grinding

The game is widely regarded as very grindy, particularly in terms of gathering skills and leveling up, which can lead to a tedious experience for some players. While many appreciate the nostalgic feel and find enjoyment in the grinding process, others express frustration with the slow progression and the potential pay-to-win elements, such as the need for pets to ease the grind. Overall, the grinding aspect is a defining feature that may appeal to fans of traditional MMORPGs but could deter those seeking a more streamlined experience.
- “Some of the later mobs get interesting, but for the first 50 hours, you're killing bees, chickens, and wolves, and it's just a little tedious. I've done that in games for the last 25 years, you know.”
- “Grinding is just too slow; it's pay-to-win unless you want to tediously pick up stuff and walk everywhere.”
- “Ok, changed my mind... grinding with no end or really accomplishing anything... just more grinding.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engaging narrative, with many players noting the absence of a coherent storyline and repetitive quest structures. While some quests are described as humorous or enjoyable, the overall experience is marred by grind-heavy gameplay, bugs, and a pay-to-win model that detracts from the enjoyment. Players express a desire for more substantial story content and quest variety to enhance the gameplay experience.
- “New story, new quests.”
- “The quest dialogue is humorous.”
- “Recently updated with additional quests and tasks, periodic events keep it interesting.”
- “No quest or story line.”
- “It's just garbage, there's no story quest, etc. You pretty much just do whatever you want whenever you want to, and yes, the players are gonna lie and deny this, but it's definitely a pay-to-play game. A pet, which is used for nothing but auto looting, aka picking up drops from kills, is cheapest at $15, and you heard right, he only does auto looting. Things called shards needed for upgrades? Good luck getting them without spending money. I have sat in a spot farming for hours upon hours and only gotten 1.”
- “It is a repetitive game with the same quests over and over.”

The gameplay is generally described as fun and user-friendly, with simple mechanics that appeal to fans of MMORPGs, particularly those who enjoy a more casual, afk-friendly experience. However, players have noted issues such as server disconnections, limited content, and a lack of depth in gameplay mechanics, which can make leveling feel tedious. While the community is praised for being friendly and supportive, many reviewers express a desire for more diverse classes, skills, and improved functionality in gameplay elements.
- “Gameplay is fun, the interface is nice and user friendly.”
- “The gameplay is good with new stuff being added such as skulling for PvP as well as new weapons such as staff and bow being added.”
- “Amazing addicting game if you're a fan of RS you'll love this game, the gameplay was especially built for AFK style play with a lot less hassle of checking your phone every second like on RS.”
- “The only quarrel I have is that at times it will disconnect you from the server, making you wait 10 seconds before you can resume gameplay.”
- “The devs change the mechanics of builds, ruining them, and don't let you redistribute points to compensate for it.”
- “If you're looking for fair gameplay, I don't recommend this game; it's pay-to-win. Imagine grinding to level 50 and you get killed by a level 15 that bought something using real money. It sucks.”

The monetization of the game is a mixed bag, with many users appreciating the absence of ads and the lack of pay-to-win mechanics, making it feel genuinely free-to-play. However, there are significant criticisms regarding high membership fees and invasive in-app purchases that some players perceive as cash grabs, leading to frustration over the game's monetization strategy. Overall, while the game offers enjoyable gameplay without mandatory payments, the monetization approach has left some players feeling exploited.
- “It's a great little game reminiscent of a number of old MMORPGs, has no ads and isn't pay-to-win, which I like a lot.”
- “Very free to play, no ads, a lot to do.”
- “There are in-game purchases but none are game-breaking like other pay-to-win games.”
- “Just my opinion, but I don't like the slow XP rates. Point and click navigation is horrible at best, and the membership fees are laughable. Even RuneScape didn't start off that high. You can get PS Plus or PS Now for cheaper a month. It just seems like a cash grab. I understand you may be adding more content with the fees, but guys, use your own capital or investors instead of charging so much for fees and purchases from customers.”
- “Game is a RuneScape-style grinder, with a massive pay-to-win option. As you play, it's a massive cash grab. For a membership at max level, you could play WoW and have a cheap streaming service, coming in at around $25. Otherwise, they bottleneck you with one quest at a time and limit your crafting potential.”
- “Edit my past review: I've played it for two years, and the game has gone down the drain of usual mobile MMOs, with predatory monetization and no support for free-to-play players.”

While some players appreciate the charm of its imperfections, many express frustration over persistent glitches and the need for improvements, especially given the game's year-long presence in the market. Overall, the game runs well on certain devices, but the stability issues detract from the overall experience.
- “This game is very optimized; it looks great, runs great, and with a small dev team, the amount of work they accomplish is amazing. This game is better than RuneScape in a lot of aspects.”
- “Runs great on my Revvl 5G.”
- “Takes about another 3 minutes to finally get back to my home screen after it freezes.”
- “Also, the traveling method is extremely buggy and unreliable.”
- “Very buggy game; great try, loved the beginning, but it crashes a lot. If they'd fix these issues, I would definitely play the game.”

- “Gameplay is ok but the music is boring.”
- “Fighting and listening to that music made it even worse.”
