Each zone you go into has its own theme and they’re crafted really well. Iunno.Įither way, since you’ll likely spend most the time you’re not fap-I mean, looking at how amazing you look in combat, it’d have to be good, right? It’s fast, it’s fluid, and you can fucking pick up monsters and smash ’em into each other. I’ve been playing Vindictus for the last month and the combat in Vindictus is truly fantastic. Which I might add is thoroughly enjoyable. Vindictus is the first MMORPG in this list that doesn’t give you the freedom to run around and explore at your leisure, instead opting for instanced dungeon crawling. Well, that and the fact that the story in Star Trek Online is one of its key selling points. What makes the game truly a great Free to Play title though is the fact that it feels like a Pay to Play title – and that’s because at one point it was.
Graphically, Star Trek Online does a fantastic job of capturing the essence of the Star Trek series and movies (being a fan of multiple of the series myself).
Which, to clarify, I mean you get to control the actual ship from the engineering department, to science, to tactical systems, making for some fun engaging gameplay mechanics.Ĭombat in Star Trek Online is pretty traditional – select your targets – cycle through your skills until they die. Now, you have 2 ways of playing Star Trek Online – the traditional way which features you running around on foot, exploring and fighting everying – and the other way that lets you play as the ship itself.
Star Trek Online originally launched under a Pay to Play model, but years later relaunched under a Free to Play model where it found a huge following of loyal players.įans of the Star Trek TV series and movies will likely feel right at home in Star Trek Online as the game does a fantastic job of explaining everything and setting a true Star Wars feel for the game. Star Trek Online is one of the few popular Free to Play Scifi MMORPGs available. I’m not saying it is personally but before everyone jumps in trashing it – I thought it a good idea to include the little warning. It has a fun PvE and PvP scene, although be warned that there are people that claim certain aspects of PvP is Pay to Win.
Not full action combat like TERA but not a traditional tab target MMORPG either.īlade and Soul looks and plays like a very high quality MMORPG.
The combat in Blade and Soul is action oriented with a little targeting added in. Speaking of something many MMORPGs lack – Blade and Soul has an amazing character creator giving you an immense amount of freedom over the character you create.Įven so, when running around I still end up seeing the same characters created – have people given up on creating a character unique to them? This creates some great zones though – with each zone having a general theme, hub and story focusing on the zone itself.
Which is a problem for some and immersion breaking for others. Instead, you have to go through loading screens to reach each area. The world in Blade and Soul is pretty large, however, the zones themselves are instanced off meaning you can’t just run around a huge open world. Blade and Soul is a huge MMORPG with large zones, fast action combat, and great graphics.
