First off, this game is stunning visually. However, that is about the best I can say about it. It suffers from what I have come to call “free game drop off”. The game is designed to seem easy up front but, once you get to a certain point, the difficulty shoots through the roof as a ploy to get you to spend real world money. The game’s complexity seems linked to the process of “micro-transactions” aiming to pull more real world funds. The complexity can just get silly. There are some 8-10 different systems to improve everything, each requiring some rare in game resource. In the end the complexity, which could be cool, just feels like a sucker punch for cash and it adds little to the game. Additionally, the complexity takes away from the game’s flow. Personally, I would rather pay some money up front and have a reduced number micro-transactions.
After one day, I had about three hours of fun... Then it just got dull. The auto-questing “feature” almost seems to add to the robotically dull nature of the game play. I won’t even get into the “soul shot” BS. There is a high note though beyond the game’s beauty, it bodes well for what is possible in a mobile game. If someone can put one together that does not feel like a vampire trying to latch onto your wallet, they will really have something.

So many players have quit due to Netmarble's greed, incompetence, and apathy (not to mention the numerous game-breaking bugs and balance issues) that there is now a dearth of high level players. In order to remedy this and make it easier for new players to level up and start spending real money on the game, the latest update MASSIVELY upgraded the rewards new players receive upon reaching a new level - so much so that players who have spent weeks or even months leveling their characters are now easily outperformed by players who started literally 4 days ago! I know people who have spent over a month leveling their character (and spending real money in the process) and now all new characters have better gear than them and are already at the same level within a matter of days. Netmarble didn't retroactively give these rewards to older players either, meaning it's actually more beneficial to delete a character you've been playing for 45 days and start over. What kind of sense does this make and how is it fair to anyone? I spent nearly 100 hours leveling my character and various alts, and now all of that time was a waste. This is just a really desperate move to save a dying game by a company with no scruples. Stay away from this garbage!

What the game once was is irrelevant at this point. I played shortly after launch and did enjoy the game then. As the game stands now, the only way to really individualize a character is through your gear. There is very little customization through skills that will make a character any different than any other character of the same class. The only way to be competitive in the game is to drop no less than $500 and that will leave you somewhere in the low to middle end of the pack in combat power. Although Netmarble routinely introduces new content, the content difficulty is such that you can’t complete it unless you spend additional money for gear that’s new and designed specifically for the new content. It’s actually an ingenious scam. What killed this game for me was the server merges. I had 12 characters on 3 servers. After the server merge, I had 8 characters on a new server. Netmarble will be forcibly deleting all characters in excess of 4, retaining the 4 highest level characters. Seriously? I can’t be bitter though. I got in contact with Apple support, and they refunded the majority of the money I spent on the game. At this point, just stay away from this game. It will be dead by August or September leaving only the whales left playing.
