This is one of the mediocre sci-fi/anime MMORPGs out on the market. Basically you choose one of the three factions, Bellato, Accretian, or Cora, and explore the planet called Novus.
(7/10)Gameplay - Each race has three main classes and one class that the other races dont have. Coras are usually preferred as the elven magic casting race that can summon deites or summons. The Bellato resemble dwarves and can operate huge MAUs. Accretians look like gundams and they can summon giant guns or turrets. After you pick your race, and class you get to pick your appearance! Hooray! The characters have about 5 different hair cuts! Anyways since this is a Korean MMORPG, they don't focus on what the characters look like i guess. After you log into the world you are greeted by a friendly, long, slow, and boring tutorial. After that your Race Manager talks to you and gives you your first quest and weapons. Now the fun starts! You get to grind and grind and GRIND and GRIND AND GRIND!!!! BUT! Do NOT power level yourself because you really can screw yourself over. Theres these things called PTs. Example: An Accretian Warrior will need to level his ATTACK PT to increase his damage. He does this by attacking enemies with a MELEE weapon. Every time you hit an enemy you gain EXP and PT. This game can get pretty confusing, but remember this. DO NOT POWERLEVEL! There is a tax rate for each faction and buying GOLD is the only way to lower it for your entire faction. So this game kind of has a good economic structure. This game HEAVILY revolves around POTIONS. 1v1 PVP is almost impossible, since both of you will be sitting there pressing the potion key, waiting for someone to run out of potions. So this means that you will have to get a party together if you want to kick some other factions A$$. Or just gang up on low levels, thats always fun :). Anyways after you've had your fun grinding to about level 25 you can actually, finally participate in CHIP WARS!!! Wooo hooo!!! Since now you can actually do some damage and SURVIVE more than one hit. Chip Wars are these wars between the three factions that happen 3 times a day. BEWARE!! If you do not have a decent to high-end computer these wars will lag the heck out of your computer and maybe crash. Who ever wins the Chip War, their faction can mine in the middle of the core for precious ore. The Holy Stone Keeper will instantly kill any other faction that gets close to the core. Yes, so basically you gind and gind to level 25. Participate in CW and then AFK mine for ore. Yes, you heard me, AFK MINE. Meaning you can actually make your character mine and then go outside and enjoy the world for once. Grinding past level 30 is painful. It literally takes hours to raise a PT up by one point. Basically, if you can't take the heat of the intense GRIND then don't even breathe the air that is around this game.
(9/10)Graphics/Surroundings - The graphics in this game are absolutely amazing. The character models are very, very well detailed. The monsters look very good, but the lack of only 2-3 monsters per area hurts. All of the race's bases(hah) are very well done and are pleasant to the eyes. The landscapes are barren and filled with little amounts of trees and shrubs(except the forests). They are all mostly flat and it takes forever to run somewhere.The weapons and spells look fantastic. There are a vast majority of categories of weapons. The armors look the same at the lower levels but then they completely differ at higher levels. Though, it is kind of annoying that you need new equipment every 3 levels. These graphics are very very good for a MMORPG.
(10/10)Sound - The sound in this game is fantastic! From the techno beats to the soft melodies, they are all very well done. No other MMORPG has better music than this game. You can hear everything from the clang of swords to the sizzle of the fireballs.
(6/10)Interface - The interface is very typical MMORPG like. It has everything from the EXP bar to the health bars. The one thing that brought this score down was the ability to NOT be able to map your hotkeys. Yes, you CAN'T map your hotkeys. They are stuck to the F1, F2 etc. For some odd reason. You will have to get use to it now.
(5/10)End Game - After level 30, the "Real" game is suppose to start. But all there is left to do is: Chip War until you die, gang up on other faction's noobs and kill them, get a party and run through some dungeons and complete them, level up to 50 OMGWTF!!!11!, and buy GOLD to help your race's tax rate. I may have left out other "Fun" stuff to do but it doesn't matter.
Overall - (7.5) - Like I said before, this is a very mediocre game. There are plenty of bugs and glitches in this game. But, whats a game without bugs and glitches? If I were you I would wait for GIGA 4 which is supposidely suppose to make this game much better and fix alot of those nasty annoying bugs. Its a really big update for those that don't know.
