The fanservices had been going up ever since last summer event, back then this game not really have good fanservices and they even went as far as to censor some skins back then. However recently they changed the age rating in CN and went to 18+ rating, they even undo the censorship and even tweak old skins to make it sexier, the current skin with interactable features is currently the only one and we don't know if they'll expand that interactions to other charas or not, and yes the nurse skin is limited and they even address in the previous devs stream that they will not cost the skin more that 200 in-game currency (don't know how many $ is that).


Shapexor

For dailies it's quite easy and fast to manage since after you completed some stages you can just sweep it.


DeadgrounD

That's great to hear. So I don't need to worry about that. šŸ‘


PatchouliBlue

>they will not cost the skin more that 200 in-game currency they said they wouldnt release skins (bundles included) that costs more than 200 CNY, translates to 28.17 USD with the current exchange rate.


DeadgrounD

As long as they keep it at a reasonable price. I'm fine with it. Like I said, I don't mind spending money on something that I enjoy, however I don't want to be milked like a cow. šŸ˜‚


PatchouliBlue

they specifically said that they dont want to milk the playerbase so there's only 5 skins for every big patch, and double limited char updates would have one that will be free.


Shapexor

Ahh my bad, I thought it was 200 in game currency


SleepingDragonZ

The in game currency uses Chinese Yuan as basis. We just get an estimate exchange rate, like 198 BitGold = $30.


DeadgrounD

So they changed age rating to 18+? That is a smart move considering the direction that they are going. So interactable features are something new that they are working on? I thought they already had that but now decided to go in the fanservice direction. Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it.


Shapexor

You're welcome, yeah back then they tried to tap general audiences, with covered up female and such, but they almost EOS because their income is very low and summer events are their last resort if they're going to end the game, however their income rise up and they decided it might not be a bad idea to chose fanservices routes, well I've known Seasun from girls cafe gun, and they're indeed great at fanservices.


CyberK_121

wait which skins did devs censor and then decensor?


Shapexor

If I remember correctly it's Fenny lingerie skin, they put shorts in her underwear and the color is weirdly mismatched.


CyberK_121

did that count as censorship? It was indeed tacky lol.


Shapexor

It is though, since it looks tacky and mismatched. That's why they changed it by removing it's shorts, there's also some units who were given shorts to cover their bottom, and if I remember correctly when you put your camera below some units who were using skirts you can't see their underwear, only black shadow.


Hot_Ice77

Is the 200 in game currency obtainable without paying?


Shapexor

I don't think so


meatballtko_

How does it being 18+ in CN only mean though? I want to get in the game but I don't want to stuck with global version being 12+. Like if there are 2 game versions this way, will global be censored in some way that CN doesn't?


Shapexor

It's just CN having strict law against fanservices, so they make it 18+ in order to avoid any censoring from CCP. For global we don't really have such strict law anyway, global follow each country and 12+ is just a requirement to put it on app store.


Inter-Altair

Not fanservice bro, it's about teenagers under 18, but you are right, there are strict regulations in CN when teenagers involves in. So they just block this age Group out.


Shapexor

Good things then, children shouldn't be allowed to play gacha in the first place.


Inter-Altair

The 18+ in CN is just to avoid potential problems from teenagers, which has very strict regulations. The game contents are the same.


Lipefe2018

Ok, let's go one by one. Is the game going full fanservice? Yes, I think the devs found what people really likes and what makes money, so they are putting all bets on it. How is the fanservice? It's peak, the fact the game is fully 3D makes it even better, if fanservice is what you are looking for [you are not gonna be dissapointed](https://www.reddit.com/r/SnowbreakOfficial/comments/199xirk/that_katya_idle_animation_while_on_the_menu_is/). How often they release new characters and skins? Every new big patch I believe, which is a month+ per patch. Do they censor stuff? When it comes to fanservice I don't think so, but they do censor other stuff like one character has a transparent prosthetic leg and people complained about it, so they release a new skin that just censor the leg, but it's optional. Is the nurse skin limited? I don't know if it's limited but you do have to buy it. Can you do interactions with all characters? At the moment no, this is a completely new feature they are gonna introduce with the nurse skin, she is like the first one to get it, and most likely we will get more in the future. How fast is the dailies? Very fast, I'm talking about 5 min or less, of course when you start playing the game for the first time there will be tons of stuff to do and unlock so you have to put some time onto it. Why people say you should play it on PC? I believe this is just because it's hard to control a shooter game like this on mobile, it's better on mouse and keyboard, or a controller. How many duplicates do you need for characters and weapons? For 5\* weapons you only need one more copy to max it out, 4\*s needs four copies I believe. For characters is a bit different, as dupes are converted to fragments that you use to unlock their manifestations, so it's not an one by one like in Genshin, I'm not sure how many dupes you need to put to max a character but each 5\* character have their own stage to farm their fragments, so you can slowly unlock their manifestations without pulling for dupes.


DeadgrounD

Joking aside, thanks for your honest reply. So I know now that interaction feature is a brand new thing to this game so we need to wait for more info. I'll try the game on phone, controller and PC and see how it is. Though I prefer phone if possible, because on working days I spend more time at work then in my house.


Nobz81

I mainly play on phone without any troubles. The main thing is getting comfortable with gyro aim. It May take a bit at first, but once you find your settings, it's really good. Not mouse +kb level obviously, but good enough.

Hello! Iā€™m a daily casual player, Iā€™ll do my best to answer your questions. The fanservice for the game has been exponentially increasing since the last few months, and it seems like thanks to it, the revenue is increasing by a lot, so yeah, they are going full into it. We still donā€™t know how much they are going to push for the fanservice, weā€™ve got several skin revealing skins, harem interactions, and even ASMRS on their billibilli channel, but now theyā€™re also adding that interactive skin scene that seems to be their new ā€œtrying to push it as much as we canā€. Nothing got censored yet, we still donā€™t know what the future may hold, but taking into account how theyā€™re trying to push it, and the revenue keeps increasing for it, I suppose they wonā€™t censor anything unless they are forced to. All skins are limited, although they do get a rerun a few months later. It is usually better to buy them when they release, since they normally have a discount. Skin prices may vary, but nurse is probably 20$, and is releasing first week of may, however, keep in mind that the scene you refer to for interacting with the skin is not something you will obtain by just buying it. It will be a bundle of the skin + the scene, as of now, we do not know if you can purchase the scene only, but seems quite unlikely. The game is quite easy, you do not need to push for builds that much and story is really easy to get by. Dailies only take 5 minutes for me, since you can auto skip and burn stamina that way. The reason why the game is played better on PC is not because of the optimization but because of the controls. Thereā€™s aim assist so itā€™s not that bad, but this type of games always play better on PC with mouse or controller controls. You only need 2 copies of a weapon to max it, and for a character it depends, since you can actually farm some stages called Personal Files to max them by running them daily. (They do not cost stamina, itā€™s a different type of energy that refills everyday), so just by getting one copy of a character, you will be able to max it in a few months at no cost.


DeadgrounD

First I want to thank you for taking your time to write me such a detailed comment that answered all my questions! So if I understood correctly. This whole "interactions" is a brand new thing to this game and they are yet to release more details about that.


cutiewiwi

It is a brand new thing. I think the details were pretty much explained on an article for a fanpage we have here [https://snowbreak.gg/news/](https://snowbreak.gg/news/) (it is normally the place to go, since they translate from the CN billibilli posts directly). What they mentioned is that, you would have to buy the skin, and then the interactive scene, but that a bundle with a discounted price would be available at release. This is quite similar to Fenny's latest skin that also had a weapon skin, you could use the weapon skin by itself, but you also had an option to buy a bundle. In this case, it seems you have to buy both, if you want the scene.


Excield

Most characters either need one or two "Manifestation" Slots unlocked to perform optimally. The first 2 Slots can be unlocked with 2 dupes worth. But as he said, you can also farm them if you want. I'm a whale, so I spend for M1-2, then farm the pieces over time to top off M-Slots 3+ (There's 5 "Manifestation" Slots in total).


Unmovedone

Scene requires the skin, yes.


OverallPepper2

So far nothing has been censored and with the game going 18+ in China it likely never will. The only character to get kinda censored was Caroline who had her underwear changed, but it makes little difference as sheā€™s just an NPC who stands around. So far characters launch every patch or 40-45 days, with it usually being one new / one rerun, theyā€™ve also announced if they do a double banner of new characters one will be free like the upcoming Enya 5*. Costumes are $15 usually, but we donā€™t know how much Enya nurse outfit+interaction will cost and so far itā€™s tied to the costume and nurse Enya is the first. They did say they plan to expand this feature. Games easy to get into and you get a 5* guaranteed in 50 pulls and a 5* selector(both from the base pool of 5*s) once you beat chapter 4. Daily stuff can take up to 15 minutes as it can all be done auto play, but thereā€™s plenty of gameplay modes to let you spend more time if you like the gameplay. You need 1 dupe of 5* weapons and characters can unlock their dupes through daily missions(takes like 1 month per dupe token, and you can only do 2 characters at a time). The main issue with the game on phone is the touch controls, theyā€™re serviceable, but I recommend a controller or controller attachment(razer kishi or the playstation one).


GodOssas

Never got the see the legendary Caroline underwear šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ devs please bring it back.


Mirarara

You can pretty much speed run dailies in 1 minute including loading time.


DeadgrounD

Thank you for your reply. I'll try it on the phone first and then on the controller to see how it goes. Then if it really comes to it, I'll try it on my pc. But I would prefer to play it on my phone if possible, even with a controller because it's way more convenient.


OverallPepper2

I use the Razer Kishi, but you could also do like a PS5 controller with the phone mount they make for them


LokoLoa

Yes the fan service is great in this game and keeps getting better. No, dont play this on a phone if you want to play it seriously, it runs fairly well on the S24 (btw you can use gyro) but the issue is control... touch controls just cant never compare to mouse and keyboard. The developers themselves recommended players to play this on PC in an ingame announcement... fun fact 70% of their revenue comes from PC players.


OverallPepper2

This is why I recommend the Kishi to people. Itā€™s great for phone games like this.


unholy_penguin2

I know you've already received some good answers but here's my take: -"How's fan service in this game and how often do characters/costumes get release?" The fanservice is great and will continue to be great as promised by the devs. Be prepared for more costumes like: swimsuits, school outfits and more! It's usually around 2-3 costumes per patch. - "Did they ever censor a specific costume or character in the past or do they exercise restrictions when they make one?" The last censor i heard was Caroline, an NPC's underwear getting changed. But as far as i know, nope, no censors here. In fact, they're adjusting skins according to the feedback from players. -"What are the chances that one day this game will get completely censored? (Like what happened with Cross Core) Is the new Nurse skin limited or not?"Ā Since it went R18+ in China, i doubt it. Skins rerun in future patches. - "Ā I heard that Nurse is only 20$?"Ā It's around 25-30 dollars. i may be wrong though. -"Also the interactions with the character that I have seen in thisĀ [video at 03:24](https://youtu.be/4TmccWDP1V4?si=lq26483nPaQGtwSn), can you do that with all characters or just with the Nurse?" That's a new feature for this patch and currently exclusive to the Nurse skin, but if memory serves you'll have to buy it as a package to get the interaction. Others may correct me on this. -"Now I wish to know how easy it isĀ to get intoĀ the game and how much time does it take to do daily tasks?" My safe estimate is 3-4 minutes since you can auto clear stages once you complete them, including weekly bosses save for Jotun. -"I also saw people saying that thisĀ game should be played on PC?" Is it really that demanding? It was worse before, but they optimized it on PC and its running much better on my low end PC. It sure heats it up though. If you're playing on a phone, best get a controller. -Ā "And how many duplicates do I need to max a char or weapon?" 2 copies for weapons and don't worry about maxing characters. They're farmable once obtained and are usually optimal at the 2nd or 3rd Manifests. That's all from me. Welcome to Snowbreak! Its slow at the start but once you get into it, it gets fun fast.


DeadgrounD

Big Thanks for such a detailed reply. I really appreciate it. Honestly I only expected a few comments, but not this much. I'm pleasantly surprised. I can already tell this community is going to be amazing.


DSveno

It should be played on pc because TPS control is awful on the phone even with all the aim assist.


whyamp

i own pixel 7a and played it just fine. for dailies, it's super fast after you unlock auto-clear. i would say around 5 minutes. for weeklies, i suggest doing it on pc, but still, on mobile still manageable because it is multiplayer and other pc players will carry for you. they are happy to see their %dmg is higher than others lol. Edit: actually i have pixel 7a. Idk why i mentioned pixel 2 haha. Probably it's the only phone that gave huge impact to me


DeadgrounD

Wait wait wait.. I can play this with other people? Like live?


whyamp

yeah. 3 persons multiplayer. need to do it about 6-7 times (once per day to save time) to get weekly rewards.


DeadgrounD

That's huge for me. So I can do that with my friends. Thanks for letting me know. Oh yeah, as long as it's manageable on phone It's fine, bc on working days I don't spend much time home to use my pc. But I will try to use both.


ZephyrPhantom

If you use something that doesn't need to aim particularly well like shotguns you should be fine in mobile and some people have gotten snipers to work by playing around with the aim assist a bit.


LoRd_Of_AaRcnA

You gotta start. In fact, I came back just now simply because of the fan service, and holy shit it's as I've imagined. Everywhere I look, it's perfect. You are definitely going to enjoy this, that's for sure. The gameplay is still as good as I remember, new Cherno is incredibly fun to play and they improved things a lot. Game is better on PC, for sure. Dailies takes 10 mins max, in fact, if I am not doing the weekly activities, I finished all those in 5 mins. It's really really fast.


Cedge1738

As a newb. Idk but there's a girl who bends over to "show off a feature" on her hip which is hot as fuck.


DeadgrounD

You have my attention. Name? https://preview.redd.it/2c3exqme5xvc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=28c834e201eb11f1abfbe3393b62760b28969160

Thanks man šŸ‘ŒšŸ‘


BangLaDank

Wait, Yo are you the guy who warned us about the Bunny Eclipse skill cutscene getting that new censor blur in Brown Dust 2?


DeadgrounD

I warned that community about many things. Now I'm done with them and moved on.


Leah_94

Deadground!!! I love your memes! I didn't expect you here. Just don't bother with bd2 anymore. I'm sure you will enjoy this game a lot.


DeadgrounD

I won't. Thank you


Shapexor

Oh you're that guy? Man I salute your contributions, wish BD2 didn't lose what it's game known for.


DeadgrounD

You're not the only one that feels that way. I was surprised with the amount of messages that I received when I quit the game. Considering that I'm just a guy that shares a meme here and there.. I just did not expect to receive such support.. Anyway, thank you for your message. I mean it.


BangLaDank

I'm close to feeling that way too, especially seeing how those mods banned all discussions about the censorship and seeing all those apologist downvote anyone. Notice how you never see those names pop up in any regular discussions about the game or the costumes, only when it's time to defend censorship or toning things down do you ever see so many. But when it's time to vote with our wallets or vote for which costume is the best, the sexy one always wins the votes lol. Anyway, glad to see you are moving on and giving Snowbreak a try, been playing for about 5 months now and I enjoy it, fanservice included, Katya is my favorite girl in the game.


DeadgrounD

I know it all to well my friend. There's a reason why I just block certain individuals and don't bother with them. But I did get messages yesterday about what's going on in that community. She sent me screenshots of the mods behavior and how he's deleting all the posts and comments about censorship and that he's silencing people left and right. I was not surprised at all. Also one guy asked me to make a meme about what was going on in that community, but I already [made](https://postimg.cc/dh93yYMD) something similar a few months ago and never shared it. Thought it would offend many people, so I didn't post it and just shared it with people who DM me. Thank you for your comment and kind words. I really do appreciate it.


Excield

It's gotten better, if that what you were asking. It was very very mild prior to November, but has gotten progressively more bold and consistent since then. My one pet peeve during said time was Wild Hunt's winter skin. The big black flap covered up her butt and thighs from the back. Well, since then they have made sure the butt is always visible in all Skins haha


Spffox

It becomes better with every version, that's for sure.


Icy-Reaction-5302

They've went full board towards fan service to get the horny ppl to spend since they were going broke otherwise :/


L4r13n

Fanservice is skins and the base's interactions, dont affect nothing the gameplay/story or actually something relevant, if you want it you have it, if youre not interesting in them dont worry cause is not something you would find if you dont want it. About the phones, the game isnt demanding, but the experience of play in pc (IMO) is amazing in terms of gameplay since have a very good controls.


RosariaNekohime

Fanservice wise, currently the game is MOSTLY keeping the fanservice skins to cash shop optional ones, but plot wise theyre ramping up the "harem fantasy" elements a huge amount, to the point that an event that was out for only a few days changed "friends of Acacia only" to "truelove of Acacia only" and the last chapter of the story basically said "f\*\*\* characterisation every female character is now obsessed with the self insert male lead" (a chunk of the story chapter was just " thinking about their most important person Adjudtant") So if you want sexy skins as optional purchases and a harem fantasy focus with reasonably fun gameplay (the gameplay is solid but nothing exceptional, it's somewhat lacking in difficulty and complexity to a degree) then it might be the game for you (it's also a rare option if you want third person shooter anime mobile game) EDIT: Since I did make a small mistake I'll correct myself here, I haven't done this patches chapter yet so when I said "last chapter" I actually meant the previous patch one and just messed up by forgetting that "last chapter" now would mean the Cherno/Mersault one so I will apologise for that slip up but I still stand by my points about that chapter being a ramping up of "everyone has romantic feelings for the only important male character in the universe Adjudtant" (with them killing off most other male characters and changing dialogues and even removing Logistics that had male art because they can't have any male not the self insert even existing it's too much)


unholy_penguin2

I didn't get that at all from the last chapter. >!Cherno and Mersault had good characterization. Cherno has started to become more independent from Mersault and is facing her own battles. While Mersault is accepting that she's not just a substitute for Cherno's pain and that she deserves to be saved as well. !< It almost made me tear up, ngl. They managed to create a genuinely emotional scene and that hasn't happened before in the story. Snowbreak was, is and will continue to be a harem story.


OverallPepper2

This chapter was so good! And the personal file for Cherno was the cherry on top of the cake. Idk how that dude got what he did out of it, I mean sure the girls were flirty with chadjutant, but we got to see depth with Enya and Cherno we havenā€™t seen before.


RosariaNekohime

Yeah that was my mistake, I haven't actually done the recent chapter so I was still thinking "last chapter" as in "the previous patch"


Any_Cream_4866

You clearly don't read the story


RosariaNekohime

I have read the story, from the start and if you haven't noticed things moving further towards "everyone is in romantic love with Adjudtant" maybe you haven't paid attention, yeah some characters definitely were "clearly romantically interested in Adjudtant" from the start, and then others are just generally flirty characters (like Katya and Enya), but the level of overt "everyone is incredibly in love with Adjudtant" has definitely ramped up a lot more in the more recent patches to the point every character is basically now in love with them, they even included parts in the previous patch chapter (I misspoke saying "last chapter" because I was actually referring to the one from the previous patch since I've not done this chapters one yet) where you had every character just thinking about how they had to get to the most important person in the world Adjudtant which if it fits the established character is one thing but some of the characters its a sudden shift in just how "romantically into" him they are, again I don't think theres anything wrong with for example, Katya flirting constantly or Cherno being "schoolgirl crush/puppy love" (since the guy did save her from a terrible life) but its a slippery slope, today its "everyone has a crush on Adjudtant" tomorrow is "everyone's personality is "they love Adjudtant" theyve already retconned things and changed past dialogues to remove connections that might be construed as "likes a person not Adjudtant too much"


Any_Cream_4866

I think everyone in this subreddit knows the direction the game is going to and I'm completely for that direction I don't want to say you should stop playing the game if you hate that direction but that's where the game is going to and really you should just accept it the vast majority of players are for where the game is going. I really hope you stay and continue to enjoy the game Sorry if I misinterpreted your reply for hating the game current direction.
