Arknights Endfield is a fantastic new release thanks to three fantastic components: its style, action, and base building mechanics.
Arknights Endfield is the latest big release in the world of gacha games and, believe it or not, it appears to be a genuinely invigorating experience. What makes it so special? Well, for me it comes down to three major merits: the style, the action, and a base-building component that separates it from its peers.
Lets start with the style of Arknights Endfield because, I’ve got to say, it immediately grabbed me. It’s a sci-fi action game which itself isn’t too unique within the subgenre, but it has this practical neo-futurism aesthetic that makes each character — playable and otherwise — pretty darn fashionable.
High-end street wear blends with refined, boutique weaponry in a slick space-age setting. It’s a joy to look around, to navigate the world and just take it all in. I can safely say that Arknights Endfield is one of the most gorgeous games among its peers, just on aesthetics alone. It doesn’t require a monster rig to play either, running just fine on my somewhat decent PC.
When you get into the actual combat portions of the game, you’re gradually introduced to a proper celebration of squad-focused melee action. The way it works itself is basic enough; a standard attack string, a special move, and an ultimate attack.
