In The First Descendant, players have access to various kinds of missions that can be completed either alone or in a company of up to 4 players. By completing missions, players receive new loot, including weapons and other equipment. It is also possible to unlock or buy new characters.
The game was developed by the South Korean studio NEXON and has certain features of Asian developers, including a rather explicit design of female characters that has already made a lot of headlines online.
However, the game also has its own problems. At the release, players received a lot of bugs, optimization issues, and downed servers. Among other things, many players complain about the aggressive microtransaction policy and the fact that The First Descendant is essentially a pay-2-win game.
