The way the charactars are animated and how they bow. I love how it has standards in place and a nice storyline. It’s underrated and I love it. Din’t give the creators a hard time guys. Every game has flaws ❤️ ### 5/5 — It’s good once u take time to learn it *2021-02-19, version 1.0.8* This comment is going to be pretty long, but I hope this is informative. This game honestly has a pretty high learning curve especially when you get into the higher levels and more tools and options are unlocked for your character. But the mechanics are pretty smart, and to get good at the game you need to put forth a bit of planning and effort. The more you play, the more you learn, ESPECIALLY if you talk with your in-game mentors or more experienced players. The tips that these people can give you are crucial! I see many comments regarding characters “disappearing”, and I think I have an answer for that. The game sometimes opens new servers, and the login screen will automatically switch to the newer server sometimes. So if you don’t look at the server number and click “login” it takes you to the new player create character page. No, your character did not get deleted, your character is just on a different server. I’ve made this mistake before, and I hope putting this here can help out those who have this question. Now, regarding the whole paying money situation. Yes, if you pay money it will make it easier to grow your character and your team, BUT collecting ingots (in-game currency) is not as difficult as people make it out to be. You just need to be a bit patient. For example, the game has a “dailies” menu, in which if you complete an array of tasks each day, you will collect a maximum of 115 ingots per day, which is 805 ingots per week. In addition, the new version now has log in ingots, which gives you 100 new ingots per 5 days of log in. Aside from these methods, there are other ways to earn ingots in-game as well. You also have to use ingots carefully and plan it out to get the most out of your ingots. There are lots of resources in the game that are very often overlooked by newer or inexperienced players, so the resources often go to waste (if newer players are not aware of the value of the resources and throw them away). I will emphasize again the importance of asking people for tips and tricks. A lot of players put money into this game because they want to make their character and team stronger than everyone else’s, so they are willing to spend. Free to play players may feel a pressure of not being able to keep up due to the spending players’ speed of team improvement. But in the end it depends on what you are looking for in a game. If you want to be one of the top ranked players in the server then you will have to be willing to pay money in order to make your character strong. If you are a casual player just looking for a good time, you don’t have to spend and you could still get a decent team and decent power if you work hard. ### 5/5 — Kicks me out *2020-11-01* 😈👉🏻kicks🙎🏾‍♀️💃🏾 🙍🏾‍♀️ 🚫👘🇰🇷🎌🇯🇵🇰🇵 ♥️🇨🇦. 🙎🏻🧨. 🧑🏻😈 👥👥. 👁👄👁 👁👅👁. No fair ### 1/5 — Worst game don’t even waste your time on this game *2020-06-24* This game is so frustrating as I had a friend who has like tons of accounts in other servers as only playing in one account is pretty boring and they froze her account..? She spent lot of time,money,and effort in those accounts and they just freeze because it was an alternative account. The developers really need to stop doing that as it’s so time wasting, not being able to log in one day and finding out your account has been frozen and when my friend tried to message them, they only said they had to freeze it because it was an alternative account. That was only reason and that’s a really trashy response. ### 4/5 — Can’t log in *2020-06-05* This game is excellent, but I can’t log in. I use Facebook for my account in the game, but suddenly the account has expired or something and no matter what I do I can’t get in. I can’t recover password because I used Facebook and not an email. I can’t play because of this which angers me because I have made great progress with the game and almost finished the story. Please fix this! ### 2/5 — Can you delete other characters *2020-05-22* You continue to make new servers with newer storylines than the old ones if I log into Facebook account I have at least five characters but is their a way to delete the old ones I don’t play anymore if I log into a new server with Facebook? I’m tempted to just log into the game with Twitter and not play on the servers with my Facebook log in. ### 3/5 — Censorship *2020-04-08* Please fix the censored words. A lot of them are not inappropriate yet get blanked out. (spicy, april, wish, etc.) Please bring back the hero summon events, not the ingot ones, a lot of players are waiting for them. ### 1/5 — If you are in a quiet dead server you are stuck *2020-02-19* I switched server after my cousin had me join one to learn the game but it was so quiet and I like to talk to people so I changed to a different server. My account was frozen and was labeled an alt. When asked if they can’t release this account and remove the other I got nothing. So I wasted time, money, and am forced to stay on a server that is basically dead. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS GAME!!! **Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for playing Legend of Empress. We'll need more information to help to find your account back. Please send us an email at with your previous game records, and screenshots if applicable. We'll work to help you with your issue. ### 2/5 — I dont know what i was expecting. *2020-02-10* Immediately I could tell this was going to be a pretty shoddy game. First time booting it up, I had to wait several hours just for it to download everything. Okay, I’m fine with that, I understand. Considering this is a Friend Times game, I was used to that sort of system because of other games like Royal Chaos that used that. Oh, speaking of Royal Chaos.. That game and this is exactly the same. Same story, same gameplay, same play-style, heck, even the names of the characters and the dialogue is EXACTLY the same from Royal Chaos. They didn’t even try to hide it. I seriously couldn’t believe it. They didn’t even bother to alter the names, roles or even the character designs. I could tell this game was also “influenced” by Call Me Emperor as well. Oh, I’m not quite done yet. So, I only got to play the game once. I can’t ever play it again. You know why? Well, let’s just say its a really, REALLY convenient coincidence when I get immediately kicked out of the server and my account BLACKLISTED from the game right after saying how the game was extremely similar to Royal Chaos in the chat. I’m not joking. I sent a message out about how this game directly copies Royal Chaos, a few others agreed, I went on to say about how they didn’t even try to hide it with the characters names and etc., and then BAM. I was logged out, and my account was apparently “frozen”. I still think how hilarious this is, and this was literally like 20 minutes before writing this review. Overall, 2 stars, mainly because I actually like Royal Chaos. This game on itself though is futile in its efforts. **Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for your feedback. Though Legend of Empress and Royal Chaos are developed by the same team, and we expect you to dig more into the game and enjoy the unique experience. As for your account, we'll need more information to help to find your account back. Please send us an email at with your previous game records, and screenshots if applicable. We'll work to help you with your issue. We really appreciate your feedback and please keep supporting us. ### 3/5 — Patch Downloading *2020-01-22, version 1.0.4* I see last year people complained and the response was it was going to be worked on. Well it’s January of a new year, and every time I open the game I download the same patch over and over, my characters fail to show up on servers. I start a new one just to have it gone again when I quit and start the game another time. Great game but that patch needs to be fixed. ## Frequently asked questions about Legend of Empress ### What is Legend of Empress about?
