WonderKing

Don't just read reviews. I've been waiting this game for 15 years, it's not the same- but I've been enjoying it just as much.

TL;DR: They didn't revive WonderKing. They monetized its corpse. As someone who played the original WonderKing and reached level 120, this game feels like a hollow imitation of what it used to be. In one hour I reached level 69. The original took weeks to reach level 60, and every level felt meaningful. The game now has Auto Battle, Combat Power, countless enhancement systems, paid stat progression, automatic stat allocation instead of letting players build their own character, and an English localization that reads like AI-generated text. The music and art still evoke nostalgia, but everything else feels designed around modern free-to-play monetization rather than preserving what made WonderKing special. To me, this isn't WonderKing anymore. It's a nostalgia bait MMO wrapped around systems that feel generic. Devs, if you see this: please stop trying to turn every MMORPG into the same generic free-to-play slop. WonderKing deserved better.

You'd rather play Maple Story rather than this obnoxious game that falsely advertise their in game items such as costume combination with 10% chance of getting it but in reality it's less than 1% chance and would force you to spend real money, not only that but it promotes unfair gameplay by allowing a group of players "whales" to be exempted at using bug/exploits and even hacks. An incident where one of their "whales" has been permanently banned due to using exploits at getting their pink costume but after some time was unbanned, a lot of players has quit playing this game and it's mostly being played by few player using virtual machines, sandboxie, steam exploits with 2d games etc etc, basically it's like 1:5-10 ratio, what does it meant is one player is using multiple accounts using applications mentioned. It promotes AFK events which forces you to use your pc/laptop etc to be open for several hours or even days that harms the computer itself. If there's a bug that happened it usually takes several days/weeks or even worst months to get fixed. Classes are imbalanced, Shadow Attacker class is being used a lot due to it's unreasonable damage on bossing. And most of the contents are being held by a paywall, if you dont get into their platinum tier you'll basically be playing for lower contents of the game such as map restricted areas where if you don't have their platinum rings and potion you wont even survive. This game promotes multi-clienting. No multi-client, Almost few to none progress. Game is promoting gambling without a pity system, the recent pet gacha has very freaking low rates and spending real money on this game is such a waste. D O N O T P L A Y T H I S G A M E for your sanity's sake.

this game treats its player base horrible, there has been two occasions where the game has given out unlawful bans becuase of their bad systems, everything is litterally behind a pay wall where you have to pay with everything with real money, the hackers and macro player never get banned and constantly cheat but then you have the legit players who pour hours into the game and money and then they get unlawful bans

just looking at the game is a waste of time just look away and find something better... i hear maplestory classic is coming to beta test soon go try that if you can instead

Why did you ruin this game I loved as a child. What the f*ck is this auto play hell

Been waiting forever for this game to come back, lurking multiple revival projects, constantly checking for updates and finally a revival... or so I thought. Heard awful feedback so I waited but finally decided to play... Oh boy what an absolute butchering this was. This is as far as it can be from the game I played 16 years ago. Full of AI generated crap, p2w (cash shop, combat power, the works) and auto play. Some modernization and QoL sure but this is just rubbish, I cannot even fathom how the devs F'ed this up as much as they did. It's soulless and uninspired. Truly wasted potential. For old players, please do yourselves a favor and never touch this turd. Do not ruin your nostalgia and memory for Wonderking. I hope we get the proper revival we deserve.
