    Punishing: Gray Raven is a heck of a ride with its adrenaline-pumping combat and ultra-smooth graphics performance. You don’t need to scale a paywall to excel at this game, so it’s a must-download for any RPG fan. Plus, the units you pull actually have a healthy dose of husbandos for a change (yay!).

    Punishing: Gray Raven is a remarkable mobile action RPG, very nice to see and packed with an immediate and solid combat system. The campaign is very long and there are many characters to unlock, but the missions are way too short.

    Punishing Gray Raven joins the pantheon of high-quality gacha greats where only so few reside. Following a rocky launch, this game offers intense action gameplay, deep customization, great characters, and highly detailed designs wrapped in a decent free-to-play model. Even though the game doesn’t break ground in the genre, every feature creates a great mobile experience. I feel communication on future events is key to the survival of this western version, but everything I’ve played so far has me hooked.

    While live service and gacha games tend to suffer from uncertain futures given their dependency on player interest, at launch it appears Kuro Game has provided Punishing: Gray Raven with the best chance possible to stick on a platform that's suddenly flush with captivating experiences demanding players' time.

    Awful Gacha filled mobile game. Nier shouldn't be collabing with such an excuse of a terrible game. Trash.

    This game is the best one you can find on the play store or app store. It has good lore, good game core, and an amazing combat system. Also isThis game is the best one you can find on the play store or app store. It has good lore, good game core, and an amazing combat system. Also is the best gacha game you can play if you are free 2 play, maybe it doesn't have too much content right now as other gacha games, but the good quality of the content is worth it the lack of it. Other games have RNG item research or have hard piths to unlocks characters, but PGR doesn't and it make a big change Full Review »
