Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Very basic controls but very fun to play its highly addictive .. Would suggest it… If youre not playing other games.
Loving it so far, no waiting on energy but the grind is neccesary to progress. Tons of "classes" give good flexability to your group allowing for some cool strats.
Great game and very addictive love it. Thanks for it. Needs a little adjustment on the battlefield but is great. Thanks for the attention.
We enjoyed the game for the most part, but once you get the resonant bard class and a solid damage dealer, all challenge dissipates.
If the company can, can you guys please make a translator for the register that keeps our file saved because we want to have everything we had completed saved, but we cant read the steps for registering for an account.
We love this game, it's a lot of fun and everything that's been put into it will keep our interest for a good amount of time we have one thought that would make the game more fun and it's very simple add more classes, Normal and Special it would make the game last longer. All the classes look really cool we're sure more cool ones could be made. Thanks for making a good game, keep it up.
This game requires a lot of grinding in order to get further in game. It is very unlikely for you to beat the game without spending any money. The reason is that you would need to pick the right class and it takes a very very long time to even get the class to SR. And then increase max level of the class (need total 5 SR cards of the same). Then level them up to 99. One good thing of the game that keeps us playing is that there is NO energy. You can play as often and long as you want. You could speed the game animation as fast as 3 times. We give it 4 stars because there are things we think are not good deals. First even though you could beat the game using only SR classes, there is no way to get UR classes without spending premium currency to get, let alone max their max level. Second the interface when enhancing is not clear (where you need to click). Then when you select cards, the highlight can hardly be seen and could often miss click. Third, there is no way to get class card besides spending either game money or premium. Fourth, the special events are only for those you have beaten the game PLUS grind even more! The grind will bore you out quickly. Then what you got from clearing the event isn't worth the time spent. Last, even though UR classes have good stats increment, all of their skills require very high SP even though their effects are similar to R/SR classes. Overall it is a good game. However, don't believe that you could easily beat the game without spending any money unless you are dreaming.
We really enjoyed the game play, and the timing of the battle engine. Our only concern would be the lack of powers that the characters have, and the repeatabilities that play across the board. Other than that, great class selection, solid story, and has replay value.
Like the the difference classes easy to get new characters and story line needs to be more entertaining.
It's a pretty good rpg. Lots of classes, each class has 5 elemental versions: grass, fire, water, light,and dark. The farther you get in the game, the more things unlock, like opening those other two slots. There is a lot to this game. The only reason we didn't give it a 5 star rating, is because the job classes need a bit better balancing. Some way out power others. But other than that, a solid game, was worth checking out.
Even though you can switch people with existing party members, you can't seem to access the other two slots.
And that's not a bad thing, at all. If you're looking for a good 16 bit era rpg experience, this is the game for you. Would have given it 5 stars, but it's still given to some random crashes, not something we're used to seeing from Kemco's iOS releases. Overall, though– we're happy we gave this one a chance.
It's a simple version of the RPGs we use to play in the 90's.
Elio plays a lot like Final Fantasy Record Keeper. There isn't much to the game besides RPG battles and a lot of micromanagement in between. Within the first hour you'll recognize that the game is pretty grindy. There is no time delay cap but some vital resources do respawn in real time so as with games that have energy meters, you'll probably only want to play Elio a little each day so you don't have to grind as much. There are only a few classes but they each spawn at random, in a different element, and at a different tier. Thankfully, lower tier classes can upgrade. If you like RPG battles this is the game for you but it isn't Kemco's best offering.
Thanks so much for this amazing game make more like it kept us so content and we recommend to anyone. :) thanks kemco.
This game is similar to all those other collectible card/character/monster games, except it's single player rather than online. There's no PVP or worrying about not being able to compete because you don't spend money. There's also no silly energy system limiting how much you can play. It does have your standard Kemco game IAPs though if you wish, like especially powerful gear.
We love that they changed things up a bit from the usual games they make. Has the same story feel but it's a fun new kind of game. Especially with how many heroes and classes their are the use and switch up your team. Only wish is a bigger party then 4. But oh well. Hope this new gameplay system is used in future games.
We've played all of the free kemco games and bought 2 of the paid games. Elio -D/L(this game) and Band of Monsters are the only two kemco games that we haven't been willing to get to the end. This game is just too repetitive to be enjoyable. As well as the pay to win vibe it gives off.
It isn't bad enough to rate one star, but isn't very good. Customizations, as they try to sell it, is a joke. Disjointed "story." Really a mask for another pay to play game. Disappointed in this kemco game. They usually deliver decent to good, if pedestrian, games.
We're using a IPod Touch 5Th generation running 9.0.2 if that may help at all.
