[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Kakao Games' collection-type RPG 'Eversoul' is gaining early popularity. It has 1.5 million pre-registrations and ranked number one on both Google Play Store and Apple App Store upon release.

Collection · Growth · Beautiful Girls

The first impression of Eversoul is like an animation. The future Earth 'Eden' after the apocalypse is in crisis. Spirits designate users on Earth as 'Saviors' and the story revolves around saving the world. The music is impressive. Various communities continue to praise the music used in the opening video.

Players collect and nurture spirits in the form of beautiful girls. Spirits are divided into six classes: human type, beast type, fairy type, immortal type, angel type, and demon type. Depending on the combination, hundreds of strategies can be employed. As the story progresses past the mid-point, the strategic differences based on combinations are expected to determine duels between users or mission progress.

The game includes various content such as quests, spirit combination and growth, territory, and adventure, among which the 'Affinity System' stands out. It is content that strengthens the bond between users and spirits, allowing players to accumulate 'Affinity Points,' a kind of favorability system, and raise affinity levels through various interactions. This enhances immersion in the beautiful girl game genre. However, the large amount of content may act as a barrier to entry for some users.

Attractive Characters, ‘Gacha’ is a Burden

There are many elements that create synergy between characters. Even each line of dialogue is carefully crafted. Voice actor interview videos can be seen on the official YouTube channel. It captures the characteristics of the subculture genre well. The Japanese service conducted full dubbing separately with local voice actors. It will be serviced from the third quarter.

The so-called paid item draw called 'gacha' is burdensome. To strengthen spirits that determine the user's stats, 'promotion' must be carried out, going through stages such as ▲Epic ▲Epic+ ▲Legendary ▲Legendary+ ▲Eternal ▲Eternal+ ▲Origin ▲Transcendence, which seems to require a considerable amount of spending.
