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. ### 3/5 — Level 200 starting off? *2024-01-05, version 1.11.4* I’m level 200 starting off? What happened to being level 1? Also, the quests that I did, the enemies has hundreds of thousands of health. It confused me. A lot of running around confused me. Beautiful game though. ### 3/5 — Fun but Autoplay kills it *2023-10-14, version 1.10.14* I tried this game, but found it incredibly frustrating that it is set to autoplay immediately, that to me kills all the enjoyment I would have had, and also it’s set to auto-battle as well which is also ridiculous. Could’ve played this game a lot longer if there wasn’t that much autoplay settings. ### 1/5 — Need to fix bug *2023-06-28, version 1.10.14* I have just started playing this game and so far every few minutes it completely crashes and throws me out of the game. I am considering deleting this game all together if the problem is not fixed. ### 1/5 — Annoying red dots *2023-03-24, version 1.9.4* Too many red dots have to click, force you to pay for it. ### 3/5 — Almost good game *2023-01-27, version 1.9.4* Sometimes it gives me bad connection. When I have excellent connection on my internet. How can I bring brightness on this game. ### 1/5 — Always being disconnected *2023-01-22, version 1.9.4* As title ### 1/5 — NOT CHALLENGING, REPETITIVE, TOO EASY, BORING *2022-09-06, version 1.7.11* 90% OF GAMEPLAY-TIME CONSISTS IN A NEVER-ENDING SEQUENCE OF READING MISSION TEXTS, BORING TASKS (“FEED THE PIGS, COLLECT THE FLOWERS AND RETURN HERE FOR REWARD”), UPGRADE-MENUS, REWARDS MENUS. THE REMAINING 10% OF GAMEPLAY-TIME CONSISTS IN TOO EASY COMBAT IMPOSSIBLE TO LOSE EVEN RANDOMLY PUSHING BUTTONS. AUTO-COMBAT, AUTO-PATH, AUTO-QUESTING, IT’S NOT A GAME WHEN INSTEAD OF PLAYING YOU WATCH IT PLAY ITSELF… ### 1/5 — Blurry, uncrisp fonts and UI on iPad Pro *2022-08-21, version 1.7.11* Despite setting resolution and quality to maximum, the text and icons are not great. Hard on the eyes. Need to increase the texture / sprite / font atlas resolutions or something. ### 1/5 — Pornographic *2022-08-18, version 1.7.11* Another game depicting women as sluts. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — I think Genshin is more new player friendly *2022-07-26, version 1.7.6* Be careful with your pick. This game isn’t new player friendly. I thought Genshin impact wasn’t new player friendly. But at least, you can co op in Genshin and people are willing to help you. This game? One word. Garbage. And hopefully, this game can be removed from AppStore soon. Nothing last forever. I’m sitting here and waiting for the developer to shut down this game. I will be laughing lol. F2P? I don’t think so. Never will recommend this game in my life time. ### 1/5 — Cheats *2022-07-17, version 1.7.6* They let too many players cheat, bot, macro. Sent numerous tickets with video evidence . Get the same robot response every time with no actions taken. For example Keto from server 3 runs a rez macro every night and uses 3rd party auto click programs to win wish altar every week. All the developers care about is their ore now. I wouldn’t recommend this game to my worse enemy. Matter fact I wish they would refund me every penny I put into this game. ### 4/5 — needs controller support asap *2022-03-17, version 1.5.18* please ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 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!!! ### 1/5 — Another one of these *2024-03-19, version 1.11.4* Just another infernal auto-navigate, auto-fight, auto-everything game. No one wants to play a game that just plays itself. If I could give it zero stars I would, uninstalled this game within seconds of starting it and I still feel like I wasted my time ### 1/5 — Full of Hackers *2023-09-14, version 1.10.14* This use to be a very good game.. Now all skill hack, speed hack, etc.. All from one guild Murders.. Don’t waste your time on this game or any Netmarble game.. You can submit video or any proof of hacking but nothing will be done ### 1/5 — Great potential but hackers have ruined it *2023-09-14* Been playing this game for over 2 years. Great game and potential but NM has abandoned the current players and have let rampant cheating via PC client hacks go on for the last 4-5 months with no response. This gets a zero star review and I would not recommend anyone who enjoys fair competition to play until the hacks are properly prevented. Dozens of tickets and forum posts showing the cheats and the specific hackers have been made yet this developer seems more interested in their crypto pyramid ponzee scheming than stopping obvious hacks and cheating. ### 1/5 — Genderlocked Classes- Why? *2023-09-02, version 1.10.14* The graphics look beautiful, and combat looks both smooth and vicious at the same time. But why, oh why, are we dead set on “boys go melee” and “girls fight from a safe distance”? My paladins are always women, and my wizards are always men, and since I can’t have either of them, I have to pass on what was likely an amazing game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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? ### 5/5 — ok *2024-05-30, version 1.11.4* goood ### 5/5 — Awesome!!! *2023-06-19* Beautiful graphics and nice variety of skills. Lots of different regions and monsters. Good leveling mechanics. Let’s you skip to a high level so you can catch up to a friend or play competitively. You can just run by enemies if you are in a hurry. Auto battle let’s your character fight for you. Overall really cool! ### 5/5 — Good *2022-11-27, version 1.8.5* Fun ### 5/5 — I cant purchase an item *2022-04-09, version 1.5.23* Error seems to be in a game. ### 5/5 — 해외계정 한글지원 *2022-03-20, version 1.5.18* 호주 거주 중입니다. 사정상 앱스토어 계정을 호주 국적으로 사용중입니다. 호주 앱스토어에서 다운받은 a3는 언어 설정에 한글 지원은 없네요 ### 5/5 — good *2022-03-04, version 1.5.14* nice game ### 5/5 — Bom *2022-03-04, version 1.5.14* Top ### 5/5 — Fun grinding MMORPG with BR *2022-01-28, version 1.4.5* Reminds me very much of Lost Ark and I’ve been enjoying the game so far. Combat is fun, plenty of different modes to keep you busy and PvP is a blast. Battle Royale is also fun and ties into the main game. Still alive mode: Just be in a equipment dungeon and next to mobs with auto on then close the app. Anyone dealing with crashes: Probably the device. My iPhone XR is pretty smooth but my iPhone 8 has definite issues. You can also turn spell effects off to help with crashes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
