Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
102 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Around that point in the game, you've most likely collected enough vanguards to overpower most of it, but the framework for more interesting gameplay is there, and the devs are really treating the game as a REAL community gacha game.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
93 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I like the theme of interacting with my team, and the way they are integrated into the story.
Monetization
Players who bring up Monetization mostly praise it.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Horizon Walker is very friendly compared to other gacha games on the casual aspect, and this applies to their gacha system.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
65 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Blatant auto-idler ripoff of Azur Lane, but in 3D and with BOOBA and a better feeling turn based combat sandbox, rather than a bullet hell.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its a great looking game with some obvious care to the graphics and environments, but this game suffers from the "we can't let you play the game aside from daily logins because spending money is the only way to play" syndrome.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combination of tactical gameplay, character progression, and ongoing updates provides reasons to return, particularly for players interested in collecting and developing a full roster.
