Video summary
Dynamite Blue is an upcoming story-driven turn-based 2.5 DRPG developed by Cosmos 12, a studio known for creating Exos Heroes. The game features a rich narrative and character collection elements, with a global launch scheduled for September 30th across Google Play, the App Store, and Steam. While the Korean version launched earlier in July with English translation support, the developer has recently announced plans to merge servers or create a unified server for both regional and global players, though PvP mechanics will initially separate new and veteran users until balance is achieved. Players are encouraged to pre-register via the game's official website or social media channels, as previous registration links have been updated following a rebranding of their Twitter account.
The gameplay experience centers on exploration, deep storytelling, and strategic team building within a turn-based combat system. The interface allows for world exploration where hidden items and interactions can be discovered, alongside an idle mining system to gather resources. A key feature is the migration system, which enables players to transfer high-level characters and their equipment to new accounts or progress stages, reducing the grind required to level up every unit. The gacha system follows a standard 2% rate for five-star units (referred to as XA) with a guaranteed pity mechanism, and while the game is not overly reliant on duplicate farming, skill leveling remains crucial for unlocking specific abilities and stats that define a character's power.
Character progression in Dynamite Blue relies heavily on skill upgrades rather than just collecting duplicates, with certain abilities unlocking at specific skill levels to enhance combat effectiveness. The roster includes standard units, newly added characters that join the general pool, and limited-time characters that require strategic investment due to their rarity and strength. Combat is flexible for most PvE content but demands careful team composition and ability synergy for PvP scenarios. Overall, the game presents itself as a respectful side game that can be played in short sessions of around twenty to thirty minutes, making it an attractive option for collectors who enjoy narrative depth without demanding excessive time commitment.

Hey guys, so Dynamite Blue is an
upcoming storydriven turnbased 2.5
DRPG developed by Cosmos 12 featuring a
core of developers behind Exos Heroes.
So if you have remembered Exos Heroes
then definitely you are going to be
familiar with the art of this game but
this is not really the same game as Xers
here. So please bear with me. We're
going to be talking about um some of the
details that they have uh um announced
recently plus um I'm talking about a
little bit of history here. So, they did
a soft launch for KR way back in July
1st. So, this is technically my 75th day
playing uh the game. By the way, the KR
version has English translation. So,
we'll be talking later about um possible
global KR servers or possible merging
of, you know, or one server for both KR
and global. We're going to be doing a
little bit of um [music] what do you
call this? an exploration of the actual
game. But let's go first with this. So,
Global is launching on September 30th.
It's launching as usual as uh they
announced previously in Google Play, App
Store, and Steam on the same day. I am
actually looking forward to playing this
on Steam because I would want a bigger
interface for this game. And um
there's nothing wrong with the interface
for the tablet, for my tablet or my
phone, but I just want it in a bigger
screen because the artwork for this game
is the way we expect it to be way back
in Exos Heroes, but they have um
announced recently, this was on
September 11, uh rebuilding our Twitter
and pre-registration. So if you did like
their follow their their Twitter and uh
pre-register, those are gone. you have
to redo both again. So, they do have a
new Twitter account or X account.
[music] So, I'll be putting all of these
links in the description. Don't worry
about that. You could find them later.
And also pre-register again in Google
Play um here or you could actually
wishlist them on Steam. I already
wishlisted way back. So, those are the
details I think you should know about
this game. It's also kind of an um a
little bit of an idol game. So,
turn-based idol. Um going to give you my
honest thoughts in a while. So, let's go
to some of the information that you
would want to access [music]
before you play the game. So, they did
put this as well. I'm going to be
putting the link as well of this uh site
here. This one is a codeex for all of
the characters that they released so far
in um in KR and this is translated in
English. This is a this is a a Chinese
uh CN KR and EN translation to this. So
you could check out all of the
characters and what they do. And we do
have notices here as well. If you want
to see notices
um for the game moving forward, you
could actually see this here as well.
But they already okay um they already
were able to launch their official
website which is this one. So the
website is separate from the codeex but
I think characters are here as well. I'm
not sure. I haven't really gone through
all of the characters in specific if
they have uh no they it's just a preview
but the more detailed um skill of the
characters are going to be happening in
the codeex. This one is a brief um you
know a description of what the game is.
You could also pre-register here, watch
the trailer. Um there are a lot of
things to go over their website. So
please check this one out. Character art
is here and uh towns, mini games,
turn-based battles, story cuts,
everything is here. So, the game is
heavy on story. There also separate
story profiles for some of the
characters and how they came into the
game, how their backstory is. So, you're
going to be seeing it in a while. So,
[music]
again, guys, looking forward for you to
play this. Let's get a tour of the game.
So, right now, this is currently what
they have in KR. I am currently at level
14 and I'm hooking this to my tablet.
So, again, as you can see, um when I
showcase a game, it's better to be on
the PC than on a tablet. So, let's go
through. Signet game is more on your,
you [music] know, your early progression
chapters. one 27. Right now, I've I've
done most of it and I've finished it up
to hard chapter, but you guys are going
to be farming for this stage more on for
I think for the poles or the gotacha
poles. So, let's go. We'll go to gotcha
polls in a bit. The whole interface
here, this is pro is most likely your
exploration. Okay, before we go to the
main menu, um this is your exploration.
You could actually go out and explore
[music] the world or the village that
they have. So let us see this. So this
is the exploration. There are hidden
items within the world. I won't go
further into exploration because they
might they might update this during
global, but there are hidden
interactions and hidden uh items to go
out and search for them. So right now
this is as far as we go. So, let's go
back to [music] um our headquarters. So,
Dynamite Blue headquarters. Uh we do
have Lily. We do have a couple of
interactions here with your mates here,
but we do also have um Jackpot. So,
Jack, not Jackpot, Jukebox [laughter]
Slot Machine. Jukebox is uh more of a
raid system that they've put into place.
Uh we'll know the final mechanics of
this. So you you can actually farm for
resources here. [music] Gotcha resources
are huge here. So you could farm this as
you grow your roster. And what else do
we have here? So that is it so far for
this part of the um the interface. Then
you do have your net mining which is uh
going to be an idle system or idle um
resource collection. Let's go to
application.
So for your application, this is where
your main interface going to be. Um,
pocket story is going to be stories
about specific characters that you have
in the game. Not necessarily for not not
necessarily your characters. Some of
them are bosses. Um, they have their
stories here. I haven't actually done
some of them yet, but we will. My
favorite is actually the first one was
uh Baka which was actually interesting
on how she became uh who she is now as a
character. Um also as we go back there
is the migration.
Migration is putting together your
topleveled characters and once you
[music] put in the migration slot
characters that you want to follow their
level then they follow their level. So
uh right now I have 1 160 on the left
side and all at 130. So everybody's
following the level 130. But be careful.
Please read through the um what do you
call this the
uh conditions of migration because you
might you might be confused. I won't go
into the I won't go deeper into this
probably when the game is launched. But
this one is a nice um system that they
have so that you won't have to level up
as much every character in the game. So
not only the level also you get to
follow their skill level, not skill
level skill level no but the equipment
level that they have is also carried
over. So as you can see there uh all of
my equipment below are at level 10. So
each of the characters also on the right
side will also get level 10 uh
equipment. So normally for my dailies
for this you go to the guild. So far the
guild [music] has um has only a checkin
um they haven't launched any content
yet. It's only a check-in reward for uh
what do you call this for your
character. You just have to check in
gain um gotcha tickets. Then again after
that um we're going to go through uh the
friend section because the friend
section is you need this because there
is a certain
um
what do you call this resource that you
need to gather because when you exchange
you build up this resource here this one
on the upper right hand side then you go
to summon it in your
uh what do you call this in your chain
link chain link is where the recruitment
happens. Okay, so recruit limited uh
current characters. Also, for the free
banner, you got to, you know, you this
is a this is the regular banner, by the
way. This is your normal chain link,
which has a discount, but this one is
tied to your friends. So, the currency
up there is the one that you want to
have so that you could have free pulls
and free characters. So, let's do one
summon here. 1 100. So, this one is for
11 summons, as you could check the
animation for the summons for yourself.
Um,
I'm not sure if this is going to be the
final animation for the summons. Uh,
we'll have to see when global uh comes
out because again, this is part of the
soft launch. Uh, this is not part of the
global launch. So, they're currently
doing their best to try to keep up up
until they release the game on September
[music]
30th. Okay. So, that is where the
summons is.
So, so far nothing. So, normally if you
have a um SR, it's red. then your they
they're they're terming it as XA. They
have a different term for the rarities,
but in our in normal terms is SR is a
red. Usually the SSR is going to be um
kind of a rainbowish color. So that is
it for the summons. I won't I I'm
actually not summoning much right now.
I'm saving for a new character banner.
Um, I do have the current uh character
that that they have here for the chain
link. Um, I won't be um summoning for
Heeki because I have already at least I
think one or two copies, I believe.
We'll go to my roster. That's the last
part. So, ground pass is going to be the
um battle pass. [music] So, I'm only
opening up to the free one. I'm I did
not get in the paid battle pass because
this one um the store here doesn't um
has the one store by the way. Okay, by
the way, you could actually link if
you're go if um there is a I actually
link this one to Google Play already. So
I could basically play my account with
global. Um again the global question and
KR KR and global will be in one server.
Um, the only issue there is going to be
with PvP, but they're going to be
separating new players [music] and new
players and old players for PvP. And up
until everybody is the same, kind of
about the same level, then they will
kind of merge both for PvP. But both uh
KR and global will be on the same
server. That is why they already have an
English translation for this one. Uh PvP
by the way is this one GFC which has
ended already. I can't showcase anything
to you guys but um this is the lounge
shop. Um I think this one is the paid
shop. Then we do have um if you want to
check out the characters uh sorry this
one is the membership level. Um if you
want to check out the characters it's in
the yellow page. All the characters that
you have and you don't have, they're
actually here. [music] And uh some of
the characters I don't have. I missed
them because I'm I'm actually free to
play right now. So only the characters
that I pulled I have, but that will
change when the once the game launches.
Then we do have infinity circuit
infinite infinite level um tower which
is um right now a max of um 50 uh
because uh again this is a soft launch.
This is not the final product yet. We do
have another game mode which is going to
be firewall which is uh against the boss
behind with a horse of a head. Then we
do have code
another one of um this one is they
haven't unlocked all of these because of
the of soft launch but let's see a game
play here. This one is for a big boss.
So so far this one okay I've I've uh
I've completed my entries here. So so
far okay let's do firewall.
Let's do one take with firewall so that
you could see most likely [music]
what is going to I'm I'm having this on
auto but you could actually do this on
manual. I would rather you have this on
auto. Um
team building and team synergy will
depend on
and will depend on uh what do you call
this? It will depend on the abilities of
your characters.
And
let's say for example, if it's if it's
PvP, you'll need to have specific
abilities of characters to win in PvP.
Um, almost all of the the other uh PvE
content is is actually flexible in terms
of abilities. And uh we'll talk about
dupes, the gotacha system. Sorry, I
forgot. Let's go back to the gotacha
system. Um, let's talk about the gotacha
rates after this one. So, this one is is
a no-brainer because again, uh, I'm
overleveled already. And let's go back
to the gotacha system before I forget.
Uh, I actually forgot about it. So, let
us pass [music] this up. I'm sure you
guys are asking what the gotcha rates
are. There is a 50/50.
Okay, there is a 50/50.
And the gotcha rates let us see gota
chain link. So the probability here is
okay so standard banner 2% for XA. XA is
SSR. X is SR. Okay. So that's 2%. Uh
pickup gotcha which is your um new
charact for new characters. It's also 2%
and Xgrade summon is 100%. So, standard
gacha detail odds per character. So,
every character is there,
but so far, as far as I know, I'm not
sure if they're going to be changing
this. Um, there is a 50/50 to I'm not
sure it it it wasn't stipulated here on
the 50/50. There aren't details on the
50/50 yet, but again, um, based on my
experience, I actually lost some of the
polls, but the second one is a
guarantee. I'm not sure if it's a 50/50,
7525, but uh there is some kind of uh
hurdle there. So, net mining again is
for your idol. Mainstream is uh story.
So, you will be opening up story. You
will get these rewards here. Um the
story is actually interesting. A the
game is driven mostly by story and
mostly by by collection of characters.
So mission is where your task list is
daily, weekly, achievement, title, blah
blah blah. Then you have your inventory,
team setup. You could set up a couple of
teams here. B I'm going to be going into
detail on what types of characters are,
what's a great setup in another video,
but not now. And the last one is going
to be your character info
in which case um we do have a couple
security level is going to be leveling
up in terms of shards. Okay, so that is
the only thing that you should know
about this game. Um let's go to one of
the characters here. Um right now I will
have this character. So Ahri here is one
of probably the best characters right
now. um not she's a support technically
but um her what the survivability that
she gives to the team I'll talk about it
on a separate video. So we do have we do
have uh what do you call this? We do
have skill the active skill we do have
the passive skill. There are only two
skills. Um we're going to I'm going to
go through the details of battle in a
couple of videos. Plus, you do have here
the uh gear that is actually uh in the
migration system. So, again, if you're
asking me if the game is dup heavy, I
don't think so because dupes only give
you additional combat power. Um skills,
like for example, for Ari here, as you
can see, as you go to level 10, 20, 30,
and 40, there are certain skills that
unlock in her kit. So, it's not based on
dupes. It's how you level up the skill.
So, as you can see, you must make sure
that you level up the skill of a
specific character that you need because
um right now defense plus 8 is unlocked
by skill level three. Invincible unlocks
at skill [music] 40. Um
and the the shield is at uh equal to 70.
I think I unlocked that at level 20. So
again, the value of the character is is
more or less because on what level you
can unlock their skill. So it's not it's
not dupheavy to be honest with you. You
could go through content
because there it's not dupe heavy. So
leveling up is here. Security level
shards. So, for each of the character
that you pull, I think beyond the second
character,
uh, you'll be given shards. So, it's not
automatically going to be copies of the
same character. It's going to be a shard
system. Um, okay, comment down in the
comment section on the shard system. um
or if you would want more of a per
character that you know is given to you
instead of a shard once you pull them in
a banner. So most of the time guys um
you could you could check all of the
details of your characters here uh what
skills or stats are given to you during
an upgrade. Okay, so crit rate attack,
combat power, combat power. So copies of
a character are actually combat powers.
And then you do have the license here.
License is more on the grouping of
characters. Okay, because some stages
are grouped through licenses. Then you
have matchups.
Then you have character classes which I
will discuss next. Then you have the
attack range and BP system. So that is
more or less for the character. We do
have costumes or skins for the
character.
So, so far the character right now is
not
it's not as you know it's it's 2D uh but
it's um some of the characters do move
in 2D um depending on where you view
them but for the characters here it's
not right now. They might change this in
the future. I'm not sure. We'll have to
ask them. H don't take my word for it.
But more or less those are your
characters. I'm missing some. And okay,
my final thoughts for the game is it's a
nice game. It's a nice turn-based game
which doesn't really take much of your
time. I would usually do my dailies
between what 20 minutes minimum, 30
minutes while I'm doing something else.
Autoplay does that. And uh it's very
respectable of your time. It's more of
an it's I would look at it as a
collector, a character to collector
because right now um it's it's very it's
very fun to play. Um exploration is
actually
we have several levels of exploration
that you could go to interactions. It's
actually story driven. So it's story and
character collection more or less. So,
but you do have characters that are, you
know, that have that are that are
limited. Like for example, let's go back
to the characters. I do have two limited
characters here. We have Bika and also
we do have Hayden, which are very strong
characters that you would want. Um, you
would want to ex, you know, have dupes
for them instead of um there are certain
Okay, there are there are your standard
characters. There are characters that
are new and there are limited
characters. So there are three types of
characters. Your your standard pool is
your standard pool of course. Your um
new characters are added but they get
added to the to the pool and you have
your limited characters which is not
added to the pool. They you can actually
pull them again on a rerun of the
banner. So, they're not they're not
very, you know, it's it's hard to get to
get uh limited characters now, but we'll
see on how they rerun, you know, limited
banners in the future. But again, I
would highly suggest that you invest
more on the limited car uh characters in
terms of dupes because they're hard to
get and the rest of the characters you
could play, you know, with as many dupes
as you have, provided that you level up
the skills, please. Uh don't mind the
dupes as of this moment. So that you
know that those are my thoughts. Um I've
been enjoying this um in for me a nice
side game because I am playing my
Karachi in Girls Front Line [music] 2
and this just takes 20 minutes of my
time. That's it. So comment down in the
comment section what do you think guys
take care, stay safe. This the warden
and I'm out of here.
