The verdict
A colorful, free voxel MMO dungeon-grinder that's fun early on, but the endgame grind, disabled marketplace and invasive anti-cheat sour many. Skip it if you hate grinding, pay-to-win or kernel anti-cheat.
Great for
Casual grinders who like chill dungeon-crawling, loot and many classes, and accept an aging game
Main risk
Endgame grind, disabled marketplace and an intrusive anti-cheat in a game that feels neglected
What changed in the last 30 days
27 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews cite the new XignCode3 anti-cheat, the disabled or paywalled marketplace, cheaters and bots, and growing P2W and grind. Fairly confident, since several recent reviews repeat these points.
