I started playing it in the beginning but I stopped after a while, not because I hated it but I was just too busy at the time. Finding out it’s ending is kinda sad because the designs in game were actually really cool 😭
Something to note about this game is that while JP and EN are shutting down the game is still successful in CN to the point where the CN server is making their own original content and to my knowledge has no sign of shutting down so for those who still wanna experience the gameplay/music you can still try it there
Huh... I wonder why it didn't succeed in JP, EN didn't because of the launch and people complaining about some censored designs... I hated how people acted with the EN launch... I loved this game, the only reason I stopped playing it was because I stopped having enough space on my phone and Cygames decided to make the game impossible to emulate on PC, that was the biggest reason, I would have had it on my laptop if I could, same reason I don't play Guardian Tales at the moment eather...
having a graduation event before a game meets its end of service is such a cool idea ngl, since it's actually a farewell which is only accessible before that game disappears
Wait...whaat? I had a massive account that so lucky with pulls with great units and I deleted the app when the shutdown was coming close. That means I can't log back in and get my account back?
I deleted the game when the server shut down was eminent. I had gotten so lucky and had a great set of units. If I can get the app back am I able to get back in the game if I deleted it
i was playing it while the servers shut down, hit me hard cause the game released when i was in a rough patch, the story helped me get through a rough time in my life will never forget that, so long world flipper
world flipper had such fun and unique gameplay. I played for a bit until the grind became too much. Rather than these big expansive open world games, I would like to see more gachas embrace smaller scope but higher quality games.
Sad Dragalia is already gone because to me that’s one of the most interesting examples on how to handle a Gacha game. It was so absurdly generous that I believe kinda lead the game to fail. Another interesting example is a game that imploded on itself called DOT: Defenders of Textel (iirc), which kinda ruined its own economy by allowing players to TRADE units.
That’s the sad trend about gacha games it seems like being generous is often a death sentence while being as predatory as you can get away with is rewarded with big money. It’s sad that what moves game profitability isn’t how good the product is but how good it is at convincing you to put up with its psychological exploitation.
@@-Seaheart-That's why people are better off making regular games instead of gacha ones. That way, you get a complete game while the developers get paid more consistently.
@@-Seaheart- I mean, when you're in the F2P market, stuff like "generosity" is always a balancing act. Too singy and nobody plays. Too generous, and the devs make little money.
Yeah I remember that game doing everything it could possibly do to direct you away from spending money on it. Everything you could spend money was so expensive and not worth it, meanwhile the game would constantly shower you with free resources and powerful units.
I think the easiest way for a gacha game to not fail is to follow the azur lane formula. -Make ssrs easy to get, even urs have servicable rates -Go all in on making every character worth having, even if not gameplay wise -Make the ammount of characters you can have limited, but not to the point where its particuarly hard to have everyone you want -Make the skins also all out, voice lines, design, and animations. Boom, now people wanna pay for the cosmetics as theyre using the free gems to expand dock space to have the characters themselves that are worth it. If more gacha games capitalized on cosmetics and voiclines being the sticking point for premium currency rather than the gacha itself, they would have a better monetizarion and not need to worry about being too generous in the gacha. Nikke almost follows the same principle
In the world flipper unofficial discord the game has been fully archived (all of the character stories, world stories and side events) along with offline/ independent servers being available and being further developed! :D
I'm glad that you made a video about World Flipper, since it's one of the best gacha games I've enjoyed. One unique thing about it is that grinding bosses is possible even after using all your stamina thanks to random bells, letting you join a random player's lobby if they decide to host it publicly in multiplayer, and you can still get the currency from it to buy stuff like armaments from the shop. Hosting a private raid is also possible, and I absolutely love this feature as it allowed players to use stamina pots and ask people on a discord server to join a raid without the possibility of trolls, and sometimes even carry them or help one-shot a boss for faster farming. I've met many cool people thanks to this small feature.
If I were allowed to make a deal with the Nintendo Devils, I’d sacrifice Fire Emblem Heroes for five more years of Dragalia Lost in a heartbeat (I’m a feh fan, but God I miss DL)
You know a game was beloved by its players and community when said players make private servers for the game so they can replay it long after the EoS happened. Dragalia Lost was the only gacha game I've played for more than 2-3 weeks (only recently matched by ZZZ too but that's beside the point) having played it from beginning to end. Such a great game, RIP
I honestly wish they would take the games they spent years on and completely convert all the content into a functional game you can just straight up buy. I'd likely give World Flipper a shot for 20 bucks or so.
Honestly all gachas should get the Megaman X Dive treatment. I have a VERY strong feeling of schadenfreude with every live service that goes belly up, it fills me with glee, cause I think every gacha is inherently predatory and made to be as inconvenient as it can possibly be for no reason other than customer exploitation. But I also understand there's a LOT of people who are genuinely invested in these characters/gameplay/story and it pains me that there is no real way for them to preserve that experience and share it like any other game. Which is another reason why I hate live services, even when they are mildly good there's always the looming shadow of it being suddenly shut down one day, left to rot in the void, unplayable.
@@grayrodent8232 Yeah, even if it's no what Megaman X-Dive thing They could at least do the Kingdom Hearts Union-X one Where they replace the Game with a Menu of all your Statistics and an option to visualise all the Story Cutscenes
RIP World Flipper, you will be missed 🥺 thank you for the 75$ Amazon gift card prize from the global launch giveaway 💔 I'll miss you Shiro and Rolf, the bestest boys of World Flipper 🥺💔
this is the type of game that if they made a version without the gatcha (get units and other items through story/quests/grinding, max lv cap by default) for $10-$15 on mobile and steam/console shops I could definitely see myself and lots of other people playing
I remember being excited for the English release of this game. I picked it up as soon as I could and instantly saw the lack of care the dev for the English version had. Don’t know how it was near the end, but at launch you couldn’t spark if you didn’t do paid summons. Several characters monuments were also just in Korean even if your language was set to English.
I'll forever cherish my times with World Flipper, it's very surprisingly nicer compared to other gahcas, it's the very first gacha I've been with from beginning to end. I love everything about it and I'll miss using units to fill up the screen with all their projectiles, especially Marina.
After years of playing world flipper as my main gacha this saddens me so much, the final event, people from the discord with which i played and requested guidance so many times saying goodbye, the hours and hours building teams, looking at the drive docs with the new meta, rushing to pull for XBianca cause it wouldn't come back in like 5 months, man, I never thought I'd be genuinely sad for an EoS, and I really can't think of another game that could make me feel like this, goodbye WorldFlipper.
I played World Flipper sense it first launched and fell in love with it's unique gameplay. I also really enjoyed the amazing story and awesome cast of characters. I did take a break from the game because I wanted try other games and the newer updates were kinda slow, but I still really loved the game and was heartbroken of the news of the game's termination. I came back to finish the story and I'm glad I did because the story final chapters were phenomenal with an that ending that made me cry. I really hope World Flipper finds second life again someday because it was truly a fantastic game that I glad I played!!!😊😢😭🥰❤❤❤❤❤
I really wish you would release these videos like a week before shutdown to give viewers the chance to actually try it out for themselves. It's always so frustrating to watch these videos and seeing that it shut down just a few hours earlier.
@GearDiego23 no, Regis' Voice actor is Tomokazu Sugita who also has some well known roles. King Johnson is voiced by Takehito Koyasu who is the person you're talking about ^^ The two are together alot so it makes sense for the mixup lol
whoa dragalia lost mentioned, i remember world flipper coming out after it, im surprised it outlasted dragalia, but it makes sense, you should do a deep dive on it since its a very unique gacha game in several aspects, from the controls, the attempt to be a mobile coop arpg, and ghe fact it was a joint venture between cygames and nintendo who are incredibly reluctant to share anything, it event got a fire emblem heroes collab
This game was the first gacha I fell in love with! Generous and amazingly visually appealing. I really hope they don't move to 3D for the "another dimension" bit.
I found this game late 2021 and immediately fell in love with it. The gameplay was so simple and the characters were so lovable that I just couldn't help but play it more! Unfortunately, due to psychological mumbo jumbo, I ended up only playing it around the holidays and losing my progress each time I stopped playing. I regret not playing it more because it has to be one of my favorite gacha games with one of the most banger soundtracks ever. If anybody else wants to find a good gacha game to fill the void, Touhou Lost Word is still active, though it can be a bit confusing at times. And The Battle Cats is also a great game if you're willing to do some grinding. I hope all of you have a great day!
I actually played World Flipper a few years ago, and it was quite a good time. I loved the art style and unique gameplay mechanics. I'm surprised it lasted this long but I'm happy it did. I also played Dragalia Lost which was also by Cygames, and that was honestly one of the best gachas I've played. I was real sad to see that game EoS as well.
Great video, I played World Flipper back when it initially released in JP as I was a fan of Cygames but didn't play for very long as I was more preoccupied with Granblue Fantasy at the time.
I really like their visual choice, 16bit pixel art style with colorful color and amazing visual effect even for such small character is really lovely Story is simple but interesting Sometimes i'm forgetting this in not develop by cygames themselves It's kinda shame they can't survive much longer because the gameplay kinda stagnate the more they progressing I hope what they tease is proper game of world flipper on console
Miss u in nikke but your recent videos have the highest quality I could dream of in the gacha community, this end of service are doing more good that we can think because the issue with lost media is not about forgetting something but about not being able to learn and repeat mistakes, thanks for your hard work
@icession4872 oh boy since introducing higher than EX fighters the game started slowly dieing, not to mention like two months before the announcement the was just no content except new Kyo
@@shorterazer6858 dang so the collabs died down huh or mismanaged I suppose which sucks because I was there when the Tekken Collab happened iirc then I stopped at the Wwe collab cause I couldn't play anymore because of storage problems which is I still have the same phone to this day I'm guessing it's gonna be 10gb+ and welp I'll hope he'll make a video on KoF:AS indeed.
@@icession4872 oh we got second tekken colab and it was dogshit, then street fighter 5 colab was good, virtua fighter colab was good, guilty gear colab was goated tho, but street fighter 6 was the last one and it got truly paywall charcter
I’m quite sad World Flipper EOS’d, especially after being a DL fan (still sad it’s gone because it was one of my first online multiplayer experience growing up. I’ll never forget building specific units for team comps in High Dragon Trials / the Agito Uprising / Raid bosses, etc.) I fell in love with the pixel art chibis and the pinball gameplay had surprising depth for it being literally anime pinball. I ended up quitting a few months after playing just because I kept getting busy at the time.
omg i was sooo into this game and so involved in the community and i havent played it in a hot minute but i was still sad to see it go. im happy to see you make a video on it!!
10:51 Finally someone is gonna address how horrible the Sakura Wars roll out was, make sure to mention how DW shutting down affected negatively FGO in the last couple of years 😭 Also nice vid man, I played WF for a few months and had always a soft spot for this game, it's really unfortunate that it was shut down 😔
I'm gonna miss this game. Played for nearly 2 years and stuck with it until eos. Characters were just so fun and interesting, damn shame they might not see the light of day again. Hopefully I am very wrong though. See you all on the flip side!
Honestly, this game helped me cope with the fact that dragila had its eos. And in played through the story fully. And helped me understand many things. I wasn't until I heard that jp had its eos. I didn't feel as devastated as Dragani lost,but I had some regrets while playing. For every five star I got, I screen shot it in remembrance of the game. Now that I know the game is ending today, I feel kinda let down since it was made by cygames. But other than that. I feel as though the game did me justice❤❤❤
I came to world flipper at launch since it was around the time Dragalia Lost announced EOS and absolutely loved it, it essentially was my rebound. I had the same thoughts with Dragalia where the IP that Cygames managed to build has so much potential for a Re-Dive similar to what princess connect did that i hope when the gacha genre calms down they can resurface.
The only mobile game that I fell in-love with. What I hate about live service games is if they die, they die for good. A big part of me really hopes that it becomes a trend where mobile games that are shut down is turned into standalone offline games, Megaman ReDive and Metal Slug Attack Reloaded for example. In that way, I could always revisit these games virtually forever. World Flipper would be a very fun standalone game since it's already satisfying to watch a pinball machine go wild. I'm calling it here here. World Flipper: Reflipped, coming soon. 😭
It’s still very bitter to me, I absolutely love Vainglory but greed made its downfall inevitable, it’s still playable online but absolutely nothing new, riddled with bugs and long queue and error yet people still play them to this day.
I had a fun time playing World Flipper in the JP server from back in like 2018. At the time, I was juggling World Flipper, Crash Fever, and some other gacha games but World Flipper was the most simple but easy to get into gacha game ever. So many good waifus to collect and stories to listen to while playing this game. Going to miss this game 😥
This was one of the best Gacha Games in Years! It was creative and the story was super good! Im glad they could finish their story! But dont mourn my friends they actually registered a new World Flipper IP recently in JP so we can hope
I played Dragalia Lost from launch to EoS, then moved to World Flippper and have now played that from launch to EoS and now I don't have another similar-looking gacha to jump to, pretty sad. Gonna miss it, but I guess this is my chance to leave behind the gacha life.
Shit. This hit me harder than I expected. I knew it EoS was announced. I knew it was coming. I forgot it was today. I’m gonna miss this game. It was such a breath of fresh air in the gacha landscape. It’s one of the very few gacha games I spent money on (I’m almost always f2p). Had a full electric team centered around a 3 star that I adored the design of (the rest of my units were all 5 stars though lol). Good bye world flipper. I hope another one like you comes along.
I think that every end of service can be handled better but this is one of the better ones. I would like to see one where the developer just makes the game like an archive single player game but of course there is costs associated with that.
It should be mentioned how great the writing is in english. The writers were so good and I had proper chuckles and funny moments, especially when the last event they ever had deadass had a character talk about improving their "rizz". Nimbus and Alk's dynamic is especially well done.
Man I was so addicted to this game in college it was actually so good. It’s a shame it shut down I never got to finish the story. Also I know the whole OST isn’t posted online still we really need to fix that somehow.
Wow. This looks really cute and neat. I really would've liked to test it out just for the interesting concept. I feel like it's interesting, but pinball is something that is inherently built around limiting your control as the player. I can see how it felt like team comps and your gear was more important when skill is meant to play a smaller role to a degree.
honestly just wish they would put the story mode avaible for offline play & give us tate mode support. I honestly think this combat system was so much fun and we dont get enough games in this style! o7 WF
started playing it months ago and managed to beat it just in time for the finale, although it ended just as i was reading the finale lul... im gonna miss it so much, it was such a fun ride all around, i loved all the characters so much.. Nimbus, Alk, Stella I hope we see u again someday 😟 (untill then hurray for fan servers!)
Not only did I enjoy the gameplay, this is one of the ONLY Gacha game (not based on another property) that made me care about the characters and their stories. I even did the character's side stories, not just for the bonus beads I got, but because I genuinely cared about it. I hate how Gacha games try to force players to work together like sending Friend Points, making Guilds/Clans, and Raid Modes where everyone HAS to participate to get rewards. But World Flipper just allowed you to co-op with whoever was available at the time along with the option to do questions solo or invite specific friends. There is just SO MUCH this game did right to create an amazing experience and it just genuinely breaks my heart that it didn't last longer.
I LOVED THIS GAME! The voice acting was perfect, the graphics were awesome, and gameplay was superb. It's kinda sad it came to an end. I hope the game is re-released somehow
Speaking of Cygames, to set more context towards another of their games, I would like en episode of End of Service on Dragalia Lost that you mentioned. Cause that one's shutdown hit even harder compared to World Flipper, especially when there's no currently no sign of a revival coming. And I know you're gonna say you can't do an episode towards a gacha you can't play anymore, but thankfully, there's private servers available with the majority of the content playable.
The story of this game took me for so many turns through the last few days, and even though I never got to max rank or got every unit... I still enjoyed everything I got to do. All of these characters and the story will always stay with me. Until we meet again in Starview Village! Thank you for everything, World Flipper!
I used to play in JP and was pretty good actually. my favorite part was the raid system mechanic, it usually was pretty quick at finding other players but near the end they added a bot system that could choose a team to fill the gaps (it the bot used a player team that already beat the boss so you don't have to worry about it). Fun fact (?) WF had some furry characters and they were some of the few that focused more on the female furry characters, this is rare because most gachas with furry characters try to hide them by making them lower rarity or focus on the male ones.
I played World Flipper for a little while and I really enjoyed it. Finding out the EoS notice really made me sad even if I didnt play it anymore. I am glad to have been a part of the community, even if it was for a small bit. See you on the flip side gamers o7
Man i was a day 1 player, the end of service notice killed me man the game was so good i always kept it on the side monitor to farm and the TAs were peak (except thunder lmao)
I loved this game, the only gacha I could play just on the go and have fun knowing I can get a bunch of pulls from nowhere and randomly get 5 stars like crazy. I’m sad I never finished the story I loved the art and the character, never would I thought it would die 😢
i remember playing this game, the co-op experience in the first week is awfull, lot's of unsync that sometimes i don't know what is happening. But i have so much fun due to how simple the gameplay is.
World Flipper was great. Hopefully I will hear about a non-live service version. 💙 I just came into a time in my life where I wanted to be more focused, and I kept hitting the end of the story quickly after an update. If I had known the story had ended, I definitely would have come back.
This game made me happy like no other! I played it by chance, looking for new games, and stuck with it for a few years. It had so much charm, and I am glad it collected such a fun community~
Great video! I really love hearing you talk about gaccha games! I would love some kind of video about Valkyrie Crusade, I played that game so much for a long period, but then they changed so much that it became a game just for whales and now it is out of service, only the gallery of all the characters remains.
World Flipper had my favorite cast of character designs, it was so varied and colorful. It was also the only gacha I had with more than one playable female furry character instead of the same copypasted buff guy in every other gacha doomed to the lowest rarity. My favorite design wasn't a furry though. Cirqueharle was an idol, a circus master, a harlequin and a harlequin rabbit (irl rabbit breed that has differently colored fur in both halves of their body) which was reflected on her hair and clothes, she was so damn cool and her second art went so hard. Rest in peace my wife Mia you will be missed, best tiger girl to ever exist, I had both of your alts and used them even off-meta.
I wish they'd kept the game on life support for longer, because I really loved this game. Same with Dragalia Lost. Two of the best mobile games, gone. The uniqueness of it being a pinball game, combined with extremely cute and interesting character designs really drew me to it. It wasn’t the usual gacha waifu combat simulator trash, it felt interesting and cool. The loading screens were really annoying, and part of the reason I didn’t get much time to play it was that I’d poke at it for a little bit every few months and have to download a massive update. really wish they had done an offline version.
Didn't realize this ended, this was atleast to me the game I would occasionally play when I'm waiting for just screwing around on my phone. Didn't really keep up with it or play it a ton but did quite enjoy it.
I played world flipper like 1-2 years ago, it was fun but i stoped playing because the late game requires a lot of grinding, there was this 5* unit i think his name was orochi, and you could get him for free, and he was at least at the time a must have in most teams, but in order to get him you needed to farm a boss in a super high difficult unumerous times, and it was really hard if u din't rerrol or used the coop battle, and that's the reason i stoped playing, it was just to damn grindy ( sorry for bad english, i'm still learning )
such a charming and unique game. it did always feel rather generous and honestly despite the heart break of missing the rainbow crystal during gacha it was hype as heck
i played jp world flipper religiously and it was honestly one of the more fun gacha games out there. i was so sad to see it go, and even sadder now that the global client is now also gone. hopefully we get something new based from the cryptic tweet the jp twitter account posted.
Played this game on global, maybe 2 years ago. Was honestly pretty good. The flipper mechanics were pushed enough so there was really strategy in fights, and even with a good build, you had to time your stuff. Gacha was also very correct. I had a good couple of nice 5-stars, and you could pull for one specific element to reduce the rng for getting a good build. Multiplayer was OK. Similar to games like Naruto Ninja Blazing, it was mostly about coming with my underlevelled team, trying to join a lobby with 2 monster players and hope they don't kick me so I can get more materials for less stamina. Although imo, the meta was disastrously handled, and that's what killed my experience. Early on, I had maybe 20-30 wind units, but when I checked meta guides, I had only one option : Souchiro build, and I missed core units. Despite a fair amount of characters overall, there were very few viable strategies. We're talking about ~2 to 4 meta builds per element. Arguably less in some cases, since if a wind build didn't lead Souchiro, you pretty much knew that it was gonna suck. A team contains 6 units, and you generally want all 6 specific characters of a meta build to be optimal. Backup options existed, but were very limited as well. At the end, regardless of the team, you just wanted to get the best damage output, and there were only so many ways to achieve this, especially where some strategies are often only viable for specific elements. This could explain the inexistant player expression. The worst part was that I had a very decent 5-stars pool as a f2p. For those who know, I had all the good wind ones (missed Veron), and also all the 5-stars required for most thunder teams (missed Summer Bercetia). Would've been perfect if I actually owned the cheaper units that I missed for literally every single build. Azel, Rams, Adil, etc. Wherever you were, I hate each of you. At the end, I kinda loved it. The economy was rather generous and monetization was really not agressive, only staying to the basics "buy more stamina or pulls", and a few event popups here and there. The community was sick. There were very detailed guides, and an active discord to help people know easily what build they can make. There was also the "World Flipper Collection Tracker", an online tool where you marked all the units and weapons you had, and when you asked stuff on Discord, you could just paste in your tracker collection link and people would immediately see everything you had, resulting in very efficient and pleasant help.
I hope you do a video on Magia Record, cause I think it’s pretty interesting how it lived and died, both by effectively speedrunning the en server and how the anime came both as a boon and a curse. There’s also probably a bunch of other stuff like the animation of the transformations, including event ones, going down with time
I was always interested in trying this game, but never had a device until recently, around when they announced they were ending service. A Pinball RPG is a pretty unique thing that we really don't see much of, and would of been cool to see it get an offline mode.
gosh i loved world flipper when it released. the soundtrack had me humming it for months. i left because i wasn't in the mood for the late game grind as i was there for some pinball
Man, I remember I really wanted to play this game when I downloaded it from the Japanese Appstore, but an error prevented me from logging in (this was like 3-4 years ago can't remember) and was disappointed because I was hunting for gacha games to play back then. Kinda feel sad to see this go away for sure as like you say, it was refreshing to see a new take on the gacha formula, at least in the form of a pinball game, which I found neat at that time
This game helped me get distracted during a bad period of my life and was a place that i met a lot of good friends, it's sad to see how it ends but i will always carry these good memories with me.
9:00 That reminds me of Naruto Ultimate Ninja Blazing. They did also have an encyclopedia that was next to the login screen and when the game shutdown, you could still open it and look at all the characters information entries of the chars you got, but you couldn't login anymore or download it from the app store. After all, it would be kinda weird to have a game advertised on the app store, that isn't playable anymore.
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius announced it's global EoS to the end of october (not the jp servers), it's an interesting game to comment about because it's one of the oldest gacha games that was running until now, it had it's problems like the crazy power creep and the neo visions problems but overall the game was nice, definely you should check it out
I discovered this game when i entered university, I played it for a bit, found it really fun then forgot about it, I'm now recently graduated and I actually just learned it got terminated by watching this video, i'm a bit sad I didn't spend much time on it while I actually wanted to, but well, it's too late Anyway, great video
I got so busy with life I didn't even notice and by the time I remembered World Flipper it was just gone....... Honestly it feels unreal that I just wouldn't remember to play it.
I playerd Dragalia lost for like 1 year before shut down....the best gacha i ever played, i play a bunch of gacha, but never in my life i was so chill when plaiyng a game, challenging, with amazing design and music, good controls, very friendly community and VERY GENEROUS (probably this lead to it's end), yiu should analyze this, it's a gem. If someone wants to play something very similiar, granblue Fantasy Relink (also made by Cygames) made me remind of dragalia a lot, from the farming to the boss style, i know you will love it if you loved Dragalia.
I played world flipper when it dropped, played when it ended, and played it many times in between, and I always had a good time with the game, the unique ideas and themes and gameplay. I'm gonna miss it
I'm glad I don't pay for any gacha games. I wouldn't want to pay for games that would be terminated so soon. Such a shame a good game got pulled out. I was addicted to World Flipper at some point.
Ah man, now I'm sad that I didn't get back into it after the end of service was announced. This game wasn't perfect, but I did enjoy its gameplay, and I found it to have a definite charm. If I recall correctly, I stopped playing because I'm usually a bit of a completionist with games, and when you play gacha games like that, they get very grindy. It was the only gacha game of which I experienced any of the build up towards the lauch.
12:20 You could skip the pull animation entirely...but there was also an option in the settings to turn off the "fake out" animation, so every time you got that animation it was a guaranted upgrade to that pull.
When a gacha game has an original combat system it immediately makes me want to try it. That was the case here. I tried it at launch and played for some months, but when it became pure grind with autocombat I thought it was time to leave. Really enjoyable until I reached that point.
I found this game while searching for another gacha on the Apple Store and the idea alone got me to download it. The core game was pretty fun, but once I started getting good units, the fact you could just autoplay the game to win most challenges made it lose its appeal. I thought the pixel art aesthetic was really cool, though!
I started playing it in the beginning but I stopped after a while, not because I hated it but I was just too busy at the time. Finding out it’s ending is kinda sad because the designs in game were actually really cool 😭
same buddy my heart is breaking
you can have an offline version, in world flipper dc you'll find everything
Honestly same.
@@costeauudc?
@@costeauuIs it starting from zero or you can use an old account?
Something to note about this game is that while JP and EN are shutting down the game is still successful in CN to the point where the CN server is making their own original content and to my knowledge has no sign of shutting down so for those who still wanna experience the gameplay/music you can still try it there
I too was abt to point that out.
Huh... I wonder why it didn't succeed in JP, EN didn't because of the launch and people complaining about some censored designs... I hated how people acted with the EN launch... I loved this game, the only reason I stopped playing it was because I stopped having enough space on my phone and Cygames decided to make the game impossible to emulate on PC, that was the biggest reason, I would have had it on my laptop if I could, same reason I don't play Guardian Tales at the moment eather...
where can i here every sountrack?
Wait CN as in China ? THe game is still up there? How come they get to keep the game there than?
@@Lucario1121 Money. CN mobile game market is huge and sometimes can make up almost 50% or more of a mobile game’s total income.
having a graduation event before a game meets its end of service is such a cool idea ngl, since it's actually a farewell which is only accessible before that game disappears
In the worldflipper discord the community has created an offline mode for global that does have full gameplay
what is the name?
Wait...whaat? I had a massive account that so lucky with pulls with great units and I deleted the app when the shutdown was coming close. That means I can't log back in and get my account back?
I deleted the game when the server shut down was eminent. I had gotten so lucky and had a great set of units. If I can get the app back am I able to get back in the game if I deleted it
How? You have to sign in with FB or Google to load the save and it won't connect if server is shut?
@@kronika8089 starpoint, as said already it can be found in the world flipper discord
i was playing it while the servers shut down, hit me hard cause the game released when i was in a rough patch, the story helped me get through a rough time in my life will never forget that, so long world flipper
hope life is treating you better now man!
Hey, it really did flip your world around :) Hope things are better for you now!
damn, the ending cutscenes should've hit real hard for you
world flipper had such fun and unique gameplay. I played for a bit until the grind became too much. Rather than these big expansive open world games, I would like to see more gachas embrace smaller scope but higher quality games.
Sad Dragalia is already gone because to me that’s one of the most interesting examples on how to handle a Gacha game.
It was so absurdly generous that I believe kinda lead the game to fail.
Another interesting example is a game that imploded on itself called DOT: Defenders of Textel (iirc), which kinda ruined its own economy by allowing players to TRADE units.
That’s the sad trend about gacha games it seems like being generous is often a death sentence while being as predatory as you can get away with is rewarded with big money. It’s sad that what moves game profitability isn’t how good the product is but how good it is at convincing you to put up with its psychological exploitation.
@@-Seaheart-That's why people are better off making regular games instead of gacha ones. That way, you get a complete game while the developers get paid more consistently.
@@-Seaheart- I mean, when you're in the F2P market, stuff like "generosity" is always a balancing act. Too singy and nobody plays. Too generous, and the devs make little money.
Yeah I remember that game doing everything it could possibly do to direct you away from spending money on it. Everything you could spend money was so expensive and not worth it, meanwhile the game would constantly shower you with free resources and powerful units.
I think the easiest way for a gacha game to not fail is to follow the azur lane formula.
-Make ssrs easy to get, even urs have servicable rates
-Go all in on making every character worth having, even if not gameplay wise
-Make the ammount of characters you can have limited, but not to the point where its particuarly hard to have everyone you want
-Make the skins also all out, voice lines, design, and animations.
Boom, now people wanna pay for the cosmetics as theyre using the free gems to expand dock space to have the characters themselves that are worth it. If more gacha games capitalized on cosmetics and voiclines being the sticking point for premium currency rather than the gacha itself, they would have a better monetizarion and not need to worry about being too generous in the gacha. Nikke almost follows the same principle
In the world flipper unofficial discord the game has been fully archived (all of the character stories, world stories and side events) along with offline/ independent servers being available and being further developed! :D

Catch you all on the flip side…
Well played
nice one

I'm glad that you made a video about World Flipper, since it's one of the best gacha games I've enjoyed.
One unique thing about it is that grinding bosses is possible even after using all your stamina thanks to random bells, letting you join a random player's lobby if they decide to host it publicly in multiplayer, and you can still get the currency from it to buy stuff like armaments from the shop.
Hosting a private raid is also possible, and I absolutely love this feature as it allowed players to use stamina pots and ask people on a discord server to join a raid without the possibility of trolls, and sometimes even carry them or help one-shot a boss for faster farming. I've met many cool people thanks to this small feature.
RIP dragalia lost :(
yea
I remember wanting to give that game a shot, but I couldn't move it to my SD card for some reason.
Ended up just playing Granblue Fantasy instead.
I love that game
If I were allowed to make a deal with the Nintendo Devils, I’d sacrifice Fire Emblem Heroes for five more years of Dragalia Lost in a heartbeat (I’m a feh fan, but God I miss DL)
You know a game was beloved by its players and community when said players make private servers for the game so they can replay it long after the EoS happened. Dragalia Lost was the only gacha game I've played for more than 2-3 weeks (only recently matched by ZZZ too but that's beside the point) having played it from beginning to end. Such a great game, RIP
I honestly wish they would take the games they spent years on and completely convert all the content into a functional game you can just straight up buy. I'd likely give World Flipper a shot for 20 bucks or so.
Honestly all gachas should get the Megaman X Dive treatment.
I have a VERY strong feeling of schadenfreude with every live service that goes belly up, it fills me with glee, cause I think every gacha is inherently predatory and made to be as inconvenient as it can possibly be for no reason other than customer exploitation.
But I also understand there's a LOT of people who are genuinely invested in these characters/gameplay/story and it pains me that there is no real way for them to preserve that experience and share it like any other game. Which is another reason why I hate live services, even when they are mildly good there's always the looming shadow of it being suddenly shut down one day, left to rot in the void, unplayable.
@@grayrodent8232
Yeah, even if it's no what Megaman X-Dive thing
They could at least do the Kingdom Hearts Union-X one
Where they replace the Game with a Menu of all your Statistics and an option to visualise all the Story Cutscenes
RIP World Flipper, you will be missed 🥺 thank you for the 75$ Amazon gift card prize from the global launch giveaway 💔 I'll miss you Shiro and Rolf, the bestest boys of World Flipper 🥺💔
this is the type of game that if they made a version without the gatcha (get units and other items through story/quests/grinding, max lv cap by default) for $10-$15 on mobile and steam/console shops I could definitely see myself and lots of other people playing
I remember being excited for the English release of this game. I picked it up as soon as I could and instantly saw the lack of care the dev for the English version had. Don’t know how it was near the end, but at launch you couldn’t spark if you didn’t do paid summons. Several characters monuments were also just in Korean even if your language was set to English.
I'll forever cherish my times with World Flipper, it's very surprisingly nicer compared to other gahcas, it's the very first gacha I've been with from beginning to end. I love everything about it and I'll miss using units to fill up the screen with all their projectiles, especially Marina.
World flipper is one of the games that makes me really sad to see end, it's a great concept and a fun game that just didn't catch on well
After years of playing world flipper as my main gacha this saddens me so much, the final event, people from the discord with which i played and requested guidance so many times saying goodbye, the hours and hours building teams, looking at the drive docs with the new meta, rushing to pull for XBianca cause it wouldn't come back in like 5 months, man, I never thought I'd be genuinely sad for an EoS, and I really can't think of another game that could make me feel like this, goodbye WorldFlipper.
I truly wish I could play it all again
I played World Flipper sense it first launched and fell in love with it's unique gameplay. I also really enjoyed the amazing story and awesome cast of characters. I did take a break from the game because I wanted try other games and the newer updates were kinda slow, but I still really loved the game and was heartbroken of the news of the game's termination. I came back to finish the story and I'm glad I did because the story final chapters were phenomenal with an that ending that made me cry. I really hope World Flipper finds second life again someday because it was truly a fantastic game that I glad I played!!!😊😢😭🥰❤❤❤❤❤
I really wish you would release these videos like a week before shutdown to give viewers the chance to actually try it out for themselves. It's always so frustrating to watch these videos and seeing that it shut down just a few hours earlier.
Bye World Flipper.
Regis gang forever
I miss regis. Best character ive ever experienced
Was Regis the guy from the techno dome world? with DIO's VA?
@GearDiego23 no, Regis' Voice actor is Tomokazu Sugita who also has some well known roles. King Johnson is voiced by Takehito Koyasu who is the person you're talking about ^^
The two are together alot so it makes sense for the mixup lol
whoa dragalia lost mentioned, i remember world flipper coming out after it, im surprised it outlasted dragalia, but it makes sense, you should do a deep dive on it since its a very unique gacha game in several aspects, from the controls, the attempt to be a mobile coop arpg, and ghe fact it was a joint venture between cygames and nintendo who are incredibly reluctant to share anything, it event got a fire emblem heroes collab
This game was the first gacha I fell in love with! Generous and amazingly visually appealing.
I really hope they don't move to 3D for the "another dimension" bit.
I found this game late 2021 and immediately fell in love with it. The gameplay was so simple and the characters were so lovable that I just couldn't help but play it more! Unfortunately, due to psychological mumbo jumbo, I ended up only playing it around the holidays and losing my progress each time I stopped playing. I regret not playing it more because it has to be one of my favorite gacha games with one of the most banger soundtracks ever.
If anybody else wants to find a good gacha game to fill the void, Touhou Lost Word is still active, though it can be a bit confusing at times. And The Battle Cats is also a great game if you're willing to do some grinding.
I hope all of you have a great day!
grand summoners has a similar vibe to it and with the recent changes the game it became a chill game to play
I actually played World Flipper a few years ago, and it was quite a good time. I loved the art style and unique gameplay mechanics. I'm surprised it lasted this long but I'm happy it did. I also played Dragalia Lost which was also by Cygames, and that was honestly one of the best gachas I've played. I was real sad to see that game EoS as well.
Great video, I played World Flipper back when it initially released in JP as I was a fan of Cygames but didn't play for very long as I was more preoccupied with Granblue Fantasy at the time.
I really like their visual choice, 16bit pixel art style with colorful color and amazing visual effect even for such small character is really lovely
Story is simple but interesting
Sometimes i'm forgetting this in not develop by cygames themselves
It's kinda shame they can't survive much longer because the gameplay kinda stagnate the more they progressing
I hope what they tease is proper game of world flipper on console
Miss u in nikke but your recent videos have the highest quality I could dream of in the gacha community, this end of service are doing more good that we can think because the issue with lost media is not about forgetting something but about not being able to learn and repeat mistakes, thanks for your hard work
Oh!, King of Fighter All Stars is gona End of Service in 99 days, from today, Would be nice to be in the list, meanwhile, i´m waching the vid ❤
Wait, really? Damn
Dang you serious about that one?! I thought it was popular enough I might as well redownload it to check it out again.
@icession4872 oh boy since introducing higher than EX fighters the game started slowly dieing, not to mention like two months before the announcement the was just no content except new Kyo
@@shorterazer6858 dang so the collabs died down huh or mismanaged I suppose which sucks because I was there when the Tekken Collab happened iirc then I stopped at the Wwe collab cause I couldn't play anymore because of storage problems which is I still have the same phone to this day I'm guessing it's gonna be 10gb+ and welp I'll hope he'll make a video on KoF:AS indeed.
@@icession4872 oh we got second tekken colab and it was dogshit, then street fighter 5 colab was good, virtua fighter colab was good, guilty gear colab was goated tho, but street fighter 6 was the last one and it got truly paywall charcter
I’m quite sad World Flipper EOS’d, especially after being a DL fan (still sad it’s gone because it was one of my first online multiplayer experience growing up. I’ll never forget building specific units for team comps in High Dragon Trials / the Agito Uprising / Raid bosses, etc.)
I fell in love with the pixel art chibis and the pinball gameplay had surprising depth for it being literally anime pinball. I ended up quitting a few months after playing just because I kept getting busy at the time.
You know, there are now private servers for Dragalia if you're interested
omg i was sooo into this game and so involved in the community and i havent played it in a hot minute but i was still sad to see it go. im happy to see you make a video on it!!
I’m gonna miss this game
10:51 Finally someone is gonna address how horrible the Sakura Wars roll out was, make sure to mention how DW shutting down affected negatively FGO in the last couple of years 😭
Also nice vid man, I played WF for a few months and had always a soft spot for this game, it's really unfortunate that it was shut down 😔
I'm gonna miss this game. Played for nearly 2 years and stuck with it until eos. Characters were just so fun and interesting, damn shame they might not see the light of day again. Hopefully I am very wrong though. See you all on the flip side!
Honestly, this game helped me cope with the fact that dragila had its eos. And in played through the story fully. And helped me understand many things. I wasn't until I heard that jp had its eos. I didn't feel as devastated as Dragani lost,but I had some regrets while playing. For every five star I got, I screen shot it in remembrance of the game. Now that I know the game is ending today, I feel kinda let down since it was made by cygames. But other than that. I feel as though the game did me justice❤❤❤
I came to world flipper at launch since it was around the time Dragalia Lost announced EOS and absolutely loved it, it essentially was my rebound. I had the same thoughts with Dragalia where the IP that Cygames managed to build has so much potential for a Re-Dive similar to what princess connect did that i hope when the gacha genre calms down they can resurface.
The only mobile game that I fell in-love with. What I hate about live service games is if they die, they die for good. A big part of me really hopes that it becomes a trend where mobile games that are shut down is turned into standalone offline games, Megaman ReDive and Metal Slug Attack Reloaded for example. In that way, I could always revisit these games virtually forever. World Flipper would be a very fun standalone game since it's already satisfying to watch a pinball machine go wild.
I'm calling it here here. World Flipper: Reflipped, coming soon. 😭
It’s still very bitter to me, I absolutely love Vainglory but greed made its downfall inevitable, it’s still playable online but absolutely nothing new, riddled with bugs and long queue and error yet people still play them to this day.
I had a fun time playing World Flipper in the JP server from back in like 2018. At the time, I was juggling World Flipper, Crash Fever, and some other gacha games but World Flipper was the most simple but easy to get into gacha game ever. So many good waifus to collect and stories to listen to while playing this game. Going to miss this game 😥
This was one of the best Gacha Games in Years! It was creative and the story was super good! Im glad they could finish their story! But dont mourn my friends they actually registered a new World Flipper IP recently in JP so we can hope
Can't wait for you to review guardian tales
Same
The video will be titled "End of Service | Guardian Tales"
I played Dragalia Lost from launch to EoS, then moved to World Flippper and have now played that from launch to EoS and now I don't have another similar-looking gacha to jump to, pretty sad. Gonna miss it, but I guess this is my chance to leave behind the gacha life.
Shit. This hit me harder than I expected.
I knew it EoS was announced. I knew it was coming. I forgot it was today.
I’m gonna miss this game. It was such a breath of fresh air in the gacha landscape. It’s one of the very few gacha games I spent money on (I’m almost always f2p). Had a full electric team centered around a 3 star that I adored the design of (the rest of my units were all 5 stars though lol).
Good bye world flipper. I hope another one like you comes along.
I think that every end of service can be handled better but this is one of the better ones. I would like to see one where the developer just makes the game like an archive single player game but of course there is costs associated with that.
Can't wait for the FGO review. I've been playing for close to 5 years and im curious to see what your opinion is even if it's negative.
It should be mentioned how great the writing is in english. The writers were so good and I had proper chuckles and funny moments, especially when the last event they ever had deadass had a character talk about improving their "rizz". Nimbus and Alk's dynamic is especially well done.
Me entering the vid: "Well, this vid sure can't hurt me"
Me 1 min into: "Dragalia ;_;"
Man I was so addicted to this game in college it was actually so good. It’s a shame it shut down I never got to finish the story. Also I know the whole OST isn’t posted online still we really need to fix that somehow.
Wow this series is very interesting, as a fellow gacha player seeing smaller ones I've never heard off getting shut down is very insightful
Wow. This looks really cute and neat. I really would've liked to test it out just for the interesting concept. I feel like it's interesting, but pinball is something that is inherently built around limiting your control as the player. I can see how it felt like team comps and your gear was more important when skill is meant to play a smaller role to a degree.
honestly just wish they would put the story mode avaible for offline play & give us tate mode support. I honestly think this combat system was so much fun and we dont get enough games in this style! o7 WF
started playing it months ago and managed to beat it just in time for the finale, although it ended just as i was reading the finale lul...
im gonna miss it so much, it was such a fun ride all around, i loved all the characters so much..
Nimbus, Alk, Stella I hope we see u again someday 😟 (untill then hurray for fan servers!)
Not only did I enjoy the gameplay, this is one of the ONLY Gacha game (not based on another property) that made me care about the characters and their stories. I even did the character's side stories, not just for the bonus beads I got, but because I genuinely cared about it. I hate how Gacha games try to force players to work together like sending Friend Points, making Guilds/Clans, and Raid Modes where everyone HAS to participate to get rewards. But World Flipper just allowed you to co-op with whoever was available at the time along with the option to do questions solo or invite specific friends. There is just SO MUCH this game did right to create an amazing experience and it just genuinely breaks my heart that it didn't last longer.
grand summoners has the same concept no guild bs and co-op is pretty generous and ennoyable
I LOVED THIS GAME! The voice acting was perfect, the graphics were awesome, and gameplay was superb. It's kinda sad it came to an end. I hope the game is re-released somehow
Speaking of Cygames, to set more context towards another of their games, I would like en episode of End of Service on Dragalia Lost that you mentioned.
Cause that one's shutdown hit even harder compared to World Flipper, especially when there's no currently no sign of a revival coming.
And I know you're gonna say you can't do an episode towards a gacha you can't play anymore, but thankfully, there's private servers available with the majority of the content playable.
The story of this game took me for so many turns through the last few days, and even though I never got to max rank or got every unit... I still enjoyed everything I got to do. All of these characters and the story will always stay with me.
Until we meet again in Starview Village! Thank you for everything, World Flipper!
ALSO CLAW AND ALBERT WERE MARRIED ITS TRUE MISTER FLIPPER TOLD ME
I used to play in JP and was pretty good actually. my favorite part was the raid system mechanic, it usually was pretty quick at finding other players but near the end they added a bot system that could choose a team to fill the gaps (it the bot used a player team that already beat the boss so you don't have to worry about it). Fun fact (?) WF had some furry characters and they were some of the few that focused more on the female furry characters, this is rare because most gachas with furry characters try to hide them by making them lower rarity or focus on the male ones.
I played World Flipper for a little while and I really enjoyed it. Finding out the EoS notice really made me sad even if I didnt play it anymore. I am glad to have been a part of the community, even if it was for a small bit.
See you on the flip side gamers o7
I played this game for most of its existence in global, fantastic game. Super sad that it’s gone :(
Man i was a day 1 player, the end of service notice killed me man the game was so good i always kept it on the side monitor to farm and the TAs were peak (except thunder lmao)
I loved this game, the only gacha I could play just on the go and have fun knowing I can get a bunch of pulls from nowhere and randomly get 5 stars like crazy. I’m sad I never finished the story I loved the art and the character, never would I thought it would die 😢
i remember playing this game, the co-op experience in the first week is awfull, lot's of unsync that sometimes i don't know what is happening. But i have so much fun due to how simple the gameplay is.
World Flipper was great. Hopefully I will hear about a non-live service version. 💙
I just came into a time in my life where I wanted to be more focused, and I kept hitting the end of the story quickly after an update. If I had known the story had ended, I definitely would have come back.
Omg, these pixel arts are so nostalgic of Maplestory items!!! Their graphic design is peak.
This game made me happy like no other! I played it by chance, looking for new games, and stuck with it for a few years. It had so much charm, and I am glad it collected such a fun community~
Great video! I really love hearing you talk about gaccha games! I would love some kind of video about Valkyrie Crusade, I played that game so much for a long period, but then they changed so much that it became a game just for whales and now it is out of service, only the gallery of all the characters remains.
World Flipper had my favorite cast of character designs, it was so varied and colorful. It was also the only gacha I had with more than one playable female furry character instead of the same copypasted buff guy in every other gacha doomed to the lowest rarity.
My favorite design wasn't a furry though. Cirqueharle was an idol, a circus master, a harlequin and a harlequin rabbit (irl rabbit breed that has differently colored fur in both halves of their body) which was reflected on her hair and clothes, she was so damn cool and her second art went so hard.
Rest in peace my wife Mia you will be missed, best tiger girl to ever exist, I had both of your alts and used them even off-meta.
I wish they'd kept the game on life support for longer, because I really loved this game. Same with Dragalia Lost. Two of the best mobile games, gone.
The uniqueness of it being a pinball game, combined with extremely cute and interesting character designs really drew me to it. It wasn’t the usual gacha waifu combat simulator trash, it felt interesting and cool. The loading screens were really annoying, and part of the reason I didn’t get much time to play it was that I’d poke at it for a little bit every few months and have to download a massive update. really wish they had done an offline version.
Thank you World Flipper for giving me hours of fun and being my favorite gacha. I will keep you in my heart ♥️
Wow, this game looks like my kind of game. I am sad that I never heard of it until now. Thanks for making a video about it!
Didn't realize this ended, this was atleast to me the game I would occasionally play when I'm waiting for just screwing around on my phone. Didn't really keep up with it or play it a ton but did quite enjoy it.
I played world flipper for about half a year, it was fun and unique but there was always a content drought.
I played world flipper like 1-2 years ago, it was fun but i stoped playing because the late game requires a lot of grinding, there was this 5* unit i think his name was orochi, and you could get him for free, and he was at least at the time a must have in most teams, but in order to get him you needed to farm a boss in a super high difficult unumerous times, and it was really hard if u din't rerrol or used the coop battle, and that's the reason i stoped playing, it was just to damn grindy
( sorry for bad english, i'm still learning )
"See you at the Flip Side."
I played a lot of World Flipper. It was one of best game I have ever played. Thank you for this video.
Thank you for making to what I consider a tribute. Side note, very excited for Uma Musume
such a charming and unique game. it did always feel rather generous and honestly despite the heart break of missing the rainbow crystal during gacha it was hype as heck
i played jp world flipper religiously and it was honestly one of the more fun gacha games out there. i was so sad to see it go, and even sadder now that the global client is now also gone. hopefully we get something new based from the cryptic tweet the jp twitter account posted.
This genuinely makes me so sad. After monster strike went away, this was even better
I wish it had a download and single player version of this at all times :( sad to see it go
Played this game on global, maybe 2 years ago.
Was honestly pretty good. The flipper mechanics were pushed enough so there was really strategy in fights, and even with a good build, you had to time your stuff.
Gacha was also very correct. I had a good couple of nice 5-stars, and you could pull for one specific element to reduce the rng for getting a good build.
Multiplayer was OK. Similar to games like Naruto Ninja Blazing, it was mostly about coming with my underlevelled team, trying to join a lobby with 2 monster players and hope they don't kick me so I can get more materials for less stamina.
Although imo, the meta was disastrously handled, and that's what killed my experience.
Early on, I had maybe 20-30 wind units, but when I checked meta guides, I had only one option : Souchiro build, and I missed core units.
Despite a fair amount of characters overall, there were very few viable strategies. We're talking about ~2 to 4 meta builds per element. Arguably less in some cases, since if a wind build didn't lead Souchiro, you pretty much knew that it was gonna suck.
A team contains 6 units, and you generally want all 6 specific characters of a meta build to be optimal. Backup options existed, but were very limited as well.
At the end, regardless of the team, you just wanted to get the best damage output, and there were only so many ways to achieve this, especially where some strategies are often only viable for specific elements. This could explain the inexistant player expression.
The worst part was that I had a very decent 5-stars pool as a f2p. For those who know, I had all the good wind ones (missed Veron), and also all the 5-stars required for most thunder teams (missed Summer Bercetia).
Would've been perfect if I actually owned the cheaper units that I missed for literally every single build. Azel, Rams, Adil, etc. Wherever you were, I hate each of you.
At the end, I kinda loved it. The economy was rather generous and monetization was really not agressive, only staying to the basics "buy more stamina or pulls", and a few event popups here and there.
The community was sick. There were very detailed guides, and an active discord to help people know easily what build they can make.
There was also the "World Flipper Collection Tracker", an online tool where you marked all the units and weapons you had, and when you asked stuff on Discord, you could just paste in your tracker collection link and people would immediately see everything you had, resulting in very efficient and pleasant help.
I hope you do a video on Magia Record, cause I think it’s pretty interesting how it lived and died, both by effectively speedrunning the en server and how the anime came both as a boon and a curse. There’s also probably a bunch of other stuff like the animation of the transformations, including event ones, going down with time
Oh man, I was thinking about going back to this game. It has pretty effects that make brain happy. Sad to see it come to an end
I was always interested in trying this game, but never had a device until recently, around when they announced they were ending service.
A Pinball RPG is a pretty unique thing that we really don't see much of, and would of been cool to see it get an offline mode.
kancolle plays a major role in the japanese gacha industry, and you can trace all of them back to the golden days of DMM games
gosh i loved world flipper when it released. the soundtrack had me humming it for months. i left because i wasn't in the mood for the late game grind as i was there for some pinball
Man, I remember I really wanted to play this game when I downloaded it from the Japanese Appstore, but an error prevented me from logging in (this was like 3-4 years ago can't remember) and was disappointed because I was hunting for gacha games to play back then. Kinda feel sad to see this go away for sure as like you say, it was refreshing to see a new take on the gacha formula, at least in the form of a pinball game, which I found neat at that time
This game helped me get distracted during a bad period of my life and was a place that i met a lot of good friends, it's sad to see how it ends but i will always carry these good memories with me.
9:00 That reminds me of Naruto Ultimate Ninja Blazing. They did also have an encyclopedia that was next to the login screen and when the game shutdown, you could still open it and look at all the characters information entries of the chars you got, but you couldn't login anymore or download it from the app store. After all, it would be kinda weird to have a game advertised on the app store, that isn't playable anymore.
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius announced it's global EoS to the end of october (not the jp servers), it's an interesting game to comment about because it's one of the oldest gacha games that was running until now, it had it's problems like the crazy power creep and the neo visions problems but overall the game was nice, definely you should check it out
Yeah I was just about to say that and that sucks
I discovered this game when i entered university, I played it for a bit, found it really fun then forgot about it, I'm now recently graduated and I actually just learned it got terminated by watching this video, i'm a bit sad I didn't spend much time on it while I actually wanted to, but well, it's too late
Anyway, great video
I got so busy with life I didn't even notice and by the time I remembered World Flipper it was just gone....... Honestly it feels unreal that I just wouldn't remember to play it.
I playerd Dragalia lost for like 1 year before shut down....the best gacha i ever played, i play a bunch of gacha, but never in my life i was so chill when plaiyng a game, challenging, with amazing design and music, good controls, very friendly community and VERY GENEROUS (probably this lead to it's end), yiu should analyze this, it's a gem.
If someone wants to play something very similiar, granblue Fantasy Relink (also made by Cygames) made me remind of dragalia a lot, from the farming to the boss style, i know you will love it if you loved Dragalia.
I played world flipper when it dropped, played when it ended, and played it many times in between, and I always had a good time with the game, the unique ideas and themes and gameplay. I'm gonna miss it
I really loved playing this game
Dang my game and first love gacha; Granblue Fantasy not mentioned as Cygames "big" games lol
I'm glad I don't pay for any gacha games. I wouldn't want to pay for games that would be terminated so soon. Such a shame a good game got pulled out. I was addicted to World Flipper at some point.
Ah man, now I'm sad that I didn't get back into it after the end of service was announced. This game wasn't perfect, but I did enjoy its gameplay, and I found it to have a definite charm. If I recall correctly, I stopped playing because I'm usually a bit of a completionist with games, and when you play gacha games like that, they get very grindy. It was the only gacha game of which I experienced any of the build up towards the lauch.
12:20 You could skip the pull animation entirely...but there was also an option in the settings to turn off the "fake out" animation, so every time you got that animation it was a guaranted upgrade to that pull.
When a gacha game has an original combat system it immediately makes me want to try it. That was the case here. I tried it at launch and played for some months, but when it became pure grind with autocombat I thought it was time to leave.
Really enjoyable until I reached that point.
this is probably as close as we're gonna get to a Dragalia lost review
I found this game while searching for another gacha on the Apple Store and the idea alone got me to download it. The core game was pretty fun, but once I started getting good units, the fact you could just autoplay the game to win most challenges made it lose its appeal. I thought the pixel art aesthetic was really cool, though!
