Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
A lot on the screen and some stuff should be bigger and some smaller and we feel the option for zooming in closer to your character should be an option and we would love for non idle controls to be bigger as well because they can be difficult to hit but other then that Im loving it so far.
Great game just need controller support Please add in next update.
Would take the game to a whole different level when bossing because tapping the screen can be a pain.
Thank you for such a wonderful experience and game. Thank you for your service.
We love this game,there are many perks such as being able to level up to 300 so you can still have something to do and not have to be bored of the game.Since we have been playing h to is game so much we recommended it to our brother so now he plays it and he recommended it to our mom and dad so now we all play this game as a family plus right now if you get the app and play theres a hyper burning event!!Which means usually you would level 3 times if you levels once but right now you can level 5 times if you level once! The only downside is that we think it takes a really long time to level but thats it we would definitely recommend this game.
Handheld MapleStory is what Ive always wanted in 2005. Here it is 20 years later and its awoken something in us. We do not have the time to spend 8 hours in front of a PC like we did back then. So Im grateful to have the opportunity to relive some nostalgia.
So we try to make a character and it just says waiting for response and we tried every thing and they all dont work so pls help us pls.
Alright and pretty good recovery.
This game is the best game ever! It is so cute and appropriate, we recommend this game to 4+ Have a nice day.
They did a great job bringing this game into the mobile space! So happy we can play this on our phone and on the go! Having a blast! Wish it was cross play.
This game reminds us of Monkey quest, which is same as maple story, with its 3d layout and characters models and boss battle that is similar to it. Im sad that Monkey Quest is gone. But this game is worth playing besides of the amount of megabytes, this game is worth if you want to have a 2d quest scrolling game that is playable on iOS devices and computers. We give this game 4/5+.
We like the regular game, its fun! But can you please put the summer update on the tablet or phones just like on the Windows PC please, thanks.
Cute graphics, but its so overpriced, it will probably shut down in future bc of that. No matter how much you whale.zz.
Alway be our our favorite game even its a mobile verson.
The fact that the game is littered with obvious bots is killing the vibe. We refuse to put money into this game because there is no point in building up when everything on your expedition is just sitting there taking up the space of a real player. It makes it hard to progress. Im on our way out of this game if this is not resolved.
Why dont we have a Mac version yet, we know we can play the iPad version but its missing so many features and our Mac for some reason gets super hot when we play MSM on it.
We grew up with maplestory and coming back has been awesome, one of our favorite games on App Store. Lots of micro transactions later, Im still here because its fun and constantly updating and adding new characters. 5/5, 10/10.
We loves the game, but incase Im korean, we hope the korean version to be added in the game too.
There are a-lot of great things about Maplestory M . Sadly one thing they never fixed was the games constant crashing , Ive used many devices including tablets for the game and it doesnt matter how up to date the device is the game continues to crash. Sadly this has been a day 1 issue with multiple if not all accounts in the game. One simple fix would make the gameplay that much more enjoyable , no more crashing during raids or during guild activities. Aside from the bot farms who congest the channels when you want to go auto battle the game is nothing but perfect in terms to the RPG aspects of the game. Hoping to see more collaborations events to bring back some of the OG players.
We think many people would get behind the idea that a reboot server would be very enticing. No P2W progression. Just pay for cosmetics and pets, etc. Just look how successful it is on PCMS.
Please bring back new class events. For returning or new players that missed the new class events, it's impossible to obtain pets and chairs. Dev should implement system when if a user create a character for a certain class for the first time, they should be able to do the event without expiration.
We used to be able to use our back bone controller to play this game and that was when this game was amazing. Please add back in that support code.
Lets face it great game, brings back so many fond memories. Lots of content and so many hidden gems. But the lack of full controller support from devices like backbone. Would make playing much more optimal! Who doesnt like handhelds thats dont utilize touch screen? Makes jumping easier, attacks, and visuals that much more appealing. Lets somehow get controller layout in game so we can really grind that exp.
Its a nice game but we keep flashed out.
We downloaded the game it moved then stopped and did not continue to move so we deleted the app.
The game was very studdery, the graphics were very sub par. The game did have a lot of color which is nice, however we found more negatives then positives.
Why is it that we cant go a few commander without crashing?? And the best part is that unlike regular expeditions, if you die the game doesnt take you back to the boss, it goes to the character select WHY?? Why would that be different and who thought it was a good idea, it makes no sense.
Why can't we play now? How long does it take to maintain the server.
Please we need controller support.
This game is great! We mainly play on pc but we wish this game had controller support. Unfortunately it doesnt.
One of our favorite games of all time. Maple.
The concept is very good, however it is practically impossible to obtain hairstyles, outfits, etc. Without using actual money. Also, little to no social aspects to the game.
If youve ever enjoyed MapleStory on PC then youll surely enjoy the mobile.
The loop for the story is a connection issue. But other than that everything is going smoothly. Games fun and still enjoy the nostalgia.
Ive noticed theres no Ludibrium or anything, is this being added later? We miss getting attacked by Balrog haha.
The mobile version is convenient but greatly lacking in many things of the old school maple. Where is everyone? Why can't we talk to npc's anymore? Why don't monsters drop equips anymore? Flashy does not equal good fun. Why so many money things.
The game is fun and reminds us of playing the pc maplestory as a kid, but autopilot kinda kills it. Should be something only offered past lvl 100 or something. Nobody actually plays they just log on to turn on the daily free 2 hour autopilot pass and close the game again.
Can we please get controller support within mapleM.
We have A couple Suggestions (1st we want to see more Characters come to the game and if possible faster then 4 months at a time) 2nd make the scrolls More a A chance to get one instead of 2%) (3rd make Leveling easier from 170-200 its so hard to get there it takes so long) so please Respond.
We love it very much, we also like how it auto quests for us, also we keep calling it maple city on accident.
We tried to contact customer service multiple times. Multiple times they do not understand us. The actual arcane system of transferring is bad. Even the warning system doesnt show up that we will b deleting 2 years of our life. We asked for help, and they refused to do anything. And we are not the only person who was a victim of this. Customer service is one of the worse ever.
Please add controller support for backbone. Limited functions currently. Add functions of r3, l3, skill placement on attack skill for x button, and d pad functions.
Great game but, the monsters? Theyre too cute to be defeated which kinda is disturbing to pet lovers or cat lovers or someone who adores cute things. Also, a bit creepy when the chef turns the cute monsters into food we suggest you make the look more mature and not too cute because some of them are too adorable to die It can make other viewers cry.
Just missing controller support! Im not a big mobile gamer cause we cant see half the screen behind our thumbs.
Hit level 106 in less than 3 hours. Macrod all our buffs, heals, and damage skills for ease; and couldnt find any part of this game worth actually traversing with some real goal in mind because we can just mass AoE with stupid survivability through content. What happened to Maple actually taking time and skill to traverse content and progress? Not to mention auto-battle which (with enough free ones) you can spend hours just FLYING through levels. Imagine a mobile Maple private server with maxed out exp and mesos, this is that. Snooze fest, and no real direction or incentive to do anything except mindlessly fly through levels, compete with whales, and collect nonstop free rewards that are better suited for 125+ that would normally be grinding hard for progression. On the bright side, if you only have like 30mins a day or less to game; you can progress so fast via this trash that you can get your silly little dopamine fix.
Maplestory M is an amazing short adventure. When you build up x amount of characters to 100 and enjoy each of their great array of abilities, it has you asking now what?! The content afterward is lacking any thrill, or substantial reward, especially for free to play players. The dungeons and activities that are available during 100+ are easy and insufficient in providing any reward that is worth the effort. This games main prize is its classes, which has striking abilities that captivates you as you hit every key level 30,60,100, but after you have achieved these levels, why would you continue with maple storys over priced store, when all that truly matters is hooking players enough to want to invest. In our opinion if they improve the process during 100+ to be more engaging and rewarding (providing things to improve characters appearance, since thats all players really want since the game becomes of ease) it would make us want to spend more and play more! Also, put things in the store that players want, why would players spend $40-70 to upgrade a weapon or gear when the content is easy enough, put better priced appearance items for free to play and pay to win players alike, add content that takes us to beautiful adventures, and cool co-op opportunities. If this is met it would easily be 5 stars, unfortunately its lacking Higher level/End Game content that feeds the players to continue on.
Please help a mobile gamer gal out and include controller support in upcoming patches.
Updated and logged us out of our account lost 50$ worth and 8 level 160 characters sad day.
Loved maple back when we were kid! But now we dont have time to play nor a computer! Would love it if they added backbone support. The idea of playing maple with a controller sounds so SO fun! So please add backbone support!!!!! Use the the D pad for skills or menus or something! Please.
We love this game, but it was recently discovered that the parent company of the original MapleStory game was manipulating probability rates on the success of using some items. MapleStory M has evidence of the same as well. We will be reporting the company to org in charge of video game transparency in hopes of an investigation on this as well. As we said before, this game is a ton of fun but finding out the truth about those dynamic probability rates really destroyed our trust in the developers.
