Star Savior Early Review: A So-So Game Except for the Story?

1. ✨ Star Savior Story: Charming Setting and Presentation, But Short Length

2. 💰 BM Structure: Similar to Nikke, but a More Expensive Gacha Model

✅ BM structure refers to 'Nikke'
⚠️ Gacha probability is 2.5%, lower than 'Nikke' (Nikke is 4%)
⚠️ There are 3 types of passes, so the minimum amount for low-spending users is high (more than 50,000 won for monthly subscription + pass)
⚠️ Not as toxic as 'Uma Musume', but more burdensome than 'Nikke'

3. 😥 UI/UX: Seriously Inconvenient User Experience

❌ The UI must be learned twice because the main screen and menu structure are different
❌ Difficult to check the information needed when developing characters
❌ Low accessibility to event information
❌ Unacceptable level even for a new developer

4. 🎮 Game Play: Lack of Strategy, Ambiguous Position

❌ Turn-based, but lacks strategy
❌ It is difficult to feel the need for manual operation (auto-focused play)
❌ Content from various games such as 'Uma Musume', 'Honkai: Star Rail', and 'Nikke' are mixed, but not harmonious
❌ Too heavy to enjoy as a sub-game, and lacks depth to enjoy as a main game

5. ⚙️ Convenience: Absence of Sweep Function, Increased Inconvenience

❌ There is no sweep function, so the time per battle is longer
❌ Currencies are separated for each content, forcing repetitive play
❌ It is disappointing that the sweep function of 'CounterSide' was not brought in
❌ It is so inconvenient that it is difficult to see it as a game released in 2025

6. 🤔 Conclusion: Story is the Only Good Thing, Possibility of Change Depending on Improvement

✅ The story is worth recommending (direction, motion, flow, foreshadowing, etc.)
❌ It is difficult to feel any charm other than the story
❌ There are no specific strengths such as the strategy of 'Limbus Company', the modeling of 'Wuthering Waves', or the uniqueness of 'Nikke'
⚠️ Evaluation may change depending on future content and convenience improvements
