Game has too many high value mistakes/errors do not spend your money here.
★★★★ Rick Rich 6/27/2026 v1.11.0
Takes too long to load despite the fact I have an insanely good chromebook for gaming.
★★★★ Zaid Ibrahim 6/27/2026
I purchased the 30-day Maple Special Membership. I was supposed to get a free hunt ticket daily with that membership. But I think after reaching level 70 or something the tickets stop coming. Nexon makes it so hard for me to raise this complaint in-game to get this issue resolved. Between this and other errors they've publicly admitted to, I wonder if people should really be playing and spending money on this game (they shouldn't).

shittest game ever, everything need topup
★★★★ Theodore Jones 6/25/2026 v1.11.0
I played when it first came out it was great but then some updates made it partly unplayable so I gave it awhile but still it is unplayable the load times are a joke and it constantly freezes while loading
★★★★ michael thomas 6/24/2026 v1.11.0
tutorial sucks. they black out the screen except what they want you to click so you have no idea what the screen your in even looks like.
★★★★ Brandon Glenn 6/24/2026
Original MapleStory was idle enough. I really don't understand why they did this. It's really simple: do the work, get the reward. Do people really exist who are such entitled turdpeople that they think they shouldn't have to do the work? Then they shouldn't get the reward! This is why we have so many jobs, and everyone is too damn lazy to even apply for them.
★★★★ Hovan Tan 6/24/2026 v1.11.0
Forgot to review when I played last time. Got a full refund of all purchases from the game. Those who know why will know why.
★★★★ Keaney Tiggy Chan 6/24/2026 v1.11.0
not really an idle game when you have to be on to earn more, tap constantly in events and tasks, and the low probabilities of successes is ridiculous. Very predatory gambling enticements.
★★★★ Ishwarya 6/24/2026
horrible game, ads kept interrupting my gameplay of other games that wers betterwhen I downloaded it it was terrible and I deleted it and ads interrupted me again and then you can't manually fight. It takes 10 mins just enter the game. This is a fighting game so manually fighting should be prioritised. The ads are so annoying so stop spamming them in my face.
★★★★ Trix 6/23/2026 v1.11.0
predatorial monetization
★★★★ A2C Leo Rico G Lasaga Jr PAF, 18AS 6/23/2026 v1.11.0

★★★★ Jasper Quek 6/22/2026
Weird game , not really maple from pre-bigbang. Weird skill tree and item drawing LOL really idling
★★★★ Amanda V 6/22/2026
As someone who needs good character creation to enjoy a game, putting every single cosmetic including hair and eye color behind a paywall is disgusting and predatory. would give this zero stars if I could. going to play a game that actually lets me customize my character for free.

1 HAVE NO IDEA WHY IT SAYS I HAVE LACK OF STORAGE I JUST DELETED SOME

always crush please fix
★★★★ Stephen Dykstra 6/20/2026
why does this game have to suck so much? I love how they always have to cheat...
★★★★ Jekiera Lucente 6/19/2026
I could already tell this was a bad app when the ad was AI I'm when you don't download this cuz usually AI apps are not good like they're so embarrassed of the actual game they decide to use AI
★★★★ Jeremy Byrnes 6/19/2026
nothing like the original, just recycled assets
★★★★ AK 6/19/2026 v1.11.0
**DON'T DO IT** level 0-80 is great. all the seratonin gains you could hope for. easy leveling, super cheap deals, "red leaf" summons every pull.....to get you locked in. then the game slows downnnn. unless you spend money ofcourse. I have 6 characters over lvl 90, 3 I spent money on, 3 were f2p. the $ players got way more red Leafs. now that I dont spend Any money, I get maybe 1 a month between all 6. game is a rigged money grab. dont waste your time or money. **DON'T DO IT.**
★★★★ Iosif Chi 6/18/2026
Desensitized game
★★★★ Jesse 6/18/2026
An over simplified version of MS with even more micro transaction tactics. Very boring gameplay and progression.
★★★★ Clarence Tse 6/18/2026 v1.11.0
This game is not F2P friendly at all.
★★★★ lee wai shing 6/17/2026 v1.11.0

★★★★ chris macdonald 6/14/2026 v1.9.2
wanted to play maple story again and saw this and got excited. downloaded and i got soft locked out of gameplay due to the setting icons placement in game.
★★★★ Joetje F 6/13/2026 v1.11.0
Does not have a reject all option to prevent selling your personal data.
★★★★ Jeff Tenessa 6/13/2026
the ads are endless and everywhere bro 🫩✌️
★★★★ Phuong Nguyen 6/12/2026
fun and nostalgic game for the fill but ads straight up show ai porn. not cool
★★★★ Janet Gershen-Siegel 6/11/2026 v1.11.0
Boring and weird, with unclear directions and goals. All games are mindless tapping and swiping, but this one revels in that.
★★★★ Mark Nelson Segovia 6/10/2026
pretty pay heavy game, I know its idle but a hard stuck in progression is bad even for an Idle
★★★★ Colton Bruce 6/10/2026 v1.10.1
enjoyed the game, played on launch and was grinding the ranks. spent way too much on the game for me to not be able to get back into my account after not playing for a while. every time i log in it starts me as a brand new character which is why im rating so low.
★★★★ Amber Parker 6/9/2026
I'm on a cromebook and I just CAN NOT play the game :[
★★★★ Gemyla (Gemyla) 6/8/2026
I'm trying to download it but it won't let me
★★★★ 김무현 6/8/2026 v1.10.1
Level 101 F2P: The game is over after you hit 100.
★★★★ Chenhao Chong 6/8/2026
why are the ads so cringe bru
★★★★ Danish Irham 6/7/2026
A bit boring, for me, due to no story quest, all-day grinding, too low XP to grind.
★★★★ Cody Floyd 6/7/2026 v1.1.2
crashes, poorly optimized, deleted my save when i took a break and came back to see if they fixed privously mentioned
★★★★ Amy Evon 6/6/2026 v1.10.1
BE WARNED: developers are not friendly to alternative Play store fronts. Play doesn't update any of my apps automatically, so I use a third-party Play storefront to manage this. The developers chose to voluntarily block this, meaning each update is agony. The game is fun, but not fun enough to justify that.
★★★★ Sarah Sanger 6/6/2026 v1.10.1
way too much going... print is extremely small...
★★★★ Jacqueline Harper-Simmons 6/5/2026
I absolutely hated the design and it kept giving me ADS every second.Don't play
★★★★ micah 6/5/2026 v1.10.1
So everytime I log in to the game it never let me play the game and it kept asking me to update even though I couldn't even play it so that is why it is the worst game I have ever downlouded. ):(
★★★★ captain mak sparrow 6/3/2026 v1.10.1
not everything is in dark mode
★★★★ Terrart M 6/3/2026 v1.10.1
the second i get on the game it starts to overheat my phone and my phone doesn't heat up that easily
★★★★ Rin DokiDoki 6/3/2026 v1.10.1
I cannot log in at all after server maintenance. error code: -9. uninstalled and reinstalled the game 3 times, the same error popped up.
★★★★ Arthur Dudka 6/2/2026 v1.10.1
weird.
★★★★★ Hendrick Febryanto 6/23/2026 v1.11.0
Battery still drains fast and phone overheat easily even at lowest resolution, 30 fps, and hide all effects. If this can be fixed, make it lighter and improve performance, also after almost reach end game i will re-write my review.
★★★★★ Summoner 4265 6/3/2026 v1.10.1
I like this game and I wish I could keep playing. But the constant crashes after the initial start makes the game look more like a complete waste of space and time. The classes, especially the Paladin, looks cool. But the crashes are constant and disappointing.
