Illusion Connect: Re is a character-driven anime RPG from SUGARGAME NETWORK LIMITED that frames its story as a return: you go back to the world where your adventure began and reconnect with the Radiants who fought beside you. It combines real-time combat, character collection and relationship-building, so there is something for players who care about action as well as those who care about the cast.

Fights you can steer

Combat is described as dynamic, with strategy and timing at its centre. You direct heroes, shift formations mid-battle and combine their strengths against powerful enemies called Nightmares. Compared with fully automatic games, this gives you real decisions during a fight, such as when to change formation or use a special ability. If you enjoy active control, that is the part to try first.

A cast of more than 130

Teams are built from over 130 illustrated characters with Live2D animation, each with unique abilities, personality and battle role. With a roster that size, thinking in roles helps: protectors, damage dealers and those who heal or strengthen allies. A team covering all three is usually more reliable than one built around a single favourite.

Relationships with a purpose

Spending time with companions deepens bonds and unlocks new abilities. That gives collecting a narrative reason, because you are learning stories and gaining strength from the connection instead of only gathering names.

A place to rest

You can decorate a personal home with furniture and wallpaper, creating somewhere calm for your team. It is a cosmetic feature that contrasts with the battles and suits players who enjoy customising.

Voices and community

A large group of Japanese voice actors is part of the appeal for anime fans. The publisher lists the cast and points to official Discord and Facebook channels for news and updates.

Learning the ropes

Master formation shifting early, since it is the main way to adapt in tough fights. Pick a small core team and upgrade it consistently. Spend time on bond activities to unlock extra abilities. Read event details before using premium currency, and follow official channels for update and maintenance news.

Who will connect with it

Anime fans, collectors and players who prefer active combat with strategic choices. If you want a very short casual puzzle session, this is probably too much.

Spending and rights

Character-collection RPGs usually include random summons and optional purchases. Decide beforehand how much, if anything, you will spend, and use the purchase controls in Google Play. The name and characters belong to their publisher.
