Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We simply do not understand how these games have such high reviews. The combat is dumber than early 2000s mmorpgs. Its just so freaking boring. Maybe theres a great game here being the combat, but no way am we willing to wade through that experience to find it.
Still worth 5 because its 9th dawn, but man No idea why changes were made. Monster taming – replaced with rng eggs. Taming in 3 was rough to start, but still far better than just having a miniscule chance for eggs to drop. We feel just making the entry barrier to taming more manageable would have been perfect. But its nice to have a full party within a couple hours of the game. Fishing – horrendous time consuming minigame. Cards – ugh. Cool in theory, but not a true addicting card game like in 3. Standard dungeon crawling turn based rpg. Whats worse is you cant save inbetween runs (which can last 20+ minutes) and there are virtually no rewards at all for doing it. Also no cards to collect. UI – what in the world? Took the perfect touch screen layout in 3, and replaced it with a microscopic hotbar, that you cant even touch because your phone will think your trying to switch apps. THIS was the worst decision making every skill other than your first 3 quick slots virtually unusable. Other than those main complaints, game is still very similar to 3, just a huge step backwards in the above aspects. Still makes this better than 99.9% of everything else on the App Store, so easy 5 we just really hope for a touch screen change, we really would like to use more than 3 skills please.
This is the best in the 9th dawn games so far in terms of ui and it runs great just wish the multiplayer was optimized a bit better but overall a great time.
Overall great game! Some of the mechanics are hard to learn at first and take awhile to get use to. A lot of it is not explained well but learning new things is kind of rewarding. Almost could use a tutorial of some sort but thats a minor complaint. Also putting the inventory button away from the combat button would be great! Its like pixel Skyrim basically. Dungeon crawl vibe. Been looking for a game like this for awhile. Worth the 10$ for sure.
The game is really good, we've played a lot of 9th dawn III and it feels very similar. Really enjoying it so far.
