About Tree of Savior
Tree of Savior launched on May 10, 2016, as a free-to-play MMORPG from imcGames. You play this title on PC to explore a world where humans and monsters coexist in strange harmony. The game features a unique class system that lets you evolve into dozens of hybrid forms rather than sticking to standard archetypes. Papaya Play handles publishing for the Western release, bringing this Korean development project to English speakers. It arrived during a crowded era for browser-based and client-heavy MMOs, yet it carved out a niche with its distinct art style and focus on community-driven events. The setting leans heavily into fantasy tropes while adding its own weird twists to monster designs and character customization options.
Gameplay
You spend most of your time grinding mobs in open zones or tackling dungeons with a party of four players. Combat feels action-oriented compared to traditional tab-targeting MMOs, requiring you to dodge attacks while managing cooldowns. The real depth comes from the job system where you can fuse two classes together to create new hybrids like a Knight/Monk. This changes your available skills and passive bonuses significantly during each session. You also manage inventory, trade items in a player-run economy, and participate in large-scale guild wars. Sessions often last hours as you chase specific drops or complete the long quest chains that drive the main storyline forward.
What Players Think
The reception has been mixed according to available data. IGDB lists a score of 52.3 out of 100 based on 18 ratings, suggesting critics found significant flaws despite the ambitious scope. Average playtime data indicates many users invest substantial hours, yet completion rates remain low as players burn out on repetitive content. Community moods fluctuate between frustration with server stability and genuine affection for the quirky monster designs. Review snippets often mention the steep learning curve of the job system as a barrier to entry. The player base is small but loyal, frequently gathering in Discord channels to discuss build optimization rather than general chat.
PlayPile's Take
This game costs nothing to start but demands a lot of time to see any real progression. It suits players who enjoy complex class mechanics and don't mind a smaller active population. The achievement system offers some goals for completionists, though the low community rating warns you about quality issues. You should expect bugs and balance problems that developers struggled to fix over the years. Play this only if you want a specific type of Korean MMO experience and can tolerate an aging title. Skip it if you need a polished modern game with a large player base.
