Ark Re:Code - Game Review & Gacha Rates

In the year 2122 AD, an unknown entity calling itself "The Apostle" descends upon the Earth from the sky, bringing with it an apocalyptic rain of meteorites. In the blink of an eye, a significant portion of the Earth's surface is destroyed, along with much of its life. Fortunately, some humans manage to survive the apocalypse and gradually succeed in rebuilding the Earth. During the planet's reconstruction, scientists notice that an enormous number of strange crystals are forming at the point where the meteorites fell during the apocalypse. It becomes immediately apparent that a new, immensely powerful energy called "Astrogen" can be derived from these crystals. Thanks to this newfound power, the human race regains strength and thrives stronger than ever. However, what no one expects is that the being called "The Apostle" was never truly defeated; it had merely been dormant in the depths of the Earth. This is where our adventure begins, alongside Apathy, Rosalie, Rafael, and many other fighters, ready to stand by our side and save the world from the new Apocalypse!

What is Ark Re:Code?

Ark Re:Code is a new Turn-Based H-Gacha game very similar to "Epic Seven" in its gameplay structure. Here, players can assemble a party of characters, up to a maximum of 4 (plus a support character from a friend). Each character has a Class (Defender, Warrior, Caster, Vanguard, Medic, and Sniper) and an Element (Fire, Nature, Water, Light & Dark). Victory in each battle is easily achieved through a good combination of favorable classes and elements. Despite being intended for an adult audience, the game boasts a truly effective combat system. Additionally, the game offers various PvE and PvP content. Among the most important PvE content is the Main story, which naturally unlocks all other modes, providing numerous rewards, including new characters, items, summoning gems, and much more. In addition to the main story, there are Daily Dungeons essential for character enhancement, Events with plenty of redeemable items, the "Virtual Reality" tower with 100 floors to conquer, and the "Hunt," featuring 5 bosses to defeat for excellent gear.

For PvP, there is a 4v4 Arena system (against both AI-controlled players and NPCs) that rewards players based on the rank they achieve. The game also offers a wide variety of adult scenes to unlock and collect! If you enjoy turn-based games and beautiful characters, Ark Re:Code is the game you've been waiting for!
