Evaluation

Reverse: 1999 is a free-to-play gacha RPG that launched on Steam on October 8, 2024, and has been in uninterrupted live service ever since. Bluepoch ships new numbered versions on a roughly 4–6 week cadence, each delivering new main story chapters, new playable characters via time-limited gacha banners, new events, and new or updated gameplay systems. Since the game's Steam launch, confirmed major versions include: 2.0, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7 — with Version 3.7 (On Another's Sorrow) going live on August 13, 2026, just six days before today's date. This is the game's 3rd Anniversary update, featuring a new main story chapter, two new limited character banners, a free 6-star character login reward, anniversary sign-in events, and new garments in the shop. Events from this version run through September 24, 2026, confirming active content well beyond today. The game's monetization structure includes recurring battle pass-style tiers (Roar Jukebox Collector's and Deluxe Editions), rotating limited banners with paid summon currency, and a garment shop with new cosmetics each version. This is a live service designed to run indefinitely. The January 2025 developer broadcast reaffirmed commitment to ongoing story and content expansion, and the 3rd Anniversary celebration demonstrates the game is still in full operation with no signs of winding down.

With the aid of Sonetto, a powerful Arcanist and ally from the Foundation, your mission is to travel through eras to where the "Storm" is most active, find other Arcanists who can sense the coming "Storm," and save them from being "sifted out" of the timeline.
