- “This game has great graphics and amazing replay value.”
- “It needs more playable characters than just two.”
- “10/10 would not recommend playing. The game lags like crazy whether you're online or offline. I have 65 Mbps as it shows in my game, and there's a banner on the top of your screen that covers your HP, mana, level, boosts, and whatever else is supposed to be behind it. You can't see it, so you're fighting a boss without knowing how close you are to death until your screen beeps red signaling you're low on HP. To make it worse, auto battle keeps turning off and on, so sometimes your character wouldn't even fight and just gets pummeled to death. Don't install this waste of your time game. Just don't spend a single dime if you do because this game is honestly trashing itself from the get-go. I thought it would be better than (another game), but even that game didn't lag or have any of the issues like this one, and it's more playable than this with no weird thing cutting half your screen from being visible. 10/10 would not recommend to my friends or anyone.”
