Soul's Remnant

The game is run like a non-commercial personal pet project. See all other negative reviews that mention childish moderation approaches, and other related issues. Patches are managed in a same way, by pushing them to live server and any bugs are resolved live, meaning your character or entire account can become a casualty of an unfortunate patch issue. You get all your skills that you'll use during the first ~15 hours, after that, there's nothing to look forward to. The gameplay is very jittery, laggy; depending on the server load the problem is either managable, or unbearable. Loot system is good (however, balanced around auction house), builds are interesting enough, but there's almost zero in game explanation of mechanics, therefore you mostly guess or search the web. UI is TERRIBLE, chat only fits 3-4 very short lines of text, its almost unusable. As an example: you select 'party' channel, you no longer see local messages. You can scale UI to be smaller, and it helps with clutter, but it doesn't make chat or other elements more usable. You can't resize any UI windows to fit more inventory slots, etc. Leveling quickly becomes extremely slow and unrewarding. Unless you treat it like a background activity while doing something else, this game is not for you. However, by paying no attention and not grabbing your items, you risk losing on ocassional valuables (or getting banned for 'botting'?), any loot very quickly becomes shared with other players if you don't manage to pick it up in time. You can mitigate it by buying a cheap subscription (2.49$ for 30 days) and having higher looting radius, but it doesn't solve the issue, only makes it less severe. For ultrawide users, the game is limited to 16:9.

Nearly 100 hrs in so far, figured it was a good time to review. The game takes a very classic platformer MMO approach similar to MapleStory, but instead of new classes every time you turn around, it has a skill tree where you essentially create your own class by choosing what skills and stats you want to invest in. It's lead to a lot of fun build types and playstyles, with some players going full on Maple from Bofuri or Kirito from SAO and having viable characters. Very fun, and I highly recommend giving the game a try. The dev team is small and is constantly releasing updates and has set a roadmap, though combating bots and cheaters has been a priority, you can tell by other reviews that they've been rather successful. They aren't afraid to ban people who spend money either, which is very commendable with their hard stance on unfair play in this modern age. However, I do have some minor gripes. One thing that the game unfortunately replicates from other similar titles is the kill stealing and poor exp/loot sharing. It seems to be very heavily based on damage dealt and doesn't take into account other factors such as % of HP damage done or time spent attacking. The "mighty" mobs that spawn have much higher hp and take time away from grinding exp on normal mobs for several minutes at later levels, and if you spend 4 minutes killing one, a higher player can just pop into your map and one-shot it, leaving you with just a share of exp from it and them getting the drops. It is not a great feeling, and overall the exp/loot system tends to make me want to avoid other players, which is kind of nostalgic since most modern games make me feel happy to see someone that could party or freely help me out without either of us taking a loss. Luckily you can get items called Mirages which open instanced maps for you/your party, but it would be nice if it wasn't preferable to normal play.

Steamでレビューを初めて書くので見づらかったらすみません、このゲームはオススメ出来ません最初は面白くフレンドとレベル上げなどをしていましたがある日突然アカウントがbanされましたと出ました 初めは何かの間違いかと思いアンインストールして再インストールしましたが身に覚えのないチート使用が理由でbanされていました私自身機械に疎くアンチチート関係で裏で起動している物など調べましたが、特になくまるで意味が分かりませんでした このゲームにはキミティパスというその月に新しいコスメが届いたりアイテム取得可能範囲が大きくなるという 効果があったので購入しましたが公式サイトのHPでチケット発行をしても返金の対応があったりアカウントが戻ってくるなどの対応は今のところありません

極度糟糕

First of all - this game it is confusing. You dont know where to go what to do, how unlock next areas, what is blocking your exp and item drops, how to unlock hidden skills etc. Second - to many useless skills no one cares about (life skills for example). And the most important - high level players farm mobs in low level areas so there is no way for you to level up. They just insta kill everything around you so your exp is zero. Game is chaotic, boring and annyoing. Hype is gone, not too many players on servers anymore.

a lot of love and care was put into this so it's a positive review for me. Super fun, if you played and loved Maple as a kid this game is just for you. Very satisfying skills and seemingly very deep and complex. Unfortunately won't be continuing to play because it seems it's already an in group/out group of clique(s) of high levels. I saw 1 other people traversing the map doing the starter quests from 1-10. Got to 10 for the Sime Garden dungeon, couldn't find anybody to do it with lol. I'm guessing you had to be there day 1 with the others, I don't think there's going to be much of an influx of new players coming into this game so I'm on the outside looking in.

歧视中国人，纯偏见来的，打中文就容易被ban，辛辛苦苦玩几百小时什么原因也不讲直接封号，结果别人开挂的什么事都没有，正常玩家被ban完了，造装备造了得100小时，就像辛辛苦苦烧完一顿大餐被作者换了盘大份爱吃吃不吃滚，[spoiler] 只推荐脑残粉和受虐狂玩 [/spoiler]

I got disconnected mid-game and was banned for a month, and the reason was "hacking"? I only used a network accelerator to reduce latency. Before using it, my ping was over 300; after using it, it was around 100+. Is that really enough to get me banned without giving me any chance? Fine, I just won't use it anymore. If "hacking" means cheating, the game has built-in macros that let you chain multiple movement skills and auto-target enemies. I am not a bot at all. Within 30 minutes before the ban, while I was playing, a party of other players came and stole my mobs, and I manually switched to an empty channel. Don't you check any of that? Going to Discord to submit a support ticket only results in an automated bot reply and then an instant mute. The officials just mindlessly ban people without giving any chance. I didn't disrupt the market, didn't ruin others' gaming experience, and didn't engage in RMT. My gear was obtained entirely through my own efforts. I've already spent tens of millions of soul shards on upgrades, and I'm ranked in the top 200 on the server.
