I wanna say though. This game has one of the most well-done character design in any gacha game I've seen. It's very cohesive and at the same time very diverse.

I've played AFKJourney for a little more than a year right now, as a F2P. I could write an entire essay about the game, but I must say : <b>The most fun I had in this game, was during the first 30 days of "PreSeason"</b>

As a f2p player, I would like to clarify some things. First, you can manually use ultimates, but you need to toggle it in the configuration (Bad design, I know). Second, the scam-gazers problem is worse than you described, since the rate of obtencion is the same, but the release rate of new heroes has become 1.5 times faster. Despite what I said, this video is a good review of the early to mid game.

If you are someone who wants to try this game out and are afraid of starting late or behind, dont worry they put you in servers that are new with other new players. Pretty cool thing and very necessary with the amount of whales in this game.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_0i8DI52Pk&t=71">1:11</a> "They even got Markiplier in there"<br>I think Mark just happens to be friends to someone in Lilith since he's been marketing AFK Arena, Dislyte, and AFK Journey. Even became an NPC in 2 of these.

As someone who works ungodly hours some days in a soul-crushing job, it's nice to have a cheery game where I don't have to do too much to progress, even if a small amount.

I gotta say, I've played a lot of mobile games of this genre and AFK journey had the most interractive and strategic gameplay of them. You actually gotta think about and change your character composition, positioning, etc... Otherwise you simply won't beat the level. Also it has one of the fairest pull rates, because you actually get what you're pulling for quickly, even if they're limited characters from collaborations. I had downloaded the game for the Fairy Tail collaboration, and thought I wouldn't actually get them but I enjoyed the game for itself anyway, and I ended up getting both Natsu and Lucy very easily! And no need to pay! Compared to other games in that genre where you still won't get what you want even if you invest hundreds of dollars to buy pulls.
