Angels Online

I am actually sorta impressed with this game. As far as 2D anime-inspired Korean grindfests go, this one is actually managing to hold my interest for longer than 20 minutes, which is a record.

The training area at the beginning is actually kinda fun. You do some quests, get 5 credits if you just wanna get through it, or 15 credits (1-3 from each quest) and then talk to a guy to head into a dungeon, get some items, then summon and kill a boss.

It has you working for something from the very beginning, that isn't just levels and equipment. The quests actually don't seem like they were thrown together in 5 minutes like other games like this.

Then when you graduate you get to choose between four different factions, and then go to that faction's hometown to start off the real game. I chose the Shadow faction, and the tone of the game completely changed into a more dreary one... the music and characters just fit perfectly.

So far, the game isn't feeling like much of a grind at all, but I am only level 14, so I am sure that'll change.

This game may not have much for customization, but it has more than most of these games do... I mean, there's actually a wide variety of hair colors to choose from, though only like 6 hairstyles, and 3 different heights, and all three, honestly, are a step up from many other games. Not that it makes much of a difference once you put on a helmet, but meh.

The animations for combat aren't the greatest, but they're not that bad.

One major complaint I have is that the bosses are incredibly tough for the level you get the quests at. The first guy in the training palace I needed help from a couple of 19's or so to kill. I was 11. And even then, the guy had to spam like 20 potions.

I am levbel 14, and I did one quest to kill 30 easy skeletons. Then got a quest now to kill the head skeleton... and he hits me for around 320 a hit, and I only have like near 700 health.

But that's not way too major of  a concern. I'll get it done eventually. :P

Anyway, that's all from me. Off I go to maybe play it for a bit. Laters.
