Ratings and Reviews
Best to own one of the newest phones
This is a great game! I just feel sorry for anyone using an older phone. This game will wear down your phone battery fast. I am surprised no one else has made this point. The game also will “crash” during an important boss fight while fishing. That is honestly, frustrating.
The developer does provide frequent updates. The combat is really fun and challenging. I am now at Tier 8 and have a wealth of weapons, armor and boots in my collection. Another tip, join a guild as soon as possible. The perks are great. The quests are exciting, the gear is awesome and gear can be upgraded rather easily.
To me, the dungeons are the real draw. Now, you can endlessly explore dungeons until your character and pet are defeated. You can also (eventually) choose an all Boss dungeon or a dungeon mixed with mobs of monsters. Exhilarating! Positively, this game is a love letter to games (like) Ultima 3-7, Bards Tale, Questron and Legacy of Ancients. I think that is so cool and (80s like) ❤️. Enjoy the journey, it will be a long, challenging and rewarding one.
Best Mobile MMORPG Available
This is one of the easiest games to pick up and play, that has hours of endgame content available. Completely free and from devs who care about their players.
You start off with basic mage, rouge, and warrior classes, that grow into over 30 different specializations and advanced classes. Every class you unlock, you get to keep their respective skills and switch back to at any time.
Game play is simple but becomes challenging. You have open world combat, PvP, party dungeons, and guild raids all available within the first few hours of playing. Events every month that drop top tier gear.
I’ve put in over 25 hours and still have plenty left to do in the game.
Side note, the guy who said it’s “pointless” grinding, pretty much just doesn’t understand the game mechanics. There are items that boost luck, spawn rates, drop rates etc. that you’ll come across naturally in game. You also get items that boost damage, health, armor etc. When you want to farm currency or loot, switch to your farming gear. When you want to battle big bosses and raid, switch to your battle gear. Pretty straightforward but they seemed to have missed the point.
Not p2w in any way, but some sprites are available for sale which help out the devs who actually listen to their players. Hop on discord if you ever get stuck and someone will be able to help you.
Everyone should play this and I hope it grows as big if not bigger than Orna.
Really Impressive Experience
Well…
I was craving for pokemon and an emulator on my phone, but Delta wasn’t released. This game takes the best part of Pokemon, Diablo, and Terraria and made it into a game. The Ascension levels (endgame) and Towers (endgame) really make the game exciting. Also the events that keep coming out. (Even if they recycled events without new events, this game would take awhile to climb.)
I played for two months and have 30 days online and I still have stuff to do. I’m seriously impressed.
Everything in the game that can be bought (via cash), is actually very self sustainable so you never have to spend any money for anything. In fact, most would say if you’re spending money on the game to make it playable, you’re doing it wrong.
All that aside, this game is fully immersive.
There are so many unique aspects about it, but the biggest strength of the game is the theory crafting.
The game also comes with a class as you progress for just casual players because it’s very clear that this game has content for people who want to grind.
Great game. Tons of replay value and hits on some nostalgia.
I would pay for this game if it came with controls to be played on the computer.
