![]() Going through the same map over and over again did test my patience. For example, if you’re on a mission to fine a different artifact for one NPC character, or on a different mission to stop a boss, you’ll be on the same map, depending on the chapter level. The different missions can get repetitive because of the same enemy and layout of the map. Some objects can break in the game thanks to the Source engine. The coolest feature in the game is the ability to grab an enemy and perform devastating combos on them or throw them against objects. You can manually dodge the enemies’ attacks and attack them from behind. ![]() You can chain these in many different ways. You have two attack buttons on the mouse, regular attack and strong attack. Everything you do is based on your action. It’s action based, so that means there are no dice-rolling type hits. You can see a post of missions on the board to see if there are any parties you can join that’s doing the same mission, or you can start your own party. When accepting a mission, you must go to the docks to set sail to the dungeon/fighting areas for the action portion of this MMO. When I was roaming around the town, the loading for other online players in the town wasn’t that fast, so most of the time they were wearing their default robe outfit. In the town, you’ll meet new characters, via cool and pretty character artworks, that will tell you about what’s going on in the world and will give you missions to do. Once that’s done, the whole town praises you and you travel into the town where your real journey begins. My character ended up being the only one left, and this is where the tutorial starts as you kill the gnolls and ultimately in the end of the tutorial, confront the spider (who was once human). My group that I come in with was ambushed by these creatures called the gnolls. Once my character was created, I was taken into a battle cutscene where I have to stop a giant spider who was once human. Choosing a nickname was a hard one because most of the names I tried to create were taken. You have your basic hair, face, eyes, skin color, and breast size option. I chose to main with the Fiona character because, well, I like women.Īfter choosing my Fiona character, I was able to do some customization. The game client is around 2 gigs, and when you start the beta, you’re only allowed to test out two different characters, Lann or Fiona. Vindictus steps up to the plate by offering us an action-based MMO. Let’s just say that I was sitting down in nothing but my boxers, staring at the screen while grinding and leveling up, feeling very unproductive. ![]() And I have only played it during its 2-week trial period. The only MMORPG that I’ve played was WoW. I didn’t know what I was missing, but this Free-to-Play MMORPG showed me that free MMOs can have good graphics and solid gameplay. Nexon, Vindictus’ publisher, has been promoting the MMO big time at events like E3, with huge-ass bags, but I never really got into the hoopla, until now. It’s been a while since I have played a PC game, but I had a chance to play the beta for Vindictus, thanks to my new PC (my old PC couldn’t even edit video without it crashing). ![]()
