Might be good on pc with a mouse, but tap to move sucks on phones. Put a joystick movement option and this would actually be worth playing. (ps. this is not an RTS game whatsoever) ### 4/5 — Pretty good game *2026-04-09* I like this game. It has everything I want. However, there are a few things I would change. 1. Walking is so slow it is painful. Can you speed things up a bit? 2. Can you put a compass in the game? I hate having to look at the map to see if I went the correct way or not. ### 3/5 — ARRUMAR idioma *2025-12-01* colocar idioma opcional ### 4/5 — Slow *2025-11-30* Basically the game is enjoyable but developing the character is way too slow. Would gladly pay the membership but there’s zero chance I’d do it with an automatic resubscribe. With the slow character growth it gets boring FAST. Just grind grind grind. ### 4/5 — Fun rpg sandbox *2025-09-14, version 1.7.2* I enjoy the art style ### 4/5 — Fun but no support *2025-03-25, version 1.7.2* Thanks ### 5/5 — Excellent Old School MMO *2024-07-23* Great game to chill out and grind for hours while working or playing other games. Hundreds to thousands of hours of progression between all the combat skills and gathering/crafting skills. ### 4/5 — Nice *2024-06-12, version 1.6.38* Awesome game. The touch to move control is a nuisance to me. ### 5/5 — excelent game! *2024-04-29* armazing game and support. ### 3/5 — Good with caveats *2024-01-15, version 1.6.38* It’s essentially RuneScape, same gameplay and similarly difficult to play with £10/month subscription. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2026-05-20, version 1.7.2* Game is dead. Hasn’t been updated in over a year and all the devs ghosted the game. Just move along. ### 1/5 — Development abandoned *2025-09-23, version 1.7.2* I have played back all the way in Beta, This game has not gotten any sort of update for 3 years. Says 10min the ago but that’s a huge lie. Most of the player base has taken off, We still stay in high hopes that will get some sorta update. There Discord site has no upcoming updates for the future been like that for years. A lot of us tried the stay as long as we could even paying lots of money for no new content at all. iOS and Android should make it mandatory to release some sorta update every 6 months at least and not a fake update there giving us for 3 years. Something has got to change player base went from 75,81,42….42.. so if the developers are reading this we have had enough waiting! ### 1/5 — Inevitable Dead game *2025-05-01, version 1.7.2* I started to play this game on android and switched to IPhone. I have played this game since release back when Volcano area didn’t even exist. I have countless hours and money invested into this game. At one point it was thriving and full of new content pretty actively in the beginning. I made life long friendships in this game to be honest which is pretty cool. This game has so much potential if it wasn’t in the hands of Xisle games and they sold it to someone who actually cared. Instead this game is passive income for them when new players discover it. Nonetheless though this game is a dead game, that isn’t being updated regularly. No true content is being added, the old players were promised a Jungle area with mobs over I think 3yrs now which everyone saw what the area looked like because they leaked it. Join the games discord and look at the Trello of all the promised content. It’s all there in black and white unless the developers delete it all after they read this. Regardless new players, old players, love this game, just know it’s a dead game, most of the players you see online is 15-25 actual people playing with 4-10 alt accounts. So if it says 100 people online, then it’s probably only 20 people actively playing. Sorry for the rant. I’d give a 5 star if this was an active game. It’s a forgotten game. ### 1/5 — Yikes, no proper controls *2025-04-04, version 1.7.2* Can't play unless you want to claw at the screen with your thumbs like it's 2016. For real, you'll feel like a child playing this game. Terrible graphics, no controller/keyboard/mouse support, and the community is super toxic. Avoid!!! ### 1/5 — hateful *2025-03-23, version 1.7.2* the community is extraordinarily toxic. some openly used hate speech, and moderation didn't seem to notice. there is no way to report players ingame. but, i got perm muted today, because one or several of the players using abusive language toward me reported me on the discord. i really enjoyed the game itself, but i have a feeling, beyond the clear pay to win elements involved, money buys influence with the developer which is tragic. i am genuinely saddened by this review, but it would be inappropriate for anyone to play this game as it currently stands—i hope you never do. 1/5 is generous. ### 1/5 — Delay pesado!! *2025-01-06* Aqui eu tive um delay muito alto, além de que é de tap move ### 1/5 — The in game instructions aren't clear enough *2024-10-13* So i downloaded ancients reborn mmorpg online and one of the first things i was told to do was go buy a bronze weapon from the weapon shop and so i did and after purchasing my preferred weapon i went outside to go equip it and the game told me that i didn't have the right resources to equip my weapon and so i went to my quest log and tried to see what i had to do for my first quest and all it told me was to equip my weapon but as i stated the game wouldn't allow me to equip my weapon and so now i am very frustrsted with the game and have decided to uninstall the game until this little problem can be fixed your guys game will remain uninstalled on my phone very displeased ### 1/5 — $24.99 sub!?! *2024-09-21, version 1.6.38* That’s so nasty ### 1/5 — Loads of potential *2024-07-06, version 1.6.38* EDIT: Devs abandoned game. ### 1/5 — Intentionally inconvenient systems *2024-01-15* Game could be good. Almost a RuneScape style game. But they have intentionally made things like crafting as inconvenient as possible, presumably as a cash grab to make you buy town portals. For instance mining is in the first area, then it sends you to a forge in a completely different town to smelt the bars (level 20+ mobs). One you smelt the bars you have to go to another completely different town for an anvil to make items. Each time it’s prompting you to use your limited town scrolls. Just put them all in the same area like every other game and stop wasting people’s time trying to make it as inconvenient as possible so they have to buy portal scrolls just to do very basic game mechanics. I wouldn’t mind spending cash in a game that is good but I won’t waste time or money on a game intentionally making it inconvenient for players just to try and get more money from them. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game!!! *2026-01-21, version 1.7.2* Only thing I can ask for is auto play for combating as an option. ### 5/5 — Osrs X Celtic heroes *2025-12-29* Better and improved the way to play is easy. I hope for less paying for things more earning but f2p is very balanced and nice paced mmorpg ### 5/5 — Muss man einfach spielen *2025-11-27* Super Spielkonzept um sinnvoll Zeit und Gedanken zu investieren ### 5/5 — Portuguese Translation *2025-02-18* The Brazilian community in the game is present what has been missing to shoot and only the translation of the game, give this work to you and you will receive many more players! ### 5/5 — mmo Survival *2025-01-30* this is a very time consuming game, perfect for the worker class people: each product takes minutes to hours to craft giving you plenty of time to passivly farm extra also hour consuming timer resources that never despawn. ### 5/5 — I just want to dual wield. *2025-01-11* Please add duel wielding and daggers. I would play much more and invest more money if it were possible. Please consider it! ### 5/5 — It’s good 👍 *2024-12-20* This has been really fun so far and I am hoping you keep working on it and releasing updates regularly. One thing I think it really needs is a joystick to move on mobile. Also a button to switch to the next target instantly after one dies, and to just swap between targets. The last thing is a button to pick up everything a monster drops without having a confirmation box pop up after every kill and having to click “take all”. I aways want to take all of it, and I don’t need to look at it right then, I would like to just press a button to get everything every time quickly instead of combat requiring me to stop and click a button in between kills. It breaks up the rhythm of the action in a bad way I think. You could keep that as an option still to look at the window before deciding on what to pick up, but for me I never want to see that loot window pop up, I just want to take all of the loot quickly while I am already onto fighting the next monster. I think that would make combat flow better and it would be more fun and satisfying to be fighting monsters. Those are the few things I think would make this much more enjoyable on mobile. I don’t know if I can handle the slow pace of having to tap the monster to target it and then have to click “take all” when there is loot, then have to tap to target the next one. I find myself getting frustrated at the pace and having to put the game down for a while. I really want to keep playing so I will give it some more time. But if you do make those tweeks I will definitely stick around for a long time. Either way it’s a great looking game that is well polished and has a lot of cool mechanics. Thanks for making this game, you devs are awesome and doing a great job. 👏 well done! 👍 ✌️🫶🤘 ### 5/5 — So Happy With This One! *2024-09-24* Just play it and try it for yourself. I just started playing today and it didn’t take me long to notice that a lot of thought was put into making this game. Good stuff devs. ### 5/5 — Amazing game so far but needs more work *2024-09-21* So far loving it, easy fetched back game. Needs more improving in many aspects, graphics, sound effects, combat and so on. Players are average amount but in time I can see potential! Give it a try and help these devs improve this game ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-08-24* Easy to read, love the open game play. You choose where you go and what you want to do. Now that, is an open world game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
