The wait is over! 20 years, or almost that, after the launch of the Lineage (1998) franchise, Netmarble is betting strongly on the mobile gaming market with a focus on rescuing the prestige of MMORPG games and ending with the market bias towards mobile games .
Lineage 2: Revolution is a new online RPG game with innovations that include high-quality visuals, a vast open world and large-scale PvP battles for mobile devices. Players can truly experience a dizzying persistent MMORPG with all the features alongside millions of players the world over – and all in the palm of the hand!

The time has now come for new heroes to rise, to begin a new chapter in history, and to save the world from eternal darkness.

First impressions
The game brings incredible graphics and the gameplay is impressive with simplified and effective controls. It also helps to shape graphics for a smoother gaming experience on different types of devices.
One point to note and that I see a lot of complaint in the comments on the store pages is with Auto Play, a trend in mobile games, which gives the player the option to leave certain situations of the gameplay automatically, with the game working for you! I particularly like the auto-play mode, since I do not have much free time and this function helps a lot to complete the tasks in the game.
Gameplay
When you start in the game you create your character choosing options like race, appearance and classes. Similar to other MMOs, the progression system is based on completing missions to gain EXP and level up. There is also the grind mode, famous in the Destiny franchise, where the player comes out to defeat monsters to gain EXP.
Battle Modes
The main focus of the L2R is on PvP battles, where the highlights are the 50×50 “Siege Fortress” (2 teams with 50 participants each) and the “Siege Castle” with up to 200 participants (4 teams of 50 participants each).
Lineage 2: Revolution is now available for Android and iOS.
