Games to fill the void
So I think it might be interesting to see what other games people are playing, particularly those that have played IC since it set the bar so high. Post your recommendations!

I'm still in the post breakup phase where nothing even looks good. I'm playing Tactics ogre to fill the void for now.

Consider Triangle Strategy once you're done with that. It's great.

Nothing. Every game i try is so f2p unfriendly i just don't wanna play after a day. Like even small spenders get the short end of the stick if you compare battle passes, ICs was 9 bucks and most other games are like 25+ and you even get less than ICs one. IC forever ruined other gacha for me and i am kinda thankful for that. I am free (till IC2).

Arknights s a pretty solid pick up imo

I tried Eversoul. Game launched on global a couple days ago. It’s also the first game I know other than IC to have a 3-multi pity. Graphics and music are decent. Unfortunately it’s an idle game so I lost interest pretty quick. If you like idle games it’s worth a look.

The pity system of Eversoul is very good (if you go for the Normal draws) you can easily get most of the chars in the roster in a couple of days. Maximizing them is another game however…

Azur Lane, completely different concept but one of the most f2p friendly games out there, the artwork is amazing and if you like min-maxing you’ll love it.

Punishing gray raven: 10 pulls for A rank characters, Guarantee at 60 pulls for rate-up S-rank character. Weapons: 10 pulls for 5 star weapon and total 30 for 6 stars weapons. Daily task reward: 30BC
Cookie Run Kingdom: Tons of rewards everyday, free daily 30 crystals package, Gacha rate so-so (guarantee is at 100)
Soul tide: Stages with small open world, Daily reward: 120 crystals, rate-up character guarantee at 50 pulls.
Neural Cloud: Chess like game, daily rewards: 60 Quartz, 3 star character guaranteed at 60 pulls

the rate up character is not guaranteed at 60 pulls, you guarantee a 3* at every 60 pulls, the rateup is 180 pulls (Neural cloud)

I would recommend Counterside. It’s a game that for the most part, is f2p friendly in quite a few ways. I’ve been playing for a little over three weeks and already have maxed out units thanks to in game rewards. Plus, they are doing a server merger, and if you create an account now and register for pre-merger, you’ll get a coupon that’ll give you a free top tier unit (unit tiers for this game is N, R, SR, SSR, and ASSR, so you’ll get a free pick of all globally released ASSR units).

Arknights is a delight

Soul tide if you want that bonding experience

Arknights, Path to Nowhere, PGR, HI3rd, Genshin Impact

Grimlight is a solid pick for me

Path to Nowhere has cool story, also liked counterside story but hated the gear grind

NIKKE, Idle Huntress, and QueenBlade.
I put a little investment in at the beginning to become competitive but now all 3 are generating decent in game currency and I got decent enough teams to do all the content with no additional spending. I had a similar ramp up time with IC.
NIKKE is probably the most expensive buy-in with the best story. The others have no story but tons of content and collectible “heroes”. I’d say the order I listed was from best to worst. Will probably drop QueensBlade soon.

I'd recommend Path to Nowhere and Guardian Tales as two worth trying to go in different directions (so if you don't like one, you might like the other). They each have elements that remind me of IC (and the elements that remind me of IC in PtN are not the elements that remind of of IC in GT).

I'm playing Alchemy Stars and GFL Neural Cloud. Both side games and both F2P friendly.
