Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Streamlined questing
Questing in Order and Chaos Online is done in such a way that it is not tedious and can be done quickly.
Pro Large world
This game offers a large world that is similar to smaller PC MMO's.
Pro Has mounts
In Order and Chaos (just like on World of Warcraft) the player can access a Mount at level 20. These are caught in the wild with what the game calls "bond stones."
Pro Many races and classes
5 Races and 4 Classes is a good amount for a mobile MMORPG and this is where Order & Chaos Online sets the standard.
Pro Free
This game that was once $6.99 became free on August 6th, 2014 and because of this, there are more players than ever.
Pro The games tone feels optimistic with the colorful and cheerful design
Chaos Rings III has a bright color pallet and cheerful tone to the story, which keeps the game refreshing and fun, as apposed to dark and depressing (like previous titles in the series).
Pro Fun, all-inclusive currency based gameplay that does not abuse the system by asking for real world money
The gameplay consists of many elements found in free to play titles, but with the twist that the game is fully paid upfront. There are multiple currencies, multiple characters that can be combined to upgrade as well as other Gatcha (spend currency on items in the hopes of getting rare ones) style elements. Luckily the game is fully upfront paid with no in app purchases at all meaning the balancing of the gameplay works well without worry of too much grinding.
Pro Nostalgic turn based gameplay that should be plenty familiar to anyone who has played a Square game before
In classic Square Enix fashion, the battles are random and turn based, making for a classic RPG style feel for those looking for something more similar to the type of RPGs that existed 20-30 years ago.
Pro Intuitive elemental rock, paper, and scissors battling allows for a good bit of strategy in the game
All monsters in game have some form of elemental attribute that is designed to be countered with an opposite element when battling. There are cards to be collected in game that can then be equipped to the players character in order to build a team that can hopefully in most situations counter a wide array of elemental monsters.
Pro Good game mechanics
A great story that has some real twists that will make you interested in it , and the interactive NPC's that have their own dialogue and missions as the story progresses, and the genes (great art-style) that are based from real people or mythologies and have their own description which makes collecting them even more fun.
Pro Great music
The music in some places is really good and can make you want to avoid battles and stop moving just to listen to it.
Pro Lends itself well to quick on the go sessions thanks to the streamlined Colosseum mode
There is a Battle Colosseum mode in the game that allows for quick battles against regular enemies and bosses that earn the player experience points. There is no story in this mode and it is meant as more of a quick on the go session that can still earn the player some XP that can be used in the regular story mode.
Cons
Con Pay to win
Many feel that there are many elements that make Order and Chaos "pay-to-win."
Con Clunky chat box
The chat box does not have an option to turn off, and this can cause disruptions.
Con Poorly adapted for Android
The game does not properly support the 4:3 ratio as the text and graphics are cut off the screen on both sides. The game loads upside down and will not rotate to the correct orientation of volume buttons on the top of the device in landscape. There is no immersive mode support either. Overall for a $20 game the glaring lack of optimization for Android is pretty shameful for such a large company that has such a long history of making video games.
Con Chance the game could go fremium
Being that all of the freemium aspects are already built into the title it may be a worry that the game could go freemium at the drop of a hat, thus burning anyone who actually paid full price for the title.
