Arknights Review by Nami Kohli

if AFK Arena defined the idle genre and Diablo defined the Dungeon Crawler genre, then Arknights, without a doubt, defines a new genre: Tower Defence RPG. Yes, there have been other TDs with heroes and skills, but nothing with this much depth and strategy. This game starts harmless, but quickly becomes a brutal, yet enjoying experience. While some higher rated operators are, in fact, quite "broken", they are, by no means, necessary. Every stage of the game is completely doable with low-rarity operators and/or with the few usefull operators that are rewarded through story or event missions. All in all, Arknights is a great game that can be enjoyed both as a side game you log into for half an hour, or as a main game you come back to multiple times a day. If it wasn't for the lack of PvP and for the fast sanity (this game's energy system) depletion, I would've easily given Arknights a solid 10/10.
