Tokyo Ghoul: Break the Chains is back, and this time, it’s set for a global release with a fresh twist. Originally shut down a few months ago, the game has relaunched under a new publisher, giving fans another chance to step into the dark, intense world of this Tokyo Ghoul RPG. However, this isn’t a completely new game; rather, it’s a re-release that comes with certain changes aimed at improving gameplay and appeal.

In this global version, new features have been introduced alongside adjustments to classic elements. For both returning fans and newcomers, understanding these updates is key to making the most out of this revamped experience. Let’s look into what’s new, from daily rewards to character and PvP adjustments, and see what makes this re-release worth exploring.

Launch Celebration and Daily Rewards

One of the first things players will notice in the global release is the launch celebration event. This feature provides a free monthly pass, rewarding 100 gems just for logging in each day. This allows both new and returning players to rack up gems without spending, making it easier to access the game’s premium features from day one. Limited-time events also continue to be part of the gameplay, though they’re redesigned to offer more substantial rewards. For example, the “Peck Contest” now allows players to rank based on the CP (combat power) of newly acquired characters, with better ranks earning enhanced rewards.

New Game Modes: Chain Campaign and World Boss Changes

The Chain Campaign is a fresh addition that spices up the gameplay with its progressive stage-based system. Players work through different levels, eventually facing a final boss. A nice twist in this mode is that if you defeat the boss within two turns, all previous stages in that level are automatically cleared. Rewards include items that boost character upgrades, which are crucial for progressing in higher levels.

The World Boss mode has also been revamped. Accumulating points is now harder, pushing players to focus more on character upgrades to compete. With enhanced rewards for top performances, this change encourages a more strategic approach to leveling up and maintaining high CP stats across characters.

Overhauled PvP Arenas

PvP in the global version introduces specialized arenas for different character types: Strength, Speed, and Skill. This variety allows players to build and fine-tune teams according to the specific demands of each arena. Each PvP arena offers ranking rewards, from gems to RC cells and unique currencies for the in-game PvP shop, which can be exchanged for permanent characters. This system gives players ample time to gradually strengthen these characters and maximize their stars, which is a boon for players interested in competitive gameplay without the pressure of time-limited exclusivity.

Adjustments to Character Skills and Rarity

The global release introduces several adjustments to character skills and rarity levels. Some characters, like Kaneki, now possess a passive skill that levels up after taking no damage in a turn. This adds strategic depth, especially since characters like Kaneki stay in their powerful Blood R state when above 70% health. Meanwhile, characters such as Nishiki have seen a downgrade in rarity, and their combat potential has decreased, a change that may surprise returning players used to previous meta characters. Notably, the new system also allows players to receive a large number of enhancement stones and crystals for free, easing the process of character development.

Story Mode Emphasis and Exploration Rebalance

The story mode now has a greater narrative focus, with fewer combat encounters and more story-driven content. Exploration has also been made simpler in the early maps, with difficulty ramping up only in later stages. This shift allows players to focus on progression without as much grind, making it easier to delve into the storyline while gradually working up through exploration levels.

Increased Accessibility in Summoning and Shops

In this global version, the cost of summoning characters has increased dramatically, with multisummons now costing about 3,000 gems. However, the game compensates by offering gems more freely, allowing players to summon without too much difficulty. The in-game shops also reflect this rebalancing, where some items are pricier than before, but essentials like event tickets and gems are accessible through daily rewards and the new Wheel of Fortune feature.

The Tokyo Ghoul: Break the Chains global release breathes new life into the original game with thoughtful updates and added challenges. For fans of the Tokyo Ghoul anime or players eager to dive into a darker RPG, these changes offer fresh dynamics. Plus, with BlueStacks, you can play Tokyo Ghoul: Break the Chains on PC or laptop, giving you better controls, visuals, and a smoother experience.
