Angel Legion Review a 3D Idle Collection RPG with a very different theme that other idle games. If you like science fiction(sci-fi) game, space, ninja, cyborgs and waifu. This game have it all, let’s have a look at this unique 3D idle game in this review.
Miya, a mytherious girl, what’s her big secret? All the forces of Sheila Galaxy fight against each other for it? Will the ancient prediction come true?
As a junior star hunter, how would you lead your battle angels and Miya to get through the difficulties? Go through everything with Miya! What kind relationship will you build? Friendship, Kinship or Love.. The story goes on, you are the hero!
Long story short your aim is to become an Ace Star Hunter and you are assigned with Miya. Now it’s time to collect cyborg girls in a space adventure with Miya!!
After some dialogues, you are guided through a tutorial with your mentor in order to pass the test of a star hunter. The tutorial does it’s job and make you understand different mode of the game quickly. Learning combat, positioning, equipment, switching weapon, adventure, explore and challenges. Don’t worry we will comeback on some of the important ones later on.
The main gameplay of Angel Legion is taking a team of 6 Angels in a 3 by 3 formation(3 in front and 3 at the back row) in a turn base battle. A bit like the infamous Raid Shadow Legends combat system. You have 20 turn to beat the enemies and you can either auto or play manually. Combat is the same for nearly all content of the game. You can level up, evolve and equip your angels to increase their power.
Angel Legends does have a list of different contents beside the main story, here a list for you:
Your character is the core of everything, those angels have different roles, skills and attribute. The Class are:
You can recruit them using 3 different currency, of course each
currency have different rates. Those are fairly easy to obtained by
playing the game. Sadly for F2P, the game don’t have a guaranteed chance
for S-Rank Angels. Although i heard some rumors after 50 summons, you will automatically get an S Rank if you did not get any for that 50 summons. Can’t tell if that was true as i managed to get S-Rank every 20 or 30 summons.
Once you advance far enough in the game, you should start having some
difficulty to beat your enemies. Don’t worry it’s normal way for a game
to indicate you to upgrade your character even further than the
tutorial showed you. After a certain level a different material(Blue Crystal) may be needed to upgrade your character to the next level. But you will most of the time use Star Coupon and Force.
You may have to Evolve your character to obtain
additional star. Star will increase the max level of your character but
you will need to reach max level of 5 star. Evolve will work as a limit
break and go back from 5 star to 1 Star but will change to silver. The
same process will go on until you reach Red Star color.
They come in 6 different rarity:
Equipment can be obtained by crafting, dropping from enemy, rewards, Star Chests and Fusion. Fusion
is a great way to obtain better gear and it will be your best way to obtain S rank gear as F2P. You can also upgrade them to +12 but i would recommended to upgrade only S rank gear to avoid wasting materials. Note the chance of success decreases after each upgrade, so don’t try to waste too much material on lower rarity gear.
A 3D graphic like a PS3 game. It’s a bit outdated but it still have it’s charm. The character have some unique design but have similar face which you can always modify later on with their customization. I think it’s the only Idle game with character’s customization. The background are 3D animated which you can swap, combat background is also in 3D but don’t really have anything going on(making it look static). The combo skills is cool and the normal skill animation looks meh.
The UI is a more over clean and simple. The dialogue shows the character in 2D illustration, if you expected some 3D animation you end up disappointed like me. While dialogue is a cheap way to show a story, it can’t be use everywhere specially in a 3D scifi game where action seems to be taking place on every mission. Finally you can view in 3D your hero and rotate the character but no zoom in or out. I noticed a VR mode but i did not have any VR gear to test it out.
Other than that they recently added new 2D illustrations, some are even 2D live ones. While it looks awesome giving us a cooler looking character illustration with even more fanservice. The illustration is sadly AI made, which mean you will see the same illustrations in other games.
Good background music which change on different screen and background. You even have different music on different story stages and other game modes. Excellent sound effect of attack and skills. The voice acting was good addition to dialogue, too bad it’s only part of the story. Expect some surprise when changing background.
I would say it’s F2P to a certain extant but make no mistake Angel Legion is a P2W game. As the game requires copy of heroes to make them stronger.
The problem is that a cash player have unlimited ways to obtain any heroes of their choice if they are willing to pay.
This completely upset the balance as F2P will take months and a lot of luck in the RNG in order to reach the progression of a 1 week account of a cash player.
The cash shop is a very simple one, yet they complicated it by replacing the cash by a currency name Star Dollar. Making it difficult to evaluate the price of the packages. Star Dollar can be recharge and it’s price varies between the standard $0.99 to $ 99.99. Even the packages price look low, player should be careful about spending as you can easily get lost or forgot the cost of recharging Star Dollar.
They have a guild system with chat which also let you interact with other player.
The latest update has brought quite a change in appearance of the game. Angel Legion now has new AI illustrations with even more fan service.
Removal of the energy and recovery system and an interaction mode in 3D with maya. Of course there are other updates for fixing bugs, etc.
Yes as it’s a unique style of Scifi Idle RPG but Angel Legion does have a lot of room for improvement. That being said the game is not bad at all if ignore the P2W aspect and RNG dependency for progression.
I personally enjoyed my play through with Angel Legion as F2P. Progression is good until you hit some walls like resources and copy of S rank heroes to Evolve. The game is beautiful enough to enjoy the character customization. Skins were literally free, upgrading the base like Fallout Shelter was fun.
The updates gave the game a new look but i fear that the AI illustration can be a double edge sword for the game. As many other game have similar illustrations too, making me wonder who is the original?
