The verdict
A charming, deep turn-based tactical MMO that's free to try, but account registration, phone verification and a thin player base wreck it for many. Skip if you want easy solo play or a hassle-free login.
Great for
Fans of Final Fantasy Tactics-style combat who enjoy grinding, crafting and playing with a guild or friends
Main risk
Ankama account/phone verification blocks you from playing, or inactive accounts get archived without warning
