Eterspire - Fantasy MMORPG 9+

So I’ve been playing this almost the entire day, since I saw it pop up on the Popular section on AppRaven. At the time of this review I am currently level 17.

I think Eterspire has real potential. The game just launched, so the community is quite small. So you’re really getting in on the ground floor here. It is in active development so keep that in mind.

There are no skills, classes, no P2W. There’s no “premium quests” hidden away behind a paywall. In fact while the game does have a premium currency, it’s for cosmetic items such as wings or pets, or teleportation orbs which allow you to get to where you want to go without traversing through each individual area (super handy, if you ask me)

There are ads but they are infrequent and only seem to appear when you travel from area to area. They do not appear *every time* you leave or enter an area though. There is also IAPs which remove those ads entirely (and give you some premium currency to spruce up your avatar!)

Gameplay is simple. You walk up to any of the cute little critters and hit the shiny red attack button that pops up, which triggers an auto battle. Rinse, repeat.

There are a host of NPCS ready and waiting to give you a quest, most of which involve killing a lot do the aforementioned critters. That’s how you earn XP and level up. They’ll drop weapons, armor, runes and shards to upgrade your weapons, capes, and even a rare pet/companion if you’re lucky!

It is very grindy. You’re going to travel from place to place, killing x creature to satisfy x quest - but honestly I don’t mind it one bit. What can I say, I enjoy repetition. If you don’t you might find the game lacking.

I believe there are ‘bosses’ spread through some of the 30+ individual areas for you to take on once you’re ready - with much more planned.

Honestly I’m excited to see where this goes and I’m looking forward to future updates. It is an excellent time killer that doesn’t demand a lot of you. It is incredibly simple and quite frankly I appreciate that.

Personally I would love to see some little achievements added, maybe titles. Daily group bosses were suggested in chat tonight and I LOVED that idea. We shall see what the developers (a team of two!) have in store for us.

Also did I mention the cute creatures already? Seriously, I feel bad for killing them cos they’re stinking CUTE.

If WoW could be distilled to a one button game this would be it. This Fisher-Price WoW is a grinder’s dream. ALL mobs are instanced, meaning that every player gets their own spawn. No spawn-stealing. Even the bosses are your own private spawn that no one else can interact with. No griefing. No pvp. No p2w. There’s even a talent tree. As an added bonus, death is just a respawn at the noob map. No loss of armour durability, no loss of gold, no loss of progression. Try it. You’ll like it.

It’s like playing wow solo and all you can do is auto attack. No p2w here. 10/10
