Honest review on Toram Online. No hard feelings

This game is bad to play in many ways.
1. I have to wait 10 seconds to quit a battle. That waiting time is totally unnecessary. I don't even have the confident to survive in battle, yet still need to to dodge at the spot for so long. Normally would have died after drained all sprinting energy.
2. It is said after 24 metres the enemies will not be chasing you, but they never tell that the enemies will be teleported to u and they walk to you ignoring all physics and walls. It wastes a lot of effort just to ditch them off.
3. Dodge system sucks. It requires timing and skill to dodge, perfectly normal, fine by me. However, their attack will reach you even though you are at the opposite corner end of the map. That makes dodging inefficient when facing crowds of enemies.
4. I'm new to this game, so I was having fun at the hanami event. Its not fun anymore until i see the tower defense mini game in chapter 5. A tower defense mini game that can't provide a full or top view. I was purely disgusted to see how they design my favorite tower defense game in the worst way possible.
5. The mini map system sucks. It shows minimal info, not even the layers and obstacles. Of course, there's no pin feature. You can't pin your fav places. You might be able to memorize the map and routes after playing 100 hours. Well, if you are doing that, why need the mini map? Not friendly to newbies.
6. This is a problem for me. It has so many flashing scenes, i have to turn my pc brightness to minimum when playing it. It hurts my eyes so much. Ouuchhhh~~
7. Useless teleport ticket. It gives you a free teleport ticket after you unlock a save point, where you can already teleport for free. Its the most useless things that I've ever seen.
8. You might encounter a troublesome situation call untradeable inventories. I just don't like this as much. Too much work.

Disclaimer: I respect the mechanism of the game. I have been playing it to look for new fun. The community there is very nice ngl, very friendly. It is the game that is bad, don't take this the wrong way. Well, if you still think its worth challenging, Good Luck.

 

the game is very old-school, which can be charming but also just as much frustrating.

the fact that there is no comparable mmorpg on mobile made me stick around long enough to settle down here.
and i vowed to keep up the guild until the game shuts down permanently, even if i happen to be the last member online.
that's half my motivation.

there have been some significant updates, but they took years and there are still plenty things that need improvement. either you like the game for what it is, or you don't. waiting for better times (or some expected feature that was announced 2 years ago) won't fix this.

regarding Teleport Tickets (premium item), they are obviously best used for places that you normally can't teleport to.
teleporting without items requires the air ship, so the teleport items still have use for new players.

 

1. Imagine a monster giving you the opportunity to quit the fight after 10seconds. It's kind.

2. Not all enemies have the same level of persistence.

3. We also have skills that they can't dodge no matter how far the enemies are. Pretty fair.

4. Should have a toggle options for tower defense fanatics.

5. Truly not newbie friendly game.

6. Yep, just turn down the brightness.

7. They will come handy once you explore the game further. Like treasure hunt for example.

8. If everything is tradeable within one's grasp then it'll be easier to gain everything in the game. That'll be boring.

I agree that in a non PvP game this feels weird, but in most MMORPGs, you have a timer before you can log out, so that people don't use logging out as a means to save themselves from danger and death.

I hate that too, but it's a tower defense minigame inside an MMORPG, so it's not as well polished as an actual tower defense game. :shrug:

Yeah, there is no option to reduce the intensity of flashing. I hope they add some way to reduce graphics. You can turn off party member skills, if that helps.

They should provide a tutorial, yes.

Do remember this is a 2015 game, and is in another language entirely, and is free to play, so we can't really do anything.
