Can You Enjoy The First Descendant for Free? No Microtransactions

Can you enjoy The First Descendant for free? This is my experience as a free to play (f2p) player. My first 100 hours in The First Descendant. How many descendants can you unlock for free and can you do hard mode / end game?

this game did the one of the things that kept me from grinding warframe seriously. IT TELLS YOU WHERE TO GRIND WHAT YOU FREAKING NEED. Seriously.

Remnant 2 introduced me to the channel. Glad to see more games I'm playing!
Edit: Ajax main here. Wish me luck farming the Shiny Ajax.

I got on the Energy Activators. It started as just 1 or 2. -What could go wrong, I thought? Everybody needs a boost - yeah, that’s it. -> Games would never hurt me….now, I’m in so deep that I owe $10, 000 to a loan shark named Fat Tony.

Just started research of all Ultimate Bunny components at like 120-130 hrs of F2P 👍

[VNALDINI]

I’m a F2P player and I managed to get ultimate Bunny today I been grinding for here since Sunday last week

[stinyg]

Unlike Warframe i don't need to keep a wiki open and alt tab frequently to see where i should grind for items. It straight up tells you where to go and what to do.

[icymoe]

The grind IS but im a grinder so im enjoying it

[jrod]

Love the gameplay, grind is actually enjoyable. Don't see that changing anytime time soon.

[gorionzorander]

i do not care what people say i absolutely love the game i purchased Ultimate Bunny and she is rocking !

[cbear]

The grind for activators and catalyst probably will kill it for me. Im F2P and will stay that way

[ProfessorWeebology]

Im about 80 hours in, the only thing ive bought is the battlepass and ultimate gley because i wanted to support the devs after such a great hotfix and communication. I have beaten all hardmode bosses except molten and frost walker. I have valby, bunny, viessa, gley, sharon, enzo, lepic, and ultimate bunny. Ive managed to get 2 reactors and 10 catalysts from farming. Ive been pretty efficient on my grinding and waited to do most of it til hard mode because drop rates are way higher. I have gotten very lucky in some regards (ultimate bunny and the 2 reactors i got while farming perforator which i still dont have. Ive only crafted like 5 legendary weapons (2 come from story) ive also gotten something like 20 transcendent mods from drops and a majority of the other mods.

got done grinding for ulti viessa like 10 hours ago, took like 4 days of 11-12 hours per day (not all of these hours were done playing) i got insanely lucky with two of the drops, getting it as first drop of the day and another one right after, so could have easily been much much longer, i do not recommend grinding non stop going for it

[Germanbattle]

I have the same opinion as you about the grind. I set out to grind 1 thing, I come across an outpost where I see people, so I stay there and farm that cause there's always smtg useful. Then I continue and some1 is doing a void reactor boss, so I join that too because ofc I got amorphs cause I always join the outpost fights. The grinds seem tedious but they are so various and spread out they just blend into the gameplay. The things we seek to unlock dont gatekeep eachother so we can just collect and unlock whatever we get matts for whenever we do. EDIT: HOLY CRAP you got 3 activator blueprints?!

[donwilcox]

Thanks for the video...I haven't bought anything and have 4 characters, plus working on another.
The only reason to buy anything is if you can't handle a game that needs to be grinded or the kind of person who needs to have the best of everything before anyone else.

An advice from a vet Warframe player don’t do crystallization on base descendants only Ultimate versions, as Valby for example getting her Ultimate beginning of August where you will get her and won’t play the base no more so it will be a lost Investment, learned it the hard way believe me lol

[Deadlock]

For people who are reading, i was able to get ultimate bunny after a week or two from starting the game, as well as 4 other characters, which is pretty good imo

[killigin]

I played for 14 hours and enjoyed the game so I gave them $20 and picked up Enzo to support my friends. More than a little annoyed at the price break points but dont regret buying Enzo. As it stands I have 5 descendants at 50ish hours. Just broke into hard mode.

Not some, ALL prices are outrageous. The foundation for a good monetization system is there, it's just that the prices are so high above the clouds compared to WF, which their shop is based off of to an extent, being cheaper. Doesn't help that the drop rates are meant to frustrate and push people to the shop.

It's fine to like the game. I do. But we need to better call out Nexon for their prices and get them to make the prices more reasonable, and do something about the drop rates.

You can play this game free2play. But you can't have cosmetics like the skins. And in terms of the catalysts and forma, you can also farm them without paying, but prepare to jump an ungodly amount of hoops just to build one, IF your RNG is lucky enough. But as mentioned, Nexon makes the grind too much for most people, that it's to get people into the shop, where those catalysts/reactors and forma TFD equivalents are over $20.

"Perfect Mediocrity" is how I'd describe this game. As someone who loves grinding games, this one in particular has elements I like, but can effectively waste your time with no progression whatsoever, which can be frustrating to the point people quit.

the activators are basically reactors from warframe and the catalysts are forma from warframe as well and those are like a couple dollars irl money but they have a trading system for it so its not that hard to get so seeing 20$ and 6$ for something like that is ridiculous
