I don't know what enfield is doing wrong. Its a good game. But arknights is doing way better, maybe the market just isn't there for the 3d version, even with great graphics and weighty animations, much nicer stat systems than other gatchas, decent character and weapon banner.
And id say the story and boss fights are pretty solid.
Also before people say mobile sales, wuwa and zzz are way worse optimised on mobile and pc. I had no issues playing enfield on mobile.
Edit combat isn't great though but its no worse than NTE.
I can't speak to the story because I stopped playing earlier on but I can speak to some of the other stuff from having played it and fallen off.
The combat is definitively a step down from other active combat gachas like ZZZ, old-ass Genshin, and especially WuWa.
With respect to the NTE comparison, one big edge that NTE has is that the lifestyle sim aspect makes daily login feel like you're having much more meaningful day to day progression with the Fons system. From the Endfield side, the factory is set and forget, and also doesn't feel like it actually has the same day to day impact on your gameplay as saving towards a new car or new house or new skin for the character you like does.
And the NTE gacha is THE best in the space bar none with a good pull income and no 50/50 because they're monetizing the game around skins and such instead. As a complete F2P, I have been able to pull for 5 limited chars and have only skipped 2 limited chars and already have enough pulls to get both Akane and Blackbird next version (AND got the Porsche to boot which cost a lot of pulls+Fons... which greatly improved my experience by making the Uber minigame a super easy way to hit my weekly city stam cap on something enjoyable).
The combat is absolutely chopped though, no disagreement there, but the non-combat aspect of the game is more appealing than Endfield, especially in terms of day to day logins. And unironically and without cope, the positive of the combat being chopped is that I can just pull for all the chars I like rather than costmaxxing and getting weapons and eidolons which also means getting more characters to play with.
(Also even if the Endfield gacha system isn't bad, it definitely FEELS unsatisfying, which matters more than statistics on outcomes do)

nte consistent, endfield also consistent in a not so good way
