The games censor is ridiculous
I would give this game 5 stars, but the censor in the chat is beyond ridiculous. I can’t even say words like service or censor or other words that aren’t even bad words. It’s like the censor was designed by people who don’t even know basic English let along how to even implement a proper chat feature. I can deal with swear words being blocked, but when you gatekeep my ability to just have a basic conversation, then we have a problem. A lot of the players on the game are sick of how aggressive the censor is. Fix the issue if you even care about your players in the slightest.
boring
dont waste your time. boring with no customization just clicking buttons. u dont have to think at all. no strategy involved or anything. i dont mind spending money but the packs are overpriced and the rewards you get arent worth it. $50 for one costume set that barely gives you any power.

Literally just any other idle mobile game slop being pushed right now. Game feels nothing like MapleStory. The art looks like if asked AI to replicate MapleStory. Just flat out boring and uninspired.
Overhyped
Movement is really difficult. You have to spend a good amount of time, in an idle game, to unlock auto play or pay money
Generic
Generic idle game with Maple skin made through MS Paint. Does not feel like MS at all.
Why
Whoever thought the controls in this game were a good idea does not need to be making decisions. I hate having a joystick in the middle of the screen to move the character.
Worst game ever + pay 2 win
VERY WORST GAME EVER + PAID ME 100$ TO INSTALL THE GAME, DO NOT RECOMMEND
Number of Servers???
Why would you release a game, only have 7 servers and then have a warning Everytime I go to create a character on that server that says “warning: this server has been open for 2 days it will be difficult to catch up in progress”……like okay that’s fine….every server has been open multiple days or is full. As a new player why do you want me to do? I’ll just uninstall lol.
No rewards
Pre saved for the starting rewards to find out I got nothing?? No Zak helm???
Can’t progress past 3-8
The game was going good, but for whatever reason the devs take away the ability to auto skill and the big green slime on this level is can’t be defeated. If you guys can’t even make a proper Maplestory game then do us all a favor and get off the App Store. It’s a waste of our time and a slap in the face to the Maplestory community.
Weird game
Knock off version for sure
Cash grab stay away
1/5
Just a generally badly made game
The touch response is unresponsive in every menu/popup in the game. The movement controls are so bad to the point you can run and jump at the same time. Which you need to be able to do to progress very early on, so you’re forced to pay at least $0.99 to activate auto run to continue. And this doesn’t even remove ads. And basically zero character customization.
This game is more so a poorly made clicker game than anything.

disappointed after all those hypes
Very cheap made idle game by such big company?! Cheap made and less idle than “warrior and dungeon” there are also another maplestory like game forgot the name is also way better! Lost interest less than 30min into game! Hoping it gets better if I spend more time in it
WHY
Why are all the maplestorys on phones made to be afk and auto battle. It takes away all the fun from the game.. which is playing it. I’ve been waiting for this to come out for awhile because a vertical MapleStory sounded awesome. This is trash.
Uhhh
No skin tone options nor hair color options when making a character? Hard pass.
Auto battle
Very strange to force you through the entire beginning of the game automatically hitting enemies, then just turn it off with no clear way of turning it back ok.
Eh too trash feeling
Lacks the wasd control and community vibe. Half the game plays itself for you how lame
Wtf
I did the preorder and didn’t get any of the promised zakum gear! Half the reason I even signed up for the pre download was for that gear and I don’t get it?
