The original Bar Oasis made waves in Korea when it reached the number one spot on the iTunes Korea app store before being banned for its frequent portrayal of alcohol. It remained a top ten RPG of 2011 on the iTunes Japan store where it was competing with the likes of Final Fantasy, Secret of Mana, and Chrono Trigger.
