Game play
There is always plenty of things to do in Battle of the Immortals. You can go out and kill monsters to pass the time, run one of several hundred mission or even go into one of the event areas.

Players can create guilds, get mounts and even tame monsters to became pets which help them in combat. If players are lucky enough they can obtain the Zodiac or dragon pets, Zodiac pets are the most strongest but are hard to level correctly.

Players can choose from 5 classes each with their own style of play, no class is gender locked meaning that you can have either a male or female character.

Graphics
Despite the game engine which Battle of the Immortals uses the graphics are very good.

Audio
The music in this game is not annoying, in some cases it quite peaceful. If you don't like that go in and turn it off, even better replace it with your own!

Player Market
You can sell stuff in Battle of the Immortals to other players. Servers are divided into 8 channel with one channel normally being the trading hub.

The server I am on, Gemini, uses channel 2 for the market. This channel is normally the most busy.

Marriage System
Well what can I say, you can get married in this game to other players. By getting married to another player you gain access to 4 unique marriage skills, not only that you get a stat boost and exp boost when in team and near your partner!
