The art style is great, the classes are fun and the combat is truly fantastic. The actual RPG and crafting aspect of the game is not reinventing the wheel, but it does what it does well. The one thing I will say is that the matchmaking could be a little better as I was often paired with people sometimes as much as 20 levels above me.īlade and Soul is a game that is the kind of game you will either really love or not get into. The combat in the PvE is good, but it is not as much fun as these arena battles are. The combat is very fast and fluid and you feel like a true warrior when you pull off devastating attacks. Your gear is all equalized, but you will want to make sure you have played a lot of PvE as your level will be what it is and you will only have access to all your abilities if you have already unlocked them in the PvE.Ĭombat is an absolute blast there are not many MMORPG games that give you this kind of control when it comes to combat. What is cool about this is that you guys are equals in the arena. You jump into the arena lobby and you will get to go toe to toe with another player. Blade and Soul handles combat differently from other MMORPG games like Terra Online or Black Desert. One of the best things about Blade and Soul and one of the reasons so many people have been excited about it is the combat. There are many quests most of which are your standard MMORPG style of go there, collect that, bring that to me, kill that, save that and so on. To be fair the story is interesting enough that you will actually want to do this and it is fun. Well in order to get fully leveled up as quickly as possible and to also unlock cool items and abilities you have to put your time in the PvE portion of the game. You may think you will jump in, do the tutorial and then just head into the PvP aspect of Blade and Soul. To be honest, it is all personal preference, but one thing I will say is that you can make some pretty badass looking warriors in this game. On the other hand, some folks may not like the scantily clad, bouncing boobs of the female characters that they have gone for. On one hand, you have a lot of options at your disposal and it is very easy to create any kind of male or female character you would like. Talking about the character creation tools in Blade and Soul is a bit of a mixed bag. The story unfolds quite slowly, but it is well enough written and interesting enough to keep you hooked. The basics of the story are that once you have created your character you are out for revenge! The evil and the mysterious Jinsoyun killed your master and your friends and you want revenge and answers. Some folks may not get into the story of Blade and Soul, but it is pretty fun and something like you would have seen on a Saturday morning cartoon back in the ’80s. It got many people excited and thankfully now we all can get in on Blade and Soul and see what all the hype s about. Blade and Soul is a Korean MMORPG that was actually released a few years back in the East.
