Plot
editIn a futuristic world, a horde of zombie-like machines known as Puppets have overrun Earth and laid waste to countless cities across the world. Faced with the threat of total annihilation, the two remaining forces of Earth, the Frontier and the orbital colony of Autoluna, join to form The Union to strike back against the invaders. The Commander of The Union is responsible for coordinating a team of Artery Gears, cyborgs equipped with the most advanced technology of Earth, to battle against the Puppets.[3]
Development
editThe Japanese release was announced in 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 in June 2022.[7]
Reception
editPocket 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]
