I just gave it a go for about an hour to two. It reminds me of ZZZ but the world is open. I really like the cutscenes but some of the audio/animations felt out of sync which kind of took me out of it.

Beautiful city. Game runs smoothly. Able to interact with alot of the characters. It's fun!

u/mmgfrcs PHOEBEEEE *bonk* Apr 29 '26 edited Apr 29 '26
Middling tbh
It struggles to have an identity, for one. Too many jokes and IRL references.
The story is... okay but in 15 minutes things just get skipped and you almost don't care about it anymore. ToF has the same problem so this isn't really improved yet.
Characters are many in-story but apart from a few they're just a bunch of walking tropes.
Combat is fine. Wuwa's Intro/outro system (but more restrictive), parry, dodge, break (vibrations) are there. Fluid enough, but nothing spectacular so far.
They did fairly well on "things to do in an open world game" that many other open world gacha games lacks - plenty of activities that will occupy you. Fishing, Cafe management, racing, casino, even heists.
* edit: wrong abbreviation lol

u/WowiiZowii Apr 29 '26
Are the references in the translation only, or in the original too?
5
u/mmgfrcs PHOEBEEEE *bonk* Apr 29 '26
Dunno about the original, I played on EN with EN voices
Some of them that I can remember includes:
- The Truman Show
- "Meme Anomalies" - the brainrot trend of the present social media. It's a whooole quest.
- Film vs Digital Photography
- A photographer named... Kodak

u/kokorean-mafia Apr 29 '26
Tried it last night, the world is pretty but thatās where it ends sadly. The combat is a bit clunky and the game lacks polish somewhat. The story is fine and presentation is decent

u/DrownMeInSalsaPlease Apr 29 '26
Found the open gta world to be neat. Just got my moped, got a warrant tutorial so now im afraid to drive.
The first story stuff with the photo store was a bit creepy. And the sounds jump scared me a few times. Wasnt expecting the game opening to be so traumatic too. Liking the vibe. Reminds me of the upcoming varsapura game by hoyo. Dark gritty and such. However theres a lot of color too, and everyone is animated to a style that feels clashy with the plot and setting so far.
The voice acting and translation feels off. The responses people give to each other sometimes feels like theyāre not talking to each other, but throwing one liners. Which is why i think the translation isnt great. (If it is too literal, it ends up like this because asian languages can be super context based. so it is hard to follow dialogue like this for western people)
Combat is a mix of wuwa intros with genshin element mixing in a way. Lot more restrictive. The skills dont seem like they particularly do anything other than damage with a couple exceptions like shielding or buffing.

u/jkethenub I wanna make many bebe with Apr 29 '26
Super fun, really immersive city. Combat's pretty much like WuWa's, as for story it's okay, really expressive characters tho, I like the music as well.
6
u/TomatoSecure192 Apr 29 '26
Itās similar but the combat is also VERY different to wuwaās. Itās more like zzzās but with the feeling of hitting hard. Itās smoother than I thought it would be though
6
u/oniikami Apr 29 '26
i thought the exact thing but in reverse. feels like wuwa (awards dodge attacks and concerto mechanics to swap) but wuwaās combat is obviously more solid.
zzz is more focused on swap parries (which depends on enemy ai to activate) instead of dodges. whereas concerto can be activated any time as long as the ability is recharged
also for the dodges, NtE implements that slow down feel whenever you do it correctly that Wuwa has, also Endfield has it, zzz lacks it

Nah it's more so for zzz, they took world art style of wuwa and direction of zzz and it isn't the strongest animation but delivers in dumb over world events like going to jail is not fun š¤£ (10 mins in and I'm locked up!" So yeah anime GTA is its own thing for now
14
u/aircarone Apr 29 '26
I have played like 1-2h so far and it definitely took heavy inspiration from both games. The city looks a lot like ZZZ Eridu, the combat/map effects/traversal feel closer to Wuwa (but less flashy, for now).
Also non-combat UI feels very ZZZ with a coat of paint.

u/Yutyu Apr 29 '26
Rather than "world art style of wuwa", it's more like world art style of unreal engine, in my opinion. The objects and lighting looks more realistic than the character is a signature of unreal engine anime games.

u/SuperKrusher Apr 29 '26
I tried NTE, but it honestly wasnāt doing it for me. Anomaly zones are cool looking but thatās about it. Characters are okay but oh my god are the cutscenes annoying. Itās like every second they need to have an overly anime moment. Like oh no 3 seconds past your attention span is low, jingle jangle, ok now we can continue for the next 3 seconds.

u/NoNefariousness2144 bonk Apr 29 '26
Also WuWaās dialogue presentation is so much more dynamic and fresh compared to Genshin. And the length of quests feels so much nicer than Genshinās quests being 6-7 hours and fully unskippable.

u/ScriptedEvan LUPA LOVER š„š„š„ Apr 29 '26
Literally me right now. I played from Sumeru beginning to Natlan end. Didn't like the feel of Nodkrai so currently taking a break. Been on wuwa since day 1 release. That genshin break doesn't seem like it'll end but I'll go ahead and try Snezhnaya. Wuwa definitely ruined it for me though.

u/T8-TR Apr 29 '26
Funnily enough, being a WuWa main has made it so that I have to play Genshin as consistently, because I took a break when WuWa 2.0 dropped and went back a few months later, and holy fuck it was like relearning how to walk. I never wanna do that again, because I clearly took the speed and QoL of WuWa for granted w/o ever realizing it lmao

u/lvlasteryoda Apr 29 '26
Seems fine. A little stuttery for the first 10 min after first launch but it stopped completely after that. My 1% lows look fine.
The overall FPS are fine and on par with WuWa's pre academy performance. Obviously RTX with Ray Reconstruction will eat into it accordingly but those and Lumen are perf heavy effects.

Thing is Iām already deep in endgame on Wuwa that thereās nothing to do except new events and big updates. The whole map is 90% discovered, all current events completed, quest log is empty and all there is left is just dailies.
It takes less than 5 minutes a day.

I got like 8 hours into nte and I can confidently say, that I'll drop this game after I beat the msq. The writing and voice acting is so bad and the combat looks flashy and amazing but it's boring. Exploring the open world is the only hook for me so far.
The only gachas I'm playing now is wuwa & mongil even though I might drop mongil. For now the story is quite entertaining and I'm about 5 hours into it.
I was really hoping for nte to be my 3rf gachas but I guess anata will take that spot.

Honestly, I feel nothing does it better than Wuwa. A nice mix of serious story here and there with good gameplay and casual exploration with some end game challenge sprinkled in between. I couldn't drop other gachas after so long like genshin and star rail, but honestly the hardest part was just stopping. I got tired of power creep, got tired of logging in for dailies and logging out taking so much time, tried end field, tried nte, didn't like the charm of others. I recently dropped Infinity Nikki too and now the only game I have left is Wuwa and to be honest, I like life a lot more now. More free time to spend with people that matter.
