Gameplay reviews indicate significant issues, with many core mechanics reportedly missing or bugged for years. Players have experienced a lack of guidance, as evidenced by reaching a high level before encountering beginner zones, and some noted similarities to other games like Atlantica Online. Overall, the gameplay has been described as underwhelming, with nostalgia failing to sustain interest beyond a short duration.
“During my gameplay, I found some elements similar to Atlantica Online.”
“I'm surprised no pop-up asking me to buy an inventory expansion item appeared during my gameplay.”
“They copy-paste: it's a bug we're aware of and we're working on it, but see for yourself, many core mechanics and system features have completely vanished for many, many years...”
“By the time I found the beginner's zone during my gameplay, my character was already level 15.”
“Nostalgia could barely get me through about 20-30 minutes of actual gameplay time before I decided to just move on.”
