Gacha games are a significant and influential gaming model that has enthralled modern mobile gamers.

Released early October, we finally got a chance to sit down with what can be considered revolutionary in its own genre.

You can also play several different modes, some which include a way to not even worry about the city and offer an endless crawl through the dungeon, unlocking…
