    59 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is heavily criticized, with many players noting that it requires excessive time investment, often likening it to a "second life" of farming.

    54 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Many users note that the game can be addictive but also frustrating due to grinding and the presence of bots, which detracts from the overall experience. Overall, while some appreciate the mechanics and community, others feel the gameplay is outdated and lacks meaningful content.

    • “The gameplay is really enjoyable; it is really hard to level up, but you can remain whatever level you want, because level is not something crucial in this game, as long as you have really good equipment.”
    • “It got a simple gameplay and is really beginner-friendly compared to other games in this genre.”
    • “Yes, because this game in gameplay performance is great: quests, monsters, dungeons, simplicity, and many other cool things...”

    • “Only the name of this game and the soundtrack in the first location 'Enter the East' fill my heart with warmth.”
