A great game that has aged well with time. Glad to have a mobile version. I do miss the shops and shop NPCs. Also the travel between worlds, having to get a ticket, and wait until the ship shows up, then hide in the hull because barlog may appear. I feel like the cash items are too expensive for me to want to spend any money, and the deals on cash items are pretty lackluster. But the gameplay, the amount of activities, the events, the items they give and bonus, this game is great.

I really do like this game. It has all the nostalgia of Maplestory PC with an interesting mobile format. Unfortunately, I have not been able to log in for over two days now because bots have taken over the servers. This has been an ongoing problem, and the only "solution" offered so far was a restriction on trade that affected honest players more than bots. I really want to continue playing, but this game has become unplayable. Until the issue with the servers is solved I literally can't play.

I'll be honest, the 2 stars is just because it's nostalgic. Other than that, the game hasn't changed except I only physically played 3 times. The rest was done in auto mode. It's too heavy with microtransactions and you have to rely on all the free stuff they give you or you'll never make progress. At the same time, you could spend $1000 and never hit max lvl. From lvl 1-99, I've owned 2 weapons and 2 sets of armor and they were handed to me. For such a large game, there's not much to do.

One of the worst games that I have seen in a very long time, for very many reasons. All of the quests are automated for you. You just manage your inventory. You don't do anything but sit there and watch. You can actually bypass your quests simply by leveling up and unlocking the next quest in the line. This is bad because you out level the story very quickly, doing literally anything that isn't pure story. Even if you try to do your quests yourself, the controls are some of the worst controls I've seen on mobile. That, and enemies will spawn on top of you, dealing damage instantly. The game is plagued with crippling issues such as bosses appearing in places they shouldn't be, like cities. A single cosmetic item costs somewhere around $5. You don't even get a full set, literally just gloves, or a dress, or hair, per $5. Some classes are remarkably underpowered compared to others, which are remarkably strong. This sucks due to the fact that in boss fights, the best players (players who dealt the most damage) get rewarded while others don't. It's setting up a meta of "Use this class only if you want to have a chance to succeed at all. I regret spending money on this game. It was fun for the first 30 levels, but past that is where all of the issues began to really shine.

It's OK, but needs improvements and bug fixes. Some good stuff, like nice pixel graphics and amazing quest system. Skills are easy to manage, and there's a great deal of content. The gear system isn't the best. You've got the same low to mid tier weapon throughout the game unless you get lucky with draws, which cost money. In my experience, when I tried to purchase gems, the app never completed the purchase. When I reached out for support, I never got a reply back in game or via email.

Tried this game over a year ago, complaining that the controls weren't great. Just tried it again, and I don't think they were ever updated. It's so unintuitive. I was so frustrated with just the Forest of Endurance tutorial, I didn't bother letting it finish downloading before uninstalling. Not letting people change direction mid jump is annoying. A fixed virtual joypad can be tough to use. And for some reason, it gets stuck with me moving in one direction. Disappointed things weren't changed
