Plot

[edit]

In a futuristic world, a horde of zombie-like machines known as Puppets have overrun Earth and laid waste to countless cities across the world. Faced with the threat of total annihilation, the two remaining forces of Earth, the Frontier and the orbital colony of Autoluna, join to form The Union to strike back against the invaders. The Commander of The Union is responsible for coordinating a team of Artery Gears, cyborgs equipped with the most advanced technology of Earth, to battle against the Puppets.[3]

Release

[edit]

The Japanese release was announced in August 2021,[4] with closed beta and pre-registrations beginning later that month. The Japanese version reached 500,000 pre-registrations ahead of release. Closed beta and pre-registrations for the global release began in May 2022,[5][6] and launched globally in June 2022.[7]

The first season of the Chinese version ended in August 2021, the Japanese version ended in January 2022, and the global version in September 2022, with ten episodes.[8][9] The second season began releasing in November 2021 for the Chinese version, April 2022 for the Japanese version, and the global version in October 2022.[10][11] The second season ran for four episodes until December 2022 for the Chinese version, and May 2023 for both Japanese and global versions.[12][13] The third season began releasing March 2023 in the Chinese version, and June 2023 for the other versions.[14] In March 2024, Access announced that the Korean server would no longer receive content updates after the April 11 event.[15] In July 2024, Access announced that the remaining servers would receive their final updates, on July 16 for the Chinese server, and July 18 for the remaining servers, including the fourth and final closing chapter of the third season.[16] The game was delisted from the App Store and Google Play on August 13, and ended worldwide service on November 12, 2024.[17][18]

Reception

[edit]

Pocket Gamer highlighted the Quality-of-Life features and generous gacha system, but notes that there were translation issues.[19] BunnyGaming.com echoes the translation issues and criticized the poor gacha pity system, but praises the game's visuals and auto-play features.[20] Hardcore iOS remarks that "resource grinding and farming is one of the spots where improvements can be made," but otherwise considers Artery Gear: Fusion as "a decent timesink."[21]
