Steam reviews

What players say

Reviews from the last year and recent reviews are mixed to negative, mainly because of pay-to-win monetisation, a weak endgame and unpolished presentation, though many enjoy the nostalgic social MMO feel.

Many players enjoy the old-school MMO feel: grinding mobs, farming and trading with other players, joining guilds and running dungeons, plus the anime art style, cheerful soundtrack and cross-play between PC and mobile. Some praise the flying mounts, the many classes and crafting, fishing and housing, and say the game is fun early on. The complaints are sharper. Some players say the game is pay to win, with paid items for bag space, stats, faster travel and pets, and that free players fall behind in events. Others say the endgame in the mid-to-late levels becomes a daily-quest grind, that combat and targeting feel clunky, and that visuals, voice acting and UI look unfinished. Some report crashes, lag and anti-cheat problems on Linux, Steam Deck and certain setups. Steam's overall view is much more positive than these recent reviews, which are not representative of the whole player base.

Who it suits

Suits players who want an old-school social MMORPG with grinding and an anime style and who are not bothered by a shop-driven economy.

Who should skip it

Should skip it if you dislike pay-to-win systems, endgame grinding or unpolished combat and presentation.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours are more mixed and enjoy the early leveling and social features, while those with 20 to 200 hours mostly do not recommend, citing the mid-to-late game grind and pay to win.
