The verdict
A free, nostalgic 2000s anime MMORPG with great music and class variety. The Steam version is plagued by launcher, anti-cheat and login errors, plus bots and P2W; skip it if you want a smooth start.
Great for
Nostalgic MMO veterans who enjoy slow grinding, build crafting and cute sprite art, and can tolerate troubleshooting
Main risk
The game may not launch (launcher, Easy Anti-Cheat, registration errors), and it's bot-ridden and P2W if it does
What players love
Huge class and build variety
Mentioned in ~1 in 8 positive reviews
