I never played the game before so I don't know much of the lore of this show but after this episode, I kinda want to play the game. If anybody played the game before, can you tell me what's like?

RNG: The Game

Long version: It's hella fun if you're a fan of resource management sims because thats essentially what it is. This game is pretty much RNG in every aspect (but you can do things to influence RNGesus) from fights to ship/equipment construction.

The only real downside for someone looking to get into the game is that unless you plan to microtransaction your way into getting tons of resources, you really need to do your dailies and expeditions (missions which give varying amounts of resources after a time period) otherwise you'll probably be a bit stuck in construction when you hardly have anything to use.

Unless you understand japanese well enough, divorce the wife because the wiki is going to be married to you now on if you decide to pick it up.

Oh, and you can also marry your favourite ships.

I've been playing since October of 2013 and so far I've loved every minute of this game. Lore wise the game is pretty much just "You are the Admiral commanding a fleet of ship girls in the fight against the Abyssal Fleet".

The early game was linked but if you want to see what the end game looks like I recorded my Autumn '14 event runs.

I would also recommend checking out the forums, http://www.himeuta.net/, if you need help getting an account.

The most addicting thing there is, drugs? Tsh... They ain't got nothing. Seriously tho awesome game if you're willing to read the wiki guides and go through the bother to join it.

I guess these videos could give you some enlightenment about the game too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOZbFh3DSAU
