Is MapleStory : Idle RPG free? Free with a Catch.

Pricing: MapleStory: Idle RPG lets you auto-battle, collect companions, and PVP for free, but real progression leans on paying: reviewers report individual 'job ticket' equipment purchases running up to about $70 each and a battle pass whose guaranteed-gacha tier runs around $200, on top of a separate paid monthly subscription, consistent with the game's $0.99-$219 store-listed purchase range. Optional paid features: Job tickets (weapon/equipment) (up to ~$70 each); Battle Pass (guaranteed gacha tier) (up to ~$200); Monthly subscription (paid, exact price unconfirmed).

  • Companions, dungeons and PVP are available free
  • Many reviewers still enjoy the MapleStory loop
Cons
