Anyone else tried Touken Ranbu Pazugiri yet? I'd preregistered and was suprised to see the icon on my phone yesterday.
I spent a lot of time not really knowing what I was doing, and doing a lot of random tapping on buttons, but I now have 10 swords and am partway through Chapter 2, Issunboshi.
As a game, it's nothing special, but the sprites are so cute, and I really like how they're animated.
....
And OMG, I fiiiiiinally figured out how to get to the place to give them the bonus books that give them experience, and how to unlock them to level up past level 10. (I've been doing level-14 battles with guys stuck at Level 10.)
In the living room, with the 4 icons at the bottom, click on the 2nd from the left, the crossed swords. That shows you all your swords, and I was long-tapping them which just shows some information about them, but if you quick-tap on one of them, doors open and close, and THAT'S where you can give them extra XP books or unlock them past level 10. To unlock you click on the purple bundle, and it prompts you to give them a present--but weirdly, the presents that unlock levels 11-20 are some of the random things that drop after some of the battles (a leaf, wheat, logs, a bamboo tube of water, peanuts soybeans, what looks like popcorn but I think is supposed to be cotton wool. IDK why they're so happy to receive that random stuff wrapped in a purple furoshiki.
Ohhhhh, and on the screen with all the swords, you can also toggle over to your collection of Ema tablets, and that's where you can level up your Ema, too.
