### 1/5 — Horrible Game

*2026-08-20, version 2.420.5684*

Dead game due to gambling

### 1/5 — They reward bots and hackers

*2026-08-20, version 2.420.5684*

meanwhile people who have spent money and time get shafted spending billions just to fail 5 absolab 3 necro attempts in 1 sitting to get 0 upgrades which are needed to clear bosses. Maldinh have been stuck on gloom will etc for 3 fing years. tldr necro stones for armor are to rare and expensive  .

### 3/5 — Could you add Korean language support?

*2026-08-17, version 2.420.5684*

It’s a bit busy of UI. I wanted to feel the nostalgia but got pretty overwhelmed 🥲 Korean language support would be great considering there’s a fair amount of korean people globally.

### 3/5 — see below

*2026-08-14, version 2.420.5684*

too many GB

### 1/5 — Terrible customer service

*2026-08-09*

I’ve been waiting for over a few months since there was a misunderstanding that I was charged more for a cash item in-game than what was advertised and asked for a refund. I was banned for this and not fully refunded the correct amount and have been waiting on a response since, several emails and months of waiting.
This is terrible customer service, I’ve spent many hours and hundreds of dollars over the years that it’s terrible to think that I’m banned for your mistake. Someone get back to this.

**Developer response:** Hello, Mapler! To assist you further, we kindly advise you to contact our CS Team and provide them with your account information.

### 4/5 — POCKET TOASTER

*2026-08-09, version 2.420.5684*

I love this game but it makes my phone a pocket toaster. Love the AFK feature but my phone gets so hot.

### 1/5 — Pay2play

*2026-07-29, version 2.410.5627*

It’s a game that requires a hearty income to stay really indulged in content. You can spend 200$ on a item in-game for it to only have a 20% chance of working (this is a in-game low chance gambling feature not a bug) for instance I spent money on 5 of 1 necklace and failed all 5 times. The free 2 play route is beyond a normal pc Maplestory grind I’m assuming cause it offers afk lvling. I started a free 2 play kit(no purchased items to advance it) and it’s still at mythic 3 years later….. also I forgot the community is super small/dead/dying. Good luck finding anyone to socialize with

### 1/5 — Banned for no reason

*2026-07-23, version 2.410.5627*

This was very nostalgic for me as I played PC version when I was younger. I loved it, brought back a lot of good memories of playing with my big brother, who I haven’t seen in a while. So I started playing, then my husband joined, then my kids joined also. But out of nowhere all of our devices get banned. I tried reaching out to support but they must be using A.I. because I got no help. I somehow ended up messaging support for PC and they got back to me swiftly and it was an actual human being. Although they couldn’t help our situation due to PC and mobile being separate departments, I did appreciate their reply. Unlike the mobile support. My kids were sad, they were starting to get into it and I was pretty upset myself. But it is just a game.. we’ve moved on to a different one. I’m glad we didn’t spend any money in game yet. Just a FYI, don’t tell your household of this game or your account will get banned for no reason and you will get no support from them.

### 5/5 — Levels

*2026-07-10*

I like the design but i wish they made more dungeons for exp

### 1/5 — Cool to see it but

*2026-07-04, version 2.400.5601*

Holy, this game takes up over 11GB of space. For Maplestory? I have other fantastic games that do not require such a massive chunk of storage. Very disappointing, I was excited to finally be able to play on the go. This game must be so full of bloat to be that ridiculously massive. Genuinely absurd. It also kept putting on auto-play which is a horrible feature that shouldn't exist in any mmorpg. It shouldn't play for you if you're not going to bother playing it yourself. Why would I want to watch the game play itself? And it's so full of cash grabs I literally just started, I'm not buying cosmetics. This is not at all the Maplestory I remember when I was younger. Completely weird and off-putting in every way.
