Release of Blue Archive, the Anime RPG by Nexon

Given the success of anime-graphics RPGs in recent years, it was only natural that anticipation for Nexon's new game would grow. Blue Archive was released this week, having passed 1 million pre-registrations. I had the opportunity to test it this week to give you a little insight into the gameplay.

Blue Archive release and gameplay discovery

Since its release, Blue Archive has seen a first wave of players. They were a bit disappointed because the prologue lasts more than 30 minutes before you can finally play freely. However, it allows you to discover the game mechanics and the narrative. So you won't be lost in the menus...

When Blue Archive is released, you will play as a professor who gathers female student fighters to fight against the internal threats of the city of Kivotos. Each student belongs to an Academy which determines her speciality. By combining their talents, you will have to compose the best team possible.

If you want to make up your own mind about Blue Archive, go ahead and try it out on iOS, Android or PC! It remains to be seen whether the drop rates of female students will give you a good chance of getting the team you want... Or whether the gacha system will make the game too frustrating.

Let's note that the most awaited RPG with anime graphics remains the next title of miHoYo. Already behind huge successes such as Genshin and Honkai Impact 3rd, the studio will soon offer Honkai: Star Rail, which we have already seen in a trailer.
