The gameplay is characterized as a basic, old-school MMO experience focused on spell casting, but it suffers from frequent interruptions due to advertisements in the paid version, leading to frustration among players. Overall, while some enjoy the nostalgic elements, the lack of updates and the presence of ads detract from the overall experience.
- “The gameplay and land maps were very old school MMO style, reminiscent of classic spell caster games.”
- “Like I said, I've liked everything I've played by Crescent Moon, but I definitely will not be spending any money on any of them again. A paid version here that they can't be bothered to fix and, unless I want to pay for the game a second time, a working version for the Google Play Store that has gameplay constantly interrupted by advertisements.”
- “Very basic spell caster, old-style MMO game without the massive multiplayer online aspect. Just the gameplay and land maps were very old school MMO style.”
