In the magical realm of Esperia, a forgotten land waits quietly for its true master. This once-thriving territory is now shrouded in ominous miasma and overrun by vile Hypofiends. Now, it falls upon you, the great Magister Merlin, to dispel the darkness and restore the land to its former glory through your wisdom and magic. Its revival hinges on your meticulous planning and dedicated efforts. By exploring the world and experiencing captivating storylines, you will unlock new buildings and decorations to create a homeland that reflects your style and glory. With strategic planning and careful management, you will bring prosperity back to the territory and rally powerful heroes to your cause. In this vertical world, you can freely roam through forests and mountains, using vines and tree stumps to bridge waterfalls and rivers while taking in the stunning scenery. Along the way, enjoy a range of interactive experiences, such as petting stray cats on the streets, going ice-skating, having snowball fights, or simply basking in the beauty of the snow-covered landscape. Are you ready for the adventure, Magister? The future of Esperia and your homeland rests in your hands. 【Build Your Homestead With Magic】 Build your manor upon a vast territory, aided by skilled heroes ready to lend their expertise. Assign them wisely to boost productivity and expedite the land's revival. 【Showcase Your Creativity】 Cultivate farmland, construct buildings with different functions, and adorn your homestead with your favorite decorations. Invite your friends over to admire your manor! 【Become a Master Alchemist】 Forge valuable products from your building resources and complete orders to earn special tokens. Use these tokens to upgrade your buildings and enhance efficiency. Over time, your manor will flourish into a self-sustaining magical base. 【Visit Friends and Make Beautiful Memories】 Borrow buildings from friends and lend a hand when they are in need. Visit their manors to exchange ideas and capture the beautiful moments you share together. 【Explore the World and Meet New Friends】 Starting from the Serene Lyceum, you will journey to the Skyrealm Forest, where wondrous creatures roam freely. Throughout your adventure, you will solve puzzles with various items, encounter random events, and meet nearly a hundred heroes from seven factions. As you venture deeper into this enchanted world, you will unlock a wide array of buildings and decorations.

Wield the magic of Merlin as you roam stunning landscapes in one of the prettiest idle RPGs we’ve ever played.

Really surprised by this game but once you give it a chance it is truly very solid. The art, story, design, and fully voice acted lines(despite being silly sometimes) help the world and characters really come to life. The gameplay is quite fun and for a f2p game with no ads there really isn’t a thing I have to complain about. The devs are very generous in offering resources and there is always something to do. The UI and systems throughout the game are incredibly well thought out and I’m just super impressed at the quality and respect the devs show the players through this game. One minor critique I have though is that it is a little too easy to out level the story level enemies making most fights essentially stakeless since you know you will wipe the floor with them. A simple enemy tuning could adjust this and make some of those battles feel more enjoyable. The guild system is quite solid and I’d like to see it more fleshed out in the future with easier access to true multiplayer activities. As a whole I really believe this game is worth your time and I’d gladly recommend it to anyone. I look forward to seeing how the game progresses!

First let me say this I absolutely love this game storylines with each story stories are amazing now there’s clans you can increase your friendship with them and the ore you interact the more gains I’m just so immersed into this game but the only thing that ticks me off is arena and honor duel (mind you it says fair play top left of it too) but as you play this it just gets aggravating I just got done with a arena battle because I needed arena points and that’s only reason why I play that game mode anymore but I had a total power of 697,000 almost 700,000 and the opponent I faced was 523,000 and they still beat me how does that even happen they are practically a whole 200,000 power below me and they are still able to beat me just feels diminishing like I put all this effort into upgrading and someone lower than me with less levels less rank ups wins?? And honor duel just put that fair play portion out because that’s a lie I had my whole team maxed out last fight still 3 lives all I needed was one more win and I lost 3 times in a row last fight and that’s just one situation I’m not going to babble about more but either take the fair play out because it’s 100% not or fix the power system because I don’t even believe it anymore because that’s clearly a lie too if I’m losing to someone 200,000 power below me

Gameplay is nice, but other aspects need work

I Need A Life eeehhhh
This game has very high potential, but coming from a writer’s standpoint, I need to offer critique. Storytelling- The story is good! But it’s the way it’s told that is the issue. The story is very spoonfed, and leaves the player no chance to use their head, leaving a very dull experience. A lot of information given can in fact be inferred with context clues, rather than it being right there. The dialogue has the same issue, and leads to unrealistic and awkward interactions. For example, Atandra’s “I am Atandra, an exile.” No person would open with saying that they’re an exile. That is information someone tells you after a lot of interaction. Character design- The characters are cute, but I wish there were more body types and diversity. Sure, there are dark skinned characters like Atandra, but they’re portrayed in very skimpy, tribal clothing. If you added just one or three other dark skinned characters, things would be a little better. I also have issue with the grugglins being portrayed in tribes, which is often associated with natives and the stereotype that they’re “feral”. Voice acting- The voice acting is cute! But, sometimes the inflection makes things sound disingenuous and dull. All in all, the game has very good potential, and if those minor details were fixed, it would be so much better!
