Not Lineage II 😞
A classic game like Lineage II deserves far more than a cheap Legacy of Discord clone with the Lineage II sticker slapped on it.
The classes are nothing like the PC game, only a fraction of character options are here, races are gender-locked, skill and combat system is 100% that of LoC and 0% that of Lineage II.
Armor and weapon grades are vastly different here and your level has no effect to what grade you can use. Enchantment, crafting, dyes, quest system, and pretty much everything that makes Lineage II the iconic MMORPG it is are missing from this poor attempt at bringing it to mobile platforms.
And despite how far mobile hardware has come, playable areas are still tiny and fragmented into “regions”.
And the quest system is a joke. Just tap the notification, accept the quest, ignore the story and let the AI auto-quest do everything for you.
Seriously? What’s the point playing, then? 😂
The game is admittedly fun (minus the auto-quest), but calling it Lineage II is borderline insulting.
Also, to those who call Lineage II a WoW clone: you do realise Lineage was released years before WoW, right? Even Lineage II was released a few years before WoW. So please.

Good game, but pay to win. (Game reviewer)
One of the greatest games I've played with the best graphics, but there's one huge problem where you won't get far quick if you don't pay up. If you decide to not pay expect to progress slowly because the main quests need a certain level criteria and after you've expended your daily quests etc the only way to progress is to leave your phone/iPad on auto kill for hours and even then you'll be lucky to get a full level out of it.
The gameplay itself is great despite the auto mechanics you can turn that off if you desire though. Pvp is quite fun as well. The guild system is great and there's lots of different monsters to kill with a vast range to add to your codex.
This game leaves me wondering how it could be great if it was just advertised at a one off price with no pay to win option.

Never ending rewards
You know that MMO that wants you to like it so bad that it just gives you never ending rewards? This is that game, but on steroids. 40 minutes in, I have so many boosts to my equipment that I am 1 shotting everything with LITERALLY zero opposition. The first boss? 1 shot it.
The game game also is able to accept quests, progress through them, move back to the finishing NPC and complete it with the press of 2 buttons. So it’s basically a cutscene if you want it to be. Since it uses all available skills with perfect timing, it’s the optimal way to play.
The graphics are surprisingly good and the animations look great. I’m sure the game would be good if you needed to play it at all. As a first impression, this is hardly a game in any sense.

Beautifully Dull.
First off, this game is stunning visually. However, that is about the best I can say about it. It suffers from what I have come to call “free game drop off”. The game is designed to seem easy up front but, once you get to a certain point, the difficulty shoots through the roof as a ploy to get you to spend real world money. The game’s complexity seems linked to the process of “micro-transactions” aiming to pull more real world funds. The complexity can just get silly. There are some 8-10 different systems to improve everything, each requiring some rare in game resource. In the end the complexity, which could be cool, just feels like a sucker punch for cash and it adds little to the game. Additionally, the complexity takes away from the game’s flow. Personally, I would rather pay some money up front and have a reduced number micro-transactions.
After one day, I had about three hours of fun... Then it just got dull. The auto-questing “feature” almost seems to add to the robotically dull nature of the game play. I won’t even get into the “soul shot” BS. There is a high note though beyond the game’s beauty, it bodes well for what is possible in a mobile game. If someone can put one together that does not feel like a vampire trying to latch onto your wallet, they will really have something.

Don’t play this game if you are poor
No I’m not joking, if you want to play this game properly but not willing to spend $1,000 a month minimum then just save your time. This game is something you can never get par with heavy spender no matter how much time you invest into. Pretty much all those rankers in Korea have spent more than $100,000 on average. So if you have no money, please just save your time and battery.

Not your World of Warcraft clone…
So the best way to describe this game is probably like in MMO Diablo III. Except for without the option of having a mouse and keyboard, you are left with more of a bystander looking over a character that is questing. But things get a little bit more complicated late in the game. More freedom to go places and do things, but the reality is is that this game has a lot of things Thought out when it comes to having the limitations of the phone. Gear is auto selected in terms of power. If you need certain effects on your gear, you can go in and change it but if you want the most amount of DPS for any enemy… You just hit the auto button. A huge timesaver! The progression feels a lot like World of Warcraft and I’m just starting to get into the late game, but so far it has been very fun! Micro transactions are not annoying, day one server issues nonexistent, runs on maximum settings on iPhone eight without any problem, And honestly… This is probably the best looking game you’re ever going to see on iOS for the next couple of years

Yay finally
Good game
Runs Poorly... Total Slideshow
The game runs so poorly on my iPhone 6 Plus that I cannot play.
Disappointing.
Disappointing.
Unplayable on iPhone 6 Plus
Tried to make through the tutorial, however it suffers from a lot of video lag. It makes it unplayable. Tried skipping the tutorial, went to load, and crashed.
2 stars, because it looks like it could be interesting, and graphics were good. Just not able to play on this device.
