[b][h1]”An old-school Chinese MMORPG in the world of dark fantasy and Asian mythologies”[/h1][/b] It’s nature of MMORPG that always changes in period of time. It’s sad to see another old school gem disappeared and left something I could invest more. Even the game service will be terminated tomorrow; there is something I should talk about. --------------------------------------------------------- X.A.O.C (Xentra Alpha Oraga Crima) is 4 years-old Chinese MMORPG sandbox developed by WindThunder Studio from Taiwan. The story focuses on “Judgment Day” when the “Skyfall Disaster” incident appears and the line between human world and spirit world become blurred. You play as one of twelve characters (categorized by four races as Human, Demon, Half-Blood, Galasu). Each character has different distinctive background, skill, weapon type, and classes to choose. The gameplay gives vibe of traditional MMORPG. You start from different homeland depends on race you choose. Explore the world and progress story via quests. The world of X.A.O.C is massive, full of exotic mythologies and lore and that hold something special for me. Each land has different ethnicity, religion, and culture. Hundreds of NPC can be interacted for bit of background story and interesting lore. The influence of Chinese, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thai, and Ryukyu culture helps to shape up the world design with hybrid steampunk-fantasy theme. From the gloomy street of demon world to elegant palace mount on warship; it’s hard to see this kind of uniqueness in modern MMORPG. Combat in X.A.O.C is what you expect from old school action RPG with fast-paced combo, chaining skills, and buff/Debuff stats to create highest damage output. Easy to master, yet still offer advanced technique and challenge boss fights. In some dungeons, players have to solve combat puzzle to gain huge advantage on fight. Killing is not only one option. The game also offers some unique features like pet vehicles (they have some cool looking design), arena, weapon mastery, hot spring spa, boiling tea, and more. However, the game might suffers from repetitive combat and quest like most sandbox MMORPG. Some objective dungeons can be very tricky and missing textures issue during play is noticeable. The restriction of support language (mainly Chinese) can drive away English audience (developer did their best to translate some UIs due to manpower and limited cost). I had some hard time trying to figure out how system and item work due to language barrier, but I really enjoy most of time I spent on this game. I was obsessed in design, exploration, fun fancy combat, and beautiful soundtrack. It’s just more than killing endless mob. --------------------------------------------------------- At the end, every party must come to an end and I wish I could spend more time to explore the world, story, and character. We might not see the end of Judgement Day storyline, but we used to witness one of underrated unique MMORPG for our gaming experience. So long and good luck on community and developer team… For anyone who interest in artbook/soundtrack which you can no longer purchase via store, I upload files on Google drive.
