V5 Games announced on the 8th that 'Legend of Mir: Jin,' a mobile martial arts MMORPG based on Actoz Soft's iconic online game IP 'Legend of Mir 1,' has reached No. 1 in popularity on both Google Play and the Apple App Store following its release.

Released on the 4th, Legend of Mir: Jin captured user interest immediately, topping the Apple App Store popularity chart on its launch day and securing the No. 1 spot on Google Play as of the 7th.

This achievement is attributed to the game's status as the first mobile MMORPG to utilize the Legend of Mir 1 IP, as well as its successful adaptation of the original's pixel art aesthetic and Eastern worldview for the mobile environment.

As the original 1998 Legend of Mir 1 is widely regarded as a seminal title from the early days of Korean online MMORPGs, the game appears to have successfully tapped into the nostalgia of existing fans while piquing the curiosity of new players.

The game offers character growth and class-specific combat across six classes—Yang Warrior, Yin Warrior, Taoist, Sorcerer, Mapmaker, and Monk—with added convenience features like Auto Hunt contributing to its positive reception.

Furthermore, it implements the tense combat and competitive structure characteristic of mobile martial arts MMORPGs by supporting item trading via an auction house, as well as field PK and penalty systems.

Additionally, large-scale clan-based Siege War content, which allows hundreds of players to participate, brings the core cooperative and competitive combat experience of the original MMORPG to mobile devices.

To celebrate the official launch, V5 Games is hosting various events within the game and its community, and is also offering benefits such as additional rewards and cashback for top-ups made via the VFG platform.
