game play video 覚醒の宝珠:伝説の海賊 [千年戦争アイギス]

the good thing about the design of Japanese games is that they have very clever ways to give you freedom in the game so that there are always something for you to do, but they give you enough distractions and hurdles to keep the game challenging, there's no need to pay for extra packs or add-ons, but they just set the hurdles higher and you could either cough up the cash for power up, or do a lot more farming...

one of those power-up in this game is called "awakening/覚醒", you need the max out the 2nd phase of leveling up, gain her favor by giving her jewelries (again gained from missions) and to get 2~3 of those awaken orbs (覚醒の宝珠) as well.  On top of that you need a few particular other units at 2nd phase of leveling, plus an expensive unit that could only be bought with gems that could only be gain through missions from events.  Plus, you need about 200k to 350k of gold (typical missions give you about 5k)...  sound fun?

Did I mention the awakening mission are horribly hard? Oh and yea, not to mention these units (the key ones) that I am using are rare (platinum) and super rare (Black), which could either be gained by using blessed gems (the game grant you for perfect score once for every mission, or you can buy them)...

Anyway all of those are just build-ups for game play like this, which I love:

I had done this close to ten times now but still only 1 drop of the orb I wanted


her name is Minerva, the legendary pirate, (伝説の海賊ミネルバ) long range unit with a chance to instant kill approaching units. this is the first super rare (Black) unit I got, and ever since that she had attended every single battles.  I felt that I owe it to her to get the orbs for her awakening.
and this is the girl I am trying to upgrade (awaken)
and after you won her affection, you'd get a short story ... told in Japanese with a very nice background image...
