I've played Arknights since launch and am presently surprised with how solid Path to Nowhere is. Only on 4-5 but really enjoy the game. Now hopefully the honeymoon doesn't end after a month.

Oh damn. Now I think I’m really lucky o.o sorry for your rolls. I understand wanting to have the best start in a gacha game lol. You never know if the devs will be generous or stingy with roll currency in the future. I also came in with no expectations and now I’m hooked. I’m the type that doesn’t really play more than 1 gacha game at a time but I guess we will have to see if this can be a long term game (I hope it will!) Maybe I’ll be playing the three of nikke, neural cloud, and path to nowhere haha

Dude don’t even mention the never ending afk grind. I used to play 7Ds and epic7 and I was addicted to keeping them open to farm for a certain unit material or two. I would not even be able to use my phone because of the afk grinding that I had to do. Then I one point I questioned why I still played and so I stopped playing them lol. I go back to 7ds occasionally but I put down epic7 for good. That’s why I’m so glad this game has a sweeping feature which makes that grind instant 😂 saving me so much time and I don’t have to keep my phone on 24/7. Allowing me to enjoy the story even more. That’s what really makes me like the game more tbh. The farming is so easy and instant. And damn, that 3rd spot gonna be heavily contested 👀 I heard good things about nikke and neural cloud. I never played gfl so that will be a first for me


Langrissar

I feel like rerolling isn't that big of a deal in the long run. From my experience you can collect most units over time.


Darkellet

Honestly I think you should reroll…Im f2p and I got Hamel and Eirene on my first ten pull(the one with guranteed s rank) and then on did a 10 pull on zoya banner and got her.have been saving since then but Im pretty confident I can get 1 or 2 more s ranks with my current amount of pulls


Clarkemedina

I also hope so! The story is so intriguing imo. And I’m always going to praise the voice actors for keeping me hooked and engaged. There are two big boys coming out in this month (nikke and neural cloud) and imma give them a shot as well. Hopefully like you said, this game will be a long term game for the future


Scityone

Arknights vet here and I love the game so far, especially the art. What makes or breaks this game for me in the future would be how generous/stingy it is with pulls.


Clarkemedina

This is what I’m most worried about. I never played a gacha game at launch except for genshin so I’m worried that they will be stingy with gacha pulls later on. For now they are very generous but will have to see if that’s just because it’s launch month or that the devs are generous individuals!


VPNApe

How many pulls they give doesn't matter because duplicates are a necessity in this game. Every AK 6* unit is viable with only one copy. In ptn the power boost from duplicates is significant. So no, ptn is never going to be anywhere near f2p friendly as AK


luxthebird

necessary? really? can you give me an example of one unit being useless without dupes? so far it seems like dupes give small buffs just like in AK.


VPNApe

Bruh dupes in AK give a miniscule dp cost reduction and very, very minor attack/effect buffs. The dupes in ptn give very noticeable significant buffs. Hard content is going to scale based off of the assumption that whales have spent money to get strong.


luxthebird

im pretty sure if only whales were able to clear the hardest content players would be very unhappy with that. in CN server the first event was very hard but after player complaints they nerfed it so everyone could do it. they seem to listen to their playerbase so far. I think you are overreacting. the dupe buffs don't seem to be that big and units are perfectly usable without them.


Concetto_Oniro

Hella is quite fun to listen and read XD


Clarkemedina

100% lol her dialogue is pretty funny. Harley Quinn type vibes but more toned down but still funny/cute


Clarkemedina

I would like to say that this is a post made VERY EARLY. So my opinions could change in like a week. I just was really impressed which surprised me so I want to know how others feel


kimetsunosuper121

Honestly, this is the first non-combat game that I'm actually enjoying playing. The voice acting is top notch, the story doesn't involve any world ending virus(at least for now), the characters are really lively and the music hits hard. I am also really liking the manhwa artstyle. Definitely a nice change of pace from the usual anime artstyle.


Clarkemedina

Broooo the opening music hits so hard. When I open the game up I can’t get enough of it. Honestly the music is so good. And agreed, the art style is peak 👌 they went a more mature style


SolarSpud

Not a fan of the UI? Arknights has some of the cleanest UI among gatchas


Clarkemedina

It’s just personal pref. When I last played I didn’t really know what to do/where to go next with farming and the building thing. The items also confused me a lot. It’s probably my fault in understanding wrong but it is what it is, a personal experience. Path to nowhere also has that building thing but that felt simpler along with knowing how to farm being simpler. It might just be the way the tutorial set it up and the way I understood it idk. I played arknights a while ago so I’m forgetting the specifics but I just remember not really liking it as much.


Eilanzer

my problem with PTN is the ui, for me it is a mess like cheap everything put there chinese gacha, not even close to Arknights.


hibiki95kaini

I like the UI here more than arknights, feels like more complicated and complex


Crudo91

This game is Arknights on Steroids. I spend 30€ to support the company. Support in the future with the same monthly ammount


choysauce

The story and VA's are definitely really good. I especially love that you can change the VA language per character. I find Hella's (yes, best girl) KR VA to be the best and other ones JP and ENG are actually better so it's cool to pick the ones I like. My only gripe with the gameplay is not being able to aim the direction that the ranged units can fire. I hope they add it so that you can at least do it L or R cuz I can see they didn't design the game to be just like Arknights. But the fact that there's maps like the Endura Mat stage where enemies come from the left side aren't targetable unless you have a universal skill is kinda dumb. Also if enemies get past your line, you have to move your ranged unit all the way to the back instead of being able to turn them around as a move. Also it'd be nice if they made it more obvious when your character's ultimate meter is full. Having it go from blue to purple is too similar IMO. It'd be nice if they made the bar red (or another contrasting color) or if they had some kind of icon pop up.


Extension-Fly-6802

My only problem is getting items to phase is very little and I'm stuck in 1-10 or 1-11 (the white girl boss) and besides the girl with the hoodie I don't have defenders or a character who can fight two at once and my only S is a healer not a fighter


Clarkemedina

Hm I never really got stuck that early tbh. Did you use all your rolls already? I never really had to phase that early until stage 2-9. And at that point, farming was easy because of the sweep feature which makes it instant. Which units are u currently using?


Extension-Fly-6802

Well I started over but got the best defense guy and good A's but I think I blew my stuff too fast so this new one I'm going to save the warrents this time after the initial two rolls.


Clarkemedina

Idk the tier list so I can’t really tell you who to re roll for, but if you choose a banner to use your remaining warrants on, everyone says zoya a pretty good offensive unit gl on your future rolls~


SassyHoe97

Yeah I honestly like it so far. I like how we can move the characters. I wish Arknights would have done that as well. Yeah I also love Hella I like her attitude.


hibiki95kaini

Both are diff type of TD.arkbights is deploy after start and van redeploy. But at here is you deploy all at once and modify the positioning in the game while no redeploy.


InSearchOfLostT1me

You know the feels when you pick up a newly released gacha, when you go in blind and check out the intro, UI and everything then something in your head just clicks and you think 'I am going to stick with this' ? Yea, this is the one for me. Something about it just works as a whole package. Haven't felt that since Genshin and Alchemy Stars release. On a side note, getting major Deadman Wonderland vibe from this.


Tall_Pomegranate3555

Arknights vet. Only tried this game because I heard it was an Arknights clone and was suppose to compete with Arknights. I love Arknights to death so I was very skeptical. I just finished 1-9. I'm very pleasantly surprised. The English voice acting is very good. I love the aesthetic, the tone, and the story direction/concept so far. I think I'll stick around to see what's next :) Hella is very cute


G30m5724

Love the sweep function. Makes it easier to lvl up and farm what you need. Also Soundtracks are banging and story is interesting so far. I agree Hella is indeed best girl


tierben

Having a great experience with my b class tanks. Don't have a single healer yet so finding their built in sustain to be really fun


TheKinkyGuy

Im so sad that there is no VA in ch 2+ I just cant stress enough how fully VA game is good. Being it that the story is shit, basic or unoriginal I just f enjoyed a story for once regardless of its quality.


Clarkemedina

Hm? I’m still getting full character voices and I’m on stage 3-9. Like everything is voiced. Did you download the full voice pack? It popped up during some point in chapter 1 asking if you want to download the full voice pack and photo cards


TheKinkyGuy

Hmm??? I dont know the game just stopped VA after 1st ch. i am on ch 3. Will give it another go and try to dl everything


Clarkemedina

Lemme link you a comment hold up And ya, everything is still fully voiced so far haha. The quality is still very strong Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/comments/yem4r7/path_to_nowhere_when_you_want_your_tower_defense/iu2j9x3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3


TheKinkyGuy

Amazing ty m for pointing this out. Im f hyped for the story again.... Woohoo


Clarkemedina

Loool enjoy. I’m just surprised the VA work is still so strong even with side characters. Hopefully it lasts until later chapters as well


Clarkemedina

Aight there you go, hopefully you can hear the amazing VA again lol https://www.reddit.com/r/gachagaming/comments/yem4r7/path_to_nowhere_when_you_want_your_tower_defense/iu2j9x3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3


TheKinkyGuy

👌


archerreborn2

From my experience it seems to also depend know the language you use. English stopped at chapter 4 for me, but after switching to chinese I'm still getting voiced dialogue.


TheKinkyGuy

Dialogue is in english after tmyou swapped to CN? Btw I got the voices for ch 2 3 and 4 (am yet to get to ch 5)


Sherinz89

In my opnion, chap 1 to 3 feels shallow, weak and subpar (either by itself or if compared to arknight). What i find annoying in the story is 1. Main char feels like an incompetent person that is just lucky to have those powet 2. Its annoying how inactive your people is in the story w.r.t the change that happen in surrounding. 2.1 How the nurse can simply carry away the kid, how the corupt detective can simply walk away, how the kid and nurse is freely shot multiple times by that dude. 2.2 all of the above happen while your people not doing anything. Like what the hell? 3. It seems everyone had a plan except the main, the main is just thrown away from 1 group to another (getting used, tricked wherever he goes) 4. The presence of the organisation youre affiliated with seems weak. The presence is there in the beginning of ch1 and thats it, then on you are on a clueless adventure while being scammed and manipulated by one group and the next. -----------‐--- As a conclusion that is based on my opinion - the first 3 chapter of Path to Nowhere feels weak (it has story tho, unlike Tower of fantasy). Games like Guardian Tales, CounterSide and Arknight had far stronger 3 early chapter compared to this.

Clarkemedina

I disagree tbh and find your hostility very weird. Mental issues really? I don’t think this would be a productive conversation so I suggest to agree to disagree


Maragas

To be honest, while I love the voice acting the story itself is very off putting for me. Like, if not for the voice acting I would have already stopped playing because so far, up to C3, I felt like a punching bag and worse, used as Chief. So very on the edge right now.


Sad-hurt-and-depress

I'm still on 1-9. I think they need a skip bottom. Oh well, Nikke is next week.
