Your Character (3 out of 5)
Each player in the game can level their character and improve statistics such as attack, health, defense, energy and stamina. Each of these statistics can improve the player’s performance in the game. The most important statistic is energy which is used to complete missions in the game. Energy is the first statistics players will want more of as it is lost doing missions.

Battles/Alliances (3 out of 5)
Most Facebook RPGs feature some sort of battle against other players and this game is no different. You will be paired against players your own level so there’s some fairness in the game unlike other RPGS on Facebook where you fight against all different levels. As you win battles you’ll gain combat ranks. A nice part of the battle section is you can also fight NPC bosses so if you have an alliance this might be something you’ll want to do. You can create an alliance by sending Facebook friend requests out. The game currently doesn’t offer a whole lot of gifting options for your friends who play.
General Game Play and Conclusion (3 out of 5)
