Gameplay
Gameplay
Players create a character and choose a race. Available races are Human, Elf, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Orc, and, in the latest update, Kamael. Each race specializes later in different classes, such as warrior, mage, and archer. The player progresses through the game by taking quests and killing mobs. The vast majority of the game, though, is afk grinding. The game is set in the same world of Lineage II, originally released in 2003, and features instanced dungeons, player versus player (PvP), clan wars, raids and a series of quests to advance the storyline. However, the gameplay has been specifically adapted to better fit mobile devices by Netmarble; for example, quests are automated, with the character executing them automatically and even killing enemies alone after selecting a quest.
