, and just came out six days ago, and only on mobile, and only in Japan at the moment. That’s a series of provisos if I’ve ever seen one! It’s also a gacha game (surprisingly, dealing with just weapons instead of characters, as the latter are brought directly with currency), and features turn-based combat. To celebrate the two-million-players mark, the company is giving players 1,000 of in-game mithril currency (which it says is used for “gacha and stamina recovery”) — so if you do play, log in and grab the gift.

Details for a global edition have not been announced, but I’d definitely give it a shot, especially if the gacha element isn’t tied to characters. I’m really just happy to see this series live on in some way, even if that involves a Japan-first mobile project. It’s crazy to me that the original came out in 2012 and kicked everything off, and that we just recently got a mainline entry in early 2021.
