Arcadia: Breath of the Land for Android

If you’ve played this type of game before, there’s lots that is comfortingly familiar. Lots of little steps to change class, dozens of types of currencies to advance different factors, lots of different leaderboards, daily events, a “marriage” system and Partner Dungeon. It’s a bit lacking in the polish step, but not uncommonly so. Typos in the guild quiz and bizarre (and incorrect) answers that haven’t been vetted by a native speaker. Attention dots that don’t clear, seemingly ever. Untranslated strings. We’ll see if those get addressed. What really makes or breaks these games is honestly not the gameplay or the graphics. Possibly surprisingly, it’s the chat. These games are chat servers with a game to give us something to talk about. If you get the players to engage with each other, your MMORPG will keep them coming back. The community I find is the difference between 10 days and a months with a game like this. So the tools to chat are important. The emojis should be plentiful and useful to talk to our fellow players with. The interface should be easy to use and unobtrusive. It should have good tools for blocking or contacting people. Here, it seems like they didn’t really do more than the minimum. It’s a 3/5 implementation. But the game is new and might fix these things. Again, we’ll see.

Game essentially plays itself, the only thing you can do on your own is switch out your pets, draw your gotcha draws and a few other things. Otherwise the movement, fighting and chats can all be done automatically

I was playing yesterday and today I log on to no player. I not down to start over.

It’s a good game but it’s too easy to level up like I’ve only been playing for like 2-3 days and am already lvl 96
