Critics are not “trolls,” dev.
The dev took a fairly good idea, coded it to make it work, then did so many DUMB things after that and got called out on it time after time. But instead of listening, people were just called trolls.
Covering the issue of your game being… terribly boring, slow, lacking in any incremental factors, lacking in any idle factors, lacking in ANYTHING—covering all that with MORE micro transactions is sad.

Thanks a lot for your review. It's a pity you didn't like Corah. We launched Corah only 21 days ago. We're adding new content / features in a fast pace to improve Corah and make it to one of the greatest MMORPG / RPG games. Please feel free to share any further suggestions, we'll be glad to read them.
Incomplete And Misleading Features
Response from developer
Thanks a lot for your review. It's a pity you didn't like Corah. The captcha is there since a long time. It pops up once per 8h in average. It's just one click to close it. Takes 1 second in 8 hours of active play. You should know that we're working around the clock to improve Corah and make it to one of the greatest MMORPG / RPG games. Please feel free to share any further suggestions, we'll be glad to read them.
What a game 🥰
I’ve been playing the game since it first launched in alpha stages and it’s done nothing but improve, the creator is very onboard with feedback and the discord is full of heaps of information opinions and fun times
Would 10/10 reccomend this to any of my friends and anyone that enjoys a good mobile game that you can afk when your busy or play when your at home on the couch ❤️🥳

Thanks a lot for your review ❤ It's great to read that you like Corah. We are very new and are developing very fast. The goal is to get one of the great MMORPG / RPG out there :)
Ehhh..
It’s truly not idle, you need to keep your phone open for 10+ hours a day to make any progress. The dev is constantly pushing balancing updates that’s makes things worse. Making changes on the fly without a proper test.
The core game loop is boring, you essentially grind for hours on hours clicking one button. When upgrading equipment get ready to be constantly failing. There is also a strong pay to progress mechanic. I can see the game dying pretty soon, as
Players are quitting in droves.

That.. Franky.. that is also a possible way of seeing things :D Thanks anyway for trying Corah, FrankyFrank!
Very well done. Not exactly for me but might keep me playing
I think this is sort of unavoidable and it does benefit the game well, but it’s boring.
Still, very well thought out game.

Thank you so much your review ❤ It's amazing to read that you like the game even if the whole concept doesn't fit to you very well. Please stay tuned, we are just at the very beginning. The development of new features happens very fast, perhaps the game is in a few months in a different shape which pleases you more.
Credit Card Simulator
The in app purchases go all the way up to $100+ and there is a $6 per month subscription option in a phone game that’s primarily PvE and where all you do is watch numbers on your screen pop up.
There isn’t really any game to actually play. You just press a start button and watch numbers happen for 50 seconds until you have to press the start button again.
The high level players are all mega whales that have been duped into thinking this game is actually gonna have a decent lifespan.
It doesn’t help that the dev acts like a child and treats people like crap on his social media anytime someone critiques the game.
Don’t be fooled by this money laundering scheme of a “game” and instead go play something that actually respects your time and hard-earned money.

Thanks a lot for your review. Really thankful that you took your time to write your thoughts. It's great to see how different the players can see our game. Yes, you are absoluteley right. Corah has no actual 'gameplay'. Our goal is to live up the oldschool PC MMORPG feeling on a mobile device. Main aspects like socializing and grinding (online or offline) can't be done that well with an actual 'gameplay' on a mobile device, we think. This is why we converted the actual gameplay to manage everything and improve while feeling the oldschool PC MMORPG atmosphere. A lot of our players feel this, this is the main goal of Corah :) The biggest part of the players are F2P players, they also are in the Top 10. As the game has no ads, we would appreciate some support as it's our only income source but it's up to the player of course.
Was expecting more
Response from developer
Thanks a lot for your review. It's a pity you didn't like Corah. We've launched the official release just recently. We're working around the clock to improve Corah and make it to a great MMORPG / RPG . Corah is F2P friendly, in the Top 10 of the rankings, there are several F2P players. Nevertheless, we appreciate that you took your time to write a detailed review. We definitely are going to see what we can adapt to improve Corah even more.
Good, needs pay changes
That being said, the pay aspects are confusing. They are charging $6 for a monthly subscription and include features in that bundle which should be free.
Then, the diamonds themselves are a bit egregious and definitely make this more p2w than the developer was intending.
I think he does a good job at listening to feedback in the discord channel but his effort to not make it p2w has directly done exactly that. The grind can be a little too slow and there should be more upgrade paths than a monthly sub.
The game has heart and I’m happy to play it, but it needs work on the pay aspects.
INB4 he says “I need to support myself financially,” there are many better pay avenues which have been mentioned in the discord, please take those to heart.

Thanks a lot for the review ❤ You are absolutely right, it's like you describe. There are not 10 thousands of monsters dying per second or 100s of items dropping per second. It's just oldschool, chill gaming :)
Different.
Response from developer
Thanks a lot for your review ❤ Sound, Crafting, Auction House, and a lot more will be added. We are applying updates frequently, in the upcoming weeks and months, all the things you mentioned (and more) will be there :)
