You do have to think about things like your weapon’s element versus the element of your enemy, managing your SP meter, which your weapons are tied to, and if you have to use a weapon that heals you after an attack. Selecting a weapon card has you attack, heal, buff, or debuff depending on the weapon’s abilities.

You get your weapons through the gacha pulls, which are the main priority – not pulling the fairy tale characters. However, the actual battles aren’t as intricate as they could be since what you’re doing is selecting from a rotating hand of “cards” that have your weapons on them. The cool thing is, there’s a co-op system that allows anyone to hop into your battle at any time, and everyone gets the same awards after the win. You’ll also be paired with four other CPU controlled fairy tales of actual players to help you along the way. Encounters have you face waves of enemies in some simple real-time combat by using a variety of weapons at your disposal.

Throughout the game, you’ll learn more about each fairy tale through character monologues, but these aren’t the prettied up Disney versions. However, the catch is that they’ll need to kill each other for this to happen. These characters all wish to have their authors revived – like Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice in Wonderland – for their own personal reasons. Each of these characters resides within the “Library,” which appears to be run by two nightmare-inducing puppets named Parrah and Noya. SINoALICE follows the intertwined stories of some characters from your childhood, such as Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, Alice from Alice in Wonderland, and a few others.

Developed by Pokelabo, along with lead writer Yoko Taro, known for his work on the Drakengard and Nier series, SINoALICE delivers on the dark and intriguing stories of some familiar fairy tales. I then prepared myself for a story-driven gacha game that could potentially do more for me than empty my wallet.

When I first started SINoALICE, I was greeted by two creepy puppets that gave me chills from their illustrations and voice over. Still, I find myself wanting a decent plot with my gacha addiction. A narrative in mobile games isn’t really seen as thought-provoking or even necessary.
