Twin Saga

This is my first ever review, Ive been playing mmogpgs for over 20 years, everything from Asherons Call to EverQuest to WoW and I had to say there is something about Twin Saga that makes me want to play. The quest are fun, I love the classes and the crafting, the fishing is the best. Dont take my word for it, its f2p, give it a shot, if nothing else its something to do for a few hours..

Anime was a mistake. Nah... Just Kidding. Such a atstonishing game. No wonder why Im still single and away from society everday.

They are ending the game by April 29, 2021.Its not worth your time when they are removing the game,so you cant play it anymore...

8.0/10 Liking it so far, some normal release bugs, not impressed or disappointed I knew what I was getting myself into. As a free game though it's definately worth a try if you enjoy anime or mmorpgs. Graphics: 8 (I run Fullscreen 1920x1080 with everything maxed, solid so far no issues. I wasn't impressed or disappointed.) Audio: 8 (Nothing unexpected or new, but nothing terrible and cringeworthy. Japanese with English subtitle translations have that awkward anime feel. I have a minor in Japanese so I enjoyed the audio more.) System: 8 (I haven't experienced any unexpected crashes as of yet. Latency issues only twice so far, very briefly, low pop. channels.) Quests: 6.5* (MMO style, cookie cutter archetypes with lower required kills in area map and are generally quick and close. Main quest chain is good so far. World map daily quests cap at 10 and have varied outcomes and cutscenes with no voice. The score killer here was a lack of an effective quest reset. Abandoning and reaquiring a quest did not resolve a main questline issue, very likely my fault for logging out at a bad time. Had to eventually re-install the game. That aside, completing certain quests for the first time gives you permanant stats bonuses.) Crafting: 9 (Multi-layered and robust you can craft various useful equipable objects and home decor. Materials are everywhere, and can afk farm at nodes. Not imputing commands for rarer finds doesn't break node channel. Various crafting levels in all professions give permanent stats boosts and other various useful bonuses.) Achievements: 9 (Semi-meaningful and gives useful permanant stat. unlocks. Titles from achievements also give small stat increases, finding a matching pre/suffix combo is interesting. Lots of titles to choose from.) Dungeons: 7.5* (A little short for my taste, several difficulties with dailies involved. Must complete solo first in main quest chain to unlock party functions. Everything as far as mechanics in the dungeon seem to be spot on as far as I can tell. Loot system is rewarding and click-looting is non-existant, everything goes straight to your bags.) *=subject to change as content is explored My favorite thing about this game so far is the fact that if you click anywhere on the map or mini-map, you automatically travel there. Convenient if you go afk for a snack or something. This includes clicking on the quest objective themselves to travel to where the objectives are located! Currently exploring and liking it, may update this review as I explore.

It's a decent game with a lot of options to have fun. The costumes are incredibly appealing. The class system is intriguing, as you can play any class you desire and switch at will during your whole journey. This makes it so that you can have a versatile player experience. However, some classes are clearly more optimal than others. Samurai seems to be the best class for soloing, which renders every other class useless unless playing with others. Also, leveling becomes difficult toward endgame (once you get to the 60's, although the level cap has been raised to somewhere around 100). At that point it becomes a game of dailies. Run your 10 daily dungeons, do your daily map quests, talk to specific NPCs, etc. I find that games which center around the "do your dailies" become boring rather quickly. And this is where I get to the bad part: there is a significant lack of a playerbase. In all the time I played it, I probably came across no more than 10 players total. All the aforementioned aspects of the game are essentially pointless unless you have someone to play this game with. I played with friend but he quit, and it became a solo journey to the top, but I quit before I even got all the way there. Hella dead game, would not recommend.

Well, my first 'not recommended' review of a game. Hmh. And it's on a game I still have to play. [i]Interesting[/i]. I'd just like to point out that the game is good, it's just not a good MMORPG and one that I'd recommend you stay clear of if you're looking for something to pour thousands of hours into. I'll start with the good things, as to keep things semi-chronological...ish. First, are the classes. Every class is fun to play as, and not to mention that you have seperated stat trees you can invest in every class, which can sometimes change how the class plays alltogether, and frankly, doing the number crunching, stat investing, and sometimes even doing the awesome things in the game is pretty cool (for ex. one boss spawns a near-insta-kill barrier every now and then, however if you leveled your Gunslinger high enough you can roll through it and take no damage). This game also includes something it calls Common Abilities (which I mentioned above). Every class has two common abilities that are unlocked at a specific level, and once you get these abilities, any class can use it. The game looks visually unique, even though it sometimes looks mediocre, and frankly, the one thing that keeps this game together, at least for me, is the storytelling. This game has some really good and funny writing, and is one of the few MMOs I didn't skip out of on dialogues. Astral Adventures ties into this, giving you a Telltale-like ability to chose the outcome on certain stories, and that is genuinely fun. However, now come my gripes with the game. The animations are choppy, and cutscenes show this off in full detail. Also, some sounds and animations are reused for wildly different abilities. The classes are confusing, it actually pissed me off that I went as Gunslinger, a rapid-DOT class, and was outdamaged by my girlfriend going as the Paladin, a tank class. Bosses are bullet sponges while being able to kill you easily if you haven't built health or defense, or aren't a tanky class. If you want the better gear in the game, you have to spend time farming for items by putting your character at a Harvesting spot and just waiting. Ocassionally you may get a QTE for some of the better crafting items, but that's about it. Newer, stronger Senshis (essentially companions/pets) are locked behind a paywall, which I guess I should've seen coming. But so is furniture and some not-so-good gear, as then you either have to grind for it in the following way: Some enemies have a small chance of dropping a rare item. You take this rare item and turn it in and fight a boss. You kill the boss and get 3-7 (depending on if you used a Bounty Token) items, of which you need 100+, to make the item. Or you can just pay for it right away. The game's dungeons are always pretty challenging, and I'd honestly say they're fun...up until the last two. They spike up in difficulty suddenly, and to the point that it's punishing. If you went pure ATK or Crit build, you will get ♥♥♥♥ on, a lot. Your only options then are to either stick with your guts and beat it somehow or switch to a tanky class, farm for the EXP (if you haven't already) and then go beat it. So, to sum it up: Pros & Cons: +Classes are fun to use +The idea of Common Abilities is a good one +The writing in the game is pretty damn good +Astral Adventures are fun +Active, helpful community +Your weapons automatically switch to fit your class (so if you had say, Demonic Gunblades, and you go Dragon Knight, it'll become a Demonic Lance instantly) =Fun with friends (but then again, what co-op/MMORPG game isn't?) =Stiff animations and movement =Slow start -The Waterpark. ♥♥♥♥ everything about the Waterpark -Unbalanced/confusing class roles -Ridiculous grind for some items -Boring professions that are almost shoe-horned into the game -Bullet-sponging, nuke bosses -The difficulty goes [b]waay[/b] too high up in the last eight of the game -Quests are too repetitive -Lootbox elements (granted, I'm guilty of using them) The only reason why I'll be finishing this game is to put a final period on the story, which managed to get me hooked. Whoever was their writer, I salute you.

A great old school MMORPG from a simpler time before jiggly boob physics was a thing and we were happy then.

-I made a gunslinger -stripped down to my underwear -auto-pathed and spammed through all the quest diologue -hey this music is nice -admired the lush, beautiful anime world -got a cute mount -pew pew at a big boss -entered the world map? in an MMO? cool -saw a giant walking house go by -got a guild invite to a guild named "Guild" with 1 other member and made a friend -put my clothes back on 9/10

Yes, I would recommend this game. It keeps you busy and is very entertaining with different costumes. The one I like the most are the motorcycles, dragons, planes and cars. On the other hand, the drop rate is not efficient. I am able to handle the rest. I do not mind grinding the game but that is my only concern.
