About

Azur Promilia is a fantasy world RPG with creature companionship. Step into a fantasy world, utterly different from the world you know. The world of various civilizations, magic and incredible fantasy creatures, together with tales echoing in the starry sky. Take a daring leap from the sky into the ocean, to once again encounter and bond with new life. Guided by shooting stars, amid the sparkling constellations, this is your very own journey. The entire universe eagerly anticipates the ballad of stars and odyssey, exclusively yours to unfold.

Tales
​

• Characters
  • Terara (Furrian) – The self-proclaimed best hunter in Charlulu Village, this wolf girl wields her spear relentlessly to protect her loved ones. With an unlimited curiosity for the outer world, she often leaps before she looks. A tad audacious, isn’t she?!​
  • Han Youyou (Human) – Meet our lively and confident girl – always on the hunt for hidden treasures. Armed with a unique blend of martial arts and engineering savvy, she breezes through every adventure. There’s no goal too high for her, and if there is, she’s got a bunch of clever tricks and a money bag ready.​
  • Shalle Ensys (High Elf) – As a member of the Averian Pegasus Knights, this elven girl possesses a gentle aura that calms even the wildest of creatures. This bond of trust extends to her Kibo, the Pegasus named Lorilei. While her imposing lance might startle some, it’s her insatiable appetite that truly turns people’s heads around.​
  • Peipei (Pammy) – At JiYi Pavillion in Jinghua Cape, where crowds flock for the most delicious cuisines, Peipei the panda Pammy reigns as the best waitress, mastering the art of kung fu, collecting bills, and irresistible cuteness! Guests thinking of pulling a prank on Peipei should think again—those kitchen chefs aren’t shy about swinging their heavy metal ladles!​
  • Nono (Pammy) – From the Pammy Adventure Duo, it’s all about how hard Nono swings the hammer when it comes to how deep they could explore. Nono’s top priorities? Eat, rest, and anything shiny. Actions speak louder than words for Nono. When it comes to chatting? Better leave that to the partner!​
• Kibo
  • Cabbird – You can tell a cabbird’s mood by the looks of its leaves; however, those leafy adornments aren’t just for show—they’re vital escape tools; but could mere veggies really deter carnivorous predators…​
  • Umi – Umi’s soft body can squeeze into just about any space; and oddly enough, when jars and containers sit empty for a while, you might find a Umi inside somehow eventually… When it comes to fitting into tight spots, they are the true masters.​
  • Lepidelic – They communicate by dancing in circles, often mistaken by outsiders as secret rituals of mystical fairies; such misconceptions arise because they generally harbor strong distrust towards strangers and are fiercely territorial; approaching their nests recklessly might provoke the unique magic they wield.​
  • Snow Wolf – The most devoted guardian of Charlulu Village, in its cub form! It’s the cub every villager wishes to have. This Kibo might even capture villagers’ hearts more than its majestic adult counterpart.​
  • Bloomy – Their looks might fool you into thinking they have two sets of big ears, but it’s just clever fur styling. Plus, that eye pattern on their backs? Pure camouflage. Bloomy has it tough to keep itself alive, being defenseless and all.​
  • Dizzroom – A Mushroom? Or a twisted little creature? It’s not just a hallucination? If you’re allergic to spores, it’s a good idea to wear a mask; of course, a net with a long handle will come in handy, especially when it’s in a deep slumber!​
• Bosses
  • Shadowblaze – A monstrous beast, an amalgamation of diverse biological features that makes it completely unique. Driven by an insatiable desire for “consuming”, it sees even its own kind as potential prey.​
  • Spitehorn – A massive raptor with menacing horned spikes; a flap of its wings brings forth gales and frost. With its piercing cries and ominous look, it’s considered a sinister omen, foreshadowing withering and doom.​
  • Phantomfly – A phantom tale hidden deep in the Mistleaf Forest, drawn by profound yearnings, yet responding only with frivolous mockery. Authentic yet elusive, as if dreaming wide awake, it is truly a fairy butterfly beyond one’s reach.​

Mobile immediately just puts this in the "gatcha trash" bin.

Shame, after relink you would hope some would take a crack at making full games.

Here's some actual gameplay.

these all genshin impact games looks the same.

Azur Lane is the only mobile game I bother with. They give you tons of mats to build shipgirls so you can obtain pretty much everyone and instead make their money off sexy outfits.

Nice to see Manjuu working on something else since Azur Lane is an older game and the gravy train won't last forever but this isn't really up my alley from a gameplay perspective. Will probably still give it a whirl though.

I would say more like if Genshin and Palworld had a baby together.

"Full games" like Kakarot that after years still are getting DLCs and expansions? How is that better than any Mihoyo game?

These gachas are "more full" than whatever thing Bandai or Ubisoft are selling at 70 USD.

This is arguing is bad faith and you know it. There is no way anyone legimitedly asks the difference. It's like asking why a Casino is different from a Cinema.

DLC has its issues, but it at least is a defined product at a defined cost.
