Novice in the world

对于手游，没什么好说的

非常一般的氪金手游

Novice in the world is a surprisingly busy little RPG that tries to combine exploration, turn based combat, team building and online features into one fantasy adventure. I liked the freedom of being able to build my own party and decide how I wanted to approach the world rather than being pushed through one fixed path. The exploration gives me a decent amount to do. I can travel around the world map, enter caves, discover sects and strongholds and recruit different characters. I enjoyed finding new companions because building a team is one of the most satisfying parts of the game. There are also different martial arts to learn, which makes character development feel more personal. Combat uses a turn based structure, so I have time to think about how I want to use my party. I liked experimenting with different combinations because some characters work better together than others. The game also lets me fight or interact with many of the characters I encounter, which makes the world feel more open than a typical linear RPG. The idle progression is another part of the design. My characters can continue developing without requiring me to constantly micromanage everything, which makes the game easy to play in shorter sessions. I liked having that option, although it also means some of the progression can feel automatic rather than something I am actively working toward. The biggest weakness for me is the sheer amount of systems competing for attention. Between party building, martial arts, exploration, guilds, PvP, co op and character growth, the game can feel cluttered. The presentation is cute and colourful, but it does not always communicate everything as clearly as I would like, especially when I am first learning how the systems fit together. The online side gives the game more longevity. I can form guilds, interact with other players and compete against them, while the single player structure still gives me plenty to do on my own. I think that balance works well for a free RPG because I am not forced to spend every moment dealing with multiplayer content. Overall, Novice in the world is a charming and surprisingly expansive free RPG with a lot of freedom in how I build and develop my party. I enjoyed the exploration, turn based battles and character recruitment, even if the number of systems can become overwhelming. It is not the most polished RPG around, but there is enough variety here to keep me interested for quite a while. Rating: 7/10
