■ Player Feedback Highlights

・The 3D character models are high quality, and are very expressive and fun to look at. I got really attached to the characters.

・Unlike in the anime of “TRIBE NINE,” “XG” is the main element of the game, so it’ll be interesting to see what scenarios unfold in the future.

・It’s a beautifully-styled action game at its base, complemented by high-tension battles where one small miss can be truly painful.

・I was concerned about the overall pacing of the game and the heaviness of the action, so I’d like to see if that could be improved upon.

・I would like to see something done about the fact that when you form a party, you are too tied to the attributes, making it difficult to organize the characters freely in the way you want.

The team values every piece of feedback received from the testers during the "Deadly Playtest" and are committed to delivering an even more exciting game for the official release. Stay tuned for more updates to come!
