Got a key and would like to give it a shot, but it's impossible to even download the client!

Jesus, people play anything nowadays, huh? What a piece of crap.. Edit: Did they just rip off Aion's Asmodean wings?

It looks like a phone game. But even then I think phone games manage to have more going on. I don't understand what they think the appeal is.

Me and my girlfriend played this for no more than ten mins and where shocked with how bad it is. Combat seems very clunky and slow. The starting tutorial was really bad. The tut seemed like it was aimed at someone that has never played any games on the pc, like press w to move forward ect.

Well, seems you and your girl friend did act like someone who has never played any game on the PC. I mean...who in the right mind download this game, let alone playing it?!

Who plays these games? Seems like every week another piece of trash is released and yet we all still idly wait for a decent game to come out...

Quizzical

This sponsored content avoided the gushing superlatives that make it glaringly obvious that so many sponsored posts are marketing junk with no basis in reality. It ticked off the game's main features, though mostly making it sound like it tries to be a generic MMORPG. One screenshot and a video looked like they could even plausibly be typical gameplay, rather than the artwork only loosely affiliated with the game that fills so many ads.

Unfortunately, it wasn't able to say anything particularly interesting about the game. It has a link to the game's web site, saying there is more information there, but the site is pretty barren. The site does prominently display the system requirements, which oddly feature a recommended video card that is often slower than the listed minimum required.

I give the sponsored post a 7/10. Not good enough to be useful, but we've seen worse here. Much worse.

I don't get how asian countries can pump out so many MMOs seeming like they don't care about a return on investment but the west can't do the same. I mean I'm not in a hurry for a bunch of crap games, I just don't see how they put out so many games so quickly.

Well, it's like the Chinese ... cloths for exemple. They produce ......... A LOT in like no time , but very bad quality ! Cheap work-power , along with cheap & bad quality = bunch of crap games !

I know this is sponsored and all, but I played it for a bit and this game is just awful. Regular gamers, just bypass.

Lest we forget the "HOW"...cheap cheap labor force.Might also realize that over there ,they might actually be pushed to work hard while over here,coffee breaks and chit chat are the normal.Most games i have seen lately look like very fast generic games,they should be able to whip these out in a year,hence why so many.

You guys must really be desperate if you are taking money from garbage like this. I can't imagine a game like that has a massive advertising budget either. I think you might want to exercise a bit more discretion in what you sponsor. If you're going to sell out, at least make it worth it.

This is the same exact mmo as another f2p game I forget the name but it even had the same rabbit wave raid that was also called rabbit villa lololololz. the thing is that game required you to spend 100s of dollars to play even the earliest end game content. So I imagine this one does too.

Fail.
