Step into Esperia, a fantasy world full of magic—a lone seed of life meandering among the sea of stars. And on Esperia, it took root. As the river of time flowed, the once all-powerful gods fell. As the seed grew, each branch sprouted leaves, which became the races of Esperia.
You will play as the legendary mage Merlin and experience strategically tactical battles. It's time to dive into an unexplored world and embark on a journey to unlock a hidden mystery together with the heroes of Esperia.
ANYWHERE YOU GO, MAGIC FOLLOWS.
Remember, only you can guide heroes to pull the sword from the stone and learn the truth about the world.

• Form bonds with the heroes of the Six Factions on your journey. You are Merlin. Be their guide and help them become who they were meant to be.

Conquer Each Challenge with Precision

Choose between a bold strategy centered around a powerful main damage dealer or a more balanced team.

Game, which has had substantial translation errors persistent throughout every season so far on top of other seemingly unfixable errors and hiccups, continues to swing towards pay to win (more pay to play) models. They added a direct gacha, expensive AND poorly balanced, for fashion items this season, something which isn’t even a direct part of the game and of which they have not offered a free try to even walk people through the steps of how to play the thing. They have changed how one buys currency for the game and what one needs that currency for - changing how money could be used to directly purchase something instead of buying the currency first.
This game was borderline fun, but now it’s impossible to compete as a f2p player who was able to score high regardless. It’s harder to get the currencies with which to level characters, as it’s already in limited supply. It’s harder to get to the rewards and maintain them. It feels like being pushed out and being punished for playing by their rules (having to play for hours to get each mode cleared when you’re promoting you can leave the game alone for “maximum rewards” is scummy business).
