To be honest, I just do shrine and open with the excess money.
The game itself has really awesome artworks and is way more hentai style than Neo Monsters (if that is a good or bad thing has to be decided by the player).
And so many Neo Monsters artworks are based on Evertale artworks, so it’s always very nice to see how they are connected.
For the game itself I cannot give you a lot of advice, but don’t expect too much strategically gameplay as you’re used to in Neo Monsters. I feel a lot of autoplay and a lot of P2W is taking over in Evertale, but just give it a try and log in and collect rewards for a few month until you reach 30.000 for fortune fountain, do the basic storyline in the beginning, which is quite fun actually and decide then if you keep it that way, or play more intensively.
