Free to play

US Steam price, checked 1 h ago

The verdict

A free, grindy Metin2-style MMORPG from a tiny team, with nostalgic mob-farming but rough animations, a thin population and a cash shop. Skip it if you want polish or story.

Great for

Metin2 veterans who enjoy mindless mob grinding, upgrading gear and player-run markets

Main risk

Repetitive grind, brutal upgrade odds and a cash shop in a game with few players
