I've been playing this game for a long time now. Today I would like to try to recommend it for all the readers out there. Its a 3D side-scrolling dungeon crawler game with mmorpg properties. You can level up and get items which (like diablo, has different special properties). So no two equipments are ever the same ! Read on for more details.The game's plot is a bunch of children (Its funny, I know) travelling different continents to save the world from evil. They call themselves the "Grand Chase". You start with 3 characters who level independently from each other which gives replay value to the game as well as more options to find out what you like. There are quests which you can buy from the shop and complete to unlock and play additional characters. Each character has 4 jobs except for Mari, Dio, Zero, and Ley. Each job plays different from the previous and are unlocked via level requirement and quest completion. In addition to jobs, some has skill tree to enable further customization of comboes, special attacks, and additional skills such as evasion or berserk mode.
List of Characters, taken from Ntreev Grandchase website.
Elesis, typical swordsman and leader of the grandchase. Melee.
Lire, archer with unique gameplay which reminds me of gunbound (though not exactly). Ranged.
Arme, magician with overwhelming power. Melee/Ranged.
Lass, thief with speedy attacks and typical hard hitter. Melee with some ranged.
Ryan, druid with ability to morph into a creature for additional power. Melee.
Dio, demon which introduced another way to use special attacks, very powerful and cheap. Melee.
Ronan, magic knight which plays similar to elesis and has good defence. Melee.
Zero, wanderer and with new special attack input like dio, another powerhouse. Melee
Seigheart, gladiator with berserk mode for increased damage output for a short duration, very similar to Elesis. Melee.
Amy, dancer, probably fastest of all the characters with low hp and def, damage is mediocre but can regenerate allies' MP. Melee with little ranged.
Jin, fighter using hands and legs to attack, speedy blows with good attack power, can charge up ki to shoot fireballs. Melee with one ranged attack.
Mari, rune caster with very unique play of building structures such as towers and portals, uses machines to fight. Melee/Ranged.
Ley, summoner with ability to call creatures to fight for her, also uses unique special input like dio and zero. Ranged.You can get more information about characters here,

There are 2 main gameplays for Grandchase. The first is a dungeon crawler which is a party of up to 4 people going through a dungeon and defeating the boss. After winning, you are rewarded with a chest which could be equipments, items (potions and alike), or ingame currency, or nothing at all ! Monsters in the dungeon may also drop items to aid you. There are dialogues (not spoken) for the plot in each dungeon. Whether you choose to read it or not, is up to you, most people skip it. Of course, you get experience which lets you level up to improve your character. Also, a quest system exists to help speed up levelling. All quests involve crawling one dungeon or
another. There are 6 continents to explore in total with countless dungeons.
Continental Map, 6 continents, many dungeons in each. Including hero dungeons.
Equipments, common is white, rare is blue, epic is yellow, relic is pink. Common has no special properties, rare has 1, epic 2, relic 3. Shops gives commons, dungeons drop rare and epics, events gives relics.
Dungeon Crawling, up to 4 people per room for dungeon.I personally only do dungeons, I enjoy coop play with other people so if you do sign up, add me. I use AznWizzie for my character name.
The second gameplay is pvp. It stands for player versus player. As you can guess, you face other people who also play Grandchase. Here, mostly skills are required but items also matter alot. So just go blindly into battle ! Most rooms will state its requirements in the room title so it will be roughly a fair match assuming everyone met those said restrictions. Pvp also rewards experience but no items.
Those are the two main attractions to the game. There are plenty of other features in Grandchase, for example the hero dungeons which are dungeons for level 40+ (Sanctum of Destruction) and 30+ (Crucible). These dungeons are different because monsters' strengths are equal to the averaged stats of all the players in the room. Where as normal dungeons has a level range, where if you're 30 levels or so above the dungeon, you will mostly 1 hit ko the monsters. This proves a challenge to even the long time players in Grandchase.
Another feature is the workshop where you can create or disassemble equipments you picked up in the dungeons or bought. The created items are usually only found as dungeon drops or created via workshop.
There are also guilds and a friend system which is normal to all mmorpg by now.
Theres a couple system which could be interesting or not. Couples boost each other's experience multiplier when levelling up so you level up faster. Aside from that, nothing special about it.
This game has alot of benefits for being a casher, however I was never one for online games and probably never will be. Cash can either grant you better equipments than other people, special skills for characters, unique pets (which aid in combat, non-payers can also get pets though), and gacha and spell breaker gacha.
Both gacha work like a lottery, it takes coins or seals to unlock either pets or equipments which are usually limited time.
For those who don't cash or even those who want more cash. Ntreev do offer "free cash" methods, such as completing surveys or watching a video, or installing spyware (don't do that one). Some ask for your mobile phone number then they send you a pin where you have to enter on a computer, but I never tried that cause giving them my phone number seem like a bad idea.
But thats about it for what I can say about Grandchase, if you have any other questions, feel free to post in the comments below. There are alot of other small features I neglected but there are alot more things Grandchase has to offer so give it a try !
Once again, if you do join and quite like the game, you can add me at AznWizzie. I don't play too often, I usually play when theres a good event. Speaking of events, Ntreev does provide a good event every now and then, completely unlike their other game Pangya which seems only to have events which require cash.
Also note, if you do plan to start, you should start sooner, because they have an event at the moment which gives you special items for completing level checkpoints (level 1, 5, 10, etc).
Thanks for reading. The link below is to sign up under my referral, it gives me certain benefits if enough people sign up. I won't keep my hopes up but it'd be nice if there were some people who do start playing because of me.
