    97 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story, rooted in Arthurian legends, is generally well-received for its engaging narrative and cinematic presentation, with many players appreciating the voice acting and visuals. However, some critiques highlight issues with character development and pacing, leading to a confusing experience at times. While the story captivates many, the game's progression mechanics and reliance on grinding can detract from the overall enjoyment.

    • “Repetitive battles, shallow characters, and a confusing story make it a real chore to play.”
    • “A particularly severe design flaw has been identified in the main story mode, specifically at stage 10-7 against Crom Cruach.

    • “The reason I can't recommend this game are the awful dialogues, the aforementioned pay-to-progress, and the aggressive ads which spawn in your face after completing a mission.”

  • gameplay
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay in this gacha game is characterized by decent combat mechanics and a variety of content, including dungeons, PvP, and character building. However, players frequently note the overwhelming presence of pop-up ads and pay-to-win elements that disrupt the experience, leading to a repetitive grind. While the game offers engaging strategic depth and a rich story, the reliance on gacha mechanics and constant monetization can detract from the overall enjoyment.

  • monetization
    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the frequent and intrusive microtransaction pop-ups and ads that disrupt gameplay. While some users find the microtransactions manageable and not essential for enjoying the game, others view them as a cash grab that detracts from the overall experience. Overall, the game offers a user-friendly approach to monetization, allowing dedicated players to progress without significant spending, but the aggressive ad presence remains a point of contention.

    • “Although the game might seem to have a lot of microtransactions, it is actually very user-friendly, and with enough time investment, you can enjoy all the content without spending much money.”
    • “The game was fun for a while, but it soon became apparent that it was simply a cash grab from Netmarble.”
    • “The frequent pop-ups and ads are constantly in the way, making it difficult to immerse in the story.”
    • “The reason I can't recommend this game are the awful dialogues, the aforementioned pay-to-progress, and the aggressive ads which spawn in your face after completing a mission.”
  • grinding
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews highlight that the game features extensive grinding mechanics, with players often feeling overwhelmed by the repetitive nature of leveling up characters and acquiring gear. While there are numerous activities to engage in, such as dungeons and quests, many users express frustration over the game's reliance on grinding, particularly for free-to-play players, and the presence of monetization prompts that encourage spending to expedite progress. Overall, while the game offers a rich experience, the grinding aspect can detract from enjoyment, making it feel tedious and overly reliant on in-game purchases.

    • “Surprisingly large game, full of different features like dungeons, main quests, PvP, PvE, gacha mechanics, building, and grinding characters. It would be nice to adapt the UI for PCs, but otherwise a good game.”

    • “The final mission in the story requires a lot of grinding if you are going to play without spending money.”
