@@TheGuyWithSuperLongHairYeah it kinda sucks at the start, though it does get better as the game goes along. Though the accents are very good, even though they sound weird are very accurate to those cultures.
Reverse: 1999 has been a great joy to play. You can see a great care from the developers. What I think makes it stand out more is the how the developers listened to the global player base and have worked on fixing the translation issues of the game. The latest story appears to have no translation hiccups like the previous chapters. Its a big breath of fresh air seeing a developer actually listen to their global player base.
there is one translation error (minor spoilers) the part where sophia's on the beach with regulus and lilya and the narration says "sophia put her head on her forehead" other than that it's been fantastic
my fav. game of 2023. This is the game when you can feel the love from their maker. Despite the meager content at the beginning of the game (which increases substantially over the patches), I still played it everyday waiting eagerly for new contents to come.
Really? The examples in the video were pretty terrible imo. It's nice to have the accents, but the performances were not that great and the sound quality was awful.
It's pretty new globally and somewhat niche (?), so I suppose that's why you haven't heard it, frankly I haven't seen many out-there advertisements of it.
As an Arknights player, I found myself nodding and saying just "like Arknights" a lot during this review. The sleek UI, the rarities, the general game structure, the character progression... It's all very similar. The main difference seems to be that AK puts more stock into its gameplay while R1999 is more story focused (with its story as a whole being a lot better presented). I've been looking for a casual gacha to play alongside AK for a while, and this might be it. It looks and sounds great, the story seems interesting and all I learned in AK about character progression stuff applies here too, it seems. I'll give it a shot!
Gameplay can be very hit or miss for some people. After 3 and a half years of AK I just can't stand it anymore, it bores to death but R99 is a breath of fresh air in that regard. There's enough strategy and depth to keep me interested without wasting too much of my time on retries, although tbf with how broken recent operators have been in AK there's almost no need to repeat most stages when half of your roster are instawin buttons
@@hua.. I know. I play AK with 5/4 stars and leave the broken ops for the maps I'm too dumb for with with just 5/4 stars (usually CC or the last EX-CM stages of an event). I never liked playing with broken stuff, I actively avoid doing it in every game I play. As for R1999, I just don't like turn based RPGs. I thought the story, presentation and ease-to-transition-from-AK would be enough to hook me, but it wasn't. It may someone else's cup of tea, but it wasn't mine at all.
Thank you for your hard-working on this video!!! I’m a huge R1999 fan and I’m glad to see you show the details of the game!! Besides the game content, the EP and OST of R1999 are also done very well and I think it is definitely deserve to enjoy!!
Really happy you made a video on this! Having come back to this game just this week because of my bad luck when rerolling for a certain character on release, the timing couldn't be better! Playing through the story for the first time, I'm just amazed at how good the art, atmosphere, voice acting and story really are. Hope to maybe see more in the future.
6:08 Is correct, if you are talking about 1.0~1.2 As per 1.4 Is incorrect. I3Lv20 R10 is needed if a player want to obtain the maximum amount of free premium currency from the periodic game mode (Limbo). I2Lv50 R9~10 were the standard in the early version of the game (1.0~1.2), but it is no longer (4* rarities are still usable in those version). The standard is raised even much further (higher level, higher resonance) if player are not playing the meta characters. This also means that, investing to 4* and lower rarities will be a huge waste (As they can't progress beyond I2) And actually, player can brute force limbo with level and resonance as I did with 5* units (I3L50 R13~15). This is actually excessive investing (not recommended), and I'm not sure if it still works with 5* in the much later patch.
I never really found going like I30 60 excess investment, maybe coz I don't have a ton of character level but I have like 2 core team of 6 and few other ones i got them all like i3 60 at like R9 going for R10 soon. But i do see like lot of people stay like i3 30? just more curious where those extra resources even going to lol.
Wait, u actually need to max resonance? I've been doing it i3 lv30 r10 since forever. I always assumed i have skill issue when doing somnambulism (i full star all except the last floor)
@@mti4601Yeah, you need max, if you playing full party of 5* or some mixmatch with 4* rarities. Even then, as per 1.6, it is shit now when compared to Jiu. For example, Dikke ult at MAX (p4 i3l50r15), is only doing 40% the damage of Jiu (i3L40r12) normal's incantation. Sure, one only need i3l20r10 if using 6*. But it's getting harder and harder that upping them more is reasonable, and not skill issue, this is especially true when compared to 1.2. where I can still clear with 5* and feel the challenge was fair, and enemy HP is not bloated. This game combat lacks depth, when you have a hard time, usually is not the case of skill issue. Test it yourself, raise the party level by 10~15, and you see the difference, from hard stage -> so-so stage. What matters now is if you are using the newest 6* unit or not. So, yeah, you know why I'm angry at this game, All my 5* and 4* and 3* are reduced to garbage by the dev. They are noobtrap by this point, and should have not exist in the first place if all they do is punish players that love and invest them.
@@DisIngRaMdamm that is really interesting and sad thing to have for gacha game, i gonna hope limbus not going to that path, having exponentially more powerful ssr is one thing but having lower rarity completely useless is such a bad design
This is the best Gacha game i ever play. The game are so generous about resources and RNG that it feel like it really want you to have fun. There is no FOMO either. Any past event will be replayable in a couple of patches later. Song in this game won gaming music award back in 2023 too. Real criticism is that there is no PvP. So there is not much reason to build your team very much. But that’s can be good too since you can enjoy pve content anytime and however you like
Wouldnt PVP be pay to win tho... like every other gacha game with pvp It also makes it unenjoyable to grind solely for Arena like in CRK and AFK Journey
The lore has gradually improved in quality over the year since this game came out. Really I would say the lore is one of the best if you dig deep enough(sidelines, personal info,etc)
One thing I really liked about the lore is that it connects and references a lot to real life. This game made me learn more about the history and culture of other countries lol.
I came here with almost no expectations as most reviewers of RE:1999 just show the 1.4 preview and just pretend to be hyped. Your review however even explained how the game works. My experience so far while playing since launch is that between updates like all other gacha games, it becomes stale and you just continue to farm resources. Atleast there is no "weapon" banner and no rng from "artifacts". So over time you'll max out your whole team.
its funny that i come from Reverse 1999 to Nikke, and you covers this game right now,.. i love Reverse 1999 and i played it alongside with nikke.. both are chill games..
I played the game for 4-5 months after its release. I can say that it's peak in its presentation, from aesthetic, vibe, music, story, voice acting ..., on the same level with some of the best AAA non-gacha games for me. But the game is held back by its gameplay. For a strategy/turn-base game, it's lacking depth, which is typical for this type of game when monetizes using gacha. The team building is limited by RNG and your resources to build characters, this often can be fixed when reaching late game with more characters in your roster, but 90% there is one best team you can use for a given stage. 4 characters with 3 skills each you bring, but you will want to use ultimate asap to avoid wasting moxie, plus with RNG cards for skills, so every turn there are only 2-3 combinations you want to use for you best team, in every stages, until you hit stats check wall, then slowly grind to upgrade your characters, repeats. This is why games like Arknight or FateGO (same gameplay but better) are still popular. That said, I will probably come back later just for the story, it was getting really good after chapter 4 or 5.
I’ve been playing this game for bits and pieces at a time, I played it, deleted it when I finished the story and redownloaded it because I missed Voyager. To my surprise there was more story and even though I’m close to finishing it I love it regardless. It’s very fun and very free to play imo. I got a few 6 stars and was using Lilya as my main dps but it’s changed. Now Centurion is my main dps and I actually just got another six star who’s my main support. I find this game super fun and relaxing
I really like this game. The music is incredibly good, the story is unique and I love the gameplay. I really love the character too. Also the voice acting is top notch. The gacha is pretty forgiving. I have been able to get who I want and I haven't spent a dime.
I thought so too, until I started going through the story boss in Chapter 5 on hardcore) Gradually the difficulty of the main content increases, but they make the transition smooth and soft enough so that many have time to level up their characters. In fact, although there are many characters in the game, there are only enough resources for leveling up; To create your personal meta, you need time and wisely choose who to level up and who not, so you have to command selectively even in the sense that I have more than 9 - 6 star characters that I cannot fully level up but only 4 of they will be my main striking force. For me, hardcore content is a challenge, that's why I completed UTTU, and I completed all the chapters on HC. So I closed everything in limbo) because of this I get complete pleasure from the game) And I also played more than +800 hours in this game)
@@UltimateGenosyko any game that forces you to get good characters and do dailes so you can beat the hardest levels and actually make progress, PGR is a very good example
I think a free to play friendly game is not one that gives a lot of rare units, but one that can be completed (except for optional bosses) with frequently occurring units that are cheap to level up. For example, Arknights can be completed with 4* units. I don’t know about Nikke.
Regulus has the best VA and personality. Reverse 1999's story and gameplay is quite unique. I highly recommend it for super casuals because the characters requires a lot of resources to level up. Thankfully there's no bs rng for artifacts the only rng is only for the gacha system which in my opinion is really friendly. I can't count how many back to back and double 6 stars I've gotten. TLDR just try it
I got 3 6star characters back to back when I first started playing, ever since I have been locked into playing the game cuz I feel like I have to hahaha
The music alone made this my favorite mobile game and im proud to say ive been playing since release. Sometimes when its raining on the way to work ill just listen to opening menu theme
I was gonna say, its weird you made a review of this game on your Nikke channel, but I remembered, your Nikke channel does better than your Genshin lol Pseychie_R99 in the future?
I love the story, lore, visuals are outstanding, music is very beautiful and atmospheric. And the characters are a delight to look at and to know about their stories
Adding onto the positive aspects of the game, as someone who has an old pc that struggles w lag in most games, r99 is a great option :3 even with the high graphics it still runs pretty smoothly, it has only ever lagged or overheated slightly w ONE cutscene and ONE bossfight (specifically the one at the end of ch5) But I think this game is not only f2p friendly but low resource friendly in general, so I'd recommend it to anyone who knows how to read ;3
I ain't lying the game is good, the VA and the Art Design is definitely TOP TIER. the problem for me is the gameplay. it's sh1t gameplay and I don't like matching bullcrap. I love turnbased games specially HSR but not this kind of turned base..
What specifically about the turn based part kills it for you though Cuz saying HSR has the best turn based gameplay when its one of the simplest (compared to other games in the genre) is... an opinion Is it just the matching? Cuz that part isnt required. You actually benefit more by not dragging cards to fuse. Using two 1star cards is more efficient than one 2star card You have to strategize so that you can manage your moxie. Plus, some new bosses have specific mechanics that require special strategies. I actually enjoy this gane more *no hate btw, i get your opinion
@@nightowlowo149yeah and he said "he liked HSR specially", never wait that is was the best. So he stated his opinion. Now maybe to add to that maybe because the card system does add an element of randomness to the battles. To be fair both are gacha games and both have simple systems but can be deeper if one decides to explore the intricacies of team composition. I'm a veteran jrpg player and this card turn base system personally was not very fun with a set amount of cards to predetermine actions, there's no proper turn management like speed where enemies can take your place or cancel your turn forcing you to rethink on the fly for instance. I rather determine actions per character. You mentioned Persona that's a good standard. One of the very best turn based jrpg would be FFX, I would add Shin Megami tensei Nocturne. Of course personal preference. I wouldn't call this system shit though. I
@sobbleedits4363 and compete with Genshin???? You know what happened to WuWa even if its doing great now Thrashed to hell over the simplest things simply because it's a competitor. But tbf a lot of thw issues were the games fault. But the toxic fandom man, it gets hate for just existing 💀
Down to earth answer, the best voice acting in a gacha game across all languages and the art is so gorgeously recognizable. Gooner answer, English waifus are a seasoned palate of a taste.
been looking for a gacha game that my friend can play on the side, and your review makes R1999 look promising! i'm already happily content with another gacha game that heavily appeals to women (path to nowhere, which you did a great review of!), and i can see why PTN players like this game too
It seems to me this sort of game requires a high level of mastery and resources even more than a AAA 3D game. I cant even begin to imagine how such a complex game is being built.
I tried Reverse 1999 recently and I think it is a really well made game, it has a very beautiful art, great voice acting, good story. The main problem with the game is that it is way too quirky. The character design is a huge hit or a huge miss, there is nothing in between. The gameplay is also meh because it's rng card based, it felt like you really had no control in the combat because its random what you are getting.
Not only is it hugely random, you also only get those 3 actions per turn. The combat feels like it was intentionally designed to be the REAL enemy. When the combat is this unwieldy, the only power lvling you can get is, you guess it, pulling the latest and strongest unit. Very disappointing. Take AK for example. There's a guy who makes it a point to beat every event w only freebie characters, no gacha whatsoever. And his struggles and eventual triumph thru SHEER STRATEGY and SKILL is a testament to the game and himself. You love to see it. Unfortunately, R1999 has exactly 0% of that.
A great review! Its rare to see such a deep analysis of a gacha game but its interesting regardless. I've been playing the game more or less since launch and only found it through some random videos, its been a fun time though the game had some problems spacing out the content in the earlier patches i'm really happy with the detail the characters and world not to mention the amazing music that i added to my music playlist on youtube(The Gleaming is SO good!). I hope u do a follow up video in the future couse they are really ramping up the content especially with the new roguelike game mode.
Love the game and it's Aesthetics. I haven't skipped a day as much as possible thats how much I love it! Granted I'm a gacha but, but the characters, world and story is just absolutely divine!
I started playing it on day 1, and while it has really good art and the characters are interesting. It couldn't really hold my interest as the daily grind was pretty boring and the time between banners I felt was too long. I found myself constantly checking how long the banner had left on it instead of actually playing. What was funny is that the story makes no sense. People were hyping the story of the game, but its so difficult to follow and the villains are so superficial is a wonder why they are even put in that role. Not a game for me, but I know people that really enjoy it to this day.
Same. The aesthetics are top notch, but the rest is just very hard to get into. As a Day 1 player who left after Pickles, I returned after a whole year, and I'm kinda just taking it easy this time. Not that I have a choice, bc even stage 18(of 20) in this Haunted Motel event is already unbeatable w my old units, and it already auto-syncs my units to i3 20! I feel like this game demands heavy pace keeping, or else you're gonna be left behind forever. Presentation 9/10 Everything else 5/10 Wish it wasn't so, but alas. I'll just have to keep it as that sickly old cat who I just can't let die alone, I guess.
The story can be pretty confusing in chapter 1 and 2. I think the story really starts shining at chap 3, and you understand concepts better. I think the chapters are a little too long especially at the start but it does get better.
I'm a huge stickler for stories in my games and Reverse just couldn't keep me in that regard. Maybe it was just me but nothing made sense. Everybody spoke in riddles, and not in a good way. Things just happened with little to no build up/explanation. I do think the localization is part of the problem in that regard. It was a fun game, but I'm not the type who can skip story for gameplay. And the gameplay isn't that fun for me to completely ignore the story.
Personally the reason why I wanted to play reverse 1999 is because the gameplay feels very very similar to one of my most loved/hated game Seven Deadly Sins Grand Cross. After playing since it’s released it was just like grand cross but a bit better and more enjoyable.
Been playing since release. Good game with lots of QoL features. Doesn't take much time at all to go through your dailies. Literally 5 min and you're done.
Yeah, at first I recommend this game, but after playing for a few months I'm not recommending this game any more, because eventually you'll reach the point where in order to push through level caps you need to craft material for a material for a material for a material, A never ending Russian nesting doll of griding materials for materials
hey pseychie, long time fan of your content. I was wondering... when you record, do you ever have issues with mouth clicks? how do you get your audio set up ?
The only two nitpicks I have with this game is: 1: Resonate items/resources are a pain to grind for. 2: You should not be able to obtain 5-6 star characters after you get 5 doups of them. (I have gotten Sweetheart to her maximum portrait and I still get doups of her)
The problem is that with this video, resonance and resources are problems you won’t run into within your first month of the game. It looks very generous at a first glance because you get 30 cacophonies from the limbo shop for raising units, but then you sink your teeth by mid game is where your progress will reach a bottleneck. It’s especially a problem if you just spent cacophonies left and right and need to wait for the monthly reset or buy the battle pass. Personally speaking, I’ve been F2P since launch and very late game this becomes much less of an issue because my roster is just very well invested now and I have a ton of spare materials I can use to wait for units I like.
Started playing yesterday on the official pc port when i heard its the first anniversary, 1 free 6* and 1 free 5*, pulled in the robot girl banner with the free 10 pull, 2 5*, pulled in the beginner banner, 3 5* and 2 6*, nice artstyle cute characters nice story i already have a nice team so yeah, im in bro
The game is good. It respects my time, and it also respects its characters. 0 fanservice, no sexualized pubescent characters, and cool character designs with an interesting story to boot. The gameplay is fun too.
So I play reverse in 1999 and in my opinion, it’s pretty good yeah it’s something I don’t like about the game as example when you use your alt in that game sometimes they used to Chibi style while some don’t for some strange reason don’t know why it isn’t really consistent but updates wise. It’s pretty easy if we had to talk about the community I don’t know. I will say this is really hard at least my case to find reverse 1999 content build guides so if you guys know any TH-camr who do those types of stuff feel free to let me know but highly suggest playing the game it’s nice It’s simple The storyline is interesting and the character designs is great plus when you level up the character to give you a free skin so that’s cool!
Hello! I've been wanting to try out this game for a long while now and I wanted to ask from the long time players here if it is worth joining the game at this point in time, especially since the game just had it's first anniversary event. Is joining now still friendly as a new player or will it be too overwhelming? And also is the game still f2p friendly? Thank you!
You should! And it is even more f2p friendly now, with a. New system you can upgrade the older units and most of them went from B-C to S-A. 2.1 and 2.2 are the most enjoyable patches..you get a FREE 6 star from the standard pulls in 2.2! (Random though) 2.1 (the haunted highway/ horror patch) starts on December 5th...play it! Highly recommend it
Yes, the game it is worth it. As it has been out for a while already it has a lot of endgame content, but you won't miss out on them (expect limbo) and events rerun and are added as permanent content later. Next patch introduces a new limited unit and a main story chapter so there is going to be lot of rewards
I like the game Im a sucker for JRPG style, but no ability to farm character shards/duplicate for Portrait is brutal. I spend, but between the Portrait aspect and the upcoming extreme powercreep the game is not friendly at all. Maybe Im just sloppy with resources.
The game is gorgeous, good story, sound and visuals are some of the best I've seen from gacha games and the playability is nice too, but for some reason, after playing it everyday for 2 weeks, I got so bored of it that I just quit..
@@foreskinmcfatnutsjrpersonally i play 3 gachas, and i try not to put TOO much focus on one of them, the games are Honkai Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero, and Arknights, most of the time it's just the dailies (except Arknights since i only started this week and there's a lot of unfinished content, and I'm loving it, started it because of a tower defense event in ZZZ), and i can always shift my focus to one of the games when i need a certain character, for example i want Herta in HSR next patch so my focus is gonna be on it in terms of farming and I'm not gonna play the other two much. No problems so far and it hasn't affected my studies in college, but some people get way too addicted so i can definitely see why it seems really bad
the 20 min rule is truly painful in this game I have been playing since day 1 and after i finished the story it kinda fell off there was no new content or no lore about some of the characters they just appeared as 6 stars and that's it. However i think this game's dedication is truly marvelous and beautiful the main story is really good and like you said the OST is an absolute banger. I do want this game to become popular too but they really need to respect the 20 min rule
no new content? The game is in constant rotation of events, banners, and challenging content. Half of the farming including event shop currency and other mats can be done in 10 minutes even if you let your stamina reach max capacity (and the game regularly gives stamina refreshes between patches for players to get mats quickly). Idk if you utilized autoplay when you spent time with the game or you just completely ignored it but if you're spending more than 10 minutes every 12 hours with this game there is an issue and it ain't with the game.
saying theres no new content or lore would be dishonest. Theres new events every single month so far and each character comes with their own lore as well. Not to mention Artificial Somnambulism, UTTU, and newly added raids and the soon to be added Rougue like mode.
I started the game thinking it'll just be another gacha game I'll play for a bit then drop when it gets boring. But no, I started on IOS, then made a separate account on PC. The game it really good. Love how the daily grind respects out time. Not a lot of rng bs, and the turn base aspect is really fun.
R99's best qualities is it's relatively welcoming design for new and F2P players and its variety in the content new patches bring. You can easily beat 95% of the content with the free characters and they give you access to some of the best items through the free currency store. However, the core of the gameplay with the skill "cards" is rather repetitive and runs can be quickly axed by some bad RNG. I still play it everyday, but there's definitely better gachas out there.
The story is quite heartwrenching and the characters are amazing tbh, best ones out of other gachas out there imo, but the gameplay is not for everyone since its turnbased and there's not much to do when you've done everything and the builds don't rely on rng so you could build anyone easily, it's a perfect game for busy people for sure
Definitely, new update comes out soon, 1.9 on global, I think in two weeks? Back then for CN I’m pretty sure this was the anniversary patch (CN is a little ahead of global, so we know what characters come out for the next few patches since they release on CN server). We will get a free 6-star character Semmelweis
this is the best gacha game i’ve downloaded in my life so far. and that is saying a lot coz i’ve played hundreds of different gacha game and this game is challenging yet rewarding.
I played weeks after launch just to get Regulus (and Vertin, haha coz silly me thought she was playable). Really enjoyed the game and the story. I quit just because I don't really enjoy turn based as much, but damn, if you do? Play this game. Story is great, it made me feel things. Dubbing is very nice, too. (good to hear some familiar voices in the EN dub of WuWa, too lol)
Sort of funny you do this on your NIKKE channel as it seems opposite in many ways, though it's a rare case of someone sticking with a FotM gacha past its week of fame. Can't say it hooks me, but I respect the path they're going and I hope they won't compromise it.

yo add me
The English voice over sounds like Ai
@@TheGuyWithSuperLongHairYeah it kinda sucks at the start, though it does get better as the game goes along.
Though the accents are very good, even though they sound weird are very accurate to those cultures.
Reverse: 1999 has been a great joy to play. You can see a great care from the developers. What I think makes it stand out more is the how the developers listened to the global player base and have worked on fixing the translation issues of the game. The latest story appears to have no translation hiccups like the previous chapters. Its a big breath of fresh air seeing a developer actually listen to their global player base.
there is one translation error (minor spoilers)
the part where sophia's on the beach with regulus and lilya and the narration says "sophia put her head on her forehead"
other than that it's been fantastic
4 months later and chapter 6 was peak
Holy-
@@nightowlowo149Ch 7 was very heartWARMing
my fav. game of 2023. This is the game when you can feel the love from their maker. Despite the meager content at the beginning of the game (which increases substantially over the patches), I still played it everyday waiting eagerly for new contents to come.
Hands down the best english voice acted gacha of all time. Too bad I can't keep playing it because I have nikke and hsr already
same
Really? The examples in the video were pretty terrible imo. It's nice to have the accents, but the performances were not that great and the sound quality was awful.
only bad thing is their mic quality
AK and R1999 are pioneering the someone very decent EN vas at least nowadays. Hopefully more gachas do the same.
@@dahSweep eh thats your opinion kaibigan
Aesthetically it is almost (and sometimes is!) - jaw dropping. I hope this game succeed.

didnt expect you to review it :D
but i am happy a high quality channel like yours gives it some attention
Hey, I have adhd, can you just say if he said “yes it’s good” or “no it’s not good”
He said yes, its good.
@@ExzaktVid YAY
The art and music is so good and the plot seems interesting. How have I never heard of this game...
When that happened, That coincides with the news of DMC mobile
It's pretty new globally and somewhat niche (?), so I suppose that's why you haven't heard it, frankly I haven't seen many out-there advertisements of it.
As an Arknights player, I found myself nodding and saying just "like Arknights" a lot during this review. The sleek UI, the rarities, the general game structure, the character progression... It's all very similar.
The main difference seems to be that AK puts more stock into its gameplay while R1999 is more story focused (with its story as a whole being a lot better presented).
I've been looking for a casual gacha to play alongside AK for a while, and this might be it. It looks and sounds great, the story seems interesting and all I learned in AK about character progression stuff applies here too, it seems. I'll give it a shot!
How did it go
@@usayran Didn't last long. The gameplay didn't hook me at all, and turns out that's really important to keep me coming back in a gacha game
Gameplay can be very hit or miss for some people. After 3 and a half years of AK I just can't stand it anymore, it bores to death but R99 is a breath of fresh air in that regard. There's enough strategy and depth to keep me interested without wasting too much of my time on retries, although tbf with how broken recent operators have been in AK there's almost no need to repeat most stages when half of your roster are instawin buttons
@@hua.. I know. I play AK with 5/4 stars and leave the broken ops for the maps I'm too dumb for with with just 5/4 stars (usually CC or the last EX-CM stages of an event). I never liked playing with broken stuff, I actively avoid doing it in every game I play.
As for R1999, I just don't like turn based RPGs. I thought the story, presentation and ease-to-transition-from-AK would be enough to hook me, but it wasn't. It may someone else's cup of tea, but it wasn't mine at all.
Arknights and Reverse:1999 are the top two gacha games for me as well. Both have stellar stories, great aesthetics, and enjoyable gameplay
Will never see an orange the same way I did after playing this game
WAIT WHAT
@@IkkiRomanceits a really tragic lore thing
Apricots too
Thank you for your hard-working on this video!!! I’m a huge R1999 fan and I’m glad to see you show the details of the game!! Besides the game content, the EP and OST of R1999 are also done very well and I think it is definitely deserve to enjoy!!
Tldr: Reverse 1999 is that new Gacha game that's not really generic and in-fact unique in the market. 5/5!!!
You're one of the best gacha game reviewers I know. Soft, smooth voice, subtle jokes, I love the vibe of your videos. Keep it up man
Really happy you made a video on this!
Having come back to this game just this week because of my bad luck when rerolling for a certain character on release, the timing couldn't be better!
Playing through the story for the first time, I'm just amazed at how good the art, atmosphere, voice acting and story really are.
Hope to maybe see more in the future.

Is correct, if you are talking about 1.0~1.2
As per 1.4 Is incorrect.
I3Lv20 R10 is needed if a player want to obtain the maximum amount of free premium currency from the periodic game mode (Limbo).
I2Lv50 R9~10 were the standard in the early version of the game (1.0~1.2), but it is no longer (4* rarities are still usable in those version).
The standard is raised even much further (higher level, higher resonance) if player are not playing the meta characters.
This also means that, investing to 4* and lower rarities will be a huge waste (As they can't progress beyond I2)
And actually, player can brute force limbo with level and resonance as I did with 5* units (I3L50 R13~15). This is actually excessive investing (not recommended), and I'm not sure if it still works with 5* in the much later patch.
I never really found going like I30 60 excess investment, maybe coz I don't have a ton of character level but I have like 2 core team of 6 and few other ones i got them all like i3 60 at like R9 going for R10 soon. But i do see like lot of people stay like i3 30? just more curious where those extra resources even going to lol.
Wait, u actually need to max resonance?
I've been doing it i3 lv30 r10 since forever. I always assumed i have skill issue when doing somnambulism (i full star all except the last floor)
@@mti4601 anything past 10 is honestly a complete waste unless you just want to super min max for no reason.
@@mti4601Yeah, you need max, if you playing full party of 5* or some mixmatch with 4* rarities. Even then, as per 1.6, it is shit now when compared to Jiu.
For example, Dikke ult at MAX (p4 i3l50r15), is only doing 40% the damage of Jiu (i3L40r12) normal's incantation.
Sure, one only need i3l20r10 if using 6*.
But it's getting harder and harder that upping them more is reasonable, and not skill issue, this is especially true when compared to 1.2. where I can still clear with 5* and feel the challenge was fair, and enemy HP is not bloated.
This game combat lacks depth, when you have a hard time, usually is not the case of skill issue. Test it yourself, raise the party level by 10~15, and you see the difference, from hard stage -> so-so stage. What matters now is if you are using the newest 6* unit or not.
So, yeah, you know why I'm angry at this game,
All my 5* and 4* and 3* are reduced to garbage by the dev. They are noobtrap by this point, and should have not exist in the first place if all they do is punish players that love and invest them.
@@DisIngRaMdamm that is really interesting and sad thing to have for gacha game, i gonna hope limbus not going to that path, having exponentially more powerful ssr is one thing but having lower rarity completely useless is such a bad design
This is the best Gacha game i ever play. The game are so generous about resources and RNG that it feel like it really want you to have fun. There is no FOMO either. Any past event will be replayable in a couple of patches later. Song in this game won gaming music award back in 2023 too.
Real criticism is that there is no PvP. So there is not much reason to build your team very much. But that’s can be good too since you can enjoy pve content anytime and however you like
Wouldnt PVP be pay to win tho... like every other gacha game with pvp
It also makes it unenjoyable to grind solely for Arena like in CRK and AFK Journey
The lore has gradually improved in quality over the year since this game came out. Really I would say the lore is one of the best if you dig deep enough(sidelines, personal info,etc)
One thing I really liked about the lore is that it connects and references a lot to real life. This game made me learn more about the history and culture of other countries lol.
Patch 2.0 involved a character we learned about in 1.0. I think they know what they're doing.
This game have one of the best lore and storytelling in gacha game.
Compared to what?
@@furyberserk compared to literally every other gacha game...
What about Guardian Tales?

Is it?
I came here with almost no expectations as most reviewers of RE:1999 just show the 1.4 preview and just pretend to be hyped. Your review however even explained how the game works.
My experience so far while playing since launch is that between updates like all other gacha games, it becomes stale and you just continue to farm resources. Atleast there is no "weapon" banner and no rng from "artifacts". So over time you'll max out your whole team.
I've been playing since the game's release and you covered pretty much everything I love about this game.
Reverse is my favorite gacha at the moment!
its funny that i come from Reverse 1999 to Nikke, and you covers this game right now,..
i love Reverse 1999 and i played it alongside with nikke.. both are chill games..
True.. That's also 2 gacha games I enjoyed the most.
I played the game for 4-5 months after its release. I can say that it's peak in its presentation, from aesthetic, vibe, music, story, voice acting ..., on the same level with some of the best AAA non-gacha games for me.
But the game is held back by its gameplay. For a strategy/turn-base game, it's lacking depth, which is typical for this type of game when monetizes using gacha. The team building is limited by RNG and your resources to build characters, this often can be fixed when reaching late game with more characters in your roster, but 90% there is one best team you can use for a given stage. 4 characters with 3 skills each you bring, but you will want to use ultimate asap to avoid wasting moxie, plus with RNG cards for skills, so every turn there are only 2-3 combinations you want to use for you best team, in every stages, until you hit stats check wall, then slowly grind to upgrade your characters, repeats. This is why games like Arknight or FateGO (same gameplay but better) are still popular.
That said, I will probably come back later just for the story, it was getting really good after chapter 4 or 5.
I’ve been playing this game for bits and pieces at a time, I played it, deleted it when I finished the story and redownloaded it because I missed Voyager. To my surprise there was more story and even though I’m close to finishing it I love it regardless. It’s very fun and very free to play imo. I got a few 6 stars and was using Lilya as my main dps but it’s changed. Now Centurion is my main dps and I actually just got another six star who’s my main support. I find this game super fun and relaxing
I really like this game. The music is incredibly good, the story is unique and I love the gameplay. I really love the character too. Also the voice acting is top notch. The gacha is pretty forgiving. I have been able to get who I want and I haven't spent a dime.
i just wish there was more interesting things in end game :( love the story and visuals as well as the god tier voice acting
This is definitely a casual game, I dropped serious play because I realized that this game really shines on the story.
I thought so too, until I started going through the story boss in Chapter 5 on hardcore) Gradually the difficulty of the main content increases, but they make the transition smooth and soft enough so that many have time to level up their characters. In fact, although there are many characters in the game, there are only enough resources for leveling up; To create your personal meta, you need time and wisely choose who to level up and who not, so you have to command selectively even in the sense that I have more than 9 - 6 star characters that I cannot fully level up but only 4 of they will be my main striking force. For me, hardcore content is a challenge, that's why I completed UTTU, and I completed all the chapters on HC. So I closed everything in limbo) because of this I get complete pleasure from the game) And I also played more than +800 hours in this game)
At this point what game isn’t a “casual game”.
@@UltimateGenosyko any game that forces you to get good characters and do dailes so you can beat the hardest levels and actually make progress, PGR is a very good example
i feel like its a weird thing to love, but i absolutely love this game’s UI, it just feels v unique and satisfying
Don't play this game if you're a serial SKIPPER. You'll miss out on 80% off the good stuff
I think a free to play friendly game is not one that gives a lot of rare units, but one that can be completed (except for optional bosses) with frequently occurring units that are cheap to level up.
For example, Arknights can be completed with 4* units. I don’t know about Nikke.
Or be completed with free/starter units. Some games free/starter units are straight up horrible.
Ive been in love for reverse 1999 because of its story and ofc, doomed yuri. I like the characters so much especially Pavia (literally my bf)
Regulus has the best VA and personality. Reverse 1999's story and gameplay is quite unique. I highly recommend it for super casuals because the characters requires a lot of resources to level up. Thankfully there's no bs rng for artifacts the only rng is only for the gacha system which in my opinion is really friendly. I can't count how many back to back and double 6 stars I've gotten. TLDR just try it
Wow, probably the best review that I have seen of the game so far.
Reverse 1999 is everything i wanted from an anime English dub, love that every character has unique voice with their cultural accent
Im a dead cells player that also has r1999. I got surprised when i realised you were the same guy i watch dead cells content
So, when is Pseychie_1999 comming?
I got 3 6star characters back to back when I first started playing, ever since I have been locked into playing the game cuz I feel like I have to hahaha
I would pay to play this game because Bluepoch created a dedicated launcher for Reverse: 1999 and it loads everything so extremely quick.
The music alone made this my favorite mobile game and im proud to say ive been playing since release. Sometimes when its raining on the way to work ill just listen to opening menu theme
I was gonna say, its weird you made a review of this game on your Nikke channel, but I remembered, your Nikke channel does better than your Genshin lol
Pseychie_R99 in the future?
no please, don't tell me it's good, i don't want to fall for another gacha 😭
I love the story, lore, visuals are outstanding, music is very beautiful and atmospheric. And the characters are a delight to look at and to know about their stories
Adding onto the positive aspects of the game, as someone who has an old pc that struggles w lag in most games, r99 is a great option :3 even with the high graphics it still runs pretty smoothly, it has only ever lagged or overheated slightly w ONE cutscene and ONE bossfight (specifically the one at the end of ch5) But I think this game is not only f2p friendly but low resource friendly in general, so I'd recommend it to anyone who knows how to read ;3
I ain't lying the game is good, the VA and the Art Design is definitely TOP TIER. the problem for me is the gameplay. it's sh1t gameplay and I don't like matching bullcrap. I love turnbased games specially HSR but not this kind of turned base..
yeah it’s too complicated for me
What specifically about the turn based part kills it for you though
Cuz saying HSR has the best turn based gameplay when its one of the simplest (compared to other games in the genre) is... an opinion
Is it just the matching? Cuz that part isnt required. You actually benefit more by not dragging cards to fuse. Using two 1star cards is more efficient than one 2star card
You have to strategize so that you can manage your moxie. Plus, some new bosses have specific mechanics that require special strategies. I actually enjoy this gane more
*no hate btw, i get your opinion
Also what other turn based games do you enjoy?
Fire Emblem?
Yakuza 7?
Persona?
@@nightowlowo149yeah and he said "he liked HSR specially", never wait that is was the best. So he stated his opinion. Now maybe to add to that maybe because the card system does add an element of randomness to the battles. To be fair both are gacha games and both have simple systems but can be deeper if one decides to explore the intricacies of team composition.
I'm a veteran jrpg player and this card turn base system personally was not very fun with a set amount of cards to predetermine actions, there's no proper turn management like speed where enemies can take your place or cancel your turn forcing you to rethink on the fly for instance. I rather determine actions per character. You mentioned Persona that's a good standard. One of the very best turn based jrpg would be FFX, I would add Shin Megami tensei Nocturne.
Of course personal preference. I wouldn't call this system shit though. I
@sobbleedits4363 and compete with Genshin???? You know what happened to WuWa even if its doing great now
Thrashed to hell over the simplest things simply because it's a competitor. But tbf a lot of thw issues were the games fault. But the toxic fandom man, it gets hate for just existing 💀
Just got the game 2 days ago! I enjoy it a bunch and the stories are TOO EPIC and the game design is 👌🤩. Plus the diversty of characters is GODLIKE
11/10 yeah sure it's repetitive, but it's always fun playing every single event!
This is the best game review I've ever watched. Period. No fluff and covers every aspect of playability in short 20 mins
youve convinced me to download it and try it out. hope i enjoy it!
Any update?
Down to earth answer, the best voice acting in a gacha game across all languages and the art is so gorgeously recognizable.
Gooner answer, English waifus are a seasoned palate of a taste.
5 months later and im still playing
been looking for a gacha game that my friend can play on the side, and your review makes R1999 look promising!
i'm already happily content with another gacha game that heavily appeals to women (path to nowhere, which you did a great review of!), and i can see why PTN players like this game too
It seems to me this sort of game requires a high level of mastery and resources even more than a AAA 3D game. I cant even begin to imagine how such a complex game is being built.
Started playing a couple weeks. I have been fully consumed by the briefcase
R99 is a pure blast to play! Lore is great, updates are getting better and better.
Regulus (says to Vertin): So yOu hAvE a mOtHer?
Regulus (says to 37): So yOu HavE a mOtHer tOo!
I tried Reverse 1999 recently and I think it is a really well made game, it has a very beautiful art, great voice acting, good story. The main problem with the game is that it is way too quirky. The character design is a huge hit or a huge miss, there is nothing in between. The gameplay is also meh because it's rng card based, it felt like you really had no control in the combat because its random what you are getting.
Not only is it hugely random, you also only get those 3 actions per turn. The combat feels like it was intentionally designed to be the REAL enemy.
When the combat is this unwieldy, the only power lvling you can get is, you guess it, pulling the latest and strongest unit. Very disappointing.
Take AK for example. There's a guy who makes it a point to beat every event w only freebie characters, no gacha whatsoever. And his struggles and eventual triumph thru SHEER STRATEGY and SKILL is a testament to the game and himself. You love to see it.
Unfortunately, R1999 has exactly 0% of that.
A great review!
Its rare to see such a deep analysis of a gacha game but its interesting regardless.
I've been playing the game more or less since launch and only found it through some random videos, its been a fun time though the game had some problems spacing out the content in the earlier patches i'm really happy with the detail the characters and world not to mention the amazing music that i added to my music playlist on youtube(The Gleaming is SO good!).
I hope u do a follow up video in the future couse they are really ramping up the content especially with the new roguelike game mode.
And if you know some little details in a game, guaranteed 99% u will love this game si much.
10:10 korean being the only one not added is a crime
Out of curiosity, how was Esttel La Evesca? I loved it with Isolte and the rerun of Jessica and Green lake.
The most unique Exquisite gacha ever from last year . This game is a true artistic masterpiece!! Pure fire 🔥🔥🔥
Love the game and it's Aesthetics. I haven't skipped a day as much as possible thats how much I love it! Granted I'm a gacha but, but the characters, world and story is just absolutely divine!
I started playing it on day 1, and while it has really good art and the characters are interesting. It couldn't really hold my interest as the daily grind was pretty boring and the time between banners I felt was too long.
I found myself constantly checking how long the banner had left on it instead of actually playing.
What was funny is that the story makes no sense. People were hyping the story of the game, but its so difficult to follow and the villains are so superficial is a wonder why they are even put in that role.
Not a game for me, but I know people that really enjoy it to this day.
seconded
yea..i love the art/music but i cant get into it
Same. The aesthetics are top notch, but the rest is just very hard to get into.
As a Day 1 player who left after Pickles, I returned after a whole year, and I'm kinda just taking it easy this time. Not that I have a choice, bc even stage 18(of 20) in this Haunted Motel event is already unbeatable w my old units, and it already auto-syncs my units to i3 20! I feel like this game demands heavy pace keeping, or else you're gonna be left behind forever.
Presentation 9/10
Everything else 5/10
Wish it wasn't so, but alas. I'll just have to keep it as that sickly old cat who I just can't let die alone, I guess.
The story can be pretty confusing in chapter 1 and 2. I think the story really starts shining at chap 3, and you understand concepts better. I think the chapters are a little too long especially at the start but it does get better.
I'm a huge stickler for stories in my games and Reverse just couldn't keep me in that regard. Maybe it was just me but nothing made sense. Everybody spoke in riddles, and not in a good way. Things just happened with little to no build up/explanation. I do think the localization is part of the problem in that regard. It was a fun game, but I'm not the type who can skip story for gameplay. And the gameplay isn't that fun for me to completely ignore the story.
i find it funny how he released this 22hours ago and yet chapter 5 and 6 released on the 26 and hes on chapter 4 ending
finaly a game that ADMITS potions = drugs. i always thught potions were just alternate name for drugs.
Personally the reason why I wanted to play reverse 1999 is because the gameplay feels very very similar to one of my most loved/hated game Seven Deadly Sins Grand Cross. After playing since it’s released it was just like grand cross but a bit better and more enjoyable.
The story mode of solving puzzels and reading articles seem a bit too artsy for me.
Been playing since release. Good game with lots of QoL features. Doesn't take much time at all to go through your dailies. Literally 5 min and you're done.
Yeah, at first I recommend this game, but after playing for a few months I'm not recommending this game any more, because eventually you'll reach the point where in order to push through level caps you need to craft material for a material for a material for a material,
A never ending Russian nesting doll of griding materials for materials
hey pseychie, long time fan of your content. I was wondering... when you record, do you ever have issues with mouth clicks? how do you get your audio set up ?
The only two nitpicks I have with this game is:
1: Resonate items/resources are a pain to grind for.
2: You should not be able to obtain 5-6 star characters after you get 5 doups of them. (I have gotten Sweetheart to her maximum portrait and I still get doups of her)
The problem is that with this video, resonance and resources are problems you won’t run into within your first month of the game.
It looks very generous at a first glance because you get 30 cacophonies from the limbo shop for raising units, but then you sink your teeth by mid game is where your progress will reach a bottleneck. It’s especially a problem if you just spent cacophonies left and right and need to wait for the monthly reset or buy the battle pass.
Personally speaking, I’ve been F2P since launch and very late game this becomes much less of an issue because my roster is just very well invested now and I have a ton of spare materials I can use to wait for units I like.
I love blue women and I still couldn’t get voyager
Started playing yesterday on the official pc port when i heard its the first anniversary, 1 free 6* and 1 free 5*, pulled in the robot girl banner with the free 10 pull, 2 5*, pulled in the beginner banner, 3 5* and 2 6*, nice artstyle cute characters nice story i already have a nice team so yeah, im in bro
Thanks for the great review!
Only started a week ago, in part because of this video, having a blast!
The game is good. It respects my time, and it also respects its characters. 0 fanservice, no sexualized pubescent characters, and cool character designs with an interesting story to boot. The gameplay is fun too.
*any seemingly secualpized characters like Lucy and Bunny Bunny are intentional design with respect for culture/ has story significance
So I play reverse in 1999 and in my opinion, it’s pretty good yeah it’s something I don’t like about the game as example when you use your alt in that game sometimes they used to Chibi style while some don’t for some strange reason don’t know why it isn’t really consistent but updates wise. It’s pretty easy if we had to talk about the community I don’t know. I will say this is really hard at least my case to find reverse 1999 content build guides so if you guys know any TH-camr who do those types of stuff feel free to let me know but highly suggest playing the game it’s nice It’s simple The storyline is interesting and the character designs is great plus when you level up the character to give you a free skin so that’s cool!
omg yes, this
why is it when vila and lucy does their ult their full artwork/live2d are shown, but on other characters like mercuria and shamane not?
Hello! I've been wanting to try out this game for a long while now and I wanted to ask from the long time players here if it is worth joining the game at this point in time, especially since the game just had it's first anniversary event. Is joining now still friendly as a new player or will it be too overwhelming? And also is the game still f2p friendly? Thank you!
You should! And it is even more f2p friendly now, with a. New system you can upgrade the older units and most of them went from B-C to S-A. 2.1 and 2.2 are the most enjoyable patches..you get a FREE 6 star from the standard pulls in 2.2! (Random though) 2.1 (the haunted highway/ horror patch) starts on December 5th...play it! Highly recommend it
Yes, the game it is worth it. As it has been out for a while already it has a lot of endgame content, but you won't miss out on them (expect limbo) and events rerun and are added as permanent content later. Next patch introduces a new limited unit and a main story chapter so there is going to be lot of rewards
i added you as a friend guy. we're in the same guild alliance for nikke too. :)
I like the game Im a sucker for JRPG style, but no ability to farm character shards/duplicate for Portrait is brutal. I spend, but between the Portrait aspect and the upcoming extreme powercreep the game is not friendly at all. Maybe Im just sloppy with resources.
The game is gorgeous, good story, sound and visuals are some of the best I've seen from gacha games and the playability is nice too, but for some reason, after playing it everyday for 2 weeks, I got so bored of it that I just quit..
"I can milk you." I saw that! Ayoo?!!?!?!
i tried Limbus company, Brown dust II and Path to Nowhere after watching your reviews, all were good, gonna try Reverse 1999 too
How do you find time to juggle so many gachas
@@foreskinmcfatnutsjrpersonally i play 3 gachas, and i try not to put TOO much focus on one of them, the games are Honkai Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero, and Arknights, most of the time it's just the dailies (except Arknights since i only started this week and there's a lot of unfinished content, and I'm loving it, started it because of a tower defense event in ZZZ), and i can always shift my focus to one of the games when i need a certain character, for example i want Herta in HSR next patch so my focus is gonna be on it in terms of farming and I'm not gonna play the other two much.
No problems so far and it hasn't affected my studies in college, but some people get way too addicted so i can definitely see why it seems really bad
the 20 min rule is truly painful in this game I have been playing since day 1 and after i finished the story it kinda fell off there was no new content or no lore about some of the characters they just appeared as 6 stars and that's it.
However i think this game's dedication is truly marvelous and beautiful the main story is really good and like you said the OST is an absolute banger. I do want this game to become popular too but they really need to respect the 20 min rule
no new content? The game is in constant rotation of events, banners, and challenging content. Half of the farming including event shop currency and other mats can be done in 10 minutes even if you let your stamina reach max capacity (and the game regularly gives stamina refreshes between patches for players to get mats quickly). Idk if you utilized autoplay when you spent time with the game or you just completely ignored it but if you're spending more than 10 minutes every 12 hours with this game there is an issue and it ain't with the game.
saying theres no new content or lore would be dishonest. Theres new events every single month so far and each character comes with their own lore as well. Not to mention Artificial Somnambulism, UTTU, and newly added raids and the soon to be added Rougue like mode.
God, if only they don't put a time limit on the energy item, this would've been great
Lucky me - got the 2-Star-Radio on my first Pull xD
You forgot to talk about UTTU
this and limbus is i prefer not jp voice. i know limbus doesnt has jp voice but event in the future they will add, i will still using kr voice.
2:54 did. Channel not exist back then?
Yes. Channel appeared during the later updates, and it started with Jiu Niangzu and Getian
@6eneralJamezScanovich9 oh thats so coolio! So they might add more attack types in the future
I started the game thinking it'll just be another gacha game I'll play for a bit then drop when it gets boring. But no, I started on IOS, then made a separate account on PC. The game it really good. Love how the daily grind respects out time. Not a lot of rng bs, and the turn base aspect is really fun.
R99's best qualities is it's relatively welcoming design for new and F2P players and its variety in the content new patches bring. You can easily beat 95% of the content with the free characters and they give you access to some of the best items through the free currency store. However, the core of the gameplay with the skill "cards" is rather repetitive and runs can be quickly axed by some bad RNG. I still play it everyday, but there's definitely better gachas out there.
it is worth to play?? I want to try this game
The story is quite heartwrenching and the characters are amazing tbh, best ones out of other gachas out there imo, but the gameplay is not for everyone since its turnbased and there's not much to do when you've done everything and the builds don't rely on rng so you could build anyone easily, it's a perfect game for busy people for sure
Definitely, new update comes out soon, 1.9 on global, I think in two weeks? Back then for CN I’m pretty sure this was the anniversary patch (CN is a little ahead of global, so we know what characters come out for the next few patches since they release on CN server). We will get a free 6-star character Semmelweis
Yes
I wish the combat art wasnt chibi :(
I really like the look and premise of this game. Downloading it today, hope I'm not too late to the party.
finally a game that uses a bit of 7ds grand cross type of gameplay
started playing again cuz this vid reminded me of how much i enjoyed the game!
this is the best gacha game i’ve downloaded in my life so far. and that is saying a lot coz i’ve played hundreds of different gacha game and this game is challenging yet rewarding.
i try it and play for a while the story and voice acting is amazing but just like Honkai Star Rail not a fan of turn base it make me sleepy
I played weeks after launch just to get Regulus (and Vertin, haha coz silly me thought she was playable). Really enjoyed the game and the story. I quit just because I don't really enjoy turn based as much, but damn, if you do? Play this game. Story is great, it made me feel things. Dubbing is very nice, too. (good to hear some familiar voices in the EN dub of WuWa, too lol)
Sort of funny you do this on your NIKKE channel as it seems opposite in many ways, though it's a rare case of someone sticking with a FotM gacha past its week of fame.
Can't say it hooks me, but I respect the path they're going and I hope they won't compromise it.
