Players find the grinding aspect of the game, particularly farming fidelity at altars, to be a significant focus, with some even humorously engaging in PvP encounters, such as killing the developer while they were afk. This unique interaction adds a layer of enjoyment to the grind, making it stand out compared to other grind-heavy games.
“Some players play the game and all they do is kneel at the altars farming fidelity.”
“Coming clean here, I killed the dev in-game once while he was AFK farming fidelity, and it was my funniest gaming experience all year.”
“Wish other grindy games had this!”

The reviews highlight a contrast in optimization between two games: "Brighter Shores" is praised for its high polish and optimization, despite lacking elements that fans appreciate in the original RuneScape and OSRS. In contrast, "Reconquer Online" lacks polish but captures the essence of what players love about the classic games, indicating a trade-off between optimization and adherence to beloved gameplay elements.
“Brighter Shores is a very highly polished, well-optimized game that enhances the overall experience.”
“The optimization in this game really stands out, making gameplay smooth and enjoyable.”
“The developers have done an excellent job in optimizing the game, ensuring that it runs efficiently on various systems.”
“Playing this and Brighter Shores back-to-back was interesting, given that Brighter Shores seems to neglect many aspects of what people love about original RuneScape and OSRS, yet it's a very highly polished, well-optimized game. In contrast, ReConquer Online has nothing resembling polish at all, yet the developer seems to understand what people really loved about RS/OSRS.”
“The optimization in this game is severely lacking, leading to frequent crashes and long loading times that ruin the overall experience.”
“Despite the interesting gameplay, the poor optimization makes it frustrating to play, as performance issues are a constant distraction.”
