Is Sword of Convallaria Free-to-Play Friendly or Pay-to-Win? | AndroidPAW Reviews
Sword of Convallaria Demo Review here: ua-cam.com/video/u73_aKae7no/v-deo.html
If you love Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre and crave that nostalgic Tactical RPG experience then Sword of Convallaria is for you. It’s a Tactical RPG with Gacha elements brought to us by XD. The makers of Torchlight: Infinite.
So for those who haven’t seen my demo review of Sword of Convallaria, you can check it out in the description. It covers some of the topics we’re going to cover here so I’ll glaze over those instead of fully going in-depth.
Sword of Convallaria is a good game on its own. The game’s story has an interesting take where you play the present in the game’s free-to-play section called the Spiral of Destinies while you learn more about the past in the energy based section called the Fool’s Journey. Having branching storylines in the Spiral of Destinies mode creates room for replayability and being able to unlock cutscenes rewards players with the in-game currency while in the Fool’s Journey, you get rewards for clearing stages the first time. The gameplay loop here is that once you run out of energy to use in the Fool’s Journey, you can then jump into the Spiral of Destinies to pass some time and have fun there. Each mode has their individual roster of units you can use however you can bring any 3 three units from your Gacha Team to the Spiral of Destinies to spice up your experience.

Hype intro, great video… I’m going to touch you.
Please no touching. You already planned a TPK.
What's your thoughts on the game's launch? Do you think this game would be a huge hit? Let me know what you think!
Broooo I love your review!! Will try this for sure!!
Thank you so much. For the Sword of Corned Beef. Let's go!
this actually the best review ive watched. i really like for MMO game, they still focus on tiny details on horror stuff, make you appreciate the dev more but still, the prime war lag and no cross server can be frustrating
Yo thank you so much. I appreciate it ♥️ Prime war really suffers. For a mode that brings players together it really needs to fix that lag plus bugs
"Pahawa diri choi" bisaya kaayung dako HAHAHAHAHHAA
Kaayo! 🤣🤣🤣 Bisaya gaming is real diri.
Good video 👍
dude what is fun in shooting brainless ennemy and easy boss, this fraud need to stop the game has massive bad review and some weirdo find it fun for some reason
If difficulty is an issue, they recently opened up the HARD MODE for dungeons and bosses. Pro mode is coming soon too. Steam's mostly positive rating would also like to disagree with you but hey to each their own. Maybe it's not the game for you, you know. 👌
@@androidpaw nah it's not just difficulties on its own it's more the complexities and the sophistication it feel cheap especially the boss that are so easy and predictable that's its not fun and i have objective review of this game because i plaid a lot and i can see their is no real effort this game is a patchwork of different game and doesnt do a good alchemy. Plus for the review 16000 negative review 41000 positive but completly brainless review like "I love the game " "the game is so fun" cmon
@@grimjows35 I understand your point. In my opinion, the game lacks optimization, some enemy designs feel uninspired like the basic zombie and basically the gameplay loop can be quite repetitive. I get that. It's basically an MMO at this point though just mixed in with a base building mechanic. I totally appreciate your input too. Thanks for sharing your viewpoint on the game. I am guilty for that game is fun review lol. The game just needs to fix it's core gameplay mechanics, monetization issues and that season wipe but other than that. Let's hope the devs don't screw this up.
@@grimjows35sounds like you're bitching just to bitch and feel important
while i agree to this, the game does have wide features, even monster hunter only added like 3 or 4 new monster per generation
Oh no! They made a mobile game with... mobile game controls. What a concept
🤣🤣🤣 Didn't really stop other games to optimize for pc or consoles tho. gotta hand it to XD anyways for making a good looking game.
It The Day Before But it playable and actually work 👌
RIP The Day Before. You will not be missed lol. Once Human is infinitely better. Thanks for watching
@@androidpaw the more I see this game, the more I think the dev of this game be like: “See the day before? Let’s make it real”
They're really passionate about the game TBH. You should see their dev logs and the dev talk they had with piratesoftware. Total opposite to what the devs of The Day Before are.
This is a good video covering a lot of the core of the game!
Thank you! The core gameplay is fun tbh. It's a little bit of cozy with a tinge of horror and and tablespoon of action mixed together.
The gacha element makes it an instant "nope" for me, but the endurance thing on top of that makes me wonder if the whole world has gone insane.
I totally get you. I just wish they had a version of this similar to MegaMan X Dive. Have everything ready to play for a full price.
You’re telling me I can fight monstrosities and commit war crimes against other players? Sign me up!
Absolutely. Now join the hive. Also are you salted spam or non salted spam?
@@androidpaw straight from the can spam
Wild 🤣
Great video man! screw all you unsalted spam lovers! ahahah
Salted Spam supremacy
2% gacha rate to me is basically 5%. I’m very lucky in gachas so I’ll be checking it out and trying my luck. Also I love pixel art games a lot. Grew up with the FF games.
Well that's some good RNG you got there. Wishing you luck with the starting banner for Soc!
Almost similar to browndust2... But less lewd..🤣🤣
Yooooo that's funny lol. I looked up Brown Dust 2 and man the artwork is CRAZY.
Final Fantasy Tactics with Radiant Historia story.
Yo I can't believe I missed that. That's so true. It's kinda like how you play Ragnarok Tactics too except with Ragnarok tactics you have to play through everything all over again lol.
I played the demo and it's really fun. I can't wait to dive into the game on the full release. The non-gacha branching story mode is basically a full game unto itself and you don't even have to pay for it. It's pretty amazing that we get to enjoy this beautifully made game totally for free :)
Really looking forward to the full release. Can't wait to go deeper into the story and find out which endings go sideways and if we can fix those lol. I totally agree with the non-gacha part being it's own game. It deserves a 40USD or 50USD price tag tbh. Neopixel game go hard
Greedy devs + nostalgia appeal giving me such a mixed feelings, not to mention after such a long await time they still botch on the translation. Might still try it for the story, but if its been gatekeep by the greedy gacha mechanics then I would probably rides the down-voting train.
I feel you. Well coming from the studio that also made a Gacha-ish version of Torchlight. SoC would've just been an awesome game on it's own without the Gacha but man, almost every good game has to be some sort of live service nowadays.
heard of it and thought i might give it a try..and now i learned it's gacha..and i will say nah. i have tried playing f2p but that pain and regret at not being able to pull from a nice banner when you haven't saved enough is not a feeling i like having.
I can agree. It kinda happened to me when I played genshin impact and star rail. Only upside here is its own free to play campaign which doesn't really need a 5* from the banner. If only this was its own game for maybe 35 or 40. It might've been a smash
@@androidpaw i definitely would've paid for it even if it was at 50, tbh. i am a sucker for tactical games
I totally feel you. Tactics are just really fun. Can't wait for the Final Fantasy Tactics remake whenever that happens.
can't wait to try this, the gacha is the only downside. I'm willing to pay to play this game and not be a gacha game, oh well if that makes the game with regular updates then i guess its fine
Absolutely agree that the gacha is the downside. Game is good enough to be its own standalone ttrg. F2P replayability alone on this game is gonna be wild when you want to correct some mistakes you make.
If they dropped the gacha, then the game wouldnt be free
Totally understand and get your point however seeing the game's art and VFX plus the story which gives off that dark politcal vibe Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics has is worth at least 40 USD compared to paying for a battle pass which you might have to get monthly if you wanna spend money "lightly" in this game. I love the game and totally would love to support the devs if they decided to full on sell this instead of gacha but still a fun game nonetheless. :)
The stamina/key system is the worst part for me. I want to give it a chance but I already suspect I might quickly get too frustrated due to those. For other modern F2P games, those systems only prevent you from accesing "side content" usually for grinding purposes, but at least you can take on as many main missions as you want, which doesn't seem to be the case for this one (unless I misunderstood something).
I totally agree. The key and stamina kind of gatekeeps content and also slows down your progress. On launch I'm sure the keys are going to be hard to grind but the F2P section has tons of stuff to do. Stamina is a bitch to balance tbh. It's a weird restriction imposed on players who like to play their fave units. You can do a lot of missions in the F2P part. Once you reach the end of a scenario you need to have a key ready. I'm just hoping it's not grindy as all hell.
From what I’ve seen with many reviews the keys are easy to get and rarely needed. If you just want the story mode you can spend the game currency on more keys instead of pulling for characters. I think it’s worth playing even if it is a gatcha. I personally moved away from mobile gatcha games but I’m 100 percent giving this one a go.
@@hamptonbt Yo! That's awesome. At least that saves the trouble of trynna farm them. I did see it was 100 in game currency but sometimes that urge for a lucky 1 pull does feel strong lol. Cant wait for the launch tho.
What do you think of the game? SoC is just super good looking and IMHO, I'd play this casually without spending just for the story portion alone. Will you be trying this out?
I’m 31 and have been gaming all my life… Octopath Traveler 2 was a very special experience for me, and the first game I ever felt the drive to 100% complete.
Octopath Traveler really hits that spot to be honest. It's just too good of a game. Glad to see a fellow lover of the OT Series.
SO CUTE! You got me with the frog hat, and the breaking bottles task 🤣
Right?! Cat life is fr the best life. RIP bottles IRL
My math about party combs: There are 8 characters with 1 fixed main job. Each character could have 1 out of 11 (different than the main) secondary jobs or could not have a job at all, if they so choose. So 12 variants for each character. For the first party slot you could choose from 8 characters, for the second slot from 7 and so on. Each character have 12 variants. So basically we have (8*12)*(7*12)*(6*12)*(5*12) / (1*2*3*4) the division is to account for the order and the fact that it does not matter. We have 1 451 520 different party formations at least in my calculations. I also did not take into account that you cannot have 4 characters have the same secondary job (it's 3 top iirc). I cannot solve how to do it, so someone better at math should help with that.
Now when I think about it, it might be that 4 of the jobs could be used only once as a secondary job. So the number should be (8*12)*(7*11)*(6*10)*(5*9) / (1*2*3*4) And this might roughly be taking into acccount the jobs used too many times problem as well. Most probably doesn't though. So we actually have 831 600 combinations in this case.
My mind is blown by this. Thank you for the solution and that is actually a whole lot bigger than what I thought the party combinations would be. Potential 800k upwards to a million is just absolutely wild. I totally appreciate you taking the time to solve that problem. This is just amazing.
Those musics

I blame the CN community for the Rover glazers plot. they were complaining about how everyone is so mean to Rover at the beginning and this prompted the devs to re write the entire story
Okay, I can see that. I wish they kind of kept a little of that hostility until they finally warmed up to the Rover when they defeat the Threnodian. Praying that the upcoming stories are going to be written better!
I just have had this same one glitch where it will kick me out of the game
Yo that is wild. Its buggy but gotta admit the game play is fire
@@androidpaw literally everything else is fine for me but that happening randomly
Totally should report this to Kuro and perhaps they'd compensate you for the troubles. Hopefully it doesn't keep happening to you.
Did you discover any bugs in Wuthering Waves? Let me know and how cool or annoying that bug was? Sound off in the comments!
Loved this review
Yo thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Vibiest souls-like out there.
omg i was just thinking about this cos i saw so many friends started playing it owo
No cap it is very F2P friendly. You can play without spending at all combat-wise it is very action heavy. I'd recommend to try this post launch maybe a few months after but there's some good launch bonuses. :D
Gaddayum, this game looks like Genshin got DmC and souls mechanics AND pokemon? Imma let it mature a bit before picking it up
Okay I totally see the DmC parts now. Calcharro is Vergil confirmed?
Its good tho. Take it for a spin around the block.

21:47 if you are in this area and listen closely you can hear distant screens from the West those are from the workers that roll into said to keep a hold on the citizens that passed away
Thank you so much for this. I'll have to rerun the unfathom to hear this. I couldn't really pay attention to the noise because of that atmospheric music. It really got me in a chokehold.
11:37 funny enough they are claw crushers for eating crab
wait really? I totally thought it was a sort of plier. Inkerton now has a higher level of scary imho.
Just padding the video length by giving the history of D4? Waste of time, just get to the stuff that actually matters.
Thanks for the feedback. I actually have chapters laid down so people can just go to where it supposed to go.
I enjoyed the game but the difficulty for the campaign is so boringly easy ,it literally feels impossible to die I've been running low level gear just to feel something 🤣. Does it get harder in world tier 3?
World tier 4 is where the difficulty is going to be at. World tier 2 and 3 this time around felt like child's play tbh.
@@androidpaw thanks for getting back to me with this ,I don't think I can be bothered to push to 70 to unlock world tier 4 so I'll just play path of exile instead hahah have you played it ?
@@jamesbinks7380 I did play PoE. Great experience tbh and I love the complexity of the skill tree in PoE. Just waiting for PoE 2. The fastest way to hit 70 in D4 would be to have do dungeons with friends and helltides. It just churns out so much exp.

Gaddayum this makes me wanna play D4, at least its in a pretty playable state compared to when it was released
i'd say let's see whats going to happen before the DLC. right now it has a healthy balance of end game stuff compared to season 1.
Cool video, i think you might have missed the grovekeeper Topoda, he's located beyond Heikea
Actually found Topoda post my fight with Kril. In my head I was like "i'm sure I missed an NPC somewhere since I can't break any of these umami colored squares"
