Wuthering Waves aims to blend engaging combat with a rich narrative in an open world, offering players a mix of action, strategy, and exploration. Remember, while the game has gacha elements, Kuro Games has implemented systems to be more generous with rewards, especially for beginners, helping players to enjoy the game even without spending real money.
