June 2025
As a big fan of the mobile game (been playing since 2019), I had relatively high hopes for Azur Lane Crosswave at release, and through playing it here and there over the years, I've come to find the game to be not as bad as many say, but also not amazing. Strictly a game I'd recommend for those who've at least tried the mobile game or even the anime first, or if you just really like VNs. The main issue is how the game was marketed. The screenshots and description give the impression that the majority of Crosswave is some kind of action-oriented wartime shooter with the adorable shipgirls, but much of the game is VN. While not that surprising given it's an Idea Factory game, if you come into the game not ready to read a lot of text, you'll be disappointed. The action that is there can be fun in bursts, and there are quite a lot of missions and stories to unlock, but they mostly play the same with little changes in scenery or battle conditions, and getting stronger equipment is just a matter of replaying those battles over and over, so repetition quickly sets in. Doing everything in the game also takes much grinding, a lot more than the mobile game in numerous regards. Where Crosswave excels is in presentation. While the fidelity of the environments isn't much to write home amount, the models for the playable shipgirls are cute and colorful, well animated, and the talent of the same VAs who voice the girls in the original game, lends a greater expression of personality here. Of course, the devs couldn't have a huge playable roster here; Azur Lane has hundreds of shipgirls! It's a decent selection of the four original factions, with a few taken from a couple of the smaller ones (besides, having too many playable characters would've made this game even more grindy than it already is). The story is nothing special but it's enjoyable and easy to follow, though you might be a little lost if you're a complete newcomer and don't read character bios in-game. I also had much fun using the photo mode. Overall, this game is quite a mixed bag, and while there is a lot of content here and honest effort put into the game, if you don't enjoy VNs nor grinding, you probably won't enjoy it as I have. If you are curious about it, grab it on sale as I did, because this game could have been a lot more, but on its own it's a decent VN with some shooting action added in.

The story is fun, the gameplay is simple but does not get THAT old because the game is not too long for it to get old. The DLC stories are fun as well, But beware! Getting 100% is a grind, even if it doesen't seem like it.

+ Shipgirls + Familiar faces (Starter squad, Prinz, Enty, etc) + Story is not just a re-hash of the gacha plot + No actual gacha mechanics, you just have to grind stages to unlock your favorites +/- Keyboard control defaults are a little wonky, but are freely customizable from the menus. -? Gameplay is a little repetitive, but if you are a long-time fan of Azur Lane, you're probably used to that and/or don't care -? Obtaining equipment blueprints is, predictably, somewhat grindy sometimes - some characters are Support-only, meaning they do not appear on the battle stages except as skill activation cut-ins TL;DR : if you like Azur Lane, you will probably enjoy this. Otherwise, you will possibly be disappointed.

I don't really have too many complaints about crosswave, I just think there's a lot of wasted potential. They could've done some really cool stuff but decided a visual novel was the best way to make it more self-contained. Call me back when we're fighting against siren kaijus with the monsters that accompany ironblood characters. Literally some of the coolest design ideas i've ever seen and nobody wants to do anything with them. Yostar is sitting on an IP that could have killed hoyo and nexon if they knew what they were doing.

A fan-based visual novel type, not really a RPG game. Very interesting narratives and good graphics. Buy for collection when in discount.
