### 2/5 — always crashes 3-4x a session

*2026-08-19, version 1.14.0*

good game but wish it didn’t crash so frequently

### 5/5 — Great Game, Lots of Crashes

*2026-08-17, version 1.14.0*

I love this game, it takes me back to the good ole days. Being an adult playing it does something for my childhood self. My only issue is that the game CONSTANTLY crashes. At this point it’s like every 5 minutes. It makes it hard when you’re trying to do a boss raid or party quest. My phone is all the way up to date and I have at least 15-20 extra GBs of storage. I’m not sure why the game crashes so much but it’s gotten to the point where I almost can’t even play the game bc it’s becoming so frequent. Love the game sososo much but it has got to be optimized a little more if possible! Tysm 🖤🖤🖤

### 2/5 — Crashes often

*2026-08-13, version 1.14.0*

Like the game but it crashes extremely often. Getting to the point it’s unplayable

### 1/5 — The RNG in this game is garbage

*2026-08-11, version 1.13.0*

Star force decrease chance below 15 stars? Come on now how can I get multiple decreases in a row at a 10% chance.. now I get to wait like two weeks to farm more star force scrolls and be stuck at this stage for a month.

### 4/5 — Nice but repetitive

*2026-08-06, version 1.13.0*

Great leveling up and auto features but can kind of get repetitive. Not much exploration and quests as I’d like to have had.

### 1/5 — 팅김 현상 해결좀 해주세요

*2026-08-04*

아이폰 13미니인데 매번 팅기는 걸 1달째 겪고있습니다 도대체 언제쯤 해결이 가능할까요 해결 좀 부탁드립니다

### 1/5 — Support is trash

*2026-08-03, version 1.13.0*

Title

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-07-30, version 1.13.0*

I missed this game so much, as it occupied a great portion of my teen years. Picked it up while waiting to see if I get into the MapleStory Classic closed beta, and it definitely scratches the itch a bit. Can’t wait to keep leveling!

### 5/5 — Nostalgia

*2026-07-26, version 1.13.0*

Great broa fun

### 5/5 — Great throw back game

*2026-07-25, version 1.13.0*

Very nostalgic game i played since i was 7 until my account was hacked i hope in the future for this mobile game you can have more than one character like the pc game
