On August 13th, <The Seven Deadly Sins: IDLE Adventure> was launched in 174 countries worldwide.

Based on the popular anime 「The Seven Deadly Sins」, the game adopts the ‘casual RPG’ genre, which is a trend in the mobile platform.
 

In the previous Netmarble release, THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS: GRAND CROSS players could enjoy the fun of deck-building that closely resembled the original work. 

In <The Seven Deadly Sins: IDLE Adventure> players can experience a different kind of charm.

Hardcore gamers who dive deep into games may prefer titles with a certain level of depth even on mobile platforms. 

However, when targeting broader players, more casual composition is often effective.

The potential for success in the ‘Idle’ genre has already been demonstrated by games like Seven Knights Idle Adventure.
 

However, it is crucial to come up with a game that stands out from others. 

If the same mechanics used in previous games are simply repeated, players will not feel like they are experiencing something new. 

What kind of differentiation strategy does <The Seven Deadly Sins: IDLE Adventure> have in mind?

Experiencing the ‘Original’ Adventure 

in a Casual RPG

<The Seven Deadly Sins: IDLE Adventure> is a mobile casual RPG based on the popular anime 「The Seven Deadly Sins」. 

It showcases the adventures of the main characters, ‘Meliodas’ and the princess ‘Elizabeth’ set in the kingdom of Liones.

Players progress through stages that capture the original story.

The progress of the game is generally automated.

Once players set up their team with various hero characters from the story, chibi-style characters defeat enemies and bosses on their own while progressing through stages as far as possible

Set Team

However, if left unattended for too long, players will eventually hit a wall in progress.

While the characters tirelessly defeat enemies, players need to collect resources like Gold, Hero EXP, and summon tickets. 

These resources are then used to nurture and strengthen players’ characters and teams.

Resource Collection and Character Growth

There are various ways to secure resources, and the options for growth and enhancement are diverse as well.

Heroes can be leveled up and awakened, and the ‘Tavern’ which boosts the entire team's stats, allows players to enhance Attack, Defense, HP, and reward effects.

Later on, effects are further maximized through Artifacts, Sacred Treasure, and Research Lab.

Nurturing and Strengthening through various methods

Overall,<The Seven Deadly Sins: IDLE Adventure> offers high convenience suitable for a casual RPG, while also requiring careful consideration when manual control is needed, making the gameplay enjoyable.

More Fun with a Familiar IP

The familiar and convenient gameplay style is certainly appealing because it allows players to enjoy the fun of character growth without being stressed out. 

However, convenience alone is not the only charm that will keep players engaged with <The Seven Deadly Sins: IDLE Adventure>.

The game's biggest attraction lies in its adoption of the popular anime IP, 「The Seven Deadly Sins」.

A lot of effort was put into capturing the original story, including inserting cutscenes that recreate iconic scenes from the original work.

Recreating the Atmosphere of the Original

in <The Seven Deadly Sins: IDLE Adventure>

In collection-based games like this, efficiency is usually the top priority, but the use of a well-known IP like this one provides a high level of satisfaction just from collecting characters.

Even though this is a newly released game, players are likely already thinking about which characters they'll become attached to.

Tons of summoning tickets!

Moreover, since this is a casual RPG rather than a typical collection RPG, it is not too difficult to collect characters. 

In fact, the game frequently provides summoning tickets, allowing players to draw a large number of characters.

These summoning tickets also include a small rate to obtain the highest-grade ‘Legendary’ characters.

ttUtilizing 「The Seven Deadly Sins IP」 Perfectly

In this regard, it resembles THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS: GRAND CROSS.

At this early stage of the service, the game appears to  offer great satisfaction to players who enjoy the IP without  being too burdensome.
