![]() ![]() Inside we were set upon by gnolls and the simple and unassuming controls let us smash through the enemy and the scenery in style, blowing up barrels and walls that the ranged attackers would try to take cover behind it all felt very larger than life. Without giving away too much of the story we were tasked with escorting an NPC to the top of the tower to deal with the spider with fully voiced and animated NPCs and some epic camera angles we were pretty pumped to get going and in all honesty it had that “The Witcher” cinematic combat style about it. The scene opens up with a town garrison assembling, readying ballista the cinematic camera pans to a huge white tarantula climbing an old belltower, we mean this thing could put Shelob to shame and definitely made us feel Hobbit-esq in stature. However, before the character creation we actually had to go through the tutorial/starting question… normally they’re boring or a little simple this was the best opening to an MMORPG we’ve ever played. The customization we got to play with was a little on the limited side whilst there’s lots of hairstyles and colours the actual sliders for face and body are limited and whilst a lot of the hairstyles can be examined we were only able to purchase them in game and not use them at character creation. We decided to try out Kai the male Archer, using ranged attacks and a pretty punishing melee kick when up close he had some decent DPS but for the most part we were able to keep away from enemies and drop them before they even got close. They are most definitely characters with a story background and identity, but not that far into the game you still get to rename them and customize the appearance (albeit the characters/classes are still gender locked) owing to it being more like an MMORPG but begs the question why try to give them character identities in the first place? Starting out we had the character selection, it’s an odd setup that they have as there are nine named characters that you can play as in the game, each having their own skills and abilities and, essentially, are their own individual class. I ( in the case of the individual author of this here article) hadn’t played Vindictus before and only really knew that it had action combat and, as a Korean made MMO, has some classically Asian RPG elements to it, and so I approached the game with some wariness on what to expect. For our run through we spent a couple of hours playing to try and get a firmer idea of what we were facing and test out some of the different mechanics and aspects of the game. They are gender-locked.Recently we checked out the fantasy meets steam-punk esq free to play MMORPG Vindictus from Nexon, a blend of fantasy, magic and machine where players get to choose from a decent cast of heroes and take on the role of the key hero protagonist in their very own saga. Players are free to alter certain aspects of their character's appearance, but basic abilities and combat styles are set at character creation. When beginning the game, players have a choice to play as one of three characters, each of which has different combat skills and abilities. ![]() Classes Vindictus' "Classes" and "characters" are one and the same. Combat is described as "kind of brutal, like a bullfight," and will require a lot of teamwork. Environmental objects can be destroyed or picked up and wielded as weapons. Combat System Vindictus will be using the Source engine to allow players to interact extensively with the environment. Nexon America, Nexon's North American division, announced the new name on Maat the Game Developers' Conference in San Francisco. Vindictus takes place in the same setting used in Mabinogi, but is placed chronologically several hundred years prior to the first game during a period of war and strife. Vindictus is a prequel to the popular MMORPG Mabinogi and is known as Mabinogi Heroes outside of North America. Vindictus is a hack and slash massive multiplayer online role-playing game created by devCAT, an internal studio of Korean free-to-play game publisher Nexon.
