It is decent for a phone game, but I am uninstalling because the main storyline quest forces PvP by the time you reach the second town, and I despise PvP. If PvP is in an RPG, it should be optional, not forced. There are some minor bugs, pop-ups covering menus, kills not counting towards quests, etc, but nothing game breaking in what I found.

It's a decent, mindless grind for the sake of grinding type of game. However, the navigation controls are horrible and the touch joystick for moving doesn't move around the screen, forcing you to keep your thumb in an awkward location. Barely any info provided in-game and completing quests relies on way too much RNG, as monsters you need only sporadically appear. There's also a huge difficulty jump around level 90sh, where mobs suddenly start chunking your HP in one or 2 hits (I was a Mystic).

Love the look and feel of this game. Unfortunately, it's not balanced, especially for a pure magic user. There's a lot going on, quest-wise, too much. Being able to say Accept to any number of quests will leave you permanently sidetracked. Some limitations are in order. Monster level scaling should be implemented to some degree, particularly equipment. Otherwise, its a good game.
