### 1/5 — Still Alive

*2025-04-13, version 1.13.2*

Not too much you can do in this rbg way too many enemies & no one helps you too!

### 1/5 — Game unfair unbalanced

*2025-02-28, version 1.13.2*

Pay to win game not worth playing

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2025-02-08*

Besides all the multiplayer stuff and you just wanna focus on the main quest, I’m deeply confused. Is it just me or do you run in circles? You get to one location to the next to the next like why make such a cool game but there’s nothing to it. Who in the right mind wants to sit here for hours and watch your character run and run and run to every single region with no action. Sure you can fight random creatures, but there’s no fun in that. I would like to proceed in the main quest.

### 5/5 — Small player base

*2024-12-28, version 1.13.2*

Not many player play this game and is full of bots

### 5/5 — Can u

*2024-12-07, version 1.13.2*

Can somebody give it a lil update?

### 1/5 — Very expensive to play

*2024-07-12, version 1.12.4*

Great graphics but can’t even beat one dungeon boss at low level to get better gear.

### 1/5 — Netmarble is to mobile games what rice is to birds.

*2024-06-17*

Netmarble once again lowers the bar in any genre of any game they make. They ALWAYS take the laziest path. They made an open-world MMORPG, then refuse to implement proper controls like mouse/keyboard. As easy as Apple makes it to implement controls, they still refuse to put in the modicum of effort to make a passable game. Netmarble is like a game factory, constantly churning out junk games with no thought or care for the gamer behind it. They're just farming fools for money. If Netmarble went out of business, the gaming world would be a better place as a whole. Don't invest any money or time into Netmarble, they'll just use it to hire more drones and mass produce more junk games. Stop. Enabling. Them. For your own sakes.

### 5/5 — ok

*2024-05-30, version 1.11.4*

goood

### 1/5 — Meh

*2024-04-21, version 1.11.4*

The mechanics of combat are fine but the overall is not good at all, too many different things to increase cp and a free lvl 200 char with gear that isn’t enough to even continue the awakening quests with. Needs to be scaled backed

### 1/5 — Cash grab!! Money hungry Devs!! stay away

*2024-03-22, version 1.11.4*

This game is following all mobile wanna be ftp!! Too bad.. it will die off and whales will move on to better options . How about get creative and create something people want to log in for.. not the shop!!!
