I give it 3 stars for now because its above average and one of the best iOS RPG Ive played. I was an avid Diablo II LOD player so my experience and love for RPG comes from Blizzard.
Im writing this review for the developers as much as the players.
What makes Blizzard games so incredible is how well they understand the importance of multi player interaction.
Clans, chat, and easy communication between users does 2 things. First, it allows the fine details of the game to be explained by its users in real time within chats and private messaging. A forum is great but anything that causes a user to leave the game isnt ideal. Second, it allows users to create friendships and have human connection. This will bring people back onto the game simply to chat with their newfound friends. Blizzard did this well and in the IOS world Clash of clans did this well.
The solution I would offer:
In a perfect world, have chat rooms, custom private chat rooms for clan chats, user private messages so no matter where I am I can be contacted by friends, friends lists with notifications and lastly multiplayer maps. The more people in one game the bigger the map and the harder the monsters to kill, also higher luck.
To start, I would say adding public chat and friends lists. Shortly after incorporate multiplayer maps.
With these changes I would give it a 5 star. Look forward to seeing some of these changes!
P.s. I should mention the pricing structure is fine. People complain about the $.99 purchases, but I say a CD video game in the past would cost $20-$60 depending and we all reserved at GameStop and bought without a blink of an eye.
Ive spent about $10 so far at this game, for extra characters and mapping. I saw it as a donation to a great game developer. Heck maybe they will have the money and time to make the game better for everyone!
Ok peace!
