Okay, I've faffed about with this for quite a while and am ready to sort of give it a general overview:
The good:
- I like the combat system. It's actually quite dynamic and sort of fun.
- No auto-regen HP. Although that is sort of a big lie.
- Finally, a permadeath MMO.
- Yay, free-for-all PVP!
- You can move past zombies
The Bad:
- The visuals. Oooh, the visuals. They're incredibly dull. Everything's so... modern FPS-ish, with incredible amounts of dirty white, brown (ARMOK'S BEARD, THE BROWN), metallic gleams and a tiny smidgen of black (although it might just be incredibly dark brown). I mean, no matter how mis-matched or silly the WoW armors looked, at least they had some character to them. Here, it's generic all the way, because there's no way someone could take perma-death seriously whilst wearing something with more colour than the inside of a leather accessory shop.
The weird (a.k.a. I can't decide where to put it):
- the respawn system. While not entirely bad, and not entirely good either, it's pretty much... unique. It's nice that it doesn't smack new players in the face and make the game something they'd rather avoid by giving them the option of not losing their precious epic items and hero, I was promised permadeath, which means I want my character dead once he's dead. Saying "Permadeath" on the game page could almost be classified as false advertising, as it should read: "A chance of permadeath". So, yeah, I'm sticking this in the "weird" part of my overview.
But I found the game to be somewhat enjoyable, if not what i've expected.
