MIR4

MIR4, developed by WeMade, remains one of the longest-running MMORPGs in the web3 space. Known for its expansive open world, large-scale battles, and blockchain integration, the game continues to evolve with regular updates. It is available on PC, Mac, Steam, and mobile, ensuring accessibility across multiple platforms.

The game's lore follows an Asian princess fleeing a power-hungry lord, setting the stage for a journey filled with faction wars, treasure hunting, and mythical battles. Players can choose from six distinct classes: Warrior, Sorcerer, Taoist, Lancer, Arbalist, and Darkist, each offering unique abilities and playstyles.

MIR4 doesn’t disappoint when it comes to accessibility either. It is available on all mobile game stores as well as Windows, steam, and Mac. The game accommodates a wide audience, allowing players from all demographics to enjoy this title. In addition to this, with moderate hardware requirements, even lower-spec machines can run this game comfortably.

Gameplay

The initial stages serve as an introduction to the game's mechanics, guiding players through character creation that has a complete customisation range for the character alongside 6 classes to choose from. The 6 classes available are Warrior, Sorcerer, Taoist, Lancer, Arbalist, and Darkist. As the player goes through the initial gameplay, they are educated and guided allowing players to learn the UI.

As the narrative unfolds, Mir4 introduces players to the intricacies of its economic system and crafting mechanics. Engaging in resource gathering and trading becomes not just a necessity but a strategic aspect of a player’s journey throughout the game. This layer of complexity adds a refreshing depth to the gameplay, rewarding those who invest time in mastering the economic intricacies that are usually seen in traditional MMORPG’s.

As players get deeper into the game, the difficulty increases and cooperative play becomes a vital part of the core game experience. As the game offers a diverse range of skills and abilities, players can customise their combat style and develop unique strategies.

MIR4 truly comes into its own in the late-game stages, where player versus player (PvP) dynamics take center stage. The open-world PvP zones create a dynamic and competitive environment and players can even engage in large-scale battles for territory and resources.

An interesting addition to the gameplay in Mir4 is the assistant function which can allow the character to complete quests on a player's behalf. Although this function doesn’t intuitively include the talk function, players can press the quest to prompt such actions. This is something that sets this title apart from a lot of MMORPGs.

MIR4 has received several key updates in 2024 and 2025, improving balance, content, and blockchain integration. A major skill balance patch adjusted all six classes for better PvP and PvE fairness. The ‘Valley of Life and Death’ expansion introduced a high-level raid zone with challenging bosses that require coordinated group play. A seasonal event, ‘Sumacheon’s Summer Crush,’ added limited-time quests and exclusive rewards to keep players engaged. Additionally, multi-chain blockchain support was implemented, making DRACO transactions smoother and reducing fees

Review

MIR4 remains a staple in the web3 MMORPG space, offering a mix of traditional MMORPG mechanics and blockchain integration. The game still provides a vast open world, large-scale battles, and resource-based progression, keeping players engaged for hours. However, its reliance on auto-combat and automated questing continues to divide opinions, with some players appreciating the convenience while others feel it detracts from the experience.

Graphically, MIR4 holds up well for a mobile-first MMORPG, but it’s starting to show its age compared to newer titles built on Unreal Engine 5. The Hydra’s Depths update introduced fresh challenges, but the game’s UI remains optimized for mobile, making PC gameplay less intuitive. Additionally, while the DRACO token system keeps its play-and-earn mechanics relevant, fluctuations in token value and mining mechanics remain a concern for long-term players.

On the audio front, MIR4 delivers immersive music and well-executed sound effects, but the lack of English voiceovers is still a drawback for Western audiences. Server stability during large-scale PvP battles could also use improvement, as lag and frame drops persist. Overall, MIR4 still offers a solid MMORPG experience in 2025, but it needs UI updates and performance improvements to stay competitive with newer web3 titles.

Overall, MIR4 deserves 7 out of 10. This is due to the never-ending gameplay that is available within this title as well as its complex crafting ecosystem that adds a layer of intricacies that can make a difference in the long term. Weaving this in with the overlying story of the IP is well done throughout the whole title. The only areas of improvement for this title would be to improve the UI for PC gamers and to have the audio in English for western audiences.
