I haven't played the previous one

Hoo! It's wonderful to be interested in a new world. I'd recommend starting with 'Worlds Beyond,' which features new elements like Super Evolution and new classes, as it's becoming the mainstream. Go forth and achieve a glorious victory with your strategy, hoo!

The previous game was absolutely chaotic. I'd get hit with a lethal without even knowing what was going on! This one is also gradually becoming more and more chaotic! If I had to say which one was better, I think I preferred BEYOND, as it wasn't quite as wild yet!
