Janky game and very niche. Needs a lot of work still for its age. Another developer focusing on content expansion instead of mob and gear stat improvements. After learning about the lawsuit by Nexon, seem justified. Starting to realize that asian studios are the bane of the gaming industry, toxic trash.

I cannot praise this game enough, i put in 10 hours in the last 30 hrs lol. It was a rough learning experience but was also very fun to push myself. I can't believe this game is free to play, even if you are limited to one character slot. I happily paid for the full package and would have paid 3 times as much. Just stick with it, you get used to the slow methodical combat and every death has something new to teach you. Also the community is very nice and welcoming. 9/10 Just needs a couple more maps.

This game has taught me slurs for classes that i didnt previously know, ive had face-offs eith the french, spanish, american etc etc. and been molested by every one of them. I have lost hours worth of grinding to a twatty little british impersonator with a stick. 10/10 would recommend. :D
