EmberQuest.io

Okay here’s an honest review now that I’ve played the game for a few weeks. First off the app for iPhones is totally broken. You’re better off running the game from chrome or some reasonable browser. The app will destroy your battery in like 20 minutes, and you constantly get disconnected. Running it in a browser isn’t that much better but it is better. What’s the point of an app if it doesn’t work or isn’t optimized for connectivity issues? I’ve been advised to turn down graphics settings. Ok but when the game crashes and reloads it doesn’t save your preferences. Same thing goes if it’s played in a browser. Every time the game crashes and reloads you have to go back into the settings and turn off the graphics again, even though it shows shadows turned off, they aren’t. You have to toggle it every time, which is incredibly often. I would love to praise the game for what it does right but it’s basically unplayable. I have an older iPhone 6s that runs RS3 and other games like Eterspire and even OSRS just fine. Why this game turns my phone into a red hot mess after 20 minutes is beyond me. It constantly crashes and I die over and over again not from a lack of skill as enemies have patterns and you can dodge most attacks, very cool btw, but the game just lags and crashes no matter how I’m playing. It’s a very cool concept but sheesh I cannot actually play the game for more than fifteen minutes at a time. The good? It’s an old school open world mmorpg with gathering, crafting, party system, world bosses, constant events, different classes and pvp. It has MAJOR potential to be a serious contender in its genre. However it is dang near useless on mobile. It obviously was rushed and needs serious work to function on mobile correctly. I could go on and on, like you can’t easily check the pvp status of zones you’re in because the pvp event banner cuts off the icon you gotta click to check pvp status. You can’t preview items that vendors sell, which is just lousy design. Trying to just view stats on gear you loot is buggy as hell. I’m rooting for this game but as it currently sits it’s just useless to play on mobile.

Has potential, needs base building and some tweaks. It’s hard to manage inventory without storage.

This game reminds me a bit of OG Runescape and classic WoW. Very approachable with a re-designed quest system from the original which is a lot more user friendly. The new map is also a lot better with elevation changes, different biomes and just a better world feel to it. Easy game to throw up on a tab while you’re doing other things!
