Should anyone play this? I started recently and I'm still trying to figure it out. It seems cool but I can't figure out if we're supposed to be the good guys or the bad guys. Also it's gacha trash. But the puzzle TD aspect of it is super satisfying.

Is anyone playing this, should I keep playing?

Yes! Arknights is one of my favorite gachas that I'm playing rn. I've been playing for almost 2 years now. Rhodes Island is just a small organization that have their own goals for doing stuff and try not to rock the boat too much to not anger other nations and they disguise themselves as a neutral pharmaceutical company. The first arc's writing is pretty weak and slow since they were just trying to get their footing, but it does pick up around chapters 6-8. We kinda do the liberal both sides thing and brand Reunion as terrorists when they definitely got fucked over by Ursus (Tsarist Russia) and the infected are discriminated everywhere.

I'd say we are the good guys and Amiya is trying to save the Infected everywhere, but we're just a small faction and can't do much. The world of AK is huge and every nation is either fighting some supernatural apocalyptic threat or capitalism lol and the writing doesn't pull it's punches when criticizing capitalism and how much is sucks for it's citizens like the ones living in Columbia (America) or Kazimierz (Germany + Eastern Europe).

I just love the character designs and how they're not too weeb trash and sexualized and try to keep the tacticool theme. Also the tower defense strategy is really fun and you can use a lot of strategies to beat the stages. You don't have to use gacha 6*'s and 4* and 5* ops are pretty good too.

Sounds like it's still getting off the ground then. I'm stuck in the middle of chapter 4 still.

Can you (or anyone else who plays) DM me your friend code? I have the quest to visit a friend's base but have no friends in the game yet
