So Dragon Sky, one of Aeria game's new releases has recently gone open beta. I'm not typically a big fan of Aeria but this one seems decent. Here are some quick pros/cons I thought up during my first bit of time playing.

Pros:

Nice combat system. Combat looks nice and is smooth. Emphasis is placed on AOE, and every "class" can hit multiple mobs at once. It really does look nice, check out the gameplay videos to see what I mean.

No set classes. You do pick a starting discipline, but you are not bound to this path by any means. It is however best to focus on one or two skillsets rather than throwing points all over the place.

I find the martial arts theme interesting but YMMV.

Quick download/patch (1.2GB or so)

Relatively easy to learn.

No wipe after open beta.

Cons:

The interface is generic. Nothing exciting going on here.

The game is only about 30% localized. Lots of bad translation but they have made improvements since CB.

This game is F2P and so has an item shop, I don't have any info on this at the moment though. Hopefully it won't be too bad.

I have heard there is a lack of endgame content beyond PvP.

Obviously there are still some bugs due to it being in beta.

Other thoughts:

The graphics/animation outside of comat are decent but not fantastic by any means. It doesn't hurt my eyes to look at though.

Character creation is also decent. You get a fair amount of face/hair options for both male and female characters. None of them look particularly goofy or bad, but they are obviously influenced by the many other Korean games out there.

All in all I'd say it's another standard Korean F2P by Aeria games, but it does have some things going for it and might be worth a look if you can't afford to pay out for one of the big titles.

I could say more but I am getting tired of typing. Check out the website if this looks interesting to you. I am playing under the name "Nil" and will be on this evening. Hit me up if you decide to give it a try.

I shall give it a try, Who knows. Thanks for the info.

p.s. Dont forget to post a link to the game site :P

(And links to some screenshots might be usefull as well :D)

Edit: While downloading the game, I wanted to get a feel of what the game looked like, found a few vids on there main site, watched them, thens aw the lack of decent work. Alot of flat plains and wide open areas full of monsters. Sure you can hit multiple monsters, but even from the vid it was getting repetitive. I'm sorry, this is a game i'm going to have to pass on.

Your Lord,
