Games like Arknights: Endfield

Steam reviews

What players say

Mostly positive: players praise the factory building, combat, art and optimisation, while account-linking problems and gacha pulls draw the main complaints.

Many players enjoy the combat, where the whole squad fights together, and the factory building that sits alongside it, with blueprints available to ease the setup. Art direction, character designs and the soundtrack are praised often, and many reviewers say the game runs well even on modest laptops and Steam Deck through Proton. Free-to-play players say they can unlock most content without spending, thanks to generous resources and a pity system. The main complaints are the account problems when moving from the standalone launcher to Steam, pull rates and banner economy, and some lengthy tutorials and slow early story. Recent reviews are more mixed on the story and on a few performance and camera issues, though many still recommend the game.

Who it suits

Players who enjoy factory automation combined with action combat and a free-to-play model that rewards patience.

Who should skip it

Players who dislike gacha pulls or repeated tutorials, or who want a short game with a fast story start.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours are more likely to complain about pull economy and the late-game grind, while newcomers focus on the art and factory systems.
