An engaging tower defense combined with incredible novels, of which new ones release every few months. The lore of Arknights's world is breathtaking and an inspiration, the characters are wonderfully complex, and the OST is full of bangers. It's just such an incredibly pity that all of this good -- all of this greatness, even -- is stuck inside a gacha game that wants to suck out all of your time and your money.

Spend any large amount of time in this game and you'll feel the rot flow through you like you've also contracted the rock cancer. This is not a recommendation. I can't recommend any gacha game in good faith. If you ever find yourself Berenstein Bear'd into a grand reality where Arknights is a timeless singleplayer joint tower defense-visual novel game franchise, please play it then.
