Starting a Game

When you start the game, you can pick a character from four different character classes, the Slayer, Blader, Ranger or Druid. Each of these classes has its own plus sides. For example, the ranger is better for fighting over a distance, while the Slayer has higher armor proficiency, making him harder to beat in a man to man battle. Throughout your adventure you will be able to find or buy better equipment, and your characters will become stronger when you defeat more enemies and gain more experience. The game looks absolutely stunning. When you kick off one of the special combos or spells, the screen will light up with all the special effects used to make this game look visually beautiful.

Bugs, Crashes, and In-Game Currency

While I was playing this game, it crashed numerous times. Luckily, the app automatically send a bug report to the developer when this happens. (It asks you nicely before you boot up the game again).

When you start the game, you will receive 1000 zenonians, which you can use to buy new weapons, armor or other equipment with. You can buy more of this currency in game, where 1000 zenonians will set you back $0.99, yet 160,000 will cost you $99.99. Of course tons of options in between are available for you to pick from. Lastly, there is also a multiplayer mode, which pits your hero to heroes from all over the world. You will team up with another hero in an exciting two-on-two battle. You can of course also battle in the classic one-on-one battle mode, or compete in the Abyss for all kinds of loot drops.
