Earth And Beyond: 9/10 points |
Very enjoyable game. Unfortunately I felt the RPGdot review was inaccurate in a few places, so I wanted to correct them here. One, you CAN set your weapons to auto-fire... combat does not need to be a "button-pounding fest that last for around 30 seconds". There are also numerous special abilities, tactics, and devices that can greatly effect the outcome of a battle. It sounds to me like there was not enough actual gaming experience behind whoever wrote the combat review section. Secondly, the death penalty in this game is a beautiful thing. It helps keep casual players from getting frustrated because they can simply log off and come back later, but provides considerable sting to folks who are "powergaming" and feel the need to play through it. It's one of the best penalty systems I've yet experienced in an MMORPG. Overall? I find the game enjoyable and immersive. When taken for what it is... an RPG (NOT a sim) that is set in space, it comes across very well. My only real complaint would have to be the interface, which was also mentioned in the review. |
