Superb. It's a game that can be played in 30-minute bursts or sessions that stretch long into the night, and its balance of instant gratification and long-term pay-off is beautifully done. It's the perfect game for people who love the idea of raiding, but can't afford to invest the time all MMOs require before the really good stuff - and all for free.
An anarchic lo-fi MMO with a refreshing disregard for your sanity. Unrepentantly simplistic and fun. [May 2012, p.94]

Do not look at all the negative reviews from 2013, this game has been taken on by DECA who have literally revived the whole game! They ported it to Unity (from flash) and every month new dungeons, content, and features come in! not to mention they host lots of community competitions and events! And communicate with the community frequently, I have spent more than 1,100 hours on this game and still am not close to mastery, Still enjoying it more than ever though!

The easy-to-learn combat system and temporary nature of characters
make the game a blast to sit down and play for a few minutes, while
more hardcore gamers will enjoy the challenge of survival while trying
to hunt down the biggest monsters to find the best gear, and
eventually top the leaderboards. While the lag in the game can be a
problem at times, adventuring with smaller parties seems to alleviate
most of it, and the developers are always working to improve the game.
Furthermore, the combination of several popular styles of games into a
single MMO makes for a fun, new, and most certainly refreshing
experience. Realm of the Mad God is certainly a game worth taking the
time to experience.
Easy to jump into and damn near impossible to quit, this unusual free-to-play MMO hybrid is worth every second of your spare time.
Death is permament and every new beginning tastes the same, but its wide variety of classes and enemies fairly compensates. When you start, its winning mix of features taken from MMO and hell-bullets games won't let you go anymore.
Lag was an acceptable issue in games up until five or so years ago. At this point, most high-quality online experiences are relatively lag free. That's why I have to say that RMG is not a high-quality experience, but not just because of lag; Realm of the Mad God suffers in its simplicity.
The game is a lot of fun and I'd recommend trying it out with a friend or two. The game can be played for free, but you will probably find the lack of character slots and storage frustrating. $20 is probably enough to enjoy the game to the fullest (I should mention I've paid $40), but obviously only buy stuff if you feel paying $X on a free game is justified. The game struggles with performence, especially if your computer is lacking. Hackers are unfortunately common (maybe as much as 10% of the playerbase) and while they won't have a direct effect on your experience it is annoying that DECA does so little about them. The game is also not very friendly to new players and practically demands you to learn about it through online resources like Realmeye and guide videos. The game deserves a major rework to mechanics revolving around the new player experience, which the developers have said they are working on, but it will probably be a while before these issues are really solved. Still fun though, if not a bit niche. Play if you like bullet-hells and have friends.
Oh yeah it's also one of those communities where the players you meet in game have a 50% chance of being a racist POS, so keep that in mind. The reddit is nice

Even though this game is simple and decent fun, it's pretty dull and repetitive once you play it for a while. There are micro-transactions of some level, which is pretty much inevitable in today's free to play titles. At least it's free, and you can play it a fairly decent amount without investing any money in it.

Lag spikes and there are extremely rare items that wastes your entire time spent on the game. like the Dirk, Qot and ST equipments. I played this game since 2012 and I got NONE of theese items. I died many times to **** lags even though I had a great connection. I solod over 100 sewers just to get the ST dagger and I only get is the **** poison that I will never use. I cant believe I wasted my life for this POS game. Good thing I did not waste money on this.
