My Favourite App on Android : Fate/Grand Order

Maybe some fans of the anime series called "Fate" already know the existence of this mobile game, yap Fate/Grand Order. After a long time they just do collaboration with other games, finally Fate anime series has its own official game. Fate/Grand Order released by Aniplex Inc. which is also the production house of Fate anime series. This game's gameplay is quite interesting, especially the battle system and equipment, so that even people who initially did not follow the anime series Fate, interested to try this game.

The game itself begin when there's a prediction that will be an extinction of mankind occur in 2019. Players will play as the "Master" who controls a number of "Servants" to explore the past and uncover the mystery and origin of this event, saving the future of mankind of total extinction.

Fate/Grand Order uses the Trading Card Game system as the starting base of this game. The player must collect the strongest card from the gacha system and do the card leveling to strengthen. It may sound generic because almost all mobile games use the same system. But what makes this game interesting is in the battle system.

The battle system in this game is quite complicated compared to the usual mobile games. Before starting the quest, players must set up a party consisting of 6 servants (can be less), 3 servants on the front line (2 servant's that player own, 1 friend's servant), and 3 others as backups if there is one servant at the front line lost at the battle. In the battle itself, on the player's turn, the player can activate various kinds of skill from the servant or skill own player. Skill available is powerful enough, such as making the servant does not receive damage at all for 1 turn or increase damage significantly. Keep in mind that the skill has a long cooldown, so it requires players to wisely activate the skill, let alone the skill is only effect to 1 selected servant only. Each servant also has a special bar called "NP". This bar is filled with a special command, and if it is full, then the servant can issue his special command whenever the player needs it.

Players can choose servant card 3 times, out of 5 card provided every turn (if one servant has a 100% NP bar on top, then there is the addition of 1 command to execute "Special Command" the servant had). The attacking command in this game there are 3 kinds, namely "Buster", "Arts", and "Quick". "Arts", is the basic command for the servant, where the servant will attack and focus to increase NP bar and generate some critical points. "Buster" is a full-blown type of attack, the resulting damage is the greatest among the other two commands, but this command does not increase NP bar and does not generate critical points at all. Last is "Quick", the weakest attack command of all, but every 99% hit generates critical points and increase NP bar, although not as much as "Arts". Not only that, the sequence of commands also affects the effect that occurs, such that if the "Buster" command is placed in the third command, then the resulting damage rate is higher, than if placed in the first command. There is also a "Chain" system, where when a player executes 3 card with the same type of attack or all three card with the same character, in turn it will be given a special effect which may turn the battle condition.

Not enough to increase the complexity of this game. The "advantage" system is also quite complicated, because there's 8 servant type in this game. But do not worry, the pattern is easy to remember, for type "Archer", "Saber" and "Lancer" are in one pool alone, as well as "RIder "," Assassin ", and" Caster ". Exceptions to "Shielder", where this class servant receives and provides a neutral level of damage, as well as "Berserker", gives and receives the maximum damage rate.

Pace of the game itself is quite slow, both for the level of servant and master level, as well as the story progression which gives enough gap between one episode with other episodes, requires players to raise the master level and strengthen its servant. To maximize servant and master development, every day there is a weekly event quest, to earn money, upgrade material, and to maximize master's own level.
