Remnant Knights Anime Me This!

By Neil Kewn (Murxidon) – OnRPG JournalistI am not a fan of anime. Not in the slightest. I would like to say I share this opinion but these days I’m almost certainly in the minority - people love the Japanese art style and there are plenty of MMOs around that cater for it. OnRPG itself has a sub forum devoted to anime, and I can’t seem to read a thread without seeing at least one member hold an avatar of their favorite manga character. Logging into free-to-play MMO Remnant Knights for the first time, I wondered if the cutesy style and bright colors would discourage fans of the more visceral, realistic MMORPGs (like me, for example). Of course, graphics aren’t everything, and there’s a lot more to Remnant Knight’s than meets the eye.Published by GameSamba, the game doesn’t drop you into the middle of a rent-a-world expecting you to fend for yourself. You are a member of one of two different schools, the Dragon or Owl institute. The former specializes in physical achievement whilst members of Owl enjoy spell casting and intellect over brute force. Accounts are limited by school, so if you create a character in Owl you can’t create another in Dragon. The creation process allows you to pick a Major (similar to real college but without the exorbitant fees), and this will act as your chosen specification. The Gun Circle deploy long range weaponry, The Magic Circle can use their powers to attack enemies or to heal allies and the Fight circle enjoy being in the thick of a battle. The school you choose determines your starting area and your faction, in a sense.As a member of Owl Institute, teacher and student introductions were the first order of business. These act as a helpful tutorial, along with pop up prompts that show basic gameplay tips. The play style isn’t drastically different from most MMOs so there isn’t that much to learn if you are familiar with the genre. Killing enemies and completing quests earns experience that grants Skill Points when you level up. These are spent improving abilities, and you actually complete semesters and move up grades as you level.Remnant Knight aims to be accessible. Quests are quick to complete and you are always given directions as to where to go. Unfortunately the quests aren’t as novel as the narrative, with kill and collect quests taking up a large portion of your time in the early game. The tasks given to you are predictably strange. Hunting Gingerbread Men, disposing of murderous trash cans and finding Halloween costumes aren’t the type of quests you would find in a more mature MMO, but it goes hand in hand with RK’s cartoony style and childish nature.As shown in the screenshots, Remnant Knights visual style is heavily influenced by anime and cartoons. Employing an art style more reminiscent of Toontown Online than Flyff, the world of Kasmari consists of houses made out of cake and more primary colors than you can shake a stick at. You would be forgiven for dismissing the game as an overly simplified casual title, but thankfully there’s enough depth, dynamics and fun here to dismiss such claims. The story is written by renowned comic book writer Jim Krueger, and is one of the game’s most appealing features.Combat is fast and fluid in Remnant Knights,ドラクエ10 RMT. Attacks are effective but not too powerful, and the quick animations and limited cool downs help give a nice sense of flow to battles. Often you will face groups of enemies placed close together. A Tension bar fills with each kill, granting you access to more powerful and over-the-top attacks that can dispose of troublesome mobs with ease. The main enemies in the game are called Skalari, beings from another dimension that apparently only “youths” can see. They often drop orbs that instantly recover HP and MP, helping keep downtime to a minimum.Performance wise, the game isn’t strenuous on systems and the frame rate holds up well. Fortunate, as those great animations and spell effects really add to the aesthetic of the game. One of the reoccurring issues I had with the game was actually with its launcher, which can best be described as “useless”. It often becomes unresponsive and sometimes refuses to patch. The actual installation process had its own problems, as I suffered from a widely reported issue regarding incorrect version numbers stemming from installing the game in the wrong directory. Try installing to the root of your hard drive if you are having similar problems.The Samba Shop is where players go to get their premium fix for an otherwise free-to-play game. Stocking clothes, consumables, accessories and mounts, there are products that will appease the aesthetically challenged or keep those who just that want a little boost happy. The store doesn’t do a particularly great job in explaining what all of the items do, and some of them actually expire after a certain number of days. Otherwise, it is well stocked with items that won’t spoil the game for the free players. Interestingly you can complete surveys and offers to earn Samba points instead of paying for them with a credit card.Remnant Knights is an accessible MMO that is both fun and rewarding to play,maplestory RMT. Despite being relatively new the game has everything you would expect from a modern day MMO game. Player versus Player combat is here including a school versus school competition called “Marble Battle”, in addition to banking, auction houses and pets. Not all of this is available at the start, meaning the more you play (and the more you level), the more features you unlock. The game is currently in open beta so it is in need of a little polish, but Remnant Knights would make a fine addition to anyone’s anime MMO collection and is definitely one to keep an eye on. Feel free to give it a shot for yourself,カバル RMT.Graphics – 3 Controls – 4 Features – 4 Customization – 3 Community - 3

When faced with a choice between who rides up front -- your best friend or The Stanley Cup -- always ALWAYS choose ... THE STANLEY CUP!!Last weekend -- the cup spent a day with NHL star Dustin Byfuglien -- who played on the Chicago Blackhawks squad when they won the championship this year,メイプルストーリー RMT. ,aion RMT; Dude was rollin' around Roseau, Minnesota when he decided to make a gas run -- and brought Stanley along for the ride. The person who took this photo was just filling up at the gas station when the car rolled in -- with Stanley buckled up for safety in the front seat. Shockingly -- it's not the most random place we've seen Stanley ... earlier this year he kicked it with Justin Bieber, hit the club scene in Hollywood and rode a float in a gay pride parade.

War of Angels Heaven or Hell

By Bryan King, OnRPG JournalistWar of Angels, developed by NJ Interactive and published by Neowiz, is an MMO fantasy roleplaying game with a unique set of features, including a guild city system, as well as aerial and underwater combat. Players can link up to explore massive scaled dungeons, chat in town, and fight with other players in order to rise to the top.10,000 years ago. Earth faced the greatest danger to its existence. Dertgotz, a fallen angel who once was a celestial god, was expelled because of his greedy, cruel nature. He marched into the human world with his army of evil. Many lives were lost and much of the land was destroyed. Slowly yet surely, the human world was consumed by Dertgotz's inconceivably vast and evil power. The war for survival against Dertgotz continued for many years. A human hero eventually appeared, and grew powerful enough to rival Dertgotz's might with the help of his trusted comrades. After a long and perilous journey,ダークブラッド RMT, this hero and his comrades were finally able to defeat Dertgotz and his evil soldiers. War of Angels’ character creation isn’t a far stretch beyond anything we’ve seen before. Upon initial creation, characters are able to choose a single class, and then upgrade to a subclass at level 20. As of right now, there are four classes. The Fighter, Rogue, Ranger, and Mage. The Fighter is able to promote to Warrior or Knight, the Rogue is able to choose between Scout or Avenger, the Ranger is able to choose between Hunter and Archer, and the Mage is able to choose between Cleric or Sorcerer. In order to fulfill my fantasies of casting hellish… err… angelic magic bolts from the sky, I rolled with a Mage.WoA doesn&rsquo,メイプルストーリー RMT;t offer much in terms of customization, with a generic Face, Hair Style, Color, Weapon, and Armor Color selector, along with a size selector. However, the amount of effort that went into the armor and weapon selector is quite impressive and provides a good insight on how a character is going to look at later levels.Although War of Angels mixes the best of Eastern and Western developer clichés in MMOs, it at least produces a tolerable MMO soup. The same basic principles from other MMOs apply: hotbars, targeting, casting and combat are all present and standard. However, the added element of Flight adds a whole new dimension of fun.Flight has become an added plane of gameplay in other games such as Perfect World and Aion, yes, but the fluidity in War of Angels is surprisingly well done, and provides an enjoyable experience throughout the entire game, because wings are available from level one and onwards. Another cool element about War of Angels lies in the Deathblow system, which allows players to gain a reservoir of energy from killing monsters. You are able to fill up to three tiers of this Deathblow energy, with each additional tier providing a greater and flashier killing strike.I found questing in War of Angels to be quite a unique system, as choosing various replies to NPCs can determine your player’s alignment and what faction you join later on in the game. For example, gladly accepting all quests you come across will most likely increase your character’s disposition to “Good”, but if you gladly tell an NPC to “screw off”, your disposition will lower. This will determine what side of the grid your character will fight on inside late-game RvR, as well as your guild’s affiliation.The coolest implementation of this system was being asked by an NPC to deliver a package to another. In most MMOs this would be a boring and pointless gopher mission. But in War of Angels the NPC kept stressing how important it was for me to return the package unopened. Of course, my curiosity got the best of me, and I opened it. Inside was great armor for my level, gold, and potions. However, this did not go unpunished, and my disposition dropped by a lot, leading me towards fighting for the faction of “Evil”. To be honest… I was okay with this. Can anyone say &ldquo,aion RMT;Hell’s Angels”?In conclusion, War of Angels’ gameplay is simplistic in nature, but every decision you make could shape your future, which provides a whole new level of fun and immersion. Being able to take combat to new planes of air and sea also allows for a whole new level of fun gameplay. There is a guild building system that has a ton of features, as well. Guild leaders are able to establish bases for their members that provide plenty of perks, and although I wasn’t able to test this, the general consensus of the population was that it is a fun toy to fiddle with and has resulted in some great guild “decoration” events run by veteran players.My first impression with War of Angels’ graphics as of the recent graphics update was the amount of work that went into it. I had a short run in with War of Angels prior to their major update, and at the time took little notice of the game’s bland exterior. However, the new update has definitely provided a benchmark for the future of microtransaction-based F2P games, as the log in screen provided a feeling one gets after seeing that ugly girl from high school turn into a world-renown supermodel.The water effects, character design, and general feel of the game has gotten a complete overhaul, and it’s apparent in the new login screen as well as the game’s environments. I am personally pleased to see the new graphics within the game giving a boost to the game’s general feel and UI, and players who left solely due to the game’s aesthetics should definitely come back and try it to see for themselves.In conclusion, War of Angels is a cut above many somewhat generic F2P games. It has features that are very rare within the genre, and provide players with a strong community aspect in terms of guild base creation. Flight based gameplay and freedom of choice while questing also add to War of Angel’s overall value. The new graphics overhaul is what won me over in the end. For those who are looking for a game similar to AION but aren’t willing to pay, your search may end here.Graphics - 4/5 Gameplay – 3.5/5 Features 3.5/5 Customization 2/5
