Players can attack the monsters by matching the blocks with the same colors. When certain blocks are eliminated, powerful bombs with different skills appear and bring strong attacks. The game is only available in Japan (and some parts of North America) and the region lock is very strict.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/wp-corp.qoo-app.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/19120212553031.jpg?w=1000\" width=\"1000\" height=\"593\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/wp-corp.qoo-app.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/19120212553382.jpg?w=1000\" width=\"1000\" height=\"800\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>The game story centers around the world\u00a0of \u201cMakina\u201d (\u30de\u30ad\u30ca), where magic and ancient civilization co-exist. Renowned voice actors\/actresses also feature in the game including\u00a0Kaito Ishikawa(\u77f3\u5ddd\u754c\u4eba), Tetsuya Kakihara (\u67ff\u539f\u5fb9\u4e5f), and Ayane Sakura (\u4f50\u5009\u7dbe\u97f3).<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #33cccc;\"><strong>\u258d<\/strong><\/span>Player&#8217;s Reviews<\/h4>\n<p>The app&#8217;s rating on QooApp is 1.7\/5 currently (3rd December), which is relatively low. In general, players really appreciate the art and illustrations, in particular the character design and animation.\u00a0The gameplay experiences seem slightly above average but can be better (e.g. the game requires grinding but it&#8217;s still fun). One big concern of the game is that the region lock is very strict, many players outside Japan and North America reported that they couldn&#8217;t play the game at all even with express VPNs.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #33cccc;\"><strong>\u258d<\/strong><\/span>PV<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Oad6mWZHp1w?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"pre-register\"><a class=\"in-post-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/mobile.nexon.co.jp\/arkresona\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Official Site<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"pre-register\"><a class=\"in-post-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ArkResona_nxj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Official Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Didn&#8217;t expect that, the characters and stories looked promising.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":46319,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[3,19],"tags":[6497,652,6495,4219,17,4511,4512,426,6773],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/d27fq2mgp64qlg.cloudfront.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/12\/19120304124029.jpg?fit=729%2C410&ssl=1","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pe8G4K-c2W","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/d27fq2mgp64qlg.cloudfront.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46310"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/d27fq2mgp64qlg.cloudfront.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/d27fq2mgp64qlg.cloudfront.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d27fq2mgp64qlg.cloudfront.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d27fq2mgp64qlg.cloudfront.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46310"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/d27fq2mgp64qlg.cloudfront.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46310\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d27fq2mgp64qlg.cloudfront.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/d27fq2mgp64qlg.cloudfront.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d27fq2mgp64qlg.cloudfront.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d27fq2mgp64qlg.cloudfront.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
