No Dpad:
Maple Story is one of the most successful MMORPGs thus far, with over 100 million users worldwide. It’s also one of the first 2D side-scrolling MMORPGs made. So it only makes sense to bring the experience (albeit single player) to the iPhone, after releasing it on a numerous number of mobile phones.
I will admit that I did play Maple Story at one time and was a complete newbie at it. I leveled up to around level 30, then decided to stop playing since I had other things to do, and the game started to get a bit boring. The multiplayer experience wasn’t all that great, but leveling up by yourself and buying items from the shop was probably the most appealing part of Maple Story.
Pocket Gamer: Although western gamers may consider World of Warcraft to be the most popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game, you have to go a long way to top the enthusiasm displayed by our Asian friends for MapleStory.
AppAdvice: MapleStory Thief Edition by Nexon is an action-RPG that brings the epic MMORPG cast onto the iPhone. You are Robin, and you’re on a quest to become the greatest thief in the world. You must work under your master MacArthur, and help the towns’ people with missions in order to master new skills and level up.
GameZebo: Whenever I play an RPG, I tend to play as a thief. I like sneaking around and taking out my enemies from behind, as well as picking the lock on the backdoor in order to bypass armed guards standing at the main entrance.
