The game may sound amazing so far, but it does have its own flaws such as the extremely awkward running up and down animations. Random disconnect or crashes while dungeoning in the future will set the player back, especially if they are playing with friends because they will end up losing stamina for that run. Once you're out of stamina, there is nothing else to do other than level up alts, which is what I ended up doing in this beta with two max level characters. It would be nice if players had an option to play as the NPC's from PvP Arena to help friends or players in dungeons. During the "High Level Nightmare Emergency Mode" with a full party it's sometimes hard to see what is going on with too many flashy skills, monsters, explosions, and camera angle changes. I ended up losing track of where my character was a few times. Awesome music, but I felt like there is something off about the Sound FX or BGM that I couldn't quite grasp, maybe it's the lack of bass? Ahh! Don't want to spend … [Read more...] about STEPARU News, Reviews, Previews & Information for Foreign Games Closers Online Closed Beta Review

Hyper Universe currently only offers one gameplay mode which is pretty much like any other MOBA out there. Destroy the enemy towers and push into the enemy base. You're probably like... What?! Not another one of these games! So what makes this game any different? Hmmm, I suppose the game being 2D like Awesomenauts is one thing. The control schemes is also decent and works very well with the theme of the game. The maps in the game feels rather small in a good way since there is a lot of action and ganking going on. It's one of those games where you can get ganked really early in the game. Lastly, the game heavily relies on players to kill a lot of monsters in the jungle during the early and late phases of the game, especially if they want to win. Hyper Universe currently offers two 4v4 maps. The space map has two horizontal lanes with towers in them while the Jungle map only has one lane with towers. The rest of the lane is for players to go jungle crazy! The minimap is placed in a … [Read more...] about STEPARU News, Reviews, Previews & Information for Foreign Games Hyper Universe Online Review a 2D Action MOBA

I decided to go with Cryomancer as you would have probably noticed by now. Another 15 class levels later I had an option to choose Cryomancer again, learn new Ice Skills and improve my current Ice Spells, or try something new like Psychokino and Linker. After a thorough examination of Psychokino skills, I determined that it was the best choice for my Cryomancer. In short, I ended up using an overpowered combo of the Cryomancer's Ice Prison followed by Psychokino's and Swap Spell on the Boss into my position followed by Psychic Blast on the Ice Prison. This combo alone instantly destroys the bosses. Another 15 levels later, I am given the option to further class change into Psychokino again for the more advanced Psychic spells or a new class such as Thaumaturge or Elementalist. For the time being, the CBT offered three class changes and may receive further class upgrades and changes in the future. The game will also provide players with hidden jobs in the future. Also, due … [Read more...] about STEPARU News, Reviews, Previews & Information for Foreign Games Tree of Savior Online Closed Beta Review in Progress Part 3 Finale

Fans have been asking for a long time now and IMCGAMES delivered. Another cool feature implemented during the 3rd CBT was the long awaited mouse support! I haven't gone around playing with the whole point and click features since I've grown used to the keyboard controls since day one, but I heard it's very useful for classes like the Wizard and Archer. Players who are new to TOS or Ragnarok Online fans may enjoy playing the game more with the mouse as compared to the original keyboard controls. … [Read more...] about STEPARU News, Reviews, Previews & Information for Foreign Games Tree of Savior Online CBT3 Review and First Impressions

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
