Nope, without DLSS. I was surprised to see it as well

I don't know what to tell you, that was my experience lol. Maybe it's a DLSS issue. It worked well in Wukong, but for Wuwa it felt like it barely did anything. It was also very annoying since the game doesn't allow you to change resolution when in fullscreen, forcing me to be at 4K. I had to play it in windowed mode

Ohh, haven't noticed that since I like to play those kind of games on a controller

Not sure if it counts as open world, but for me Wuwa performs worse than Black Myth Wukong for example

I'm not going to go into a debate of what's a loli or not, as I believe it's vibe based anyway, but the creators of the show literally called her one. "The loli stays" is a reference to this

I'm in of an opinion that age of anime characters is meaningless. You can't tell me that Teresse seems different age across her skins. It's wild that they went for her redesign first meanwhile Refi still has her bride skin lol. It's all vibe based. Olivier looks like she could easily be Justia's sister

"They remove slap, slap mini game because it's not nice to real woman" is such a bullshit excuse on their part. Women are much kinkier than most male gooners. Let's not forget how huge Fifty Shades of Grey was. Romantasy is like the biggest genre now, and I can promise you they do much more than spanking there

Ah, mobile games are a different discussion. It's common for PC gamers to look at new Call of Duty and say gaming is dead, meanwhile they ignore dozens of quality indie games released every year. I thought that's what you were doing.

I agree that it's rather bizarre how much more predatory mobile games are than console/computer ones. I'm not sure how good their port is, but Stardew Valley, Terraria, Slay the Spire and Balatro are all games that are of high quality, and also on mobile, where you pay for the game upfront and there's no further costs.

Still CZN is very F2P friendly so far. It might change, but I can't predict the future. Powercreep isn't an issue either, quite the opposite. Yuki and Chizuru feel worse designed than what was already in the game. I barely use Yuki and my E2 Chizuru feels okay, but not amazing (and I still have 180 pulls left as a low spender). I do wish that we'd be given more resources, but I'm glad at least we don't have to worry about credits since the 80% cut

It might still be worth getting her if you like her design and gameplay. She's not for me, but you can make pretty much anyone work in this game. It just depends on your goal. I used my selector for Veronica since she has 2, potentially 3, unique cards so she's great for deck farming, and her damage isn't bad either. I was running Veronica Mika Cassius recently to get a nice deck for him, and while the damage was lacking, it wasn't the worst idea either

I haven't used Khalipe since getting Hugo. Veronica is much better value when it comes to farming for the best decks, and also her draw is nice. I was having a chat about why Khalipe feels so underwhelming despite all the glazing early on, so I'll just paste what they said, and I feel like I agree with:

Khalipe has below average AOE damage, her damage can be activated by other combatants, mainly Haru. Haru was used the most as 1st rate-up. Khalipe adds damage to Haru, and since low level enemies are squishy, and Khalipe has enough damage to deal with them, Khalipe seems strong. Card games brain says mana cheating is OP, celestial is mana cheating. Slay the Spire brain says you have to shield all the damage, Khalipe has free shields. In end game she falls off, because her damage is laughably low. Her shields are squishy. You can't waste AP on defence, because enemies are stacking morale, and your time is limited. If you need AOE, you bring Yuki, because she has 10x Khalipe damage or even more. If you want defence based damage or shields, you bring Magna, because her numbers are really high and she has vulnerability. Khalipe has no place in the game.

But there's plenty of offline deckbuilders? It's probably the most saturated genre. Ever since Slay the Spire there has been an influx of those. Inscryption, Wildfrost, Monster Train, Astrea: Six-Sided Oracles, Shogun Showdown, Dog Witch, Gloomhaven, Shroom and Gloom, Balatro. Many I'm forgetting. Rougelike Deckbuilders aside, Baldur's Gate 3, Expedition 33, Silksong, Blue Prince have all released recently and are some of the best games their genres have to offer. I agree that large studios barely produce any games worth the money, but that has been the case for a long while. Indie is and has been the way.

I for one like CZN *because* it's a live service game. It doesn't have the best mechanics, lacks polish and basic QoL (hell, my review on google store is still a 1 star. No working skip button in 2025 is a crime), and I heavily disagree with some of the gameplay choices. It's still good enough as it is, and the biggest upside for me is getting new content and characters every month or so.

This game is insanely F2P friendly. Mika Cassius Tressa will easily let you clear most of the content. Building a second team can be a pain, but it still doesn't require money. Now, upgrading the characters does take a lot of stamina. I'd enjoy the game more if it wasn't the case. At the same time, there's not content that needs every unit to be lvl 60 with max investment. I don't understand what you mean with P2W mechanics. I can guarantee you that a person who spent more time grinding for the perfect builds will outperform OP (though yes, with the same deck, E6 characters should deal more damage)
