"Excellent action game with an rpg feel"
Pros: Game wise
This game combines a hit and smash action game with a little rpg feel. By playing games against opponents, you can lvl up your characters and increase their stats. But what i like most about the game is that it is a game of skill and not lvling. Each class has its own set of attacks each with different delays, damages and ranges which you need to be familiar with and know when to use them. Some moves are very powerful but have much delay and can leave you in quite a fix and some are very quick and simple and do minimal damage. There are 5 classes that you can master. In games, you can use various strategies with your team to win rounds. The are varous ways to build you character. You can decide to make him a player killer who focuses primarily on killing opponent thus wanting to increase his speed and versatility, or you can make him a cell killer (cell = creature) who focuses on killing golems in golem games. So each character has multiple ways of being build depending on what you will want to make it. You can also purchace new equipment to add more stats to your character. The varous types of equipment help you in different ways depending on how you build your character. Some can be utterly useless to you but can be useful for another type of build. All this gives you a nice range of things to master.
Costomer support is really good. If u send them a question, they will respond to you in a 1-2 hour frame. They are alwais open to you suggestions and they work hard to get rid of hackers and encourage you to give them any information on often seen hackers (like screen shots).
Some people in the game can be quite cocky and arrogant but the majority nice people (if u stay on their good side, that is).
Oh, and i forgot to say, its free to play
Cons: For begginers, its kinda hard to get used to the different attacks. At first, the action is too fast paced for them. It take a bit of getting used to. People dont really like begginers either because they are usually a liability to then team.
If u have a mid range computer, the game can be very laggy at times and other players are not fond of laggy players because a laggy player is like having a afk player. If your intenet connection speed isnt good, then no one will want you because no hits register on you and your hits dont register on other players.
Some cells (creatures that you can summon in game that fight with you) are quite overpowered, mainly those that you can buy with cash (pay to play money).
The variety of items for f2p player can be limited and p2p player can be hard to beat. But again, it is a game of skill, if the p2p player cant fight and relys on his cells to do all the work (often seen in this game) they are easy to beat.
Hackers have recently started to enter the game, but no one really likes to hack in this game because it is quite pointless. If you hack, you are most likely to get kicked out of the game (yes there is a kick system) and hacking is really boring, even for the hacker.
