Ex Astris Proves Mobile Games Don't Have To Be Gacha

Ex Astris is Gryphline's (Arknights publisher) new premium mobile RPG and yes you read correctly, it is not a gacha.
Charming open world, turn-based hybrid combat and no microtransactions (!!) make Ex Astris one the most interesting releases in 2024 so far and here is what we think about it after playing it for a few hours.

    Bought it yesterday. Honestly had never heard of it, was just looking at the Top Paid games on Google Play and saw it, out of nowhere, in the Top 5. I say out of nowhere because I check it weekly lol (I've bought 30+ games in the last decade... from Dead Cells with all DLC's, to Alien Isolation to Hitman Blood Money, Monster Hunter Stories and many more). I've only played it for about an hour so far (mainly to make sure it runs OK on my phone) and I absolutely LOVE it. It's a beautiful game with a pretty cool hybrid combo system. It's not perfect (some dialog goes by quick and you can miss it if you're not really paying full attention) and I'm still learning the combo/skill system but overall it's been great. I ONLY play paid games that I can buy fully (no ads or micro transactions... I don't consider dlc's micro transactions). I REFUSE to play ANY gacha games or idle games.

    I rolled my eyes when i saw its ad sponsered in a yt video, but then when i saw the annotations saying it WASNT a gatcha game. I legit bought it just because i want to support this direction. I want to see quality paid games come to mobile so bad

    Agreed it's worth the price. But one thing that's a bit unfortunate (in my opinion) is that there are no english dub. If there were an english dub I'm 100% sure the game would be selling even more.

    For sure. Like, it's not enough to keep me from playing, but having to stop exploration to read dialogue can definitely be a turn off for some people. And occasionally, the game does remove subtitles a bit too quickly. That said, I'm enjoying the game quite a bit.

    but i like gacha games as a f2p. I like that it consistently gets updated and I can play at my own pace. Instead of having a 10 hour experience and then I never touch the game again. With gachas it feels like theres always something new added every few weeks.

    True but the difference is that i can always replay that 10 hour experience again sometime in the future while gacha games will die out or shutdown if the whalers stop investing on that gacha game cause gacha devs gotta pay a steep price to keep those servers running 24/7.
