  • grinding131 mentions

    The grinding aspect of the game is a significant point of contention among players, with many describing it as excessively tedious and repetitive, especially at higher levels where experience gains slow down and resource management becomes cumbersome due to limited inventory space. While some players appreciate the grind as a core part of the MMORPG experience, finding it rewarding and engaging, others express frustration over the lack of variety and direction, suggesting that improvements to crafting, looting, and overall gameplay mechanics could enhance the experience. Overall, the game is seen as enjoyable for those who embrace grinding, but it may deter players who prefer a more dynamic and less time-consuming progression system.

    • “Not too grindy, as you can level up faster than in other online games.”
    • “Overall, a great game that is fun and isn't as grindy as similar games I've played before.”
    • “Took me a month of farming just to get the cheapest one.”
    • “The grinding experience is fun at first, where you level up easily and you get lots of rewards and unlock lots of stuff, until you reach around level 80, where each level requires more experience, but there aren't any enemies that give more experience.”
    • “The progression is unclear and unexplained, so at times it feels like you don't know what to strive for and end up painstakingly grinding the same monster over and over.”
  • story67 mentions

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and clarity, with many players expressing a desire for a more structured narrative and quest system. While some enjoy the simplicity and grind of the gameplay, they find the absence of a compelling storyline and quest markers frustrating, leading to repetitive tasks without meaningful progression. Overall, players are hopeful for future updates that could introduce a more engaging story and diverse quest options.

    • “I would like to see story quests that bring players to finish the whole content, including killing all bosses.”
    • “This game needs a world map so players can see where they're going, and needs a story to tell.”
    • “I hope the game developer can think of a way to create a mini story/mini adventure mode or even a proper story mode in this game.”
    • “I was happy enough with this game, being that it lacked a clear storyline or quest system.”
    • “No storyline to speak of, content is sparse; you spend most of your time killing pallet-changed mobs.”
    • “The quests don't exist (kill this that amount... kill this that amount...) I really don't recommend it.”
  • gameplay59 mentions

    Gameplay in this game is generally praised for its fast-paced and engaging mechanics, appealing graphics, and a variety of activities such as crafting and grinding. However, some players find the combat simplistic and repetitive, with a desire for more depth and features, such as zoom functionality and improved control options. While the game is considered enjoyable and not pay-to-win, issues like server stability and inconsistent login experiences have been noted as detractors from the overall gameplay experience.

    • “I enjoy the fast-paced gameplay and awesome graphics.”
    • “The overall gameplay itself is very fun, however it does seem that the login is a little bit inconsistent with whether or not you can get into the game.”
    • “Great game mechanics and good gameplay, a lot of stuff to explore and a lot of gear/collectables to attain.”
    • “There is a lot to do in the game when it comes to crafting and exploring, but the combat is pretty simplistic and the overall gameplay gets very repetitive.”
    • “At this point in the game, it's unplayable; servers are garbage, and if your internet is bad, so is your gameplay.”
    • “It's a really cool game, but after about a week of playing it, it's gotten so boring that I've fallen asleep mid-gameplay multiple times.”
  • graphics39 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received a generally positive reception, with many players appreciating the simple, retro art style that evokes nostalgia for classic console games.

However, a few players expressed concerns about technical issues affecting the graphics, such as visibility problems and occasional crashes.

    • “Game is bad because of the graphics; I can't play. I only see the UI, I don't see the sprites and the map. I played this game before; it was better than now. Give back the old graphics.”
  • monetization16 mentions

    The monetization model of the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating the absence of ads and in-game passes, which contributes to a player-friendly experience. While some microtransactions are present, they are primarily for cosmetics and can also be earned through gameplay, avoiding a pay-to-win scenario.

    • “The game is very player friendly, no ads, no in-game passes and a very rewarding game for grinding a lot.”

    • “The only microtransactions are for cosmetics, and these can also be obtained through gameplay.”
    • “However, the microtransactions in the game are so ridiculously overpriced that it leaves a sour taste in my mouth.”
    • “There is no reward system; grind all you want, but it's luck that will help you progress, or in-game purchases.”
    • “I do like it, but it has some problems like more grinding and even putting levels on simple stuff you have to grind through, like smithing, fishing, and crafting. Sometimes new players have to experience a lot of membership ads.”
  • stability9 mentions

    Overall, players report a mix of stability experiences with the game.

    • “The controls are easy to learn, and I encountered no glitches.”

    • “The game is good but unfortunately it has bugs and lags that caused me to lose stuff. I would also like to suggest fixing the chat, as it glitches sometimes. Other bugs include lag and glitches that made me lose some of my items. The network connection is bad as well; some servers work better than others, which is an issue too. Hopefully, they will fix this.”
    • “I would have given 5 stars, but recently I am facing some glitches and I can't get into the game for some reason.”
    • “I will rate 5 stars once you fix all the bugs. For example, when I try to log into my account, it freezes, and whenever I was playing the game, it crashes. So please, developers, fix the bugs. Overall, your game is relaxing and I love it so much; please fix the bugs, and then the game would be very beautiful.”
  • music9 mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for its immersive quality and calming nature, often compared to iconic tracks from other titles like Skyrim.

    • “It takes more than 3 seconds to select items in your inventory, and I believe that the theme song in the title screen is an awful lot like the song 'The Dragonborn Comes' from The Elder Scrolls IV: Skyrim.”
    • “The reason I rated 3 stars is because I just joined the game and when I join, the screen is black. I can just see player tags and icons for my health, inventory, etc., and the music is just playing in the background but it's calming, just like Minecraft.”
  • humor4 mentions

    The game is praised for its humor, with players finding interactions and character dialogues consistently hilarious. The lively community and engaging mods contribute to the comedic atmosphere, making the experience enjoyable and reminiscent of classic MMORPGs. Overall, the humor enhances the game's charm and player engagement.

    • “The game is adorable; talking to everyone is almost always hilarious. The mods visit players and even play the games themselves. The creatures are hard enough to be fun to kill yet easy enough to actually beat. The sprites are precious and cute. I'm kinda annoyed at my settings not sticking much, but it's still a great game! :D”
    • “The best MMORPG ever! Anyway, I gained 18 million by spending weeks farming grasshoppers. Hahaha, what a funny memory of mine.”

    • “I love the game and it runs smoothly on my device, but sometimes when I log in, it says 'unable to connect to this server.' I hope that when you play the game again after signing in and stop playing, you don't need to sign in again like the old version. It should say 'play' instead of 'sign in with Google.' Also, please add a 'sort' feature in the bank because I have a hard time finding the items I want. Keep up the good work, and I will be waiting for future updates!”
    • “A fun and addictive game, but it's not fully optimized yet.”
  • emotional1 mentions
