Illusion Connect: Re

The Revival is Real, But Choose Your Server Wisely!I never thought I’d see this game come back, and 60+ days in, I’m incredibly hyped. The nostalgia is heavy, the Radiants are back, the OG designs look amazing, and the gameplay is just as great as before the shutdown. The new devs have a masterpiece on their hands if they treat it right. That said, if you are a new or returning player, you need to go in with your eyes open to a few modern realities. First, don't let the hype blind you to the gacha system. Just because you see an amazing unit or character you want, remember it is entirely luck based and nothing is guaranteed. That hook is exactly how these games keep you engaged and playing, so manage your expectations early. You’re bound to see reviews or posts of people quitting because.. Idk they don’t get exactly what they want. (I’m two months in and I still haven’t gotten a character I know I need, this isn’t my first gacha, lol) Your day to day community experience will also heavily depend on your server and obviously your experience may vastly differ from mine. Mine has two main drawbacks right now: {1} The Chat: The public chat is plagued by a weirdo who talks to themselves to brag about their characters and drop story spoilers. I'm trapped into not blocking them because they're on my friends list and I want to avoid the ensuing drama. But hey, at least this guy isn’t trying to treat this game like a dating app, lol. {2} The Leaderboards: We have a few YouTubers using disposable income to monopolize the ranks for content. It's actually good for the game’s overall longevity, but it's a major headache if you want to chase ranks. I desperately wish we had an offline mode or a mute button for the pointless chat except guild recruitment or the occasional user who posts redeem codes, but the core game is simply too good to miss. If you can handle the luck of the gacha draw and the quirks of your server, definitely give it a shot!

Nothing but bad decisions, whales already leaving the game after 50 days, and there is no good packs within the game for $5, or $10. I dont know how can they make money to keep this game open for long. Cumulative top-up(aka VIP rewards) in this game is a joke, you get a 1% reward, some rewards from VIP is not even 1%. They nerfed the Battle Pass rewards, nerfed event rewards, game is nothing but a watered down version compare to the CN version And if you guys dont know, this game announce EOS(end of service) for a total of 8 times, not 1. Use your money wisely.
