Playing this shxt took 12 years 7 months 16 days 22 hours 37 minutes and 37 seconds off of my life. if anyone defends this shxt you LITERALLY have no self respect. Dev response to issues does not make the game good. it makes service good. service and product are not the same thing.
So like most players, you don't fully understand the element system and how it's extremely beneficial for your dps by changing the enemy's element.... neat It's always fascinating watching any Fandom fanboys talk shit about products other than theirs, they think is shows the products flaws, but it actually shows their ignorance. And yes the game has alot of flaws but he somehow managed to dodge them all.
LUL GAMES JUST BAD AND I DONT LIKE IT. IVE POINTED OUT WHERE THE GAME FAILS AND HOW IT CAN IMPROVE SO FEEL FREE TO REWATCH THE VIDDY, OTHERWISE HAVE A GOOD ONE
I've never played the game tho It may be crappy with all his combat mechanics and the store(micro transactions), but I wanted to comment on the fact that NEW games(skipping the fact that it was in development for 7 years) ofcourse inspire by things that are Already done by OTHER games I mean cmon we live in 2025 and most things look at the end to eachother because if u draw a Big Blue Muscled Guy, you literally can say 'Hey look that looks like HULK but in BLUE!' and Yes I think thats actually the right thing to do because almost like I said earlier almost all games do that nowadays, its even better if they do it right and take their inspiration from the GOOD games and not just ONE game Which would be a Rip-off at the end.. and I see that Astra did actually do a good thing here, nothing to be mad on by seeing things that look like the characters from a game we know, and I mean it is a gacha game right?? So we can't be mad that you Need to swap characters to complete a certain 'Chapter' or a 'Boss' because you don't meet the required Element with ur Favorite character, I mean it is not an MMO we used to play with just One Character and complete the story with it, in those type of games we need to get lucky and get good Rolls on the Summons as off I know..
YOU RAISE GREAT POINTS! AND I WAS VERY EXCITED FOR THE GAME AT 1ST, BUTT ITS THE FACT THAT THE GAME TAKES THAT "INSPIRATION" AND DOESNT REALLY ELEVATE IT IN ANY WAY, PLUS ALOTTA OTHERS FACTORS THAT MAKE IT FEEL LAZY. BUTT I REALLY APPRECIATE YA WATCHIN FAM!
Just came to this video....looks like the content creator here isnt exactly wrong that the gane is terrible... just look at the state of the game now. I wont be surprised of it goes EOS after another year or less.
I kinda understand the idea behind the resistance to damage, to rotate your characters or to run teams with 2 or more DPS and actually expand the team building, creating a team that builds that resistance for bosses and then switch to your main DPS to nuke the boss. Why? Cause that resistance system works like this. When an enemy gainst elemental resistance he is almost inmune to that element but reduces to 0 the resistance to the disvantage element of that shield. For example, when the enemy gains resistance to Light, Darkness attacks now deal tons of damage, when gets Darkness resistance Blood attacks now wil ldeal tons of damage. I must admit is an interesting idea, the problem? the explanation and the early execution is really really bad, you actually learn about that in mid-late game when you have more characters and bosses are just HP walls, learn it or leave. As for the gatcha system... is bad, plain bad. No 50-50 or secured, the game feels like forces you to get dupes of characters and weapons, unlike Hoyo's games were a character and a weapon without dupes are so freaking good and usable. Here the unique weapons feels like a scam without any dupe and only at Max Dupes they look really good. I was a fan of the first game before the whole power creep drama (yes, this is the second game of a story, the first one is called "Dragon Blaze" but due some problems with the publisher of the Global version, they had to rename it out of Korea to "Astra: Knights of veda" the original name is "Dragon Blaze 2: Knights of Veda", Veda herself was a playable character on the first game and Deathcrown was the main antagonist, then protagonist of the first game) but this one doesn't feels that good.
Not really fair - you failed to mention the devs making TONS of changes and being actively responding to the community - taking feedback and adjusting to help players Elemental system is there to encourage you to have team variety - you need to play this game different it’s not just a smash the keyboard and win but seeing as you’re a genshin player it makes sense that you don’t know how to properly build a team and or characters in order to overcome an obstacle But I’ll give you the no content thing lol
so you’re definition of “encouraging to have team variety” is punishing players when they don’t have team variety? sounds like cope buddy. their elemental system is just an excuse to push players to use money and time to invest in a “variety of characters” to adapt to their system
@@deliswish the point of a game f2p or any game is to push people to spend money so that argument is really invalid The elemental thing works multiple ways and there’s multiple ways around it. 100% add friends in the game and use the correct elemental advantages-always bring a counter to your advantage regardless. If you don’t have a counter to the stages element still bring an elemental counter to your strongest dps For instance bring eliyar to a poison dungeon even though she is adv to dark she can proc the res shield on the target - then you bring a light on your team which is counter to blood so when the res procs on boss you can burn it down with the counter smart game play adapting instead of boohoo devs I’m not good let me have easy / don’t think the only alternative to being good at something is based on how much money can be thrown at it
@@deuceex1492 bro the point of games is to enjoy its content and what it provides like what💀 if you need to spend money to enjoy a game then that’s not a good game at all. games like csgo, league of legends, fortnite, and etc,. are all f2p games and don’t push players to spend money. your argument is trying to justify how games like astra are as greedy as genshin but can’t even deliver the same quality as genshin. that’s why honkai star rail got the hype it did when it released because of its quality and deliverance to their audience. in-game purchases should be optional not NECESSARY for gameplay and to enjoy the game. 7 years in development and a punishment system to use various characters (which costs money and time for decent ones) is the best that they could come up with is embarrassing.
LMFAO! "TONS OF CHANGES" YET THEY COULDNT MAKE ANY OF THOSE CHANGES DURING 7 YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT💀! ELEMENTAL SYSTEM IS A RESTRICTIVE SYSTEM IT DOES NOT "ENCOURAGE" IT [PUNISHES] WHICH IS SUBJECTIVELY UNFUN TO ME, MY FRIENDS, AND A BUNCH OF OTHER PEOPLE! AND YOU PASSIVELY AGGRESSIVELY SAY "I DONT KNOW HOW TO BUILD A TEAM" LIKE THIS ISNT A MOBILE GAME WHICH YOU CAN JUST POWER THRU WITH MONEY
Im watching this as the game download right now I hope it a good game just because the fact I have nothing else to do in genshin I mean the visual are cool
Bad review you clearly don't understand the elemental system and how to form your team in this game. Multiple gacha games copy the genshin system( wuthering wave snowbreak reverse 1999 and others). this game is super free to play friendly whit tones of free summoning currency. and the paimon concept genshin din't created that many adventure games has followers (ratchet and clank, jax, zelda ......)
LMFAO! THE ELEMENTAL SYSTEM IS CHEEKS AND LIMITS PLAYER FREEDOM! AND YES THEY DID COPY PAIMON EVEN DOWN TO HER DESIGNS THE SAME WAY THEY COPIED EVERYTHIGN ELSE FROM GENSHIN LIKE TOWER OF ABYSEE AND THE GACHA SYSTEM! GLAD YA ENJOY THE GAME, BUTT ITS A SINKING SHIP SO HAVE FUN WHILE IT LASTS, THANKS FOR WATCHIN THO
the game could've been so good , if only they did not make it a crap copy of genshin and the worst part it is so fking restrictive , cant have more than 5 boots , cant win more than 100 pvp games etc , im guesssing in the next year (if not EOS by than) and make some good qol it will be a decent game
Out of all the things I dislike about this game, the discount Paimon that constantly speaks as if she is you I personally find SUPER VEXXING. Nevermind her constant insults towards you, the player... Belle/Mini Veda takes away my immersion and suspension of disbelief
You can't compare this game to Genshin Impact. Genshin Impact is already several years old, whereas Astra has only been out for a few months. Plus, they are two very different types of games. Lastly, the farming and growth system is similar because it is based on mathematical models that must connect many things. I respect the fact that you didn't like it, but you should be a little more objective.
GENSHIN WAS IN DEVELOPMENT FOR 3YEARS, THIS GAME WAS IN DEVELOPMENT FOR 7. 2 TYPES OF GAMES, BOTH GACHAS. ASTRA HAS INLCUDED MORE RNG MECHANICS WHILE DOING SOME IN MORE TEDIOUS MANNER
@@Atomfactorr well the problem s that you dont know anything from this game .... Cash grab? well i have enough hours in a game and i can say you no need invest even a penny here to grow and progress.... game is giving enough to get in 6 month like 5 - 7 legendary heroes. later even more... you no need to buy monthly passes and no need to invest money here. So you are trying to make review with your level i cant remember 30 - 40 .. wtf.. you so stupid. every Gacha game is asking for investments, but not this one, all what you need is time .
@@Atomfactorr well i can say this is maybe only one gacha game where you can play as free to play player and keep content up without spending even penny... you just collect stars and later get some legendary heros... and most of heros here can clear content... yes there was problems with getting damage while you are not standing in red circle ( dont know is it fixed or not, because i don care ) I just wana say that you dont have enough experience in this game and your knowledge here is zero! this is not review it is first impresions! So in end you are really bad content creator. Next time need to think what you are saying... BAD BAD BAD xaxxax :D
@@Atomfactorr I mean, it also has a 4.2 out of 5 rating on the Google store, and 4.6 on the Apple Store. (For comparison, Genshin has 3.6 on both stores, so... Going by this metric, I'd assume Astra is better than Genshin?) Also, you know what game has nearly 2k Steam reviews, and 81% postive scores? Sex with Hiter. And the sequel scores even higher. Seriously,though, Steam reviews say more about whether a game meets the player's expectations than whether or not it's good. I believe the main reason why Astra scores so low is because it looks like a Vanillare game, and people come in expecting a free Dragon's Crown... And they get a mobile gacha game instead, with all the BS that comes attached. And most Steam players have a very low tolerance level towards mobile / gacha BS. That said, by gacha game standards... This is actually one of the better games I've played in a while. And I believe it does enough to stand out from other games in the space. You don't think the comparison you made to Genshin (making it sound like Genshin was something completely revolutionary while Astra is completely derivative) is truly fair. I mean, Genshin itself is basically a combination of a bunch of elements from other gacha games and Zelda Breath of the Wild. What made Genshin stand out wasn't really any original idea they had, (well, aside from the elemental reaction system, maybe) but the fact that no one before had this combination of ideas, with AAA production values on a "free" mobile game. And as for Astra... I do believe they have a niche of their own. I mean, even if you can point a lot of titles that handled one aspect similarly before, can you think of any other 2D Beat-em-up gacha games with an artstyle more reminescent of Vanillaware games than cutesy anime girls? (Serious question. If you know of any, I'd like to give them a try. ^^;) And I get that this has a much more niche appeal compared to Genshin, but... I've actually been having more fun with Astra than any other gacha that came out since HSR, at least so far. Especially since i started understanding the combat system better. If you treat it like an "traditional" fast-paced action game and try to solo everything with a single character... You will probably have a bad time. Instead, I've been having a lot more fun since I started leaving the game on semi-auto and treating it like a real time RPG, focusing more on team composition and picking the right character and skill for the right situation while still paying attention attention to your positioning. (Although this certainly won't appeal to everyone... Well, this goes back to what expectation you come with into this game.) As for the elemental shield issue you brought up... Well, this isn't Elden Ring. Switching between party memebers with different roles is a core mechanic of this game. And the shields actually reward the player as much as they punish them: by aplying an elemental shield, you make the enemy weakness match that particular element. For example, if you apply a blood shield on the enemy, they become weak against light elemental attacks. So... If you are willing to give the game another shot at some time, and you enjoy playing as ranged characters the most, I highly recomend you try going for Aurora (the light elemental archer) before her banner comes out, since her kit complements Eliyar really well. I do agree that the amount of damage you took from hitting the elemental shield used to be way to much, though. Fortunately, they vastly improved it in the latest patch, and it's now viable to brute force it and keep attacking with the same character if you really don't want to switch. (Switching to right element will reward you, but if you don't... It won't punish you nearly as much as before.) As for the gacha rates... I don't think they are that big of a deal, tbh. I mean, it could be better, but at least they copied HSR system instead of Genshin, and they give away much more free currency than either game, even if it's not as frondloaded as most other gachas. Also, I don't feel like there is a huge power gap between the standard characters and the limited one, at least so far. I do agree the game desperately needs more content and endgame aside from PvP and gear farming, though. Although, if the biggest issue I have with a game is that I wish I could play more, this isn't the worst problem in the world. Well, if you find yourself unable to enjoy the game... All I can say is, that's a shame. But I do think this title has gotten way more flack than it deserves, and that has more to do with the gap between expectations and reality rather than a pure evaluation of the game's quality. And I also believe the game has greatly improved since launch. Anyway, sorry for the wall of text. Have a good one!
@@joaomarcoscosta4647 man wrote a chat gpt explanation it’s not that deep. also “has better ratings than genshin so must be better than genshin”, astra didn’t even reach 1k ratings yet and you’re comparing it to genshin which has over half a million ratings and is top 25 on app store charts. what are you comparing with that exactly?
gacha game needs a limiting factor so you hit that artificial wall so you almost HAVE to spend money Spent 7 years on that planet in Interstellar so really they spent an hour developing lmao

Anyway, sorry for the wall of text.
Have a good one!
@@joaomarcoscosta4647 man wrote a chat gpt explanation it’s not that deep. also “has better ratings than genshin so must be better than genshin”, astra didn’t even reach 1k ratings yet and you’re comparing it to genshin which has over half a million ratings and is top 25 on app store charts. what are you comparing with that exactly?
gacha game needs a limiting factor so you hit that artificial wall so you almost HAVE to spend money
Spent 7 years on that planet in Interstellar so really they spent an hour developing lmao
