Dinsun Review
Let's address the elephant in the room: anime action RPGs on mobile usually scream microtransaction nightmare. When I started playing ALLfiring, my guard was completely up for energy bars, gacha banners, and automated combat loops. Surprisingly, the actual side-scrolling combat mechanics have real weight to them. Swapping between a three-character team on the fly, stringing together combos, and exploring voxel-style sandbox maps feels much more active and immersive than the usual idle-clicker garbage clogging up the App Store.
That doesn't mean it gets a free pass. The gacha economy for pulling high-tier characters is notoriously brutal, and the narrative leans heavily on recycled fantasy tropes about carrying the last flame of hope. If you enjoy active side-scrolling combat and don't mind navigating gacha mechanics, there's a good game underneath. Dinsun’s verdict: worth a look for action RPG fans, provided you have the self-control to ignore the storefront.
