I feel like I'm one of the few people that had the patience to play this game for more than an hour. A vast majority of the negative reviews for this game are usually people who have either had their accounts banned or just people stating that the game was boring and repetitive. While these are valid criticisms, they aren't exactly full reviews. However, I’ll be doing just that: I’ll review 220+ hours worth of gameplay, give my honest opinion on the game, and a little bit of information surrounding it.
When I first played this game, I chose the warrior out of the 4 classes. The 4 classes consist of a warrior, archer, mage and cowboy, which all have varying attributes. I started off killing low-level blobs and received some gold and items from the mobs. There is also a level system where if you gain a certain amount of EXP from mobs, you’d level up, and gain 3 stat points which you can spend on power, defense, HP, MP and dexterity. MP is essential in order to use special abilities, but you’ll need a large amount of it in order to use them frequently. Dexterity is also really critical for damage, because every time you put a stat point into this skill, your chance of dealing a critical attack is increased by a small amount (a third of a percent). Once I earned enough gold and stat points, I decided to buy items to lessen the time. The first few hours were just that: killing mobs to earn gold/level up and spending said gold and stat points to kill more powerful mobs to earn even more gold/level up faster and so on for hours on end.
You can also earn skill points within the game. Every time you level up, you’ll get 1 skill point, and in return, you can spend these on new abilities. These abilities can cause you to greatly improve as a player. They are divided into 5 separate categories, those being the general abilities and the 4 individual classes. Each class has their own abilities, and some are somewhat reliable in the grand scheme of this game. Firstly, we have the general skills, which consist of jump height, critical damage, rage (a boost in damage), MP regain (which is one of the important skills because you can use your special abilities more often without having to meet a healer every time you drain your MP). We also have the speed dash skill. This is something you’ll need in order to travel through areas much more fluidly. There are also a massive amount of skills for every class; you can look at the wiki or just go through the skill tab in the game to see and learn about every skill for yourself.
You can enter new locations with far superior mobs to earn more gold and items, but after a certain point, there’s a glaring issue. Once you reach near the 50th level, you start to reach what I call the cinderblock point. This is where you can barely progress because your stat point and EXP ratio fly off the charts. This forces you to retreat to low-level enemies because the stat/skill points you gain aren’t enough to deal with high-level enemies, which ends up significantly lowering your EXP gain. However, there’s a solution that the developer implemented into the game (one terrible, scummy, and utterly criminal implementation) to solve this problem which is in-game currency you’ll need to purchase.
The in-game currency you’ll have to pay for with real currency are tickets. These can be used to purchase in-game items like a teleporter, a double jump ability and a drop rate decrease, but most importantly, gold. I need to state that the developer’s bargain for tickets to coins can be considered illegal nowadays so no one actually pays for that. Luckily for the dev, this game is an MMORPG, and you can trade with in-game players (literal infants), usually high-level accounts since they possess the most gold and items. You can hoard hundreds of millions of coins in this game by trading hundreds to thousands of tickets which can cost anywhere between 10-200 dollars. Once you accumulate an amount of gold that you’re satisfied with, you can use said gold to buy extremely powerful items. However, your current level is far too low for you to even equip the gear that you purchased. Alternative strategies would be to first buy the teleporter, teleport to the bookshop located in the middle of the map, then go and buy stat books (books which earn you a stat point when purchased) for 55 grand gold each and skill books (which cost 210,000 coins each). You can purchase thousands of these books to stack your main attributes. By following this guide, you’ll be able to buff your account to relatively high levels, which will allow you to farm higher level mobs to earn even MORE gold.
So, you went from killing defenseless blobs to hairy monsters, robots, massive slime cubes, brick amalgamations, four-legged aliens, beholders, mythical beasts, massive sea creatures, dragons, and a “kraken”. This may seem absolutely magnificent. You feel monumental as if nothing could stop you no matter how brutal the mobs become. It’s entertaining; you are shredding through monsters how Matt Stonie eats pasta, and you are utterly thrilled. You spend hours every day steam-rolling through the most powerful mobs and have an orgasm mid-session from all this, but then you notice something really unpleasant, like a fire in a forest.
Now, once you become overpowered, you enjoy the experience because you can simulate being one of the best and most powerful players outside of the real world, but after a few weeks, you start to become tired of the game. You then notice its pattern: you kill enemies, earn gold, level up, gain stat points, use said money and stat points, buy tickets, trade them with in-game players, receive millions of coins, buy books, use them for stat/skill points, and repeat that process for potential years. Yeah sure, it may feel badass to kill hundreds of massive mobs within minutes, but it starts to become insufferably repetitive after a while. It’s like eating the same meal over and over again - you start to feel the staleness of the food, and want to move on. This game has the same feeling as this analogy. Sure, you can alternate classes to experience a new way of playing the game, but you’re required to pay around $10 to switch classes, and another $10 to craft the armor and weapons to even play as your current class. There are also 2 classes that are so blatantly overpowered that it makes the other 2 feel completely pointless, and those are the cowboy and mage. With all of their abilities and attacks, these 2 and pretty much dominate the game’s overall peak player base. This is ultimately a massive dopamine rush at the start, but a huge disappointment at the end since once you become powerful enough to the point where you can kill every enemy with a single press of a key and have spent thousands of dollars in the process. Because of this, you feel cheated: you feel like someone has robbed your time and money, and you can’t make any of that up because you might get hacked by some high-school coder or you’ll get banned by an unfortunate glitch. So, what is my conclusion? Well mine is to never install this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, money-churning game because you’ll ultimately waste your time by doing so.
