Punishing: Gray Raven (Chinese: 戰雙帕彌什) is a mobile action role-playing game developed and published by Kuro Game. It was first released in China on December 5, 2019. A global release is slated for Summer 2021.[1]
Gameplay
Punishing: Gray Raven has players control a squad of up to three characters, known as "Constructs", against various enemies. Storytelling is presented in a visual novel format, while combat is hack and slash action-based, with the player fighting enemies in real-time in various stages. During combat, different colored "Pings" can be obtained, which will fire off different skills. Chaining 3 Pings with the same color will execute a powerful version of that skill. Players may also evade enemy attacks, which will trigger a bullet time effect upon successful evasion, allowing the player to land additional hits to the enemy.[2] Evading attacks will consume stamina, which prevents players from freely dodging all the time.
Constructs can be strengthened by leveling up and promoting them, as well as leveling weapons and equipping gears. Players can unlock additional Constructs by advancing the story, and more Constructs can be obtained via a gacha mechanic and in-game events. In-game currencies can be obtained through in-app purchases and playing the game, which are used to obtain Constructs and equipment through the gacha system. A pity system ensures that the player will receive rare items after a set number of pulls.
The game also features a housing system in the form of Dormitories. Players may decorate and move in Constructs to their dorms to improve their mood. Constructs can also be assigned chores to obtain in-game materials.[3]
Plot
The story of game takes place in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by Corrupted cybernetic enemies caused by the Punishing Virus. The last remnants of mankind have escaped to the space station Babylonia. The player takes on the role as the Commandant of an elite squad of Constructs known as Gray Raven. The player will lead the squad to fight against the Corrupted and other opposing forces to retake the planet.

Reception
Kuro Game was criticized over their poor handling of Punishing: Gray Raven during its initial launch, notably regarding false gacha rate advertisement, and "over-rewarding" new players then taking back the rewards.[4] Since then, the developers have been praised for their improved management of the game, regularly addressing player concerns such as game balance and improving their gacha system.[5] The game has been compared with Honkai Impact 3rd for their similarities in gameplay.
As of July 2020, the game has surpassed 20 million downloads.[6]
