FYI: This is NOT a single player game. You cannot make much progress or get great gear unless you participate in adventures during live streams or hosting your own adventures during your live stream.
A lot of people complaining about the game having premium currency and stamina system don't realise that this game is F2P and meant to be paired with an live stream and many viewers participating in Adventures to make this worth playing. You can watch ads and earn the premium currency every day (amounts vary) and collect enough to buy the optional skins and monthly account boosts that provide increased inventory limits, reduced Adventure cool downs and more..
It's still very rough around the edges, documentation for the game is slowly being completed thanks to a few members of the Discord community and there's really not a whole lot to do. And there's still a lot more they will and need to add like Clans/Guilds and other ways to play the game outside of being forced to do Adventures with loads of people.
It's designed as a social game to play with your Twitch community and have something to do between taking breaks from your other games or played alongside PokemonCommunityGame.
I wish I could give this a neutral recommendation because while the premise is interesting, it's still very early in development and missing features, requires a lot of balancing, adventures need tweaking, and so much more. I played for about a month and a half and did enjoy my time but there's a fair bit of toxicity, gatekeeping and negativity towards newer or lower leveled players with no real in-game way to get around it. I think the game will be a lot more interesting and better overall of Adventures were completely overhauled to adjust their balance on the number of players who enter the Adventure and now have some preset scaling that ends up excluding everyone level 75 or under almost immediately after it begins.
Garbage made to empty your wallet. It costs premium currency to progress meaningfully off the bat. Garbage with an interface worse than the original AdventureQuest. Also a stamina system, cmon dude.
* I enjoy the general aesthetics the game is using, the animations are basic but serve there purpose * When your on an adventure it feels like a D&D game with the streamer being the DM (More on this later) * It Can be a good time filler if your a streamer and have a reasonably sized community (though they added and adventure finder so if you don't have many viewers you may still get some more dropping in the adventure) * the arena is a novel idea * if you love the grind, this games for you! * can earn premium currency completing offers (website version only) * has some non-streamer required content (bounties/dungeons/arena/expeditions) * has an adventure finder! * even people just starting are useful at the start of adventures!
Con's
* The grind is real, bounties have limited energy per day and depending on the bounty in question can leave you waiting for over 5 min to watch an auto battle that may last a quarter. of the time you waited for it to start. * The resource gathering and crafting I found to be quite a chore and is not usable in adventures (even at a diminished capacity say only 10-25% as effective as it was in dungeons) * Playing in the free tier sometimes feels like your getting a sub par experience, however there is a Patreon you can subscribe too that gives you more perks (Worth pointing out the gap between the lowest paid and f2p has closed up some since the public website/extension beta release came out) Though i get that the game needs to make money id like to see a one time supporter pack, like a mini VIP package * The enemies (at least npc's) sometime look out of place and It feels odd that player characters move but the NPC don't * Every channel has a sometimes wildly different way of handling adventures so it can be hit or miss with what your adventure experience will be. the adventure could be awesome or sometime as i have found there are some that dictate how the adventure choices will be and will end it if they don't get there way, give loot chest preferential treatment to viewers who sub/ donate or even kick because they don't like a class. worth noting again THIS ISN'T THE EXPERIENCE WITH ALL STREAMERS ADVENTURES! but maybe watch how they run one first or ask for there rules! * The arena could use some spicing up it gets old fast * The adventure situations become repetitive after a while
the devs do plan some updates and im curious where the game will go from here because i see the potential and ill check in from time to time and update as needed, but I cant wholeheartedly recommend it as is
Old review here: Bit too grindy for my tastes unless you use gems (which you can get some for free watching ads).
also a lot of the streamers who used to stream the game have stopped. I've also noticed my achievements are not unlocking properly (played before the steam launched)
being honest there is potential here but as it stands I don't enjoy it as it is, ill check in from time to time
Update: my achievements have started unlocking when not playing slowly, I felt it important to update the review to keep it correct and factual :)
Version 2.0.1 Added bulk open options for coins Adjusted item tooltips: Improved readability by having each second row a slightly brighter color Fixed a glitch that caused tooltips to move up and down quickly when their was no space anymore. Reduced contrast in guild Increased font sizes for better readability in many menus Removed many places where we apply some text shadow effects for better performance + readability. Slightly increased size of bounty paper Adjusted layout of expeditions slightly to increased font size of the cooldown Optimized ascended bosses selection modal layout Fixed adventure results screen not being proper displayed on some screens Fixed recipes not having correct space between their name Adventure Optimized design of the loot selection menu + Characters now show their guild flag in that menu 🙂 Added missing navigation button in Adventure dice roll menu when running Adventures in fullscreen Version 2.0.0 (1/6) Full UI rework.

Enjoy Embervale with a fresh, modern look! 👀 New: Our original vision for Adventures has finally come to life. Every Adventure now includes a map that requires regular path-based decisions. Choose which monsters to fight, whether to rest or trigger an event, or if you want to visit the Devil Merchant or face the Morale Reaper. Streamers now shape the path, risks, and fate of the Adventure more than ever before. New Adventure Upgrades: Second Chance can now be upgraded twice, increasing the maximum to 3 purchases per Adventure. After unlocking all tools, new features become available: Devil Merchant — unlock for 2,000 Adventure Points Morale Reaper — unlock for 2,000 Adventure Points New permanent events: @Laluzi : the miracle of coffee revival ritual @Haczi : purebred dog show respect your elders @Sokol : lucky coin event @Midna : riddle of the sphinx lamia hunt event the lost book pocket dragon encounter jungle ruin event A...
Version 1.5.3 - Added ability so you can see the guild challenge contribution of each individual member - You can now only attack other guilds by random and no longer select one (the system will try to match you against a similar guild) as our data showed that some guilds won't be attacked at all. This should make it more balanced for every guild. - Removed the -10% penalty for the first guild so that each guild receives a reward based of how well they did without an additional penalty. - You can now click on the guild flag in the challenge menu to get to a specific guild from the challenge rank leaderboard - You can now click in an application (and invite) of a user on their name to get to their profile to quickly check if you want to accept them or not, elimating the need to look up their name in the leaderboard. - Trust Points is now the default selection in the member page rather than copper donated. - When trying to leave a guild you see now a warning that you will lose trust point and guild items - Hovering over the guild attributes will now give you a proper tooltip explaining what each upgrade does ** Fixes ** - Fixed issue that the challenges menu tried to take more space than it could and should - Fixed issue that when clicking on the guild flag when looking at your character that the game treated it as spectating a guild. - Fixed an issue where certain guild member details, such as last activity, member since, were not displaying correctly - Fixed an issue that the guild battle always showed the final winner instead of the area winner - Fixed scaling issue when donating more than 1 gold for one upgrade - Fixed issue that when you end an expedition that the amount of guild materials always started showing the change from 0
