So the game is fun and engaging. It has me hooked. Mostly.. The problem I am having right now is, anytime I level up it says my health and mana have been replenished, but it doesn't replenish. This is very bothersome. Secondly when I kill a mission target, it doesn't count it in my quest log. If I have to kill 3 goblins, I end up having to kill 5 or 6 before it registers my kills. That as well is deterring me from continuing. Please fix and you'll get 5 star out of me.

Game had potential but is hampered by the basic concept of tedious frustration does not equal fun or challenge. Yes RPGs are supposed to be a grind, but usually in the end game. This game is a grind from the get go and for the wrong reasons. Sorry but I want to explore the world and get stronger and face stronger scarier enemies, not walk around aimlessly in low level areas because that one quest mob is impossible to find and I need to complete the quest to unlock more of the map.

AMAZING GAME, REALLY FUN GAME, GREAT FRIENDLY COMMUNITY! This game is your classic RPG but you can play either casually (once in a while) or for hours at a time and honestly ive done both and its just so fun either way. It's not P2W at all, the only things you pay for are sprite packs and other customization options. Just download it and play! It's honestly amazing!
