It's a decent, mindless grind for the sake of grinding type of game. However, the navigation controls are horrible and the touch joystick for moving doesn't move around the screen, forcing you to keep your thumb in an awkward location. Barely any info provided in-game and completing quests relies on way too much RNG, as monsters you need only sporadically appear. There's also a huge difficulty jump around level 90sh, where mobs suddenly start chunking your HP in one or 2 hits (I was a Mystic).

Fun, easy, but not so easy that it's boring. Cute graphics, rewarding drops from enemies, game starts you with 25 of both health and mana potions so that's way cool. It very much reminds me of like Final Fantasy 5 or maybe 6?? Been a long time since playing them on the ol PS1.. Lol.. Get this game tho. Get it! Lol

Hard pass from me. game slows down too much at around lvl 100. The adventure guild quests are a snooze fest, Rng has bad odds, classes cost too many orns on top of being level locked, 66% of the gear you find is useless for the class you are playing, and the fishing is bugged to where you have to zoom all the way in to even enter the mini game. after level 60-70 the repetitive nature of this game sets in and on top of everything the game isn't always super responsive on my pixel 9 pro...
