The game's story is described as having a nostalgic charm with a rich narrative, but many players find it overshadowed by repetitive and tedious quest mechanics, such as fetch and kill tasks. While some appreciate the well-written texts and engaging atmosphere, others criticize the lack of captivating presentation and the overwhelming number of quests that can lead to frustration. Overall, the storyline has potential but is often lost in the grind of gameplay.
- “The retro 2D style hides a huge, living MMO world with endless PvP battles, dungeons, and story quests.”
- “Great graphics, music, sound, storyline, etc.”
- “Story is well written and you will get a full flavor of RPG game.”
- “The quests are literally 'go pick up 3 papers and 2 rocks', 'go talk to this guy', etc. I felt like I was playing an RPG from 25 years ago, but without all the nostalgia from something we know.”
- “Every aspect of the game is a mess; PvE is a massive mindless chore, quests are made up of kill or talk with rare kill-talk-kill-talk-talk, and leveling experience is the worst in the gaming industry altogether.”
- “Story is not presented in a captivating fashion, so 90% of the player base just loses focus on it.”

grinding

The reviews highlight that grinding is a significant and often tedious aspect of the game, requiring extensive time investment to progress, especially for free-to-play players. Many users express frustration with the grind's impact on enjoyment, noting that it can feel excessive and is compounded by a pay-to-win environment where spending money can provide substantial advantages. While some players find the grind rewarding and enjoyable, the overall sentiment suggests that it can be a barrier to fully experiencing the game, particularly for those without ample time or resources.
- “Grindy, pay-to-win, and plagued with bots and a toxic community.”
- “It is unfortunate that Steam does not give the 'mixed feelings' option, since this game certainly has a lot to offer but also suffers from extensive grinding in order to be actually good.”
- “Let me tell you this one thing, the developers do not care about free players; they don't even care about low-paying players like me. All servers are controlled by a small group of people in similar guilds, they control the economy like crazy. Everything in the game is grindy and overpriced just so that free players and low payers won't be able to grind. In fact, grinding is useless, with a limited number of times to go in dungeons with incredibly poor loot chances. Grinding for mobs is pointless as armors and weapons need constant repairs, and regular mobs don't even drop anything that is close to good.”
