The Atrocious Gacha Review | Brown Dust 2

Here's a game that's unsually polished and somehow raunchier than NIKKE. Brown Dust 2 takes the spot in the fifth volume of the Atrocious Gacha Review. This one was suggested by some of you, and after seeing the fan-service and simply style of the story, I decided to give it shot. Join me today as we take a look at what might have happened if the 12+ age rating on Nikke didn't exist.

absolute cinema 👐

I initially subbed to this channel for Nikke content, but I gotta say I'm really enjoying these videos exploring the wider world of Gacha games

[CaptainMeleon]

pseychie i love your content but your thumbnails jumpscare me every single time they show up on my recommended

[liteyearsx]

It's funny you said that about Snowbreak, because they just bumped up their age rating today. BD2 was also 12+ when it first started, and only pushed to 17+ a few months ago.

[nothisispatrick]

y'know, I've been playing brown dust since the 1st one released and deep down I am still pretty confused on why they made the slime resource have thicc girls carrying them

[GYSI]

Actually a smol misconceptions you have is that the current banners are collab characters which makes them limited, majority of the units do get added in general pool and they also get added in shop after their banners ends for a limited time ( they rotate every 2 weeks), only few characters costumes are limited units which are bunny girls celia/eclipse and i think summer justia/schera ( for this two ain't sure because i didn't play at that time)

[zeroyuki]

Never heard this game before. I actually really love the battle system that this game (seems to) use, presentation seems lovely, and 'simple but personal' seems lovely. QoL seems to be good and it's quite generous and none of the negatives are deal breaker to me so I'll try this this week once I have a little bit more time. Hoping for a few months of fun

I never would've discovered this game without this video and pretty much everything in the review clicked so I guess I'm adding another gacha to my roster today

[HonkaiHistory]

As a 5 year veteran, I'm really looking forward to the Honkai Impact 3rd video! If you have any questions about long term design or how the game gacha systems and game modes changed over time, feel free to drop me a comment or mail~

Glad to see someone spread the great word of brown dust 2. I have been a day one player and with that being said you got 2 rather important things wrong.

1. There is NOT a lot of limited banners. There has been a total of 12 Limited Banners (including the 4 from Mushoku Tensei going on right now) since the launch of the game. All other non limited are added to the standard banner. They also give at least one of the limited characters free during the event.

2. The powder of hope system CAN be used to acquire the Rate Up banner character but only AFTER said Rate Up banner has ended. It can only be one copy as well but better than nothing.


Bonus: The free pulls you get for pulling the rate up banner character can also be acquired when said characters have their first rate up or rerun. So let's say you have +5 Justia and she has a rerun or a rate up, you can immediately pick up those free 40 pulls.


I really do enjoy this series physchie.

Wiggle is my favourite character. Nothing can change my mind.

[madfox]

It's honestly one of my favourite games, its generosity has kept me free to play from it's half anniversary when I started until now, I never felt the *need* to buy anything since stuff felt like it was getting handed to me so I could have fun, I've been spooked plenty of times by the free draws and the tickets and diamonds were more than enough for what I needed, plus the discord community is quite helpful in regards to what characters to get and how to beat levels if you're stuck. Yes, the eye candy is what drew me here, but the generosity of the game combined with the, as you said, character development and story, is what kept me here and will keep me here for the foreseeable future

For your criticism about the gearing upgrade system here, after comparing it to Epic 7 and Honkai Star Rail, i massively prefer this one over others?


Why? You can actually reroll the substats you ACTUALLY want in this game over the absolute trash show of an gearing system in Epic 7 and the horrendous RNGness in Honkai Star Rail, and the rerolls come at a fair price.

So yes, BD 2 gearing system is GREAT!

[SweetYeya]

day 1 player here, quit few days ago:
if u care about meta, fighting in PVP, clearing hard game content etc, this game is NOT for you, it may look generous and f2p friendly at first, but after playing for almost a year it turns out to be the opposite, although yes on average you can get a copy of every unit in the game, but the game requires a LOT of copies of the same unit to make them strong, so if u want to compete in PVP (diamond+) or clear hard game content (hard story event +10 etc) it is quiet literally impossible to do so being free to play.

[Vayes]

the gacha system is way more generous than nikke. You can get dupes later without having to pull on a banner more than once using the golden thread shop (for non limited units). Also the powder of hope allows you to buy another copy when the banner ends because it will appear in the powder of hope shop right after.

Glad u sticking with the game. BD2 reward their player by when they play the game for a long time because the more costume u own when they rerun u will get more ticket because the pick up event also rerun with the charater. Also whenever event comes they give out a lots of ticket as well so I think the gacha should be above expectation even if it can't be compare with nikke. Gear gacha is usually for whale because they doesn't have a pick up event and u can craft gear anyway (even if its a hassle and take a long time to max out)

[skyMcWeeds]

ah yes Brown Dust 2 (17+ game) bring on the fanservice 😂😂😂

[ieatwalnut]

as someone who played the game since launch. i can say that the resource for crafting gear is not a problem after a few weeks .

[charms]

I just started playing this game last week and already I'm in too deep to pull out now. First Nikke now this, Korean gachas just know what I want.

[kniceperson]

I think the top posts of all time on the Brown Dust 2 subreddit tell you what kind of game this is.
