What is Heaven Burns Red

Should I play Heaven Burns Red?

Heaven Burns Red is a niche visual novel gacha mobile game written by Jun Maeda, the writer of Angel Beats. If you know anything about Jun Maeda and Key you know to expect a light hearted day to day story with tear jerking moment weaved in between. From my experience, the story telling, the characters, and the music tied to keep playing the game when I first just decided to download the game because of some stupid youtube ad I saw. To this day, I don't regret being bored and trying out the game. Though some of the jokes and banter feel repetitive, Key has created a world that feels alive with a unique cast of characters. As someone who has read many mobile game stories, I personally like HBR the most and recommend anyone to join the experience. Take your time with the story and let the music and cast immerse you in the world filled with cancer.

Is Heaven Burns Red pay to win?

HBR is a solo game experience, but like most gacha games, it is pay to win. Is it incredibly pay to win? Without PvP, I personally believe it isn't extremely pay to win. The story can be beaten without spending a single dime. The EN server is also getting the version of the game that has nerfed story battles and the increased character levels QoLs. There should no trouble advancing through the story. The pay to win aspect will start to show when aiming to clear rotationing content (Score Attack) or certain farming content (Dungeon). Those who have every style or high limit breaks will have an easier time gathering more rewards from each content than those who are free to play and unlucky. For those who are not spending or only paying for the monthly pass, it is highly recommended to hoard your pulling resources. Styles that are recommended to pull on this project are aimed to help you choose which styles you would need in your box in order to have the tools to clear the maximum rewards in end game content. Without the recommended styles it may be a lot more difficult or impossible to claim the maximum rewards.

Even without spending any currency to pull, many free pull events are scattered around each couple of months. On average, one can expect to get 1-3 SS every 3-4 months without even pulling due to the amount of free pulls and random Guaranteed SS tickets that are provided.
