Great till you get to 150 level or so. I liked this game until I realised that you're committed to playing several hours a day. Why you ask, energy buffs such as sorrow that allow you a semblance of a chance of killing more powerful enemies run down too quick if not. It becomes almost impossible to carry on playing with any sense of fulfillment. Such a shame, it was actually a great game. I guess I need to be an unemployed teenager again to get the most fulfillment from this game :(

Hey Mark! Your Sorrow charge lasts 48 hours, so there is no need for daily play if you are interested in the extra power it gives. Otherwise, you can definitely get by without issue using spells that do not need to be charged.

UNIQUE AND AMAZING GAME amazing game, maybe need more explanation how to use items, how the events works, how to fish, message that you find better equipment to wear or when ( day, night) and what area to find quest monster. but all this are just a small thing. the game is amazing. I didn't have so much fun with mobile game for a long time. well done.

The game is good and ive played to level 128 so far as a mage build but the game needs some major QOL fixes, being able to pin quests so you can view them whilst walking around, showing where quest areas are for quests you have and being able to select whoch shows on the map, being able to sell everything without worry of accidently selling equipped gear, quest enemies actually being present when doing said quest, more descriptions on just about anything etc. This game has potential..
