Some of us don’t like having companions following us around all the time! ### 3/5 — Changes *2025-06-28* I played this game a couple years back, it’s surprising to see that it feels the same. The game is clean, the character/avatar’s cloth keep showing signs of life but the trees which are supposed to be alive don’t, they’re just static, please work on that, it will add more life to the game if the trees can give off that life-like feeling. There’s a couple more things but I can only think about this for now, I just came off the game to share this review. ### 3/5 — I hope you should concerned *2023-11-22, version 19.0.0* This game is really addictive, but the quests should have new every week or months, it’s feel boring when the quests still the same at the time. One more every event or item should have discounts, it’s too expensive. Second all skill hard to get it, some skill like dragons flying… 5years I still not get it. Third the costume should have super discount and esay to get it. The forth all item that sell or from event sell should get the best satisfied like new skill and costumes, weapons device.. thanks ### 3/5 — Bug para ios *2023-08-12* O jogo é muito bom e tem muita coisa pra interagir, você consegue chegar em níveis altos, mas tem bug no ios, se eu abrir qualquer outro app este não abre mais e por isso tenho que desinstalar e instalar novamente. ### 3/5 — Crashing log in *2023-04-30, version 18.0.3* Crashing so much times when i log in game after deleted and reinstall game ### 1/5 — Updates *2022-09-17, version 18.0.1* After the release of 18.0.1 login is stuck and failed. Please fix it ASAP. ### 4/5 — STUCK ON “CONNECTING” IN START-UP SCREEN *2022-08-23, version 18.0.0* YOUR GAME IS NOT STARTING UP SINCE YEARS AGO!!! IT HANGS ON LOADING SCREEN DEPENDING ON DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS OF “DEVICE LANGUAGE” / “APPLESTORE COUNTRY”… IT WORKS FOR EXAMPLE WITH SPANISH/SPAIN BUT NOT WITH GERMAN/USA OR FRENCH/SPAIN…. PLEASE FIX!!!!! ### 1/5 — Same message irrespective of server *2022-08-04, version 17.0.0* Error Code from server 51001 And that is it. ### 4/5 — ศึกสำนักแลคมาก *2022-06-20, version 17.0.0* ศึกสำนักแลคมาเลยครับ ### 1/5 — Can’t create account *2022-05-18, version 17.0.0* I connected through Facebook and no matter which server I try I can’t even create an account. ### 4/5 — Pls *2022-04-27, version 17.0.0* New Server for 5 star ❤️ ### 1/5 — Garbage *2022-03-08, version 17.0.0* Waste of data downloading this trash game. Won’t even give you the option of using a guest account to play test before you commit. Took me multiple tries to even get to the create character page. Can’t even make a character because the game keeps claiming that I am spamming game names. Not sure how it’s possible since it freezes mid way while I’m halfway typing my character name. Definitely better games out there, I’d give this zero stars if possible. ### 1/5 — This game trash *2022-03-07, version 17.0.0* Don’t ever download any game from snail games. They are a money hungry app who doesn’t care about the people who play the game. They allow racism. They don’t do anything about it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — cant Login on new Iphone 16 Pro *2026-01-29, version 22.0.0* i was playing on iphone XS this run smoothly, but on iphone 16 pro its tack on loading screen ### 1/5 — Can’t play anymore *2025-09-15, version 22.0.0* Something wrong with servers, can’t register. ### 1/5 — ระวังนะ *2025-07-02, version 22.0.0* ถ้าไม่เล่นบ่อยๆ กลับมาเล่นมันลบไอดีทิ้งเติมเป็นหมื่นมันก็ลบไอดีเรา ผูกเพสนี่ตัวดีเลย ทักข้อความก็ไม่ตอบ ### 1/5 — Log in problem *2025-05-20, version 21.0.0* My SOS account is connected with Apple ID and Facebook but I can’t sing in with both ### 1/5 — Не загружается *2025-05-10* Игра умерла, сервера выключены.

How to delete & deactivate my account? ### 5/5 — Chapter 8: Act 2 *2021-12-02, version 16.0.0* I’ve only been playing the game for a week and have been loving it so far. However, I stumble across, apparently, a well know error by others who have been on the game for some years. I’ve completed Chapter 8: Act 1 with an A grade. Soon after I did the side quests that popped up and reached level 81 as it requested, but when I go to the “Story Instances” Act 2 is still grayed out and the main quest on the side menu jumped straight to Chapter 9: Act 1. Which I can’t even play because it tells my I still haven’t completed the previous chapter. Is the some sort of fix or workaround to this? ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2020-11-05, version 14.0.1* This is one of my favorite games, I’d recommend this to anyone. ### 5/5 — Ipad air 2 *2020-11-02, version 14.0.1* Hai snail.
