Rune Story, apparently one of the biggest mobile games in Japan behind PAD. Over there it's known as White Cat Project(wtf mate^^?). It's an action RPG game kind of sorta like Diablo.

JP WIKI

GOON SQUAD NAME LIST, please add yourself if you are in the main guild only.



It's in a pretty good state for the global launch. Obviously far behind the state of the Japanese game currently, but there's still a lot to do. In this game the premium currency is only for rolling the gatcha for more units/ weapons. Not refilling stamina/ energy like most games. With this game, you can play constantly. What happens is, every half an hour you get a rest point up to a maximum of 10. Each dungeon done with a rest point yields bonus loot drops. So someone that plays far more will get rewards, but the rest system helps people who don't play a lot still be competitive. Also, you can play co-op in dungeons with up to 4 people. Another great thing about this game is the first pull is always a 4*. You can raise a character to 5*, but from what I understand on other forums, is that highest you can pull from the Gatcha is a 4* currently. Also, the game is pretty generous about giving out the premium currency. Within a day or two you should be able to do a 10+1 pull, which helps you get rolling. This game also has town building elements, but no base attacking. I'm not sure if they expand this in later updates or not.

If you start try to reset and pull for either Hao, Mira, or Amalia. The consensus is that those are the best starters with the limited characters we have access to at this time.

Also, I've got a guild up and running, search for Goon Squad. I have to accept invites, so post here if you apply. Guilds get all kinds of rewards for active players so make sure to join up asap.

I'll update this with any more information as the global launch gets a wiki and other resources.

When do you get access to guilds? I completed the starter tutorial and got Sky Island, but I don't see anything for guilds yet. In as DemonMage shockingly.

At the top of the screen it's the icon with a shield and two crossed swords.

Yeah, it's just greyed out still. So it's gated by level/story access to some degree beyond the basic tutorial. I'll try and pay attention to when it turns on so we can put that in the OP when I have time to play a little more.

It's not much farther behind the tutorial, I know I got access to it pretty early.

I think I had to finish the first quest on the second island to unlock guilds, and you are forced to join a guild. I didn't see Goon Squad until I had joined a guild. :v:

Yeah same. I had to create a guild before I could see it. Refused to even let me close the dialog. And yeah it was after clearing the first set of areas.

And it won't let me leave my guild cause it's the last day of Conquest or whatever.

How do you reset? My phone appears to have me tied to my googleplay account, without me clicking signing in, so I can't seem to do a quick reset to start over on my pulls :/

Also after the quick tutorial there is one section you have to complete 3 quest to finish a area and then guilds become unlocked

wow a free 4* thats generous, tried playing the JP version but the reroll is ridiculous for a 4-5* character.

Clear your data, then when it loads up again don't choose anything for Google play. Then get your refill you want and then go to options and tie it to your Google play account then.

The general consensus is that Hap and Mira are the best starters. Although I saw a stream last night with Ushi, who used to be a huge brave frontier player and he started with the corn on the Cobb guy. He's also really far in the game.

Google Play says it's not compatible with my Nexus 7 2013, my Galaxy Nexus phone or my wife's Asus MeMo Pad 7.

Interestingly, it is compatible with my Dragon Touch tablet that's a doorstop specs-wise compared to those three.

EDIT: Sideloaded okay. I got to the Join a Guild screen and it wouldn't show Goon Squad no matter what Advanced settings I tried. Afterwards it showed it, but I got the "last day of Conquest" message so for today I'm stuck in NLNiggers. :allears:

Tomorrow I'll apply as delfinSA.

I couldn't find the guild, so I joined up with a random one for now. Also managed to pull a second 4*, a healer whose name I forget offhand. Got two 3* hammers, so I'm just trying to get my mechanic chick fit into the team with Hao and the healer.

Exactly same except OxmanSA. I lucked out with my first pull being the healer chick recommended in op, but now I'm not sure if i should do the 150 weapon pop first or save it for the 250 character pop. I got a 3 star bunny whisperer a 2 star hammer cat and the starting guy.

My thought process is 2 pulls of 10+1 heroes, then all into weapons.

As usual for early gacha games, I'm just throwing into whatever catches my fancy as soon as I get the currency. Makes the early game a bit easier and gives me more options to work with.

So am I supposed to be playing with the basic dude that you start with or should I just be swapping to the 4* hao that I pulled and play the level with her?

Zotix
Aug 14, 2011



Use Hao. Go into team settings, and make a new team and put Hao as the leader. I wouldn't load the team up as some missions want only 1 team member to get that goal completed.

You can just swipe to pull characters in and out of your team.

Knowing that, I still have no idea how to look at a character's stats and such without adding them. Most games would have a long-press for that.

Long press on the character in the party. Like their whole avatar not the portrait. It will show stats and skills.

Oh, figured it out. You tap them to bring up the Equip/Soul Board tab thing and then tap the portrait there.

See above posts. It doesn't seem to want to show up at that first opportunity.

I am loving my 4* archer's charge ability: click on her and hold for three beats, release to shoot a triple shot with good crit chances and ridiculous range.

I am not loving the camera -- I have it set to stay behind me / face the enemy as much as possible but it's still tough to see stuff at times.

What delfin said. I joined some random guild and left it immediately, and Goon Squad showed up in the subsequent search. Applied as allsizesSA.

I'm sure Hao gets pretty good, but I feel like I'm doing better with Suzune (4* mage) and Olga (3* fighter) at the moment. Maybe fencers are just more middle of the road?
