CONTROLS & GAMEPLAY
You start the game choosing between 4 basic starter classes. Swordsman, Archer, Mage & Cleric. The first advanced class option is available at level 15. I chose the swordsman since it's my default starting choice for most RPG's. You have 2 experience bars. One for your class & the other for your level & each time they fill up you get a point for skills & stats. Stats are basic STR, DEX, INT, SPI, CON. They do what you think they do if you're familiar with RPG's.
When you make your character you can choose their gender & hair style. That's it. No hair colors, no body types, no face types, no hair colors, no skin colors, no clothe colors, etc. Everything is sold to you in the cash shop because, why not? Also, if you mess up your build be prepared to either start over, deal with it or pay real money for a respec scroll.
The biggest complaint I have with the gameplay besides the controls is there is no collision detection between you & enemy NPC's. So, playing as a melee trying to attack at awkward set angles is even more tedious when enemies keep running through me. Enemies will sometimes even run away which is even more annoying for a melee like me since you run so god damn slow & they run at least 2x faster than you do so you gotta chase them down every single time.
CRAFTING
So I got far enough into the game to check out the crafting system & it's kind of an odd one. So you can buy recipes or find them in the wild or off of quests. You need materials to craft the item obviously & you can theoretically craft anything you have a recipe for, HOWEVER, one of the ingredients IS the recipe itself. So, once you craft said recipe it's gone. You need another recipe to craft it again. That's just stupid, especially when the recipe is listed in the journal once you pick it up. It's the equivilant of having a cookbook to show you how to cook & throwing the book into the pot with all the ingredients. It makes no sense at all other than to give you more reason to grind to earn another cookbook every time you want to cook something even though you have another perfectly good cookbook that can't be used for some reason.
MISINFORMATION IN THE GAME
Yea, I'm fine with figuring out stuff on my own but like I said, some things aren't explained or just have straight up misinformation on them. Like "Right Click to add to the Adventure Journal" or "Recipe's are learned once you use them". Flat out misinformation. You can't learn recipes at all (not in the traditional sense anyways) & everything you pick up is added to the journal right away. I had to figure that out on my own because the game flat out lies to you & not in a Dark Souls kind of way, either. Then there's the 2h swords, they have a description that says, "Level 15 Swordsman Required". What that actually means is, "2H Sword Skill Required." You can learn the skill but you need a specific advanced class to learn it. Basically vendors lieing about their products to get you to buy them only to find out you can't use it.
OVERALL
Negatives aside I am still enjoying the game because I like the class system but I can't recommend it because it's just so broken & it's using the usual BS F2P Monetization that I oh so love to hate. FPS constantly stutters & can dip below 10FPS. Constant lag & rubber banding. I even had a glitch that forced me to restart the game to fix it involving an elevator in the first dungeon. Another situation where there was a gold spammer spamming so much my FPS dropped to about 5 & I couldn't move. If you try this game just be prepared for a lot of lag & constant BS from the usuall F2P garbage.
Now don't get me wrong, I want to like this game. I like the graphics, custom classes & once you get used to the controls (or figure out there's a mouse option) they aren't that bad. It's everything else that makes me think this game is garbage. The obvious cash grabbing, the waste of time skill upgrade system, the stupid crafting system that requires multiple recipes even though you have the recipe in a journal, etc. It's just bad man. Bad game design in general meant to pad the experience.… Expand
