  • story
    196 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is generally perceived as lacking depth and engagement, with many quests being repetitive and formulaic, primarily revolving around fetch and kill tasks. While some players appreciate the lore and narrative elements present in certain quests, the overall consensus is that the questing experience becomes grindy and tedious, especially after reaching higher levels where quests become scarce. Additionally, the presence of PvP zones complicates quest completion, leading to frustration among players who prefer a more narrative-driven experience.

    • “The storyline absolutely sucks.”
    • “I've tried to read the quests and they make no sense... there is no art to the game basically... just a bunch of grunt work hunter-gatherer quests.”

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the colorful and fluid visuals reminiscent of old-school MMORPGs, while others criticize them as bland or outdated.

    • “Pretty drab aesthetics and clunky everything.”
    • “Low-end annoying graphics, not impressive, boring, and difficult to look at; it's some sort of fake weird angle 3D that really bothers my eyes and makes the side of my brain hurt for some reason.”
    • “The initial graphics settings are okay, but even with everything cranked as high as it'll go, there's very little change aside from adding shadows and foliage.”
  • grinding
    82 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is a significant point of contention among players, with many describing it as excessively time-consuming and repetitive, particularly after reaching higher levels. While some appreciate the rewards for grinding and the nostalgic feel of an old-school MMORPG, others find the lack of quests and the necessity to grind for experience and items frustrating, especially in a pay-to-win environment. Overall, the game caters to those who enjoy grinding, but it may deter players who prefer a more balanced approach to progression.

    • “Sometimes the quests just stop and grinding for XP is a pain.”
    • “I just wish it wasn't so grindy and with such frustrating movement and awful camera.”
    • “1) Not nearly enough quests; after you leave the newbie area, you will routinely find yourself grinding to finish a level and thus unlock new quests, which will not be enough, so you will be grinding again...”
  • gameplay
    58 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game is generally described as simplistic and enjoyable, with a nostalgic feel reminiscent of classic titles like Ragnarok Online, though it suffers from repetitiveness and a lack of innovation. While many players appreciate the cooperative elements and the balance between questing and grinding, some criticize the outdated mechanics and uninspired combat. Overall, it appeals to casual gamers but may not satisfy those seeking depth or originality in gameplay.

Overall, the soundtrack is generally seen as a strong point, contributing positively to the game's aesthetic.

    • “Graphics are average and sound effects suck so bad plus the same repetitive music drives you insane.”
    • “Although I entered a dungeon of some sort, which had the same song as in kb :)”
  • monetization
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization system in the game is heavily criticized for being overly expensive and reliant on microtransactions, even at low levels, leading many to feel it resembles a cash grab. Players express frustration with constant advertising for premium accounts and the necessity to spend money on inventory space and other features, which detracts from the overall experience. While the game has enjoyable elements, the aggressive monetization model and pay-to-win aspects significantly undermine its appeal.

    • “It's a pretty decent RPG, good graphics, fair microtransactions, and a simple skill system.”
    • “Microtransactions aside, the game is good and can be a whole bunch of fun; the graphics are good and the combat system reminds me of Tales of Pirates / Ragnarok.”
    • “Microtransactions are worth overlooking early on, I guess, but things like being able to use real money to avoid breaking items while upgrading them does seem to push the game into a very pay-to-win side of the issue.”
    • “The main issue is the monetization system; it's too expensive and too reliant on it even at low level.”
    • “Major flaw is the cash grabby free-to-play model, which starts wanting you to spend money after the first hour. I can't complete quests because of not enough inventory space... buy more slots... one at a time.”
    • “I actually think that there are more microtransactions in this game than in most mobile games.”
  • stability
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “There are glitches in some spots, and holes that aren't game-breaking.”
    • “It is still in open beta, so it can be buggy (but not often in my experience).”
  • character development
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game is criticized for its lack of diversity, with many players noting that character designs are largely uniform, featuring similar weapons and clothing. While the character designs are described as visually appealing, the absence of customization options, particularly for female characters, detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, the generic nature of monster designs further contributes to a sense of monotony in character development.

    • “The character designs are pretty good, offering a unique touch to the overall experience.”
    • “The variety in character design choices allows for personalization, enhancing the player's connection to their character.”
    • “While some aspects of the game may feel generic, the character development stands out as a strong point.”
    • “All of the character designs are pretty much the same; everyone has the same weapons, the same clothes, etc. The good thing is that plenty of people play it, so if you need help with a dungeon, there is a pretty big chance that someone else is looking for a party too.”
    • “All these character design choices to personalize your character, and not even a second outfit option for women who may want to play this game and not perpetuate the disgusting trend that all female gear needs to consist of practically nothing.”
    • “I suggest if you are into boring and unimaginative character design.”

  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers a unique and stimulating atmosphere that sets it apart from other MMO RPGs, largely attributed to its progressive and diverse music. Despite the typical grinding associated with the genre, the fun and kid-friendly environment allows players to become fully immersed, often losing track of time while playing.
