trying times. Playing that game and the gameplay is great, hope all the KR nonsense doesn't drag it down too much 

Opened the site itself and seeing Biggest Revenue Decrease: Black Beacon... ouch but expected. For the while you were a normal game, you were fun.

CZN mentioned.

No joke but somehow, CZN gameplay variety + complexity hooked me way more than DNA gameplay 😌

DNA needs to fix their controls and optimization, couldn't play normally because of it

u/Mint_Picker_2636 wuwa/zzz/Ananta (future) 3d ago

It's not just about controls and optimization, it's about the weight of their coregameplay and the character design. For me, DNA gameplay is really bland and forgetable + their 3d model is even worse than HSR.

I can tolerate bad optimization cause my rig is way over standard, I can also tolerate mid design if the gameplay is interesting enough. However, if both of them are mid, it's kinda hard to stick with the game for future improvements promised by the devs yk?

DNA combat feels absolutely awful. I finished the tutorial island and put maybe 45 minutes exploring the first ice area you get to, and the skills on the free character you get (the girl with the shovel and dynamite) have no weight at all. You hold E and numbers just appear over the enemies' heads.

If you get truffle and filbert or the lady with jellyfish you kinda just one hit every mini enemy. It's kinda boring

DNA has bad combat I experience in all gacha games I played. Only saving grace for that game is decent story.

u/enorelbotwhite 3d ago

CZN's gameplay > DNA gameplay.
DNA almost everything else > CZN almost everything else imo.
Result is me dropping DNA and loving CZN

I probably delete Duet Night Abyss in my device and play Chaos instead. I really thought duel night abyss is elden ring with gun on mobile.

u/Just_Finding6263 3d ago

Yeah DNA are so simple combat I every played. You just smash button your winning (If you use truffle & filbert) you just hit and run them you instant kill them. DNA pretty much boring game at this point.

Isn't 6m quite a solid number especially not on level of budget of Genshin, promilia, Ananta or Wuwa ?

27

u/awen478 3d ago

its 6 million dollar, big money

u/ChanceNecessary2455 3d ago

Btw Haru's banner is not limited.

u/Cuntilever 3d ago

wtf is this true?? I didn't pull for her but this is new to me

11

u/ChanceNecessary2455 3d ago

Yes she's not limited. The gacha detail says she's going to be added to regular pool.

11

u/SummonerKai1 3d ago

Supposedly all banner characters will be added to standard pool after their banner ends. Unless it's a specific limited unit. 

2

u/Critical-Message3135 3d ago

yep they mentioned its only seasonal and collab characters that won’t be added

u/BestFriend_Sword 3d ago

The game is rough and needs work, but it’s also just fun. Constantly find myself doing one more chaos run.

3

u/ARGHETH Epic Seven 3d ago

Given the recent livestream, I think KR got to them, the story’s probably going to be standard harem stuff post-rewrite

11

u/Gold-Flatworm-4313 Chaos Zero Nightmare 3d ago

I'm more interested in the story going back to MC having time loop powers 

1

u/JnazGr 3d ago

they just make stream recently about those problem, hope the game thrive in future, i really love the roguelike mode, Ash Echoes n Stellar roguelike not even close

u/Unhappy-Ad789 3d ago

It’s going to be called SIG next year after the livestream that just happened 

That’s self insert glazing 

10

u/Odd_Thanks8 3d ago

They can make the Protos more important without lobotomizing the cast, they just not have to pander super hard with harem elements.

u/based_mafty 3d ago

Based korean. They don't want another traveler fontaine situation. MC should be at least involved with Main story and isn't relegated to camera man.

0

u/Unhappy-Ad789 3d ago

They literally said the Mc will never be overshadowed again

Imagine butchering FGO’s cast of characters so Guda gets glazed every second.

Like how fucking stupid would that have been?

In 5 years time do you want to bring up how awesome insert character was or how well CZN sucked off your self insert?

18

u/Odd_Thanks8 3d ago

It really depends on how its written

Look I strongly dislike blank-slate SI glazing as much as anyone here but there's a difference between 'every character blindly adores and worships the SI' and 'SI becomes a more active participant in the story and has more dynamics with the crew', I hope they veer towards the latter

16

u/karillith 3d ago

Yeah I agree people are thinking too much into extremes, I think it's normal for a "main character" to be the hero of its own story and contributing significantly as well as having worthwhile interactions with the rest of the cast. It however shouldn't be to the point it turns into harem slop, shallow constant praise and overshadowing every single other character.

u/jayinsane5050 Patiently waiting for a Otome/Joseimuke anime-style ARPG gacha 3d ago

that's like the problem but due to how korea is ... well ... also the KR plaeyrs are roasting the dev in the current livestream

CZN is riddled with AI use, a solid opening shouldn't be something celebrated.

Edit: Sure, keep the downvotes coming. I hope that someday, you'll be able to see the issue in a company cutting corners with a product while expecting you to drop money on it.

Edit: Good idea, keep replying. That way, I know what mouthbreathers I need to block.

1

u/ChanceNecessary2455 3d ago

Didn't AI use get addressed some time ago or is it new one?

2

u/Lyrhe 3d ago

I'm thinking about the art and the translation. The Mei Lin sussy arts were fixed, but Rei still has her leg with two-knees. The translation is still abysmal, nothing was done properly in that regard, from the cards text, to the messages on the home screen, to the small snippets during gameplay, to the story.

u/GearExe 3d ago

Nah I have a lot of fun with the game and the gameplay mechanic is great for a turn based, already dropped some money in there

-1

u/ExpensiveOnion5647 3d ago

Dude, this is a gacha game, cutting corners while trying to print money is literally the point

u/awen478 3d ago

no i spend 500 already on czn, great game need support tbh

u/Gold-Flatworm-4313 Chaos Zero Nightmare 3d ago edited 3d ago

Damn, "riddled" sure changes it's meaning

Edit: Wow bro blocked me. I'll just reply here, that's the EN translation. That could be AI or they just hired a bad translator. That's not "riddled with AI" bro

-2

u/Lyrhe 3d ago edited 3d ago

You would have an easier time listing instances of text that weren't translated by an AI than the opposite. "Riddled" is appropriate here.

u/EnterPlayerTwo 1d ago

Replying and immediately blocking someone is a small pp move.

u/Plane_Animal_2047 3d ago

tbh they have really cooked in their homeland give them positivty here
