I have no idea what this is or what you're talking about. But this is hilarious/intriguing. Say more.
okay, so imagine a breath of the wild-type exploration game. you can use wind to fly with a glider that you have or to spread fires that you can start, you climb/swim with stamina like in breath of the wild, there are quests that are open-worldy. it's an rpg so you level up characters and weapons (yay no durability). except the way that you get these characters is through gacha-pull mechanics. you get some characters progressing through the story, but "the best" ones are in the pulls (which obviously you can get by paying money for, although you get some for free). each character has an element and you have a party of up to 4 that you are playing all at once, that you can switch between using a button - so the idea is you use one character's special and then another's to inflict a specific type of damage - like, you might use a water attack on an enemy to get them wet, then use an ice attack to freeze them dealing freeze damage, then you might use a fire attack to deal melt damage, rinse and repeat. oh, and all the characters are anime "cutesy". like i said, it's free so i thought I'd try it, and it improves on some of my gripes with BotW, but it feels more RPG and less BotW action-y with some different systems.
