CyberCode Online: Text RPG 12+

*I don’t normally write reviews so apologies if this review seems scatterbrained*

I’m enjoying my time casually playing through this game. I’m definitely someone who likes seeing my characters stat go up and this game provides that for many many levels. The Dev seems pretty engaged and I’ve seen him in the in-game chat a few times. He has vowed to keep the game free of Pay-to-Win micro transactions by allowing players to purchase cosmetic subscriptions and buying boosts that benefit everyone playing at the time. I’d actually say I wish this game had cosmetics that I could purchase that stay on my account. To my knowledge, you lose your cosmetics when you cancel your subscription no matter the tier. I’d like to be able to hold onto those features you unlock but I understand people would do it once and stop.

The app itself is visually pleasing, as well. Even though I like the minimalistic style of the app, I would love some artwork for the enemies I’m fighting instead of the grey silhouette. Maybe some stylized artwork for the enemies would fit the design of the app. (The game “Valorant” agent artwork comes to mind). Anyways, this being my first text based game and having no experience in the genre, my opinion may no lend too much but I really enjoy the game as of now and look forward to whatever the Dev adds to it in the future.

I don’t think I’ve ever left a review but when a dev reaches out to you personally and ask about a bug you mentioned in the chat then you gotta drop a review. Gameplay wise, it’s a really fun game where there’s a good balance of idle and in game things to do. It can be a bit overwhelming at first but there’s a really great tutorial tab that goes into great detail to explain a lot of core mechanics of the game, and if that doesn’t quite give you the info you need then the community is the next best thing. They are some of the coolest, most non-toxic people I’ve seen in a mobile game so far. I haven’t had a negative experience yet to say the least. Staying on the topic of community, there clan system or should I say gang is top notch really makes you feel part of a group and you really have to work together to stay a float. All in all really live the game and it isn’t a game that you have to spend a lot of time on to enjoy but you’ll end up finding yourself stuck in it after a few hours of play time. -Mag

I see a lot of stellar reviews for this game, so I’m suppressing my initial impression of it. I can only give it 3 stars so far, because so far the game is extremely boring and I’m being told to grind up to level 8 before I go to a dungeon. My take on this: lame. Of course to any gamer the process of gaining loot and leveling up gear is somewhat interesting. But so far my interest in the game has not been extreme (to say the least) since so far my game consists only of (tap weapon button) (repeat) (repeat) (collect loot, or not get any loot)…. Repeat these steps with the next enemy, get a meager amount of xp and coins for each one, periodically go back to town to see what gear I can print (craft), and be brutally disappointed each time, groan, go back to the GRIND. My point is that if this game ever gets fun, you are wrong for making it not be fun before level 8, since you make it such a boring chore to get to level 8. I’m giving it a chance. But if I get to the dungeon and find that the rest of the game is like this? I’ll delete it and lower my review to one star. So far this game has been a dud that I can only take in small doses.

Update: Nah. Finally got to the first basic dungeon, and went through 3 rooms where literally every crate I opened had nothing inside it. One star. Deleted. I couldn’t justify spending one more minute on this game after such a slap in the face.
