Recently, the content leaks of Genshin Impact 5.7 have emerged one after another, especially the information about the two new characters Skirk and Dahlia, which has caused heated discussions in the player community. Although the current game is still in Version 5.5, concerns about the new characters are continuing to ferment.
According to the current leaked information, Skirk, as an important NPC in main Fontaine line, has been highly anticipated by players since his appearance. Although Skirk's specific values have not yet been exposed, we can also guess that the mechanism of this five-star character may be overly dependent on Cryo meta. Then her flaws are also easily exposed - when the environment changes, her strength will be greatly reduced.
At the same time, the leak of the four-star Hydro character Dahlia is equally disturbing. This new character, who may come from Mondstadt, will focus on Attack Speed buffer. It is worth noting that this is not the only four-star support with attack speed buff as the core in Genshin Impact in the past two years. Because of this, this repetitive design immediately raised questions about the usefulness of the character, after all, the strategic value of attack speed stats in the current version is still controversial.
Mika's DilemmaPreviously, Mika's launch as a 4-star Cryo character had suffered a major failure. Many players considered this a disaster, as he was undoubtedly one of the worst supports.
This Knights of Favonius front-line surveyor is very young. He is mainly attack speed buff and Physical DMG buffs, and can also bring a certain degree of healing to teammates. But unfortunately, no matter from which aspect, his bonus ability is not ideal, or even equivalent to no effect. In addition, attack speed is usually not an important stat in Genshin Impact, which made Mika quickly abandoned by players and chose other characters as a replacement.
It is worth noting that Dahlia's current leaked information has many similarities with Mika. They are both 4-star supports and can also serve as an Attack Speed buffer. They are even likely to come from Mondstadt! This really makes people worry that Dahlia will repeat Mika's mistakes.
What's more worrying is that the current version already has a more practical character like Yun Jin. If Dahlia cannot provide a breakthrough mechanism, then his existence value will be questioned by many players. After all, for most players, it is better to prioritize the cultivation of the existing team rather than consuming $1 to extract a new character that is not easy to use.
Attack SpeedTo understand the players' concerns, we first need to understand the awkward position of attack speed in the combat system of Genshin Impact. Unlike basic stats such as HP, ATK, and DEF, attack speed is only slightly effective for some characters who rely on Normal Attacks as their main damage output, but it is also very limited.
Even for characters such as Ayato, Ayaka, Itto, and even Yoimiya, higher attack speed allows these characters to attack more frequently and increase their overall damage output to the enemy, but in fact their output limit does not depend on the attack frequency. This feature makes Attack Speed buffer often give people a sense of dispensability.
Judging from the existing information, if Dahlia wants to avoid repeating Mika's mistakes, he still needs to focus on solving his practicality problem first. How can he have his own outstanding advantages compared with other similar characters? We can only hope that the developer will do it.
However, these are our own speculations, after all, these leaks may be wrong. The information we know about Dahlia is not complete enough, and it is not rational to make arbitrary conclusions based on the current information.
What's more, these concerns also reflect the players' anxiety about the lack of innovation in character design. Since the release of Genshin Impact, the developer has launched nearly 100 controllable characters one after another, and it is difficult to avoid the homogenization of character positioning. But if it is not solved, then for players, this will greatly affect the diversity of the game build, thereby reducing the fun of the game.
All in all, the information we currently have about Version 5.7 is not sufficient, and more key information will be revealed later. We hope that the developer can avoid repeated mistakes and keep pushing Genshin Impact forward!

While Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail are constantly refreshing players' views on open world games, HoYoverse's highly anticipated Zenless Zone Zero is about to usher in a major update, including new areas, new characters and new factions. This news makes all proxies feel excited.
New Areas Waifei PeninsulaThis place, famous for mining and refining Porcelume, is located in Throne Quarter, on the outskirts of Lemnian Hollow, and is full of dangers. The story of ZZZ version 2.0 will begin here.
Waifei Peninsula was originally used as a monitoring zone to monitor Lemnian Hollow, the original hollows in the game. And its name Waifei Peninsula comes from Cantonese characters.
The earliest residents who settled here were responsible for guarding this extremely dangerous valley. And over time, an outpost was established in Waifei Peninsula area. Eventually it became Failume Heights.
Failume HeightsThe city sits on a cliff, with a stunning view of the port and the area. The area is rich in Porcelume, a precious material that resists Ether Corruption. It is a vital material in mining. It is also the economic pillar of the area, but there are many secrets hidden behind it.
Perhaps many clues that have not been answered before will be connected here, such as Sarah's true plans, the conspiracy of Exaltists, etc. But I think the most important thing is the biggest mystery that the two proxies have always wanted to know - the truth about the fall of the old capital and the secrets that Phaethon siblings have been keeping. In short, I am sure that players will get a great new adventure here.
Lemnian HollowAs an original Hollows hiding an ancient civilization, although Lemnian Hollow has only been mentioned once before, it has always been the most active hollow, often causing trouble for nearby residents.
Now, players can look forward to exploring here in 2.0. Oh, and there's also a bigger and more complete Aerospace City ruin waiting for you.
New CharacterAs a key figure in Season 2, Yixuan is the current leader of Yunkui Summit. Her striking yellow cape easily leaves a deep impression. She will appear with new members from Defense Force's Obol Squad and the previously revealed idol group Angels of Delusion.
In 2.0, players can become a new disciple of Yunkui Summit and learn Yixuan's craft. Although it is not yet known what this is, with Yixuan as a mentor, it will be exciting to learn anything! Perhaps from now on, players will have to consciously accumulate $1.
New FactionsThere will be many major factions in Season 2. Some of them have appeared and returned again, and some are making their debut. They are Angels of Delusion and Obol Squad from Defense Force.
In addition, a new teaser trail will be released on April 13, through which players can learn more about what they want to know.
Other ImprovementsIn addition to the above new content, Version 2.0 also brings some gameplay improvements to everyone, which can effectively enhance the player's gaming experience.
Map EnhancementsThe map experience of Zenless Zone Zero has been greatly improved, integrating residential and combat areas together, bringing players a smoother and more realistic experience. From now on, there will be no more annoying long scene switching, which will make the game more convenient.
Especially Failume Heights, its scale has been expanded, and many new features have been added. All of this makes it more like a complete city. The larger scope also gives it unlimited expansion space in the future.
What is more concerning is that Failume Heights may have a new daily system to be released, and there may also be a mini-game about Suibian Temple. I hope the official will give more instructions about this mini-game in the future.
Travel System & UI ChangesMeanwhile, Zenless Zone Zero Season 2 also brings a new Travel System & UI.
Travel System: Version 2.0 not only brings a larger map format but also adds very convenient features such as mini-map and navigation tools. In addition, you can now travel directly between Failume Heights and Hollow without going to the video store! This really helps a lot, doesn't it? UI: New UI combines all content and everything together, so that Proxies can now enjoy faster destination selection speed and clearer New Eridu's geography.In addition to the above, the game has also made improvements in plot and combat methods, but the information we know is not enough at present. We will continue to pay attention to official information in the future. I hope to get more new surprises.
By the way, there is another very important news - the developer is exploring ways to release it to different platforms. It is said that Zenless Zone Zero will land on Xbox in the future! This means Xbox owners will also have the opportunity to experience ZZZ's exciting combat, breathtaking visuals, and a whole new chapter in Proxy's adventure.
As 2nd anniversary of Honkai Star Rail approaches, players' attention is subtly switching between 3.2 Amphoreus campaign update and the preview information of 3.3. After seeing the gameplay kit of Hyacine leaked in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.3, I was very curious - can this upcoming 5-star Wind Healer really change the current healing pattern of Luocha, Lingsha, and Huohuo?
The leak details Hyacine' s active abilities, her passive traces, her eidolons, etc. If the leaked information is accurate and has not changed after the release of Version 3.3, players can prepare for all these equipment in advance and pre-acquire them.
Version 3.3 LeaksAs an important NPC in Amphoreus plot line, Hyacine has aroused speculation since her debut due to her unique memosprite mechanism. Now HoYoverse has officially confirmed through official dynamics that this Remembrance Character will be launched as a playable character in May, and the equally popular Cipher will also be launched at the same time.
According to the current leaked information, we can clearly know the fact that players will consume numerous $1 in version 3.3, which may trigger a new round of resource hoarding craze.
Although version 3.2 has occupied the center of the topic with Castorice, Anaxa and Amphoreus campaign updates, with this leak of news, many players have set their sights on the more strategically profound version 3.3. According to the latest capture records of Honey Hunter World database, Hyacine's skill set presents an amazing composite healing characteristic, and its mechanism design around the dual core of Max HP & SPD may bring revolutionary changes to tactical system of Honkai Star Rail.
Hyacine Complete KitAccording to leaked information, Hyacine's Complete Kit contains three disruptive mechanisms:
Dynamic HP conversion system: Normal attacks directly link the percentage of maximum HP to maintain the output threat while stacking survival attributes. Memosprite Ica: This permanent summons inherits 50% of Hyacine's maximum HP. It can not only achieve full automatic endurance through out-of-turn healing, but also has a unique gain stacking mechanism. Petrichoric Clear Skies state: Three-turn Petrichoric Clear Skies state triggered by using Ultimate, at which time Hyacine will heal all team characters. The amount of healing is a certain percentage of her own maximum HP plus a fixed value.When Hyacine is in Petrichoric Clear Skies state, Ica will take action immediately after Hyacine uses a skill. When Ica triggers Talent's healing effect, it will restore additional HP to friendly targets. This powerful healing power can make the team worry-free, which makes Hyacine a good choice for players to build a team.
It is particularly worth noting that Ica is a non-turn-based action - this memosprite that does not appear on the action bar can trigger healing after any friendly unit acts. This kind of detachment from the traditional restriction mechanism completely breaks the tactical framework of the existing healing role. When paired with new Relic set Warrior Goddess of Daythunder, Ica's Gentle Rain effect triggered each round can provide an additional 15% team crit damage. Hyacine's design that deeply binds survival and output gain makes Hyacine's strategic value far beyond traditional healers.
Ideal BuildThe exclusive Relic Daybreak Thunder Valkyrie mentioned in the leaked intelligence is clearly designed to target Hyacine's mechanical pain points:
2-piece: It can increase the player's SPD by 60%, which also directly relieves the pressure of Hyacine build. 4-piece: When the treatment is triggered, it gains Gentle Rain state, providing an additional 6% SPD and 15% team critical damage.This set of Relics perfectly meets Hyacine's need for SPD and also forms a perfect closed loop with her own abilities. This makes it possible for her to become the most powerful healing profession and one of the characters with best sustain in Honkai Star Rail.
In terms of lineup matching, the synergy between Hyacine and Tribbie is particularly prominent - Tribbie can increase its own maximum HP according to the total maximum HP of its allies, so HP limit increase provided by Hyacine can be converted into double benefits, and this mechanism linkage may give birth to new tactics.
However, its strict build requirements may also become a problem - in order to exert the full strength, players need to obtain Relic and Ornament pieces with SPD as the sub-stat to meet her needs for SPD. This may require players to consume a lot of game resources to achieve. This high investment and high return feature may make Hyacine a good helper for krypton gold players. Civilian players may need to wait a little for the subsequent mechanism.
In any case, for players who lack a talented healer, Hyacine will be the best choice, and we look forward to her arrival bringing us more surprises!
I remember quite well the first time that I played Maple Story. It was right around 2011, and I had been playing World of Warcraft for about five years already. WoW had become my only video game; it was the one title that I had played for that whole time. I was tired of orcs and elves and demonic invasions and all of the mindless grinding. I needed a new game to play, one that was free. That is when I discovered the original Maple Story.
I immediately fell in love with the game. The MMO reminded me of the old side-scrolling adventure games that I had grown up with. It had a cute anime aesthetic that and also featured online MMORPG elements that allowed me to play with others. It was the switch that I needed, and it remained my go-to game for nearly two years.
Of course, just like everyone else, I eventually went back to playing WoW, but Maple Story remained a fun escape from time to time. I knew that Nexon was creating a sequel, but I had no idea when it would launch in America. Since 2015, players on the other side of the “pond” have been able to enjoy Maple Story 2 without a hitch, while us Americaenjoy the renovated sequel. Breaking the Dimensional BarrierMaple Story 2 is a loosely connected sequel to Nexon’s 2003 cult hit, Maple Story. The story of this game takes place in a magical realm called Maple World. There is a very generic plot based around a good goddess whose champions have banished the darkness from Maple World. That would be a reference to the first game. Now, in classic Asian literary fashion, the darkness that was once banished has now returned, for some reason. It is now up to some new heroes in Maple World to push the darkness back and bring about the peace and happiness that the world was made for. And guess what…you are that hero! Surprise!
For players who are familiar with the original game, they will immediately notice that the graphical design of the title is far different. The first Maple Story was a 2D side-scroller with limitations on where the characters could go. This made the game feel more like a “Metroidvania” than an actual open-world experience. Maple Story 2has added a whole new dimension to the gameplay, making Maple World a 3D landscape and allowing for the character to traverse the various zones that connect this world.
A Familiar FriendThroughout playing the free-to-play title, I have come to find that this game truly feels like the natural sequel to the first Maple Story. Everything from the classes to the platforming is brought directly from the initial game, and it has even been expanded upon. This game has added a few new classes to the mix, as well as live voice acting that is not terrible. The story, though somewhat generic, is entertaining and engaging, and each class gets to have their own path to follow. The content that is available is pretty sizable considering that this game costs nothing to play. Sure, some microtransactions will give the player extra cosmetics and the such, but one can quickly get the best gear without paying a dime.
The graphics and game controls are pretty standard for Maple Story 2. Many OG players will want to use the keyboard like the “good old days,” but I have found that using a Steam or Xbox controller allows for the best movement when the action gets intense. And trust me, this game might not look like it, but the battles can be incredibly harsh. Players are pitted against hordes of monsters, and since there are no factions in this game, each player can pitch in and help. I have found myself scrambling for safety as I try and reload my “steampunk” cannon to take a couple of pot shots at a couple of baddies. If you want a challenge, you will find plenty in Maple World.
An Easy Open World With LimitsMaple Story 2 may be called an MMORPG, but the fact remains that this game can be traversed with minimal help. As intense as the fights can get, the design of the game allows the player to take on the most difficult enemies with relative ease. Most quests will reward the player with either new armour or health potions, and it is not unusual to go into a massive fight with over 200 health potions at one time. This game offers plenty of carrots with very little stick for losing.
Exploration is a big part of the Maple Story experience. In this game, however, exploration is directly tied to the story. If a character wants to progress further on the map, then they must progress further in the story. This places plenty of limitations on the player when it comes to making choices. In most open world MMOs, the player can choose to gravitate from the main quest if they so choose. That is unfortunately not the case for this game.
A big part of the MMO experience is character customization. As fun as it is to create one’s avatar, I have found that Maple Story 2 limits that experience significantly. You see, I am a bald man with a beard, and I like my avatars to reflect that. I can not do that in this game. To be honest, I couldn’t even give my avatar facial hair. This shows me that Nexon wishes to have an army of baby-faced brawlers taking on the forces of evil.
The Final VerdictAs of now, I have logged in a little over 20 hours into this game and I plan on putting in much more. It is a fun game plays quite a bit like the original while still presenting players with a fresh experience as a standalone title. The maps and gameplay can be a little restrictive, but all of that is balanced out by the fast-paced gameplay and fun platforming mechanics.
This game is free-to-play and can be downloaded on Steam. With all of this said, Maple Story 2 gets 8 chibi’s out of 10 because those Maple characters are just too darn cute! They really could use some good facial hair though.

Anime seems to be all over my online world right now. Maybe I’m just a massive weeaboo, but with our recent coverage of Closers, Soulworker, and Peria Chronicles on the way, Japan seems to be creeping closer to home these days. Nexon, the team behind MapleStory haven’t been slow to jump on board as they unveil the MapleStory x Evangelion event.
Kicking off on February 28, the popular pixel art MMO is teaming up with the classic Japanese anime in a rather random, but cool crossover event. This includes tons of Evangelion themed rewards, quests, and battles to keep players entertained. Anybody logging in for the first time, after Feb 28, should receive a call from Dr. Kim to explain the specifics of the event. The Eva pilots and their titular mechanoids have been sucked through an inter-dimensional rift and are now trapped in the MapleStory universe. This includes Shinji Ikari, Rei Ayanami, and my own favorite Asuka Langley Sohryu. There’s no sign of Mari in her purple outfit or Kaworu Nagisa, as you find the teens tending to their Eva units in Dr. Kim’s laboratory.
It’s a plot line that easily fits any turn of the millennium anime, it makes absolutely no sense, but I’m a long-suffering Evangelion fan and that is par for the course. Rei, Shinji, and Asuka are quite accurately translated into the MapleStory universe, with on a cute Chibi facade that is especially adorable when applied to their Eva units. Characterization is surprisingly believable. Shinji is annoying, Asuka is still my personal pick of the three, and Rei is just as ambiguous and lost as fans of the series might remember. It’s a small sprinkling of flavor but giving these pixelated people some believable dialogue is a particularly endearing touch for those of us waiting for the next impact.
Players should also find a whole host of new quests and daily activities to help get these stranded Eva pilots acquainted with their new surroundings. These range from generic Eva unit repairs to tasks more suited to each pilot, and did I mention the Angel attacks?
Angels are humanities enigmatic enemies in the Evangelion universe. Massive black monsters, these seemingly indestructible entities stride across the horizon obliterating everything that stands against them, and some have slipped through with the Eva team. Every hour, Angel attacks take place in the center of town. These iconic advisories must be repelled by MapleStory’s citizens while the Eva units are being repaired.
Active players will be able to repeat these quests multiple times, earning a sizeable cache of Eva coins. These coins can be traded for a host of shiny rewards. Most notably a range of Rei, Shinji, and Asuka skins are available for your avatar. Chairs based on the Eva units and an iconic Evangelion scene between Shinji and Kaworu are also available, alongside hairstyles and Eva androids.
In the end, many of these quests are quite pointedly used to increase player engagement and keep you playing existing content. Whether it is used to incentivize players to stay logged in by holding a battery for thirty minutes, farm mobs for metal shards, or step into Monster Park to train, these do reward players active in the world. It introduces little in the way of insight or narrative, but that isn’t really the intention here. For players are regularly logging into the world, these quests act as a suitably fresh taste to regular content, and honestly, it is very cool to see an Angel stomp into town and pick a fight.
I have to be honest, I don’t play MapleStory as much as I’d like, but I am a massive Evangelion fan and that is clearly what hooked me. While MapleStory doesn’t have the same deep technical capabilities of massive open world MMORPGs, there are moments that are crafted with a clear reverence for the source material. If you want to battle Angels, the Maplestory X Evangelion event is on now.

MapleStory 2 is not what you might have come to expect from Korean MMOs – neither overearnest nor obsessed with the rush of leveling for its own sake. Instead, this is an MMO for those who love stories and exploration.
Within minutes you can be accidentally setting fire to an anime Hogwarts as a wizard delinquent. Then the game shifts gears – insofar as horse-drawn caravans have gears – and you’re facing off against a bunch of vile villains… with wings. This is a fantasy game, after all.
A lot of game developers lose their sense of humor when faced with building a fantasy world, but MapleStory 2 has comedy baked into its very being. From it's reluctant yet impatient protagonist to its somewhat irresponsible authority figures, the game’s epic story hits different beats than other MMOs – even while satisfying the nostalgic need for RPG heroes and villains.
Getting around that world is a new prospect, too. MapleStory 2 is viewed from on high, which lends its land to exploration, and distinguishes it as an MMO that isn’t simply chasing after World of Warcraft.
ENTER A NEW DIMENSION
You might remember the original MapleStory as a side-scroller, unusual in its genre for making use of vertical space. With MapleStory 2 the series has transitioned into 3D – but that shouldn’t be taken as a sign that it’s become more conventional. Rather than a third-person RPG, MapleStory 2’s world is made up of isometric dioramas, retaining its cute and accessible presentation.
"EXPLORING FEELS LIKE EXPLORING, NOT JUST LEGGING IT TO THE NEXT QUEST NPC"
It’s attractively blocky, both in the tiered lecture halls of the magic school and out in the wide world, where the oaks are so tall they could contain a whole street of tree houses. It’s no less vertiginous either since you can climb any surface in the game. Exploring feels like exploring, rather than simply legging it from one exclamation mark to the next.
This is a complete reimagining of MapleStory, filling out familiar personalities and locations from the first game in three dimensions – whether that’s the cozy mushroom town of Henesys, or urbanized thief hideout Kerning City. And, of course, that means you can customize your character from every angle too…
BECOME WHO YOU WERE MEANT TO BE
MapleStory 2 has a stylised aesthetic – so much so that its wizards are taught specifically how to deal with the disarming threat of “cute monsters” – but there’s still plenty of styling left to do yourself. The game begins with character customization that’s, well, more characterful than you might be used to – we paired a ‘Lovely Breeze’ hairdo with a ‘Scoffing Face’. This is an editor very much in tune with the priorities of its audience, allowing you to determine the exact size and position of your pigtails.
The customization extends even beyond the locks that brush against your elbows. You can not only craft and smith accessories but upload your own designs for weapons and armor. The sense of freedom only expands as you get deeper into the design of your fantasy character. Color your hair green and your eyes red – nobody here will stop you from expressing yourself.
PUT DOWN ROOTS
The spirit of adventure may be eternal, but eventually, the nomadic lifestyle of MapleStory 2 needs to be supported with rest, and so at some point, it’s time to settle down. Thankfully, the game grants you the ability to carve out a space for yourself with your own house.
Rather than simply a glorified treasure chest in which to dump your stuff, MapleStory 2’s house system allows you to buy and place furniture manually, as you would in a domestic builder like The Sims. It’s an idea that gels nicely with the game’s charmingly presented cuboid world, while also leaving room for plenty of complexity should you seek it out. If you’re feeling ambitious, for instance, you might want to create a circuit system for your appliances. Rare is the RPG that accurately represents the importance of white goods.
It’s possible to hire staff and start a farm – or stuff your mansion with expensive objects and invite your friends over to see how the other half live. If that’s not company enough, you can convert your home into a pub and welcome perfect strangers instead.
INDULGE IN RPG NOSTALGIA
Clambering over the scenery in MapleStory 2 isn’t just a way to keep yourself entertained on the way from quest A to quest B. Every map in the game has specific exploration goals to complete, whether that’s catching a taxi from Lith Harbor, or taking in Tria’s graffiti. It’s the kind of encouragement to engage with the world that MMOs so rarely make time for – though, MapleStory 2 finds space for the traditional satisfactions of the genre, too.
There’s an epic story quest, plus challenging dungeons and raids, which you can play through like a knight, berserker, wizard, priest, archer, heavy gunner, thief, assassin, or the brand new Runeblade. MapleStory 2’s class roster has expanded since it was released in Korea three years ago, so now you get a wealth of options when deciding how you’ll play through the game. Pick a class and set out to save the universe from evil, basking in the melodrama and all the laughs you’ll get from MapleStory 2’s frequent knowing winks to RPG convention.

The kid-friendly anime MMORPG MapleStory 2 allows players to design their own costumes and sell them to other players through the marketplace. But of course, not only decent clothes are in circulation here.
Actually, a cool idea to sell self-designed costumes in the very successful MMORPG MapleStory 2 to other players. But the Internet is simply a place where people live out their indecent fantasies.
MapleStory 2 has a problem with inappropriate costumesWhat happened? The feature of designing your own costumes in MapleStory 2 and offering them for sale through the marketplace is currently being "abused" by some players. Namely, these indecent and inappropriate clothes design and circulate them through the marketplace. So it is, for example, possible to buy an Adolf Hitler costume or SM clothing made of patent leather and leather.
But many players and also the developer Nexon do not find that funny. After all, the recently launched MapleStory 2 is aimed not only at adult players but also at a younger audience.
Where is the problem? Although Nexon states that the marketplace is actively being reviewed and players can also send a notification of inappropriate content to the team, the design feature is so well used that Nexon is simply overwhelmed.
Again and again, costumes slip through, which should not be offered so actually. Nexon itself explains that due to the number of offers, the review process takes longer than expected. But the team's goal is to respond faster and find the inappropriate items better.

There are also keyword filters that do not allow words like "trump" or "porn" in the description of a costume, yet it takes little effort to find inappropriate costumes:

For many, this was easy to see, because the Internet is so "ticking". There will always be players who exploit and "misuse" such systems.

Enjoy says on Kotaku, "That's what I expect from an item shop of this kind. There are many ways to filter these things before they come to the store, but I think they will not do that. "
Castagere Shaikura says on Massively OP, "When do game developers wake up? You can never give players such a "power". Especially not in an online game. "

After a long hiatus, MapleStory 2 opened its new servers to Korea and China and finally to Europe. Upon opening, we will review the gameplay, graphics, characters and small and small features of the game and leave you with a MapleStory 2 guide.
MapleStory 2, the now-evolved version of MapleStory, a 2003 role-playing 2D role-playing game, comes in front of the players with a 3-D (but isometric, fixed-angle) gameplay. With its minimalist and anime-style graphics, MapleStory 2 features elements that we can call childish and very cute vein terms of gameplay.
When we enter the game we will encounter characters from the screen starting with you gradually progress to the subtleties of the game.
There are 9 different classes in the game: Knight, Berserker, Priest, Assassin, Wizard, Thief, Archer, Heavy Gunner and more recently joined Runeblade. Briefly recognize the features:
KNIGHTIn this game, our tank class, carrying all the damage on the shoulders of each group, is Knight. Although it has a lot of defensive and vital features, its limited power, low range, and low mobility can make the class difficult to maintain in the PvP.BERSERKERYes, Berserker is actually the class that the players want. Our crazy fighter has a remarkable damage, a weapon that swings very fast and a lot of skills into your head, and a considerable range of range for a mob class. While using this class, you have a power that says en I hit myself!PRIESTPriest theme, which helps the teammates without getting mixed with meat and milky in many games of our time, is a little different in this game. Priest showing his compassionate face to his teammates with blessings and healing spells; it can also produce amazing damage with a decision from the skies, which makes it a rival that cannot be struck in the PvP.
ASSASSINFlies, escapes, shurikens thrown from right to left. Yes, to Assassin. As a series of talent, Assassin, which resembles a ninja instead of an assassin, stands out with invisibility and high mobility. The Assassin, which is everywhere, has weaknesses. Assassin class, hiding and hiding "Bazinga!" It is perfect for those who want to play fugitive and make their opponents mad.WIZARD
The Wizard has a tremendous range and damage; Using ice, fire and lightning, it overcomes its rivals. The giant flame hoses that he creates burn up in front of each other. And for those who are able to overcome all the magic that clumps up and reach the Wizard, they have a very low defense.
THIEF
Or I never kiss my dear or I don't like a snake. Su
Thief, which was also designed with the theme of the assassin, acts like a snake and has little touch on his opponent. You think you haven't suffered any damage at all, and that's why you're at odds with Thief, who opened up the distance between you and the poison that was on you until you started shooting like a child.
ARCHERWith its high range and extreme sleight of hand, Archer is probably one of the easiest classes you can play in PvE. Shoot field damage, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, and kill all the monsters! Although it has a simple gameplay, it is an ideal choice for those who know how to keep the distance.HEAVY GUNNERLet's give a little detail about Heavy Gunner, who uses a big machine gun. The voice of the class was performed by the same vocalist as Jinx's voice from League of Legends. As for the character traits after this little information, the waiting time of the character with a moderate power range, as well as great power and agility, greatly disrupt the work. Even if you can cause high damage instantly, you need to learn how to protect yourself because you cannot sustain continuous damage.in RUNEBLA
Magic, weapons, and destruction. You don't have to decide if I play a warrior or not. With the new Runeblade class, you have the chance to play both. You're enchanting your weapons and you're dragging the elements, then you jump on your target. When you come near your opponent's breathing, lightning thunder lightning thunder.
After selecting one of these 9 classes, we are starting to customize our character. I can say that I have not encountered any MMORPG on a screen that is as cringe as the character customization screen of MapleStory 2. You can start the game by choosing from 10 to 15 costumes and shoes from the screen as you dressed in the theater outfit.
When we pass the tutorial in the game, we get into a map where we can be with other players and our adventure begins. By opening the missions and sometimes by entering the dungeons by leveling talent points with the ability to open our hero's abilities. In addition to this, we can increase our basic features (power, skill, luck, etc.) with the stat scores that come with the levels. The game has a map system in the region, consisting of squares that make you feel like the same Minecraft. As the game progresses, we are moving on the map, but according to a minimalist game, we can say that the map is quite large. Speaking of Minecraft, we should not even say: MapleStory 2 is an interactive game with the environment. So you can cut trees, knock down hedges, and even use the surrounding objects to shoot and toss them during a battle.
Inside the game, there are a lot of mini-games from the dance floor to Mario Kart style car races, from Monopoly to the track and even to Bomberman. As you level up, the features you bring to the game increase as you increase on each map. In MapleStory 2, a game based entirely on the freedom of gameplay, you can cling to the flying balloons if you want, and you can rise up on the map. In the game full of fun, there are a lot of passengers, from drones to drones, from paper planes to flying piggies, to battle tanks.
Although the game has plenty of ı home cilik style activities like having your own home and participating in countless activities where you can interact with other players, the game's war system will satisfy you with a big piece in the game and the destruction of what you are looking for.
MapleStory 2, which is a game based on the fullness of a high in terms of content, unfortunately, does not have the features to compete with its rivals in terms of graphics. Having an anime-style game and a lot of content to pour into the image, the game's graphics levels inevitably draw a bit down. Some of the space skills have been avoided in the design of tissue repetition. They wanted to place the same effect on more than one place and create a sense of wealth in the heads. At the same time, the number of skills that the classes have to be limited restricts your diversity to improve your character status. We can say that the way you use your character in many different styles is closing.
In order to make the final decision about the game in total, we have to consider:
The game has various activities to refresh the person's attention.In the game you can add character to your character is a specialization.The class system of the game is satisfactory.The game is interactive with the environment.But:
The game is from a graphics base to a rather inadequate compared to other games in our age.There is little understanding of the war.The ability to customize your character stats and find different mechanics is limited.In the game you can approach the map with a single angle from the top, you can not change the perspective of StarCraft II, there is a visual layout in the form of DarkOrbit games.Within the framework of these assessments, we have left you to take your place in the flood of players who have flown to MapleStory 2, who has just joined Europe and close our review with the introduction video of the game. Stay tuned for future reviews!
