Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Although Ive played tons of different games Im definitely more interested in the more grindy games that takes longer to complete and this is the perfect app for that although it has around a couple thousand active users the fan base is extremely active and very open to talking Overall its a amazing game.
The game is great, we enjoy playing it, its super fun, but there is one problem thats bugging us, everytime we use the /editon command and when we try to move a button our game crashes, ive seen a lot of people complaining about this and it seems its only on IOS, please fix it.
We used to play a lot, but now when we try to log in the music plays, it says logging in for almost a minute and then crashes. We miss playing.
Beautiful game many people say it costs a lot but it really doesnt and it hardly pay to win.
We like it, just costs a lot to look pretty (aka cosmetics and shards) but otherwise we cannot complain. The mods are on it and the community seems really nice because of that. It takes a while to learn the game but that's kinda the fun, playing and discovering new things on your own :p we've been playing for maybe a week now an yeh we can say we enjoy it.
Here they are (especially cave bats we quit the first time we played because we genuinely couldn't find them) the magic system is super fun but also very expensive and hard to figure out on your own, especially because each shot you can cost you from 10gold to like 100 it's not much but its enough to be a problem at lower levels. Our biggest issue with the game we personally have is the slow creep of ptw sneaking in. Paying for faster progression or skins is absolutely fine by us but it's getting to where you cant get to high levels without paying or doing the same thing for weeks to level up. We love the game we really do and honestly, it could become one of those games everyone has at least played a few hours like Minecraft or BTTD. Just please don't let the pay-to-win take over, the reason those games are so good is because it's not a requirement it's just to help or a cosmetic. Also, side note please make a seperate chat for player-to-player trades it's extremely annoying when it's filled with trade offers and it can become incoherent from it.
The game was fun and had great potential to grow and really become something even bigger. Until you play it for a day and then try to get back on the next day and it wont load past the main sign in screen now thats a huge problem and disappointment, especially if you buy stuff and now cant even play the game. Id say thats just a cash grab, but Im not sure its intentional and more so just a bug hopefully.
This is even better than Runescape. There is a payed membership, but it isn't necessary buy it to enjoy the whole game. Graphics and music are amazing! This also suprusingly takes up little storage space. We highly recommend this game.
We understand they want to bring major updates slowly but we cant understand why that much slow… They don't bother to fix some bugs like monster stuck inside walls and messing overall grinding. We mean look at version history. It feels like they don't care about game at all. People pay for this game with membership and patreon. Please hear us.
Surprised it wasnt already a thing great game though.
As somebody who still actively plays wow this game is great, kind of reminds us of runescape, has great controls, very basic mmorpg with crafting and leveling, has full loot pvp options where u can gain big gear, easy to pick up game would recommend.
Do the chicken gods approve of us.
Game is decent. Needs a few more things to make it great. Lots of potential. How bout pvp n search bar for bank. Few new skills that say coming soon.
Just like the title says we have to delete our account and Im lv108 and we are on lone wolf but we cant do what we want to and its just sad because this the only good game we have on our iPhone But over all good game.
We really like this game a lot. Theres still a decent sized community after a few years of being out which is a plus. There are some things that could be tweaked here and there but the biggest thing is the chat/trade system. Theres only one public chat and it gets spammed with people wanting to trade/buy/sell. We think a system where you could set up items for sale would be super beneficial. There wouldn't be so much spam in world chat and it would be easier for people to make gold. Overall a fun game and ill change our rating to 5 stars when theres a better system for trading/buying/selling.
The game is definitely fun and theres a lot to do. The mechanics are simple to learn and jump right into, which we appreciate. The only thing Im disappointed in is the in app purchases. Most of them seem pretty expensive, especially for this quality of game. Some of their costumes can cost you $50+ which doesnt really make sense to us. We think they would make just as much money, if not more if the pricing made more sense. For now we will continue to play it and see if its worth spending the money on. As of now only the pass seems semi worth it, but it is a subscription. We think $4.99 a month would be much more appealing. But good game otherwise.
Save time we were just got banned for violating the rules we dont talk dont trade we just play. We were trying to get geared up in a dungeon for hours fell a sleep, happens a lot when we play games, woke up to start killing some monsters account was banned. After weeks of playing killing monsters in a game that the only thing to do is kill monsters is something that gets you banned just dont play this game.
Whenever you get to the name portion we type our name in correctly and then it makes us do it again and again so we couldnt even play the game.
Kho ti khon khng l do v l ht sc. Khng nn chi game ny. Nh gi 1 sao. Account lockout for no reason at all. Should not play this game. 1 star rating.
This is a very simple, easy, and fun game. You dont need to play consistently, we got it 2 years ago and play it on and off. Lots of updates and holiday events which make the game constantly enjoyable and always give new challenges to face. Our only criticism is that it takes a long time to grind farming levels which are extremely important, if not necessary. It took about two weeks to level up from 75 woodcutting to 80. The issue was almost fixed with the inclusion of the farming rune but it takes so long to get to the level necessary to craft it it is almost obsolete at that point. We also wish the in game currency was easier to obtain, but we understand that it is one of the only ways for the game to make profit without ads (which is one of our favorite parts) if there was a way to transfer a high amount of gold for a low amount of shards, but not the other way around, it would still be a challenge but easier to get them (e.g. 100 million gold can be traded for five shards, but five shards are not traded in for 100 million gold, preventing people from buying a few shards but making a lot of gold, so people who dont want to pay can still get shards without it ruining the economy).
Its Grindy and there is a decent community. Overall its a fun game and we suggest it.
We've played many hours during early version of the game and love to see how much it has grown as the developer continues to update. However controller support on iOS would be amazing and might even convince us to pay for the membership. Hope to see controller support soon.
Fantastic experience. But PvP needs some improvements as well as the games promotion.
We used to enjoy the game until we got banned for reasons unknown.
We played the beta when it came out and we grinded like crazy to get up to like 70 some level character. When the full game released every bit of our progress was lost. We tried logging in with every available option and every one is at level 1. We have a feeling that during the beta our account wasnt linked to anything because it never asked us to link anything. And then upon release we lost every bit of progress we grinded hours and hours for. We havent played since. If theres a way to recover it we would love the devs to reach out. We love the game but we wont be starting over after that kind of grinding.
There are no more seasonal events because the developers want to control the market. It says in the description pictures there are seasonal events. Thats false advertisement. Also our favorite reason for playing & coming back to this game every few months was to enjoy seasonal events and getting lucky enough to obtain a seasonal weapon/item. Now all of that anticipation is gone due to greedy developers. Anyway we dont play anymore we just check in to watch the game die. Bring back events. Or else stop false advertising seasonal events. Thank you.
Cant seem to fish no matter what we try or how maynt tutorials we watch on YouTube.
We personally love the game we just wished being able to get stuff would be a lot easier to do thats our only complaint but besides that we love the game.
Now lemme tell you why, ive been playing a while now and we wont lie its a grindy game and its not for the lazy gamer, and it gets boring sometimes but the friends you make along the way and the little mouments like trolls in the chat or some noob dying to a mob or going in pvp they are all worth it and we hope this game keeps growing so im excited to see what it could become, now we could go on and say a lot more but the important thing is we love this game and thats all that matters.
Great game, but theres a significant gap between those who have played the game for many years and those who are starting that makes it annoying for a newer player to make progress without being online 24/7.
The logo or icon of this very deceiving.
REMOVE THE P2W YOU CANT EVEN ADD THE BOW UPDATE OR ANYTHING YET U WANT MORE MONEY FROM US AND YOU RUIN THE WHOLE POINT OF THE MMO.
We have been playing for a long time now and just wanted to leave a 5 star review.
You guys are currently running a promotion on gems. Ive made multiple purchases sense we started playing. After our most recent purchase we didnt receive the 15% bonus and Im wondering how to get that taken care of. Ive enjoyed playing this game. Its currently been out for over 4 years now. Unlike many other game, the scammers stay away from here and the community is fun.
Discord banned us for reporting criminal activities.
Lvl 173 and lvl 100 monsters can still kill us the amount of time spent playing 2b billion xp points amd for what so our stats dont mean a thing this game just wants money this games stats are worse than some older rpg games we know.
If youre looking for a fun mobile rpg then youll love spending your free time playing CoA. Its a simple game still in development which will give you the chance to watch it grow into an even better version of its self. The controls are great for playing on your mobile device and you can accomplish every aspect of the game without spending a single cent! The mods and devs are actively involved within the large community of this game and youll love to be a part of it all.
Downloaded a few days ago and cant stop playing. Nice tribute to throwback gaming.
We picked this game up a while back in its infancy, just as something casual. We were hooked, even back then with minimal skills available. As we started to cap out we put it down and returned only to find a lot more content. Maps included, wiki linked in game with pretty extensive content, magic and range added as well as skills to support the new mechanics. This game is awesome, very much like a casual RuneScape for iPhone its super easy to get into and little research required to know where to progress. The community is active and extremely helpful, its well designed and the developers we hope continue on the same path because they are nailing it thus far.
Short and sweet Broken in game economy, supremely toxic community from creators down, repetitive gameplay (walk a circle, hold attack while spamming potions, spam pickup, repeat), broken event drop rates that border P2W and over priced cosmetics. Elaboration Monsters have low drop rates due to a shared rarity drop pool and all monsters/bosses drop one item per kill. There are three rarity categories and each usually have four to five items per category that you must roll against, then roll again for the item in that category that will drop. Bosses share this method along with a spawn timer. Bosses work on a system that allow for the player who does the most damage to get the drops. This is where the broken economy and toxic community come in play. High level (90+ usually with best in slot gear) characters farm every boss that has any loot worth farming. From the third boss of the game to the final they wait or server hop and kill steal, taking the lootor lack thereof/opportunity for drops with them. Numerous times we asked/attempted to take turns on bosses. If we shared a language we were usually flamed/told kys and too bad. No report function means you must use discord. We wont even speak on that If you manage to kill bosses AND get a very rare drop you do not need, you must contend with people only wanting to trade (usually things you do not need), people attempting to dramatically low ball then flame you for refusing, or having the value not exist any longer. The economy changes by the second as discord and in game chat (the only two ways to communicate) are consistently flooded with posts to buy, sell and trade. You will post selling something for 30M (thirty million gold) and within seconds have twelve others post selling it for less all the way down to 9M. It is even worse when you wish to purchase as your 30M offer is met by insults followed by three others offering 50M. Buying also forces you to contend with people only accepting the paid currency Shards or wanting a different item of equal or more value/rarity. Past events consist of playing the game to obtain event keys used to open the event chest. Killing monsters or leveling up a skill will grant event keys at random. Between two people using over ten thousand keys with three chances per key, we obtained zero very rare loot out of the five possible (one being a non-tradable pet). During the time of this event the very rare items went from 100M to 10M to 150M, then we quit playing the game. We watched the Shards go from 150k to 70k per five during this time, too! We made it to level 95/120, collected every non paid pet in the game (including Umbra, the pet drop from the dragon boss), and cannot recommend this game. Wish we had that time back! _()_/.
The game is good. But needs better bosses. Need bigger and more maps. Needs bosses that 100 players can raid it together. Need more items and at least 6 different classes to choose from. But its a cool game for now. But it can become a great game in the future.
Started playing this game when it first came out and fell in love been playing it ever since.
This game is really good, has decent graphics, cool gameplay, but after some time the game gets extremely slow and boring, why? Because every single drop in the game is at least uncommon, rare or very rare, even uncommon takes a couple of hours to drop the items. Im lvl 130 and even with good equips we grind for more than 4-5 hours and still not manage to drop the items that we want, this because every item has a very low drop chance, so if u want those items you need to pay a lot of gold for them. The gameplay is basic but very functional, you attack, drink potions or use items, there is no skills whatsoever. Also the game is extremely light and almost dont use battery, we spend like 10 hours using less than 60% of our battery. In the game they have jobs for each thing, such as fishing, smithing, mining etc.. They have a ok progression as takes a lot of time but is fun to increase. Final thoughts If you like to grind a lot and have something to kill time, this game is perfect, but after some time the progression gets near to impossible as is really hard to level up your jobs. Also, the game provide a very friendly environment, so you can make some friends and kill some monsters together and there is basically no bugs in the game with a nice experience.
We like free roam games and theres a lot to do which is hard to find in mobile games.
This game is the perfect game, but its definitely missing the multiplayer aspect. Like, its multiplayer, you can trade stuff, use the chat bar, but cant add friends or invite to group. Adding guilds & grouping would make this game a 5/5 for sure.
So we just started playing today and after playing for an hour or two we turned off our phone and went somewhere but when we came back we couldn't log back in. We mean the game was great and we enjoyed the simplicity of it all but now we can't get back in.
This is a super fun, simple, and casual game with extremely friendly players. You can stop playing and easily start where you picked up. Although there is basically no story line, leveling up your combat skills, gathering, and crafting skills will keep you hooked. It might be tough to get into it but its very rewarding and challenging enough to keep you on your toes. Unfortunately, we recently decide to part ways with the game for a few reasons: (1) As an Indie game, its still developing and adding content. It can feel stagnant or empty at times. (2) Shards are extremely expensive but we guess thats how mobile games work. Although, we did buy a lot of shards and to support the creators. (3) Wiki isnt updated enough to give you all the information on items or people. (4) It was consuming a lot of our life because we were so obsessed playing on a daily basis. It really is fun! (5) Most of the game you will be playing alone. Its easy to meet people but its unlikely that youll do things together. Our feedback would be to incentivize the partying system to make it more collaborative, add more cosmetic content, and incentivizing the patreon system. It makes no sense to not give shards on a monthly basis to patreon supporters or even certain exclusive pets or items. If you have a subscription system (example: $5 a month, obtain 250 shards), Im sure youll make much more consistent income that you can invest back in the game! Many players Ive talked to supported this. Despite this, this was one of the best mobile games Ive ever played. We loved the simplicity aspect and the content kept us busy. We wish the creators all the best and maybe Ill join again when theres more content.
Your game is amazing we love playing it but if you could change the wiki so we can se the drop rate and not just rare very rare and others that would be amazing.
If youve ever played Runescape then youll love this game. The community, Mods and Devs are great. Very interactive with everyone to keep us updated on whats going on. Come try us out and play the new magic skill. – Death.
