Update: From Awesome to Awesome-er!
I instantly fell in love with this game's traditional RPG gameplay and storytelling; which features just the right amounts of challenging content, multi-player functionality, and creative character development (incl. a wide variety of weapons, armor, and accessories supported by a detailed but not too complex upgrade system).
This game has absolutely everything you could love and more: Hours of story mode gameplay, hours of post-story mode gameplay, weekly challenges, limited time dungeons, multi-player raids, regular updates featuring new content, an amazing in-game reward system and the list goes on and on and on ...
ADDED BONUS: It's not riddled with trashy ads and doesn't attempt to force the gamer to fork over hundreds of dollars in order to advance the story, develop the characters, and enjoy the game. Honestly, it's the lack of emphasis on purchasing expensive in-game currency that makes me so comfortable with dropping a little cash to support the development team when they so very clearly put the gamer experience first.

Beautiful
The good: This game is beautiful and less annoying than most FTP. There's a $3 monthly card which is cheaper than most. It's fun without spending a dime, too.
The bad: It's actually a really high quality RPG. I'm a little sad it wasn't just released as a premium game.
The ugly: Some of the skills are written a bit Engrishy, occasionally to the point of blurring understanding. You occasionally are asked if you are SURE you want to do permanent things without the implications of that being clear. I'm looking forward to someone who figured it all out writing a guide.

Decent until something goes wrong
Looks nice. Dragons crown style art. Similar to a lot of recent games in terms of play.
I hit a bug at level 10 and have gotten no help to resolve it. They sent on email saying essentially " have you tried turning it off and then on again?" Beyond that there has been no communication despite several attempts. I've tried every thing I could think of including reinstalls, alternate devices, and even waiting through several patches. No correction. No communication. No recovery. No recourse.
I'm really glad I didn't give them any money. Be extremely careful if you decide to play. Personally I recommend playing one of several others of this genre.

Seriously average
Not to bad a game but the rewards could be better. Hard work doesn't really pay off, it can feel quite empty sometimes.
Really good game.
This is a good game I'd actually give it four and a half stars and it would've got five if there was an explanation of what to do with the combine scrolls option and the fact that upgrades on equipable items didn't fail so much at the higher levels! They're just minor quibbles tho and I'd recommend this to anyone who likes rpg's.

Good game
Nice graphics, ok gameplay but a bit grindy
One of the few I actually spent $ on.
The makers did a great job!
First off it is one of the few free to plays that isn't full of ads and pay to win. That in itself actually made me willing to give them a few bucks.
Secondly, the different strategic styles you can come up with makes the game enjoyable for causal and hardcore gamers.
The synergies between different skills really make for some crazy combos. Love it!
Give it a try!

Great Old School Feel.
I can count how many reviews I have written on one hand but I felt compelled to give credit to Gamevil for creating this gem. I'm hesitant to spend loads of money on mobile games as I spend a lot of time playing games on my PC, but it is possible to thoroughly enjoy this game without dropping loads of money.
Initially, you will find yourself swimming in gems. This eventually tapers off as does the gear upgrading. If you are a fan of MMos, the gear grind in Chromatic Souls is similar. Running raids or special events to get certain drops for certain tunes. It is done well and keeps you engaged.
The game is surprisingly deep when you factor in upgrading your skills/spells and your equipment. There are numerous special currencies that you will seek to continue your quest to become more powerful. I strongly recommend this game to fans of old school RPGs, a la Wizardry, D&D Gold Box Series and the like.

Great game
Great game play it all the time
Addictive! In the best way
I played for more than 8 hours the day I downloaded it. I simply couldn't stop. So good. Best fun I've had fighting since Infinity Blade.
And I'm not even a fan of games with this much fighting. The difficulty rises so fast that it is exciting but the gear rises fast as well, making me think I'm in God mode the whole time but really the battles are still a challenge. And I'm only on level 3. The premium currency is very easy to obtain. Very.
Try this no matter what you feel about this genre of game. I bet you'll be hooked too.
