What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players are divided on this game. Supporters praise the smooth gameplay, engaging story, and addictive RPG mechanics, while critics highlight serious issues including a predatory gear upgrade system, rampant botting that has damaged the economy, pay-to-win elements, poorly designed raids with toxic communities, and security concerns with account hacking and in-game currency exploits. The game appears to have solid combat fundamentals but is hampered by monetization practices and endgame problems that frustrate many players.
Turned out to be predatory korean trash.... Sadly it had potential to be something better.4 found this helpful
Tried it once long ago and after reading into it more, there's no need to engage with p2w/timegated systems to access good top-down ARPG content. There is no shortage of good ARPGs that can be had for a few bucks.3 found this helpful
AVOID AT ALL COST3 found this helpful
Game is fun but i have been left playing by myself lately as my friends have either quit or moved on to other static groups and playing alone in an MMO is not really fun. I don't regret all the time i've spent playing as most of it has been enjoyable but it's just time i move on to something else. If you have a friend or two to jump into the game with there is tons of fun to be had, the combat is amazing the raids are fun and they have drastically reduced the amount of daily things you have to do to keep progressing. Overall i'd give Lost Ark a 8.5/10
Recommend, only for those who understand the nature of this game. It's free to play at the beginning. It will allow you to play for 40 hours or more to go through the main story and sidequests. You get to explore and absorb the lore of the game. Great character creation. Great combat. Manageable UI/menu, may need to adapt. Average or better lifeskill system. Ok, map & navigation. Just enjoy the experience the game gives for fre, but don't set any lofty ambitions towards endgame goals. DO NOT RECOMMEND, if you do not know that there is an endgame paywall, where progression is heavily monetized. Backend fee structure is their revenue source, quite heavily loaded with their difficult gear progression. May seem unfair, but that is what a lot of these companies use as their financial models.
