What players say

75% of 11,690 reviews are positive · 84% of 44 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the tactical, puzzle-like combat, distinct classes, and long-term progression. The most common complaints concern Ankama account creation and verification, login or connection failures, and characters being archived after long absences; some players also report weak newcomer guidance and difficulty finding groups.
