Updated as of 7-28-'24 Since I'm all of a sudden getting a lot of comments on this, YES my voice is horrendous in this video, even I think so. I have a habit of mubling whenever I talk, combined with my deep just makes it hard to follow. What I was trying to accomplish was adding emphasis on my words to make them sound more clear but I just never acknowledged that it was stretching the end of my sentences. I got comments on this literally next day the video came out and I just want to say, even though it was kind of rough to take in at first, I'm very greatful to get that criticism then and there since if you can see in my newer videos I've stopped doing that. So sorry to anyone who had to put up with that :\ Ok, there seems to be a lot of confusion so I'll just fiddle with it here. The original video title was "The best moblie game no one is playing" when basically everyone is pointing out that the game has 80 million downloads. So I changed the the title to be "The best mobile game no one is talking about". I just want to make it clear, YES, the community is still active and TONS of people talk about it there, but outside of that no one really talks about this game outside of random sponsorships. (When do you ever see a stranger pull out their phone and play tbc?) Although I wanted the YT tbc community to watch this video, it's main intent is to reach people who don't talk/know about this game. "Jizo has fellen off and isn't good anymore". Yes I'm aware of the growing meta, Jizo isn't in the spot light as he use to be. But he's still a very dependable unit especally in early game. Plus I only used him to prove my point in weird funny character designs. "The game is too grinding". I was actually going to make a whole section talking about the games flaws but the video was already 15 mins long. Plus every game has flaws so it's at least expected not everything will be perfect. This also goes for "why didn't you metioned this or that", I originally had a part in the script explaning the chapters and bit of lore, but it looked like it was going to add 4-5 mintues to an already long video so I scrapped it and other parts as well. At 3:30 I made a mistake on my part and didn't do enough research on Arknights and Genshin Impact to know their class rarity system or how those specific units are acquired. That's a mistake I made on my part. I did a little reserach and Wikipedia read but it wasn't enough so I'm sorry. But I did play FEH a long while back so I know what's going on there. Last, there's a bit of hate coming up from this video, it's expected with every growing video, I'm not too bothered with it.
You should've brought up how a new anti red unit allows you to completely skip early game and even some of mid game, and he's just a postman. That also would have been a great example of how some of the best units have funny designs.
I would like to point out there is some popular UA-camrs that play the battle cats and we also have the battle bricks which is the battle cats but roblox. (It says inspired by battle cats in the description)
I played battle cats since the beginning literally the first month of its release as a kid and cried once I beat the first chapter because of the cutscene 😂😂
As a person who has been playing battle cats for almost 5 years it was hard for me to find people who simply played the game or heard of it. It’s nice to see how far the game has come over the past years
I’m just now making it to mid SOL and the game has a insane difficulty spike, all the levels feel like puzzles with differents niches and playstyles needed to be beaten. 10/10 experience tho
TBC community has been growing and the content creators are starting to acnowledge each other, aswel as seeing the Spanish community wildly growing sometime in the recent past. As a fellow Battle Cats enjoyer, all I can say is: thank you for playing the cat game :D
Love how most cats end up getting a lot of use because of the trait niches. I haven’t played much of these side-scrolling tower games, but battle cats is amazing at encouraging players to constantly switch-up their cat lineups. That and the sheer enemy/cat variety makes this game pretty damn good. Oh also the gacha-elements are VERY lenient and not required to progress through the game.
Yeah the gacha system is one of my favorite things in the game, doesn't force you to use the highest class rarity, which prevents pay to win but also reflects how much ponos really cares for their players instead of seeing them as esay money.
@@Shizuna560super rares yes, but not ubers. But if you’re in late game, there’s no reason not to have all of the super rares in the regular gacha unless you deliberately avoid them. Even then it’s still entirely possible to beat most levels without any gacha units.
@@Shizuna560 But they also give very good units for free after beating certain stage. Not to mention just the amount of cat foods you will get from progressing, platinum tickets. It is more than enough. If you still don’t like it then go for seed tracking, almost guaranteed Ubers you want
Sorry if the audio appears ruff at times I'm still trying to figure that out. I also have a mic pop but it wasn't mic pop-ing, never buy cheap things on amazon.
All you need to know is this: You get cat Send cat out to defeat some insane animal that doesn't even look like an animal anymore Lose Go back in Lose again Get good And win That's all you need to know
Actually surprisingly up to date, tho one thing: Jizo does sweep early game to mid and late game, but from there he starts to fall off a bit as the stages become less spammy and more boss focus, also pizza and talented dark lazer don’t help much. If you want to get dated on that prospect, a better name for controversy incarnate: Dark kasli
@@christopherdangelo1292I would say dasli is the best Uber for UL but for late game event stages like heavenly tower and advents ubers like the phonos and balrog are slightly better, I personally use them more as I have most good ubers in the game
There's only so much I could talk about so I'll leave more info here. Even though this game isn't story focus, there's little snip bits of lore in stage names and character discriptions, it's nothing too intense, but it's interesting. Even if stages are formatted in 2-d, stages aren't played out by "send strong unit, strong unit kills boss, beat stage". A lot of stages puts you in your toes with different variables, like the money amount you're limited too based on how little units they send out, or having a boss with a deadly attack that activates when you hit it. This game isn't a push over, there are a ton of stages that make you want to chuck your device out the window. The game isn't pay to win, I went through the entire thing without spending a penny. Ponos is such a wonderful studio, nothing that they do or put out as marketing ever feels pushy or forced.
Everything about the game speaks about the uniqueness of good mobile games, plus they constantly have collabs with other franchises and GIVE OUT FREE STUFF SO OFTEN! (Cat food, xp)
I agree but with every game comes with cons. First of all, treasure grinding is incredibly boring and grindy, taking hours up to days of your life to do. They are always worth it to do but just annoying. (Empire of cats also has 3 chapters that are basically the same I think they should change chapter 2 and 3's stages a little bit) but beyond that point, the game becomes pretty fun to play and even more fun when you reach mid-late SOL. Theres also more cons I can talk about but im too lazy.
also you forgot some lore here titan cat is the father of baby cat (baby cats description) and princess punt is the mother of baby cat (from the great nyanko wars comics) kung fu x cat is baby cats grandfather (from his only cat combo “treasured grandchild” and herme is princess punts sister (1/4 of her sisters)
Ok 2 things to say 1 ponos dont really do much in terms of marketting mostly having collabs and the 3 unit poll vote most collabs they did are with dead games or actual cool stuff but other than that its really empty in terms of marketting they rely on word of mouth(like this video) and 2 Why is teacherbear Cat in the beggining when its showing a begginer loadouts thats a merciless advent unit💀
Super top tier game and a great video to showcase what makes this game so special. I’ve been playing since 2016 and I’ve somehow never gotten bored of it. Well done on this video btw!
It is a game that is everywhere yet nowhere at the same time Millions of players play it yet only 2-3 notible people can show it existence yet ther is a large community in it there are small yet important people contributing to this day This is what makes battle cats what it is
I'm addicted to this game like Walter White's magic blue crystals bro, this game is actually MAD underrated and the ONLY reason I haven't voluntarily left this planet.
As a Battle Cats Player who has been playing for 4 years, this is a game I always come back to and have a blast playing it, it’s a fun and can be challenging game that involves strategy.Unlike most other Pay to win games, Battle Cats is not Pay to win, and are actually overly generous with rewards, and make it easy for you to progress further into the game. I highly recommend this game to anyone interested. Side note: if you get the game, this august will be their 10th anniversary, which will have massive rewards for all players, a perfect time to join and would not want to miss out!
"When do you ever see a stranger pull out their phone and play tbc?" Quite a lot of times, actually. I'm constantly seeing people playing and talking about Battle Cats, it's a popular game, what's wrong with it? I'd like to ask you a similar question: when do you ever see someone playing brawl stars irl (outside of youtube and internet)? You guessed right, I've also never seen someone playing this game in my life, even though it was considered somewhat popular I think. So idk, seems like you are from another universe, lol.
In this video you point out how battle cats is really intuitive, and I generally agree, as I believe over all it boasts a pretty good game design, but the _one_ thing that new players need to be warned about is not the grinding, but how overwhelming the many progression options can be after you're done with Empire of Cats (the first 3 main story chapters). There's a ton of event stages in the Legends section and it's hard to wrap your head around them at the very start. Cyclone stages, advents, evolve stages - including crazed/manic/lil/malevolent cats, farming stages, random heavenly tower/citadel/monthly gauntlets... Among many others. We're lucky enough as a community to have great guide-makers to kinda nudge us in the right direction. I went from being incredibly stuck in mid-SoL/ItF and not really understanding event stages back in the day (admittedly, being quite a bit younger), to making a new save a couple of months back and steamrolling through SoL, a ton of advent bosses, clearing floor 40 of HT, and so on. I experienced this first hand and I am so thankful of the couple of videos I watched to catch me back up on the content updates I missed and solving so many of the problems I had back then with progression and team-building.
I have about 600 hours on the game. Have finished every story stage expect for zombie invasions and 2-4 UL. It is still pretty fun to play even in end game. Also great video. Even though it was 15 minutes the editing style made it feel short.
You forgot to mention this but the gacha part of the game can be completely avoided. Most players nowadays use an "exploit" called seed tracking that allows you to see EVERY cat in you gacha, meaning no rng. This also hasn't been adressed by Ponos ever meaning they're chill with it
Most YT strategies for hard stages have a no-gacha/uber strat, also I don't think Ponos is on board with seed tracking, but again there's not much they can do about it.
Ive played battle cats on and off since like 2014. Even though I often get burned out on it I will always consider it in my top 5 favourite games ever. It’s such a comfort game with chill gameplay and it’s just perfect. Plus you’re basically never done because there’s so much to do
This has been my opinion ever since I started playing it around 2015-2016. Very underrated content-filled game that gets good updates and collabs. The Battle Cats community is also friendly and the content creators are awesome!
Ontop of being one of the most free to play gacha out there, there’s a way to use your gacha seed to see what you might get on certain banners and plan accordingly, kinda like cheating the system. This has been unpatched for years, and the devs have never tried to patch it (other than once years back where they changed the system, but that wasn’t them trying to patch it out by any means)
I agree this game is a masterpiece in it's own right, however the only thing holding it back is the sluggish early game, playing all 3 eoc, itf and cotc chapters isn't interesting at all during the repeated runs, and treasure grinding makes it all the more worse. And also with the gacha system, I agree wholeheartedly that it's one of most generous ones with how easy it is to get currency, however it can also be one of the least generous systems as well. You see, it's not functioned in a way that each roll is randomized individually. Unlike other games, every person has a pre-determined seed with that informs their rolls-which is why people can often track it-so some people end up getting unlucky cycles that barely gives them the good stuff until 300 or so rolls, and often there is nothing one can do to alter it.

I've been playing this game for about 8 years now. You really explained pretty much everything important about the game there is to say! I really like it when people talk about this game, imo it doesn't get nearly as much love as it deserves. Thank you for making this video and making people see what a masterpiece this game truly is!
As i was searching bing for videos i found this and i was playing battle cats and as for ms playing battle cats for 5 years i can prove this DEFINETLY IS THE BEST MOBILE GAME 😊
I have spendee 7 years on playing battle cat, my face turned bright red when i first saw the gal in the summoning system, the game was very fun to play though, i love battle cat so much and will continue to play it, yeah, i post few battle cat videos years ago and stopped posting, might aswell post again.
I’m sad I can’t play because in my country it got deleted i used to play the game but then I reset my iPad and lost it permanently I wish ponos brings it back and it’s a amazing game
This game takes incredible resilience and time. But it is oh so worth it. Beating a hard or bs stage is such a liberating feeling no matter what kind of weird stupid strategy you had to use to beat it. Even seemingly useless cats can be useful sometimes for those super hard stages that you don’t quite know how to beat cause you haven’t explored your options. This game really makes you take a step back and realize that rare units like ubers are not always the best and that you need actual strategy to beat the stages. The battle cats experience is so worth it.
As someone who has been playing ...late 2013? somewhere in 2014? Ive been here for *EVERY* collab, the energy glitch, ive been through it all. What an amazing community
Personally one of the things that also puts it above other mobile games is the treasure system in the main story mode, specifically treasures such as the Management Bible, Time Machine, and Future Tech, which increase max Cat Energy and speed up Cat Energy recovery time. In so many other stage-based mobile games, there’s a stupid system in place to basically force you to only play up to a limited amount at once, or pay via a microtransaction to skip the wait for your “energy” to recover. But in this game, you can literally get access to upgrades that raise your max energy amount, and even speed up the recovery of it. Based game design.
I cannot believe that I have played battle cat for 7 years No, I have not use my old account since it was long forgotten in the old phones. Probably it was rebooted. But eh, I struggled at EOC 3 for God knows how long back then.
Absolutely adore this game been playing it on and off through the years and part of me is kinda glad it isnt mainstream but heres a cimment for the algorithm i think more people need to know about this game
I was expecting this video to be made by someone who just started, that naive “wow! This game is pretty easy, I wonder what else is in store?” And then at 1:19 I saw that you had slime cat, and I knew that you’ve been though worse than me. (I missed the teacher bear moments) Besides all that this was an incredibly fun video to watch, great work!
As much as I like Battle Cats I also like Genshin, so when I see something here that's not accurate, I'll just point it out here You don't need 5 stars (Uber equivalent) to be good at Genshin, I mean... the top 3 Meta units are composed of 4 stars, and one of them has a 5 star copycat that does the exact same thing, but slightly different. And they've been Meta for the 3 approaching 4 years the game has been running I don't think you said anything that would suggest otherwise, but I just wanted to put this here: Like Battle Cats, Genshin has Guaranteed 5 star (Uber) Banners but for every Banner, and it's not for a random Uber like Battle Cats' (unless you seed track ofc) it's a Guaranteed for the Featured singular Character 7:21 To explain you're just looking at a Stats showcase, the things on the right are the Equipment they're currently wearing. Stuff like "Crit rate/Dmg" or "HP"
It's been 9 years since i know this game and i don't regret a second of gameplay of this, i did everything, finished the game, made custom units with BCU, played mods, made a mod, this game is my Whole childhood and i would've been a worse person if i didn't play this
thank you so much for making everybody that loves this game more inclined to talk about it and bringing more attention to it and stuff like that eughhh English is not my first language and I don't communicate often so please don't bash me for bad grammar and stuff I'm saying this because it's legit my fave mobile videogame, if not my favorite videogame of all time

Ok 2 things to say 1 ponos dont really do much in terms of marketting mostly having collabs and the 3 unit poll vote most collabs they did are with dead games or actual cool stuff but other than that its really empty in terms of marketting they rely on word of mouth(like this video) and 2
Why is teacherbear Cat in the beggining when its showing a begginer loadouts thats a merciless advent unit💀
Super top tier game and a great video to showcase what makes this game so special. I’ve been playing since 2016 and I’ve somehow never gotten bored of it. Well done on this video btw!
Sup anglerfish
you DARE say battle cats is better then cookie run kingdom?!?
I honestly agree!
It is a game that is everywhere yet nowhere at the same time
Millions of players play it yet only 2-3 notible people can show it existence yet ther is a large community in it there are small yet important people contributing to this day
This is what makes battle cats what it is
as someone with 900+ hours ingame and more then 3 lost accounts since 2016, i confirm this guy is spittin factors
As someone with a couple hundred more hours and around 5 lost accounts, i also confirm that he is spitting
@@ivanthaboi 🤝
damn, so much ppl too has so much lost accounts
@@UnknownZYX_4085their acc system sucks. You lose your device, you lose your progress essentially
Nobody plays it because of the commitment you need to get to the good parts and the commitment must be real.
Why? One word, Treasures
treasures can go step on several legoes
Boy do I love playing the same 48*9 stages over and over to get some of the most essential buffs in the game. It's so fun!
Oh brother treasures is just one there’s also cat fruit behemoth stones etc.
Yes, thats definitely a flaw, but you cant judge a game because of the beginning (mostly)
wydm? I forgot about treasures only after 200+ hours of playing
(Real talk though, treasure festivals and Cat CPUS fix this problem)

Ah yes beating the literal giant lizard that can easily crush 1 city only to get a cat in Godzilla costume that can breath fire 🗿
As of recently they added 4th stages ultra forms, also your very underated
I'm addicted to this game like Walter White's magic blue crystals bro, this game is actually MAD underrated and the ONLY reason I haven't voluntarily left this planet.
Yea same
I'm commeting so this video gets hyped, underrated video smh
I appreciate it
As a Battle Cats Player who has been playing for 4 years, this is a game I always come back to and have a blast playing it, it’s a fun and can be challenging game that involves strategy.Unlike most other Pay to win games, Battle Cats is not Pay to win, and are actually overly generous with rewards, and make it easy for you to progress further into the game. I highly recommend this game to anyone interested.
Side note: if you get the game, this august will be their 10th anniversary, which will have massive rewards for all players, a perfect time to join and would not want to miss out!
"When do you ever see a stranger pull out their phone and play tbc?"
Quite a lot of times, actually. I'm constantly seeing people playing and talking about Battle Cats, it's a popular game, what's wrong with it?
I'd like to ask you a similar question: when do you ever see someone playing brawl stars irl (outside of youtube and internet)? You guessed right, I've also never seen someone playing this game in my life, even though it was considered somewhat popular I think. So idk, seems like you are from another universe, lol.
Well it depends on where you live! I haven't seen anyone play tbc in my area but I have seen a lot of people play brawl stars with their friends here.
There is a brawl stars cult at school for me

@@Torkothe is a certified cat game GRINDER trust me bro is not cappin

In this video you point out how battle cats is really intuitive, and I generally agree, as I believe over all it boasts a pretty good game design, but the _one_ thing that new players need to be warned about is not the grinding, but how overwhelming the many progression options can be after you're done with Empire of Cats (the first 3 main story chapters). There's a ton of event stages in the Legends section and it's hard to wrap your head around them at the very start. Cyclone stages, advents, evolve stages - including crazed/manic/lil/malevolent cats, farming stages, random heavenly tower/citadel/monthly gauntlets... Among many others. We're lucky enough as a community to have great guide-makers to kinda nudge us in the right direction. I went from being incredibly stuck in mid-SoL/ItF and not really understanding event stages back in the day (admittedly, being quite a bit younger), to making a new save a couple of months back and steamrolling through SoL, a ton of advent bosses, clearing floor 40 of HT, and so on. I experienced this first hand and I am so thankful of the couple of videos I watched to catch me back up on the content updates I missed and solving so many of the problems I had back then with progression and team-building.
As a guy who played this for 11 years,im addicted
The BEST gacha game hands down (sorry limbussy company) I keep trying too say its the best gacha of all time but nobody believes me 😭
Not many people talk about it :(
I have about 600 hours on the game. Have finished every story stage expect for zombie invasions and 2-4 UL. It is still pretty fun to play even in end game.
Also great video. Even though it was 15 minutes the editing style made it feel short.
I appreciate it, Also I keep telling myself end game is fun
You forgot to mention this but the gacha part of the game can be completely avoided. Most players nowadays use an "exploit" called seed tracking that allows you to see EVERY cat in you gacha, meaning no rng. This also hasn't been adressed by Ponos ever meaning they're chill with it
since gatcha is predetermined theres no reson to do anything about it they can see what thhey are gonna get if they want
Most YT strategies for hard stages have a no-gacha/uber strat, also I don't think Ponos is on board with seed tracking, but again there's not much they can do about it.
Do keep in mind, this exploit takes out any fun in rolling an uber, so only use this exploit as a last resort 👌
@@penpenguin4767Tbh, some people really don’t care about the gacha aspect of the game and just want to play with ubers
@@DuDoo553nah just the cats they want to use (any rarity or specific cats)
Ive played battle cats on and off since like 2014. Even though I often get burned out on it I will always consider it in my top 5 favourite games ever. It’s such a comfort game with chill gameplay and it’s just perfect. Plus you’re basically never done because there’s so much to do
This has been my opinion ever since I started playing it around 2015-2016. Very underrated content-filled game that gets good updates and collabs. The Battle Cats community is also friendly and the content creators are awesome!
“No one is playing it” the 86 million downloads-
Most of them uninstall the game before ch3 eoc
8:10 w- well.. you might want to rephrase that
They drop the most money out of any other trait too, and they're the fastest... What did ponos mean by this?
And the traitless units that are white have less things targeting them… hmmm…
hmm this game sounds fun i think ill try it
-someone with over 5 years of experience
Ontop of being one of the most free to play gacha out there, there’s a way to use your gacha seed to see what you might get on certain banners and plan accordingly, kinda like cheating the system. This has been unpatched for years, and the devs have never tried to patch it (other than once years back where they changed the system, but that wasn’t them trying to patch it out by any means)
I agree this game is a masterpiece in it's own right, however the only thing holding it back is the sluggish early game, playing all 3 eoc, itf and cotc chapters isn't interesting at all during the repeated runs, and treasure grinding makes it all the more worse.
And also with the gacha system, I agree wholeheartedly that it's one of most generous ones with how easy it is to get currency, however it can also be one of the least generous systems as well. You see, it's not functioned in a way that each roll is randomized individually. Unlike other games, every person has a pre-determined seed with that informs their rolls-which is why people can often track it-so some people end up getting unlucky cycles that barely gives them the good stuff until 300 or so rolls, and often there is nothing one can do to alter it.
And what if i told you, i already play this game.
Seriously though, this is [kinda] underrated for being so good
I made a battle cats "animation"

I've been playing this game for about 8 years now. You really explained pretty much everything important about the game there is to say! I really like it when people talk about this game, imo it doesn't get nearly as much love as it deserves. Thank you for making this video and making people see what a masterpiece this game truly is!
As i was searching bing for videos i found this and i was playing battle cats and as for ms playing battle cats for 5 years i can prove this DEFINETLY IS THE BEST MOBILE GAME 😊
I dont think he said this but the game is super generous with what they give you. I join battle cats one day just to get 999 cat food
Thats when they started the "outcats" event i believe
Battle cats Unite version is even more generous they give 50 cat food every 6 hours thats 250 cat food everyday
I agree I spent half of my life playing it ❤
I've been playing this game since I was 12. I'm 19 now so this game raised me during my teen years lol.
@@Torkot I was playing and watch it since I was 10 now I’m 17 I’m exactly like you and on my language community this game unfortunately isn’t popular
don't forget there was also PPAP
I have spendee 7 years on playing battle cat, my face turned bright red when i first saw the gal in the summoning system, the game was very fun to play though, i love battle cat so much and will continue to play it, yeah, i post few battle cat videos years ago and stopped posting, might aswell post again.
I’ve been playing the battle cats for 6 years. I’m 12. I’ve been playing this game for half my life and I’m still addicted
Honestly top tier game it's the fact they update and other mobile games don't but new content is content so im all for it
I made a new tbc video where I roll 133+ tickets to try to get a legend rare:

I got a legend rare it’s the like knight looking machines
I’m sad I can’t play because in my country it got deleted i used to play the game but then I reset my iPad and lost it permanently I wish ponos brings it back and it’s a amazing game

As a battle cat fan for 6 years l'm grateful how it exists.
This game takes incredible resilience and time. But it is oh so worth it. Beating a hard or bs stage is such a liberating feeling no matter what kind of weird stupid strategy you had to use to beat it. Even seemingly useless cats can be useful sometimes for those super hard stages that you don’t quite know how to beat cause you haven’t explored your options. This game really makes you take a step back and realize that rare units like ubers are not always the best and that you need actual strategy to beat the stages. The battle cats experience is so worth it.
This comment is to boost algorithm
As someone who has been playing ...late 2013? somewhere in 2014? Ive been here for *EVERY* collab, the energy glitch, ive been through it all.
What an amazing community
seeing late game stages in a discussion of battle cats is always so exciting
every. single. sentence. he finishes it with drawing out the final 2 or so words out as MUCH as he can
i am going to lose it dude
Personally one of the things that also puts it above other mobile games is the treasure system in the main story mode, specifically treasures such as the Management Bible, Time Machine, and Future Tech, which increase max Cat Energy and speed up Cat Energy recovery time. In so many other stage-based mobile games, there’s a stupid system in place to basically force you to only play up to a limited amount at once, or pay via a microtransaction to skip the wait for your “energy” to recover. But in this game, you can literally get access to upgrades that raise your max energy amount, and even speed up the recovery of it. Based game design.
Just found this video yt recommended me and I gotta say BATTLE CATS IS AMAZING!!!

No, I have not use my old account since it was long forgotten in the old phones.
Probably it was rebooted.
But eh, I struggled at EOC 3 for God knows how long back then.

I love the references in this game
Same, it's a joy to look through
I love how ads are OPTIONAL and not FORCED.
Also, the game is fun. I should have said that first, I have like 100+ hours, but yeah, it's good.
Finally this is getting some attention lmao, last time bc was popular was 3 years ago

i been playin this game on and off since i was a lil kid and im glad its getting more attention. No hate here, this vid was fire
Absolutely adore this game been playing it on and off through the years and part of me is kinda glad it isnt mainstream but heres a cimment for the algorithm i think more people need to know about this game
I was expecting this video to be made by someone who just started, that naive “wow! This game is pretty easy, I wonder what else is in store?”
And then at 1:19 I saw that you had slime cat, and I knew that you’ve been though worse than me. (I missed the teacher bear moments)
Besides all that this was an incredibly fun video to watch, great work!
As a fellow battle cats player, I can confirm it is AMAZING
10:48 I already knew who you were talking about when you first mentioned it.. ALL HAIL LORD JIZO!
Great video even tho I got a stroke like 14 times from listening to your speech style
As much as I like Battle Cats I also like Genshin, so when I see something here that's not accurate, I'll just point it out here
You don't need 5 stars (Uber equivalent) to be good at Genshin, I mean... the top 3 Meta units are composed of 4 stars, and one of them has a 5 star copycat that does the exact same thing, but slightly different. And they've been Meta for the 3 approaching 4 years the game has been running
I don't think you said anything that would suggest otherwise, but I just wanted to put this here: Like Battle Cats, Genshin has Guaranteed 5 star (Uber) Banners but for every Banner, and it's not for a random Uber like Battle Cats' (unless you seed track ofc) it's a Guaranteed for the Featured singular Character
7:21 To explain you're just looking at a Stats showcase, the things on the right are the Equipment they're currently wearing. Stuff like "Crit rate/Dmg" or "HP"
It's been 9 years since i know this game and i don't regret a second of gameplay of this, i did everything, finished the game, made custom units with BCU, played mods, made a mod, this game is my Whole childhood and i would've been a worse person if i didn't play this
Damn im like, really late to this upload, but like. THIS HAS SUCH HIGH PRODUCTION QUALITY!
Actually amazing job man!
it rlly does :) he did fantastically on the video
thank you so much for making everybody that loves this game more inclined to talk about it and bringing more attention to it and stuff like that
