I'm really enjoying this game. The magic casting is beautiful. I also like how the camera zooms in a bit on some attacks making them feel more dynamic. The story is interesting so far. The change in artwork to a more realistic look is also refreshing. Hopefully the game will not become a grind feast later on down the road. The avatars designs are awsome! Thanks
The actually feel really good, especially with that newly implemented joypad. The graphics are a little but more enhanced since the last title, that's nothing to complain about. The storyline seems fresh right at the beginning, at least no more forest areas as the definite nooby zone. I do feel that boss at around level 10 was a little rushed. It really feels like this isn't for the casual player. However, the whole freenium model puts me at a point where I don't even want to play through Zenonia 5. Also, there really needs to be an offline mode: the Internet requirement is my best motive to delete zenonia 5 right now.
Like the others, not terribly thrilled about no offline, but otherwise I think its pretty decent. Deserves much better than 1* rating it currently has.
What I don't understand is why an Internet connection is even required unless you want to do PVP. Even an initial check (while still not favorable in my opinion) is more tolerable than a constant connection requirement. This usually is a deciding factor for me to delete a game on principle and in the past I have. It's one thing to want to maintain the integrity of your online portion of the game, but there has to be a better way than requiring a constant connection. Perhaps a game save check to validate it hasn't been tampered with when connecting to the online portion? I don't know, but its difficult for me to get totally behind this game at this point...
The game is pretty solid but the lack of an offline mode makes the iPod touch users unplayable unless near a wifi connection, which is sad.
The environments and the movement control are a big step up from previous Zenonias, and hope to see more development on the character customizing. Liked + followed, tweeted, etc..

Well, now I'm going to download and have a look. But only because I'm intrigued by this upcoming raid system thingie. Can't promise il keep it on my device for long though based on what people have said.
Apparently, gamevil only did that to prevent people from hacking and, for say, gain easy levels in the den of trials or whatever. Imo, hackers are going to probably have a loophole anway
I have a question. To play, I have to be online!? I understand that is a freemiun, but these games are not forced to play the story mode with internet .. Unless online .. Zenonia 4 not forced to play online.
I decided to give it a go and I hit a paywall on the first boss -.- Thoroughly disappointed, the game itself looks really promising but I can't go any further without having to reach into my wallet
The first boss does come up quite abruptly, but from my experience so far with two classes (Wizard and Paladin) as long as you spend some time grinding it should be fairly ok. Do keep in mind that the Zenonia series, along with most other KRPGs, has always included some degree of necessary grinding to level up, so it's not necessarily a paywall.
