droidgamers.com:

The Blue Archive anniversary is here. The gacha RPG celebrates the two-year of its English version this month, and the Part 1 Final Episode is nearly upon us. A tear-jerking promotional video is live. It’s happening.

If you head over to the event site, there’s a cute little puzzle game where you match up images and dialogue from game scenes. If you’re right, you’ll get an Event Coupon for your trouble.

That’s not all though. Interaction with the colorful cast of characters is a major part of the game, and the choices you make in how you treat them may
