Toram Online 17+

I usually download these types of games and get bored after twenty or thirty minutes of playing. That didn’t happen this time and i’m pleasantly surprised. I’ve spent at least ten hours on the game in the past two days. It's been a good way of occupying myself while we’re snowed in (Texas). Most of the people online are friendly and the only gripe I have is that there are people trying to sell in-game currency for irl money and there’s not much going on in the guilds. The game itself is engaging and since there’s so much to explore and so many people who have tasks for you there’s almost never a time where you aren’t doing something. You can wonder around into areas regardless of your level. I personally like to make trips to each town to see what each npc has to say and so I can reach harder dungeons with higher level enemies.

If you aren’t typically into this type of game you should at least try it. I don’t know why exactly but this game just doesn’t give me the same over dramatic feeling. It’s all believable because it fits into the world. Usually when bad things happen the characters can understand what’s happened and can give good information on why it happened, and even give some good exposition without turning into a novel.

I think the biggest plus this game has is writing. The writing is pretty good, story wise, and the story bits are just long enough to be engaging and just short enough as to not become boring throughout most of the story.

I love that this game is open world so you can explore all you want and not be confined to a story line. I love all the freedom to customize me character and play with friends.
Another great feature is the chat system in which you can choose not only to talk to anyone who is near you but you can choose to only talk to your friends, a certain person, your guild and even just shout out something to the whole map. And best of all your chats are color coated so you can keep track of who can read what your saying.
There only one thing that bothers me in this game and that is that you can buy your own land and build a house but it takes a lot of time and resources, it almost makes it not worth having a house at times. The thing that would make this game even better and much cooler would be if it were cheaper to build your house and buy land, if the houses for more detailed with more options and if there was more to do in your house. This is such a gorgeous and detailed game, it with that feature better reflected the perfection of the rest of the game. But I suppose they partially make up for the land feature in that you can catch and keep pets on it! Your pets can even follow you around and fight with you.
The developers put so much time and effort into this amazing game which is why I love it so much and would highly recommend it.

The game is incredible for a mobile game, especially of its time. The semi-open monster hunter-like world is full of unique enemies and bosses and other players. The player ran economy promotes socializing, finding a good party and guild, and investing in your own blacksmithing or synthesizing builds. The class system + the combo system is so open ended that it allows for so many fun and unique builds that, if built right, are not always too underpowered compared to the meta. Gacha mechanics are kept to cosmetics mainly, and things that aren’t cosmetic can be bought with in game currency since you can sell almost Anything you have. Overall, it’s an amazing game with amazing concepts and game design... however, to get to those good parts, it takes So much grinding. It’s so ridiculously tedious and time consuming, that it’s just plain inaccessible to most casual players, who could easily play easier games that get funner faster. This is why I can’t recommend it to most of my friends, and generally no longer play since I don’t have the time I used to to invest in it. I hope that someday the company behind this game will take the elements that worked and put them into a more polished much more accessible mmorpg, because All the elements are there, just not executed as well as they should be.
