Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed reception: players praise the beautiful world, deep customization and flight, but many say monetization, server-locked subscriptions and grinding spoil the long-term fun.

Many players enjoy the visuals, the character creator, the pets and mounts to collect and the flying across the open world. Combat is fun early on, with satisfying skill chains, though some find it simplistic and automated. The complaints centre on monetization: subscriptions and battle passes tied to a single server or character, a marketboard that needs a paid subscription, and crafted gear that pushes players towards the cash shop. Many players also object to gathering and crafting being locked until level 45, the energy limits on dungeon loot, and the player-versus-player balance in the Abyss. Some reviewers mention a policy that can delete characters after long inactivity. Recent reviews are noticeably more negative than the older helpful ones, and several refer to the level 45 gathering change as the point where they stopped playing.

Praised

  • Beautiful world and graphics

    Players praise the Unreal Engine 5 visuals, the detailed world and the expressive characters.

    Many players
  • Deep character customization

    Players single out the character creator as one of the strongest parts, with a lot of options for appearance.

    Many players
  • Flying and open world

    Flight feels good and the open world rewards exploration, with mounts and pets to catch along the way.

    Many players
  • Pet and mount collecting

    Catching and riding monsters appeals to players who enjoy collecting, with many to find.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Monetization and subscriptions

    Players complain about pay-to-win gear, cash-shop dependence and a subscription that applies to only one server.

    Many players
  • Grind and time gates

    Energy limits, timed content and item-level restrictions make progression feel like a checklist.

    Many players
  • Level 45 gathering lock

    Players are upset that gathering and crafting were locked behind the level cap in a recent update.

    Some players
  • Inactive account deletion policy

    Players refuse to play because characters can be deleted after long inactivity without a way to restore them.

    A few players
Who it suits
Suits players who enjoy grinding, collecting and character customization in a Korean-style MMO and accept monetization.
Who should skip it
Players who dislike pay-to-win systems, time-gated progression or server-locked subscriptions should skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with over 100 hours more often complain about the level 45 gathering lock and time gates, while early players mostly praise the visuals and customization.
