The game is super fun, just need more attention and more updates and new areas I feel like it’s stuck in the same 3-4 places to lvl and explore. I’m pushing lvl 47 and I feel like what’s the point of lvling any more there are no more areas and no new enemies. Please update soon with new areas and new mobs. ===Update====
So the above review was from may of 2024 and now I’m writing for September 2024
Last month pointless update happened nothing new or changed besides some random event that had nothing to do with the anticipated update no new areas no new guys nothing new besides a bunch of changes to setting waste of time when they could’ve added a new areas or new monsters for level 50+ this game is stagnant. They’re not focusing on the big picture instead of wasting everyone’s time. And if you have a lack of funding, I have a few suggestions for you to create a new map or area that will peak a lot of peoples interest and then add new weapons or armor that you can buy from the shop not $100 mounts that none buys you need to generate yourself a good revenue to be able to invest in the game more. I’ve been waiting over a year for your update. when is the update going to happen? There’s no information there’s no updates letting anybody know anything ?!?
I have played MMORPGs since the first ever request. Thought I would check this out. Got a quest to kill bunnies the first bunny killed me and then I ended up going to a graveyard. I tried to kill another bunny, but then they just chain killed me making impossible to progress. Obviously the devs put no thought into the game and are just rushing this junk out for a quick money grab. I didn’t expect the easiest game in the world, but this is ridiculous and simply not fun and lacking any guidance
Also IAP prices , though cosmetic are beyond crazy expensive. Small world to boot.
Played 100 games especially this genre games like curse of aros and co and never had any problem with any game. Heartwood decided to bann me perm for botting which i never did why would anyone bot with a max lvl char. Heard from alot of high players they got banned too for no reason looked at the population and saw they lost half of the playerbase in less than 3 months. I decided to contact the support after 6month because finally they said new update was coming. I went very nice and hyped in the conversation wanting to come back and have fun with the new update and help the community getting players i had 5 friends rdy to jump in with me and grind. However the support was so insanely rude said they dont care if i used anything in the past and i should just start over. After that i told them to pls check again cus i never used ANY bot i was putting so much time into lvling and grinding. The response was we dont care. Thats when i wrote the only rude thing which was its no surprise u lost so many players after that i got kicked from discord and they banned my new lvl acc. I mean look how easy u get banned after putting weeks of grinding just dont try this game and play curse of aros its x10 better and the support is super nice
Iv tried doing it thru my Apple account an it wont work an then tried a Steam account after i made one an that didnt work an then tried thru my Google account an still NOTHING!!
Im sure its a great game an really like to give it a go but until then id give it no stars but 1 is as low as itll go.
Please fix this issue an make it possible for creating an account or at least set it up where it doesnt need to go thru pop-up windows to the internet anto link it to other profiles bcus its not work an its aggravating.
Look I’m all about the grind in games, but 2 hours of killing the same creature over and over for one drop for a quest is ridiculous. Took me about 3 hours just to get to level 6, and that’s including grinding for crafting things as well. I understand it’s in early development, but unless you like killing the same monster just to kill the next “tier monster” that’s just a reskin of the original for endless hours on end, your not going to enjoy this game.
Its so grindy early on... only one guy gives you quests to get xp. Unless im missing a notice board or other npc, they should have an "!" Mark over them on the map. Ive talked to every npc and the trapper was the only one that gave me stuff to do early on. And then there is xp drop off... equipment levels. I couldnt even take the 3 or 4th trapper quest till i was level 8 which took like 2 hours to get to. I like to try new games out but this just makes me think... "why play this over OSRS?"
Love the formula, very grindy. One thing I noticed is that if you open another app your world freezes so you’ll have to log off and log back in to reset, there should be a reset world button or something. Easier leveling with more crafting would be ideal ❤️
Wonderful game, great update. However whenever I join a party the game keeps crashing, but only while in a party. So currently I’m at a huge disadvantage. Also game need a lot more servers/ worlds.
Only started playing this game for maybe an hour and so far i like it a lot. I can already tell you have to put in some serious grinding hours into this game. It Has a lot of potential to become a game for the masses who enjoy this type of gaming. It reminds me alot of a game i used to play years ago called Endless-Online, i loved everything about that game and the grind that came along with it. Needs updating and improvements and some polishing up but definitely enjoying already so far.
This game is a lot of fun and has a lot of the elements I like in a game. It’s still in early access so there is still more to come and I’m looking forward to seeing what there is. Right now, this are kind of crazy priced on the cosmetics but bank space cost seem decently priced and so far there’s nothing in the game that you can p2w. It’s a very grindy( which I love) and there’s no auto controls (which I also love). I would like to see the option to lock on an enemy or ally for skill use. It would make it a lot easier to use skills then. If you like mmorpg I definitely see this one going places. Give it a try.
The game is amazing, and it plays very well on mobile.
Some ideas for new content and updates:
-I would love there to be team based dungeons added, and they could be based on level range.
You could have a dungeon finder queue, where you choose a role, (damage, tank, healer, dps etc) and it would teleport players to dungeon when role is queue.
-Add a healer class, like priest or paladin. Could be a good addition.
-add pauldron (or shoulder guards) as an armor piece. It could be class specific design and stat bonuses.
-add a public trading zone, like a little fenced in area that brings players more together by participating in free trade, could stimulate the in game economy.
-Add more crafting options and higher tier craft-able gear. Maybe you could add higher tier weapons to craft, like dragon weapons or obsidian. Some weapons could be crafted from rare boss drops maybe.
-also, and this is a personal suggestion lol. Can you please add dual wielding for rogues. I really wanna dual wield daggers, and craft a lot higher tiers of daggers. I know it’s a somewhat new mmorpg, But what if after the last teir there was more hardcore gear.
This game has the chance to be one of the more famous and well known mmorpgs on AppStore.
Thanks!
This is by far a 5 star game, absolutely amazing mmorpg in every way! Just a couple things to keep players engaged, I love the new pvp update, but there needs to be incentive when engaging with other players. For example on death a player should drop some form of loot, whether that’s coins, or resources that were not banked. Apart from dueling other players, there should also be areas where more rare resources are within a PvP location. With all that being said if loot drop is updated into the game, just make sure only the same lvl players can attack each other; unless In a guild fight then all levels between the guilds can attack each other. Again amazing game, I’m just hoping there is more incentive for player engagement with PvP. Everything else like trading, dueling, resource grinding, and pve has been very fun!
The game is simple but extremely fun. Sure you have to grind for hours to level up different aspects but that is the fun of the game, you can pretty much do whatever you want. You can craft your own gear, trade with others(after character lvl 15), or far different mobs for gear drops.
I’m glad I went browsing for a new game, because this did not show up on the main App Store game page. Looks like the developer is hard at work on updating. This game has everything I like about rpg’s, and so far nothing to complain about.
Classic MMO with some modern features. Cross progression between PC and mobile has been a godsend. It’s fun and for sure worth the play especially since it’s free, not pay to win, and no ads. I see lots of potential in this game.
At first I thought this was going to be like the other rpgmmo games and tons of auto play but it isn’t.
Hope there will be more gear and more customization to the characters soon.
Awesome game. We’ll put together. I have fun playing this game. I wish there were full controller support. For now only the movement joystick works and tap screen for action buttons.
Exactly what I had been looking for for a long time. With future updates I hope it gets even better.
This game brings me back and I love it for that, reminds me a-lot of early 2000”s grind time style games.
Excited to see what this developer adds as things continue.
This game reminds me of a mix between old school RuneScape and maplestory.
honestly I like it a lot
This game has its grinds but it’s worth it in the long run.
You level up Skills like woodcutting, mining, crafting in order to make better gear
You choose a class and level up your stats or “talents” with the more monsters you kill.
I’d give it a 10 out of 10 even tho it’s still in the beta phase.
