I had a blast during beta, but maybe that's because of that I had that "new" feeling excitement that I usually get when I was young when playing brand new titles! I ended up spending my nights playing the game until the servers went down for the day. Closers was one of the top ten games that I wanted to to test this year and I am glad Naddic Games was nice enough to contact Nexon and help me get in beta. Did the game live up to my standards? Honestly, Closers Online is a great game, but this genre isn't my cup of tea as I prefer a more open environment. I'd definitely be playing it again during the next test if the two new male characters are available as I am eager to try them both out. Fully customizing your character to your own playstyle in terms of stats, builds, and skills is always a big plus in my book. I rarely experienced any latency issues playing from USA which was nice and the PvP lag wasn't that bad either. Alright, that sums up everything time to sleep or go back to … [Read more...] about STEPARU News, Reviews, Previews & Information for Foreign Games Closers Online Closed Beta Review

STEPARU News, Reviews, Previews & Information for Foreign Games Tree of Savior Online Closed Beta Review in Progress Part 3 Finale
I believe the current level cap for Tree of Savior CBT is level 150 or 200, which may sound a bit grindy. Honestly, the leveling pace for this game is extremely fast. Hardcore players could easily obtain level 100-150 in a day or two. Especially if the servers were to open 24 hours a day compared to the usual 8 hour testing windows. IMCGames made Tree of Savior friendly towards new MMORPG players by making it very quest heavy. In short, you pick up quests along the map and turn them in the same area. Questing on the go as I would prefer to call it. If I had to estimate, quests from each area ranged from 6-15. The quests range from the usual kill X mobs, kill a boss, pick up stuff, tower defense, protect an objective, and some random unique ones. Clear one zone and move on to the next area, after you're done there rinse and repeat to the next area. I didn't really mind the linear questing system since it gets the class done and I was breezing through zones fast. … [Read more...] about STEPARU News, Reviews, Previews & Information for Foreign Games Tree of Savior Online Closed Beta Review in Progress Part 3 Finale
STEPARU News, Reviews, Previews & Information for Foreign Games MU LEGEND Online Review of the 1st Closed Beta
There a couple of ways to earn enchanting stones for upgrading weapons and armor, but the most efficient way to obtain them is through the capture the point PvP system. It's a medium size 10vs10 arena stage where players capture points on the map or go on a killing frenzy. I enjoy PvP content in most of the games I test so I was having a bit of fun in the arena even though I kept getting one shotted or dying randomly due to lag? It was kind of funky. Anyway, enchanted gear seems like it definitely plays a big role in the PvP arena given the game is based heavily on enchants. I wonder if they're going to consider adding extra modes for players who join in on the farming fray late? As in equipment equalization and stuff since the players that farm PvP a lot will have a big start early on gear enchants. Other than that it would be nice if players earn Soul Level EXP from PvP so they're given an option to farm PvE or PvP for Soul Levels. … [Read more...] about STEPARU News, Reviews, Previews & Information for Foreign Games MU LEGEND Online Review of the 1st Closed Beta
STEPARU News, Reviews, Previews & Information for Foreign Games Dragon’s Dogma Online Review of Closed Beta
Now let's talk about the actual engaging combat of Dragon's Dogma Online! This is an action game, so none of that tab or auto-targeting system to make your life easier. Mounting and climbing on bosses is one this games special features and you're able to do it at any given point in battle. I believe all of the classes can mount on both normal and boss monsters which is awesome! While fighting a boss, it will enter an enrage state at one point and a new long yellow bar will appear underneath its HP. From here players must mount on the boss and spam right click to bring the gauge down to 0. It may sound easy, but it's quite challenging because certain bosses can hit or throw you off while you're mounted. A big yellow icon will appear will often appear while mounted on a boss, this means you will have to press the E key on your keyboard or you will enter a stamina draining battle with a Left Click and Right Click spam event. If a red icon pops up while mounted, the player will need to … [Read more...] about STEPARU News, Reviews, Previews & Information for Foreign Games Dragon’s Dogma Online Review of Closed Beta
STEPARU News, Reviews, Previews & Information for Foreign Games WolfKnights Online CBT First Look Review
The WolfKnights development team strayed away from the original concept of the game and veered towards a team-based PvP objective concept. Introducing the new Sanctum War mode where 18 players are split up into three different teams. Depending on how well your team plays together matches may end as early as the first fifteen minutes of the game or last for an hour long. The main objective in Sanctum War is to control all the points of the map. It sounds easy, but when you're up against two teams, it's quite a challenge. Each team spawns in fixed location which acts as a Home Base, here, players are able to ugprade their weapons, armors, accessories, and buy potions using the money acquired from killing monsters or players in the area. The game doesn't let you attack players right away, but instead, lets you farm monsters and mini bosses. Even if you wanted to gank early, you won't be able to because you'll lose out on a lot of EXP and money earned from clearing out the monsters outside … [Read more...] about STEPARU News, Reviews, Previews & Information for Foreign Games WolfKnights Online CBT First Look Review
