Gameplay
Players lead a squad of four mecha girls known as Artery Gears to fight against enemy "Puppets". Artery Gears are classified into three elements and five different classes. Combat is turn-based and can be either fully automated or controlled manually by the player. Artery Gears can be strengthened by leveling up and upgrading them, and further strengthened by equipping and leveling gears. Additional Artery Gears can be obtained by advancing the story, in-game events and through a gacha system.
Plot
In a futuristic world, a mysterious force known as Puppets are besieging Earth and have laid waste to countless cities across the world. Faced with total annihilation, the two remaining forces of Earth, Frontier and Autoluna, join together to form The Union to strike back against the invaders. The Commander of The Union is responsible for coordinating a team of Artery Gears to battle against the Puppets.[3]
Development
The Japanese release was announced on August 2021,[4] with closed beta and pre-registrations beginning later that month. The Japanese version reached 500,000 pre-registrations ahead of release. Closed beta and pre-registrations for the global release began in May 2022,[5][6] and launched globally on June 2022.[7]
Reception
Pocket Gamer highlighted the Quality-of-Life features and generous gacha system, but notes that there were translation issues.[8] BunnyGaming.com echoes the translation issues and criticized the poor gacha pity system, but praises the game's visuals and auto-play features.[9] Hardcore iOS remarks that "resource grinding and farming is one of the spots where improvements can be made," but otherwise considers Artery Gear: Fusion as "a decent timesink."[10]
