About this game

Step into Esperia, a fantasy world full of magic—a lone seed of life meandering among the sea of stars. And on Esperia, it took root. As the river of time flowed, the once all-powerful gods fell. As the seed grew, each branch sprouted leaves, which became the races of Esperia.

You will play as the legendary mage Merlin and experience strategically tactical battles. It's time to dive into an unexplored world and embark on a journey to unlock a hidden mystery together with the heroes of Esperia.

ANYWHERE YOU GO, MAGIC FOLLOWS.
Remember, only you can guide heroes to pull the sword from the stone and learn the truth about the world.

Explore Ethereal World
Lead the Six Factions to their Destiny
• Immerse yourself in the captivating realm of a magical storybook, where you can singlehandedly explore the world. From the shining fields of Golden Wheatshire to the luminous beauty of the Dark Forest, from the Remnant Peaks to the Vaduso Mountains, journey through the wondrously diverse landscapes of Esperia.
• Form bonds with the heroes of the Six Factions on your journey. You are Merlin. Be their guide and help them become who they were meant to be.

Master Battlefield Strategies
Conquer Each Challenge with Precision
• A hex battle map allows players to freely assemble their hero lineup and strategically position them. Choose between a bold strategy centered around a powerful main damage dealer or a more balanced team. Witness different outcomes as you experiment with various hero formations, creating an engaging and unpredictable gameplay experience in this fantasy adventure.
• Heroes come with three distinct skills, with the ultimate skill requiring manual release. You must time your attack at the right moment to disrupt enemy actions and seize command of the battle.
• Various battle maps offer different challenges. Woodland battlefields offer strategic cover with obstacle walls, and clearings favor rapid assaults. Embrace the distinct strategies that allow a variety of tactics to thrive.
• Master the use of flamethrowers, landmines, and other mechanisms to triumph against your enemies. Skillfully arrange your heroes, strategically utilizing isolating walls to turn the tide and reverse the course of battle.

I don't know how to fully express how much I've enjoyed this game the past month. My biggest praise goes to the art direction and music. And the story/writing, despite some predictable/lazy parts, has been an enjoyable journey so far. It doesn't shove ads and microtransactions to your face, like most other similar games I've tried. It feels like playing a pocket version of FFXIV, which I absolutely adore. More than happy to support this game with purchases here and there if they keep it up.

So, time to rate this game... I'm a F2P player, and I was so happy when I finally reached max level of heroes! I hit my first top 15 and so on... But it didn't felt like an end, because I had equipment, towers, AFK progress and events to max out as well... Until one day... My server was "Connected to the district" and completely ruined my progression, it forcefully skipped EVERYTHING. Towers, equipment, AFK progress... What's the whole point in keep playing if I literally cannot feel progression

great game, love playing it, I just hate that all hair and clothing items have only one colour pallette and nothing can be chanced, we have cat ears in a black colour but a lion's tail in wheat brown. nothing can match if we don't get more colours on fashion items without needing to pay a fortune. Edit: previous opinion still stands but now the game won't even load past 50% for the past 2 days in a row. they said they fixed it but they haven't.
