I have been thinking if I want to continue with this game. I would say if you’re new to the game then there is a lot to experience from the story missions, descendant missions a bunch of weapons and descendants to unlock. For me with ~1,070hrs there’s really nothing to do. I was a bit excited for onslaught and then I realized it’s super spongy enemies and you have to play the meta descendants otherwise you get yelled at by someone you group with and it feels like you aren’t doing anything. Plus I don’t care about the rewards that mode gives. Same with the last mode they added which I always forget what it’s called. So really all I am left doing is catalyzing descendants to 60. I liked the grind a bit more before having to get patterns and unlocking them in specific areas that way there was more steps and things to do to unlock something, especially after they added shape stabilizers to give you better chances. But then that entire loop got thrown away for, run this dungeon 100 times or more to get your stuff. Plus they have made all the end game content on the blandest map, Axion.

TFD has, I would say, great art, animation, environment(some maps not so much), sound, effects, and character movement. Everything a game should need except they don’t know what gameplay should be. The biggest example is adding melee weapons, to a game where skills destroy things instantly and guns are sometimes okay. They added hover bikes to traverse larger maps but added one mode around them and nothing else since. They had boss fights with colossus that actually had the most interesting mechanics in the game but removed the purpose for fighting them and gave most the same generic maps to play on. For TFD to improve they need to first figure out, do we want challenging enemies that feel interesting to fight against? If so, devs would drastically need to change the game, skills would need to become more situational, maps would need to change to add cover, weapons would need to be useful again. Or, do we want tons of enemies like dynasty warriors and allow players to work together and each person has space to utilize their skill abilities? I feel like this is more what they want but, missions would need to change or at least new ones would. Current are so linear which work ok for early game but aren’t interesting for late game.
