I've initially picked up this game because I don't have anything to do in Genshin as an AR60 Welkins only player with fully built units which basically meant that the content there consists of waiting for resin for endless artifact farming and waiting for banner to roll for. But once after picking up this game, Genshin almost became my side game to the point that I've even failed to obtain all the Golden Apple Archipelago chests in the recent events because I've been enjoying Arknights especially the Intergrated Strategies and its banger of a CC lobby music. Also, obtaining Ling just further cemented my love for this game.

Honestly though, Arknights has a special place in my heart, I've always thought that its gameplay was so unique(in a sense that it could make tower defense such a complex yet fun system) but at the same time also drawing you in with its story, music and drip and so far it hasn't burned me out yet😂. I've always appreciated those but goddamn did it amplify when I started watching you, you seriously keep taking the words right out of my mouth about all these things specially the vibe and the music, and it just made the experience much more exciting, being able to vibe with the fam and the community. It genuinely feels like a different world for me :DDD, anyways thank you UD for making this vid it really encapsulates why I fell in love with this game for so long now. Cheers!!!🍻

You can still enjoy it without playing the game. The music slaps hard, the story is well written but its long (thank you Kal) ,and the art is freakin good.

I play both games and honestly, Arknights' story and world building are just much deeper and addictive that it almost make Genshin's feel like a high budget kid's cartoon for me. (love the open world experience tho). The artistic aspect of Arknights is on another level as well.

[@azorailke6057]

I am sure the discrepancy between the depth of the stories is by design. Genshin is made to appeal to a wider range of audience, hence it plays safe in story themes and tone of the story. On the other hand, anyone picking up Arknights knows what they are getting into. Arknights targets a more niche, more "otaku" audience. Hence they could focus on themes that appeal to them.

[@PlatinumO]

@@azorailke6057 not quite, it actually plays pretty dangerously into some themes. Some of their stories directly attack communist or democratic beliefs and peel them layer by layer. It's truly fascinating. Since very few games dare to tread into this kind of storytelling. Another great one is Witcher 3 for example

This tower defense is extremely interactive due to the fact that, well, YOUR TOWERS CAN DIE. This means you have to pay attention at all times to the health, the damage, when to use skills, etc. It's extremely stressful at times and it's a game that is not for those who are ready to grind for hours trying to beat the same boss.

Everyone talked about the lore, characters and writing (all valid and correct). What I like about the game is that it's very easy to do dailies. If you're not farming for something in particular, you can usually do your dailies quickly by using up your sanity and checking your Base. You don't even have to do all the missions for the daily rewards. But they do add to weeklies. The game gives you just enough sanity refills, and you feel encouraged to use them if you want to. And you'll get more eventually, so there's no worries about them expiring unless you wanna farm or save them for an event.

I keep trying and failing to remember what exactly got me into Arknights and I kind of gave up on remembering. I've played a bunch of tower defense games, from Bloons TD6, Alien Creeps, Defense Zone 3 to Kingdom Rush ripoffs and a few more obscure ones I found on the Windoes 8 store ages ago when that was a thing lol. Arknights hits different, it transcends the traditional bounds of 'just a tower defense game' to reach heights that just blew me away when I really got into it. Initially, the art and music impressed me then the gameplay and story got me and I wanted more and stayed for more as the economy was so comfortable, I aways felt like I could get anything that I wanted within reason. With some games, when I play it for too long, it gets stale, with others like State of Decay 2, Fallout 4 (with a bunch of fun mods), and even Minecraft (for a time) never really got stale. With Ak in particular, as I learned the mechanics, the enemies and the operators and expanded and strengthened my roster, I just had more fun as I had so many angles to tackles stages from so much freedom to play around with. Ak has been aging like wine for me and I don't often come across stuff quite like it. The community on reddit (super helpful and informative), KZbin (showed me the ropes early game and has a bunch of cool clears and entertainment), Twitch (pretty tightly knit and wholesome) and even twitter of all places is quite nice. Is it perfect? Nope, nothing is but as a pretty picky person with what I spend my time on, I'm... very comfortable and simultaneously excited for what's to come!

[@tinybabybread]

I can relate to UD's sentiment. I've been an AK player since global launch and have had 2 instances where I dropped the game, about over a month for each "break" This wasn't cuz I lost interest in its lore/gameplay and definitely not due to its non-existent lack of content. I had attempted to drop it simply cuz I was playing too many other games that required time and investment. UD being a content creator who plays a lot of games, I'd assume his reason is similar When I started AK, I was playing Honkai so I just played both games simultaneously. Then came Genshin, then Blue Archive, and currently ToF. I just couldn't keep up with all the energy spending so I diverted to the newer games until I just realized I had left my resin capped for weeks. Despite having dropped it before though, here I am enjoying the hell out of attempting to risk26 current CC. I've been properly back since Chalter banner, and haven't missed a single rainbow medal on every CC. Not breaking that streak is a huge incentive to return for me, I guess

[@kryslunar]

@@tinybabybread I can relate myself, though more for other games. Where Arknights has been my consistent interest(other than a one week period more than a year ago), PGR and Genshin were both games that were on the edge for me before I finally quit them entirely(though I still keep up with their content). There’s only so much time in a day, much less for a hobby like gacha games. I wouldn’t blame UD for sidelining the game(especially with everything that’s up ahead in releases). I just wonder what his true thoughts on Arknights are overall, since it’s the only game he plays that he’s consistently said he “””hates””” for drawing him in. But perhaps it’s just a running joke, and I’m thinking too much into it. I do enjoy his Arknights content, and he seems to enjoy it when he covers it as well.

[@ethanle8847]

@@kryslunar well yeah, he confirms it himself. Game's boring for him, he only sticks around for the art, music, and PV/cinematics. If you look at his past AK streams its mostly reactions to these three and rarely, if any gameplay. He hasnt done story for months. Pretty sure he only comes back once in a while so the game has more time to give him stuff to react to once he returns.

[@kryslunar]

@@ethanle8847 I don’t remember him ever saying that he thinks the game is boring, and he’s even said it’s gameplay is surprisingly good. That said, there’s little doubt that ARPG and Open World gameplay is more up his alley. I wouldn’t say he seems to find Arknights boring, just _less_ entertaining on a personal and streamable level.

[@yejiyej3369]

arknights is the best! potato characters beats every full model characters ❤️❤️❤️

[@TheOnlyRinzy]

Honestly not to mention the amount of side characters/NPCs you meet in the game that you just sit there like "when are they gonna be summonable"

[@DarronGA]

Imagine being so tsundere and down bad for a whole game you make a confession video for it lmaoo. Glad to have you as a fellow dokutah man. Really appreciate the spotlight 🙏 So... Main game soon? ಠωಠ

[@debrisj4919]

The wide array of music is fantastic

[@vert2552]

2:38 not without a reason the biggest meme in AK community is that this is just a music company that does the game to boost the promotion of the music :P But yea. Arknights is really special. I am actually veteran Azur Lane player. And i mean it. Almost since its release in Japan (so years ago). And i started playing Arknights soon after it was released on global because it was also Yostar. Now i still play both games, but Arknights is the game i still come every event excited not only for new characters to pull, but also their story, and whole lore of the world, obviously music and even arts (pun kinda intended?)

[@Yosh-]

The pv animatics are the best tbh.

[@ArtistthiccArttwerks]

As a Arknights player. I'm glad you mentioned one of Arknight's vital asset: The music. I swear, even if i'm an on and off Arknight player. I would still keep myself up to date with the content because I always anticipate what's the next banger Music they release along with the event. Specially Contingency Contract Events always has banger OSTs.

[@cristianpereyra3814]

ambience synesthesia 2022 concert is coming in october... certain uncle as playable operator too... Mr. HyperGryph you are diabolical

[@grilledeel6042]

Won't you shake a poor sinners hand.....YESSSSSS~🎵

[@vgilalejandria]

I would say, I have no interest whatsoever in playing tower defense games but the animations, the story, and the music for this one seem very good. So I'll enjoy all of that from KZbin or any music playlist, if available somewhere.

[@dojiz7242]

Fortunately, all the music are available at various music places, Music KZbin, Arknights official KZbin channel (they upload many official MVs and EPs) and Monster Siren's (the fictional recording label from the game) official website.

[@TokinoSora10thApostle]

I do have AK bgm Playlist on my profile. Mind you it's hand picked to my personal preference but i believe it's a good starting point.

[@Cunnyisseur]

i really wanna try the game but i already have my hands full of games i am devoted to. i would definitely play it. if i just have more time

[@t3hDaveVODs]

I'm in this gacha hell now too and I blame you 🤣

[@kasrkin100]

the only reason why I love arknight is because the Seiyuu or Voice Actor.. Frenda finally got her last laugh now Mugino has finally answer her karma XD

[@lizabetta1704]

It's called addiction, pal. And this is a good one.

[@CheztaAhmad]

arknights is the game for me not too demanding timewise, fun to play, and completely fine to be f2p i ended up buying more packs than i planned bcs i want to spend more not bcs the game force me or demands me to spend more, but bcs i feel like i want more unique operators to play with, to increase my fun, create more creative strategies, etc. Love this game.

[@TiburionGG]

Bro I wish my audience (Spanish) were more into the game. Sadly the language barrier is quite strong in this one ç_ç I love Arknights so much

[@itsmike2736]

Completamente

[@TiburionGG]

@@itsmike2736 Me dio por mirar un creador del server español que lleva 9 meses subiendo videos y tiene 12 suscriptores. Arks es uno de los gachas mejores de la historia pero mueve 0 público hispano

[@mykkoyt8982]

If a few years ago someone told me that I'll have time to only play one video game and that it'll be anime-styled gacha tower defense I would probably just laughed them off Yet here I am...

[@qull3840]

I like "Golden Age will return again"

[@stslayer8595]

Arknights its an amazing game, one of the best worlds around. Sadly after playing for 2 yeasr like that i dropped the game, the gacha was insane bad w me, still one of the best game ngl.

[@tsunami__studios]

ah yes, the ever deepening pit that none shall escape from

[@alanway5]

ive been playing since the breedable cat girl banner with cannon guns and no buying skins has helped me a lot, i also buy every single event pack cuz i love this game

[@liviaocean2619]

i dont like tower defense genre but damn arknights... i dont even need to say anything yall know that s great

[@DragynSpyre]

Longtime player, and man, I gotta say In the beginning, I was having trouble keep up with it, since it just didn't *click* with me, but I was interested enough to keep trying. Before I realized it, I was launching it every day, multiple times, making sure my sanity never capped, pulling for every new character, getting *all the drip*... It just does something to you, man. And it's just been getting better since the relatively small-scale beginnings. Looking forward to see what else they do in the future, any more possible collabs, crazy events, and so on.

[@UnrealDreamer]

This was my exact experience actually getting into the game originally Once it finally clicks the enjoyment skyrockets

[@TsuchiGamer06]

I'm normally 50/50 on TD games as its not a TOO engrossing genre imo but the characters, story, art, music, design, YT content, upcoming anime etc are all great that I really could download this game again. I installed and uninstalled like 3 times so far 😂

[@RareNine]

there ain't no denying it, I'm an arknights simp. i see arknights video, i like. ps. day 2 player still going strong 💪

[@theohamada3126]

Well i played AK since first release until now,and i cant delete it cause i must play all the event and CC,the story in event or original story really good and i cant wait about next cc event (cause i need the mats for m3 my goldenglow or namie mama will kill me cause i not m3 her daughter skill😅)

[@ilikeanime1610]

i play Arknight when Gigguk upload a Video about playing gacha game, there is arknight, i saw it and got interested (also there are lot's of ad about the game) then i play Arknight at the time my phone is potato so my game frame is just bad, so i drop it after chapter 3 and im so bad at the game at the time, (not knowing there is guide, like KyostinV, Eckogen, Kukikaze, ect & also too lazy to search for guide and watch the guide probably), then when Dusk banner (who is real event no 1) came out then i came back to the game. Also one of the main reason i came back to the game is when i see che'n and i immedietally "Gotta get her" after playing 1 week, i just got hooked , also burnt from Genshin, Cs: Go so i thought of trying something new.
