Dinsun Review
Infinite Dreams knows how to make things look good, I’ll give them that. The gothic aesthetic is fantastic—dark, moody, and consistent. The shooting mechanics are actually quite precise; there's a real sense of weight to the bow that you don't always get in mobile shooters. It feels like a 'real' game for the first twenty minutes.
But the wall hits fast. It's built on that classic 'three stars or bust' progression system that feels so corporate. You reach a point where your damage isn't enough, and you have to go back and grind previous levels just to afford the next upgrade. It’s a loop designed to make you look at the 'Buy Gold' button. As someone who’s seen the best of arcade history, this is a hollow imitation. It’s fun in short bursts, but the lack of true depth or a narrative end makes it feel like work after a while. It’s better than the average junk on the store, but that’s a low bar.
