I literally tried to play this game only for the plot, but look how far I'm drawn over to this game now...
In one of my typical days where I was scrolling on Facebook to kill boredom, I discovered this game when I once stumbled into one of their advertising videos. It is featuring the lore of Alice the Wanderer, of how she got into that world and telling her story of resilience to survive her brutal fate. Her story in the game is far more different than the one you can read in the books or that version of her in the movies.
If you already know which Alice I'm talking about here, then you're right about that. It's ALICE FROM THE WONDERLAND, same character but have a different version of story to tell and to witness —stronger and powerful, and most of all, magical!
Here's a glimpse of her official story lore:
Alice was thrust into the care of the Sacred Order in her early teens. One of several daughters from a poor, minor noble family with no heir apparent, Alice’s parents sent her away to avoid having to find her a husband, and then a dowry to pay him with. Incapable of affording the attention of quality suitors, they saw the Order as a place where Alice would be safe, as well as away from the sons of lesser families. Though it was a decision they made out of care, Alice resented them. Her faith in Lumaya was strong, but she had no particular love for the Order. Once there, her strong character, independent mind, and curiosity gave her a rebellious streak, and she was frequently disciplined for refusing to obey instructions and asking questions out of turn.

See? I told you, it's a different version but still interesting and amazing just like the original one.
It is also the reason why I have downloaded the game right away without any second thoughts. I didn't even care if I'm out of storage in my phone or if I still have a lot of mobile data left to install the game. My excitement with discovering a lot more about her in this other perspective is greater than checking up first on the compatibility of my device, whether I could be able to play it on the phone or only in the PC. Well, I'm into the story than the game itself since I'm a bookworm, but good thing, I can play that in both of my devices.
As for the game, I find it entertaining to be learned and to navigate. The mechanics are easy to follow and it's only the resources which are scarce because you need to complete the quests or send your champions into the dungeons to find those shards, artifacts, amulets and tomes that could help build their strengths, accuracy, speed and stamina.
Another thing that this game hooked me up into playing it regularly, aside from knowing the character of Alice here, is that you can't proceed to do other quests without playing in the storyline mode. You should know their story first before you could unlock other quests and champions. There are lots of champions to acquire in the game depending on the rarity, and each one of them have their own lore which connects them to that certain timeline.
Aside from Alice, I have known also that you could collect Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, and the Knave of Hearts. They are my personal quest now —to make Alice stronger and to collect all the other characters related from the book. And, if you dig further in the game, you could also see Sun Wukong the Monkey King there, and he's a legendary character just like Alice. I think among all mythical creatures in all folklores around the globe, he is one of the famous characters. Sun Wukong is literally everywhere! I could even see him in Mobile Legends and on Honor of Kings.
I'm not much of a gamer and I only play once in a while if got bored at home. This is the only game actually that really made me interested into gaming. Maybe, if I could find something similar to this, as long as it have a good storyline, I would take the bait again.
Anyway, for the teaser about her that I've watched, I'll share it here.
Enjoy watching! I hope you'll like it just I did.
