Needs attention – Palace Rule Review

I would love to rate this five stars, I really would, but there are so many issues right now that need to be addressed first. Let me start with an easy one: the scripts are terrible. I’m not sure if they’re meant to be direct translations, but the wording is sad, the grammar is terrible, there are a slew of typos, and the character choices are so limited they basically don’t exist. Here’s another issue: during a dress up stage, the recommended items should not include items that the player can’t possibly have at their current level - such as a stage in chapter 3 recommending an item received upon completing a stage in chapter 20. It should also not recommend items that are random drops, or event items, unless they already exist in the players’ inventory. This one is far more important and will require a lot more thinking to deal with: this game is not friendly to its free to play players. Because they’re not spending money, they have lower power and less access to energy, making passing stages and completing chapters drag on for far too long. During events, players who spend money have a huge boost over the free to play players, meaning that they have no chance of even competing with paying players. I’m hearing people talking about leaving because of how much they struggle to keep up with the story, especially when compared to paying players. I have already seen a bunch of people leave. Work needs to be done to keep from estranging the playerbase. When these issues have been addressed I will be happy to adjust my rating accordingly.
