I have played this game for about a week or so and have Soul Manipulator who is lvl 45 and a 32 level Berserker. *This is for people who I know will say you are trying to review without actually playing.

Graphics : 6/10. The respectable rating because  for a 2.5d game it is  pretty good.  But the skill graphics could have been better.  I would have given the graphics a 9 it it was not for the static camera. I mean common you could zoom in even in Ragnarok but there is no camera angle customization in this game whatsoever. I mean you can even move the screen to get a better view to see your character better. But then as the developers said the graphics were never intended to be a selling point for this game and if you are a graphic bug this game would be disappointing for you.

Gameplay : 8.5/10. Yes are state wars, yes the guild function is revolutionary but still I found the gameplay extremely dull. It is just like the other F2P mmorpgs out there where select the target use the skill yada yada........... The 6.5 rating is because of mounts and statewar which is  Interesting and fun. The life skills are not implemented very well according to me. Now magic stones really raises the gameplay to another level and makes every armor very different because each of them is different and has different elements but there are very few types of armor which again spoils this amazing function.

Character Customization : 3/10. Its just pathetic. I mean yes there are job changes every 15 levels or so but still there is no stat arrangement, no talents, limited number of skills which everyone can get, so in a way everyone looks almost the same and has the same skills(I mean the same Jobs a warrior cant have a mage skills that is common sense) and there is hardly any difference between your character and any other character of the same job. That means every Warrior is same, every Mage is same etc.

Community : 6/10.  The rating is mainly because of the forums which is quite lively and filled with helpful people, but again this feature is hampered because of the ingame botting. I know the botting idea sounds cool but after sometime it becomes very irritating because EVERYONE is always botting. Who would want to do quests and level up when you can actually do something else and still get level ups. It makes it almost impossible to meet someone actually playing.

Roleplay : 1/10. Yes thats one out of ten I know its shocking but very true.  The game does not  have any Lore  or anything like it, the quests are  absolutely meaningless and if your into roleplay this game is absolutely not for you.

Sound : 6.5/10. Again the music of this game is pretty good but soon becomes monotonous and  irritating. Actually I am not the right person to comment about sound because I am not sound freak;  this is mainly due to me listening to music while playing.

So all in all I give this game an average 5.1/10. I think this game was mainly made for people with very little time so they could bot all week and play state wars during the weekends. If your into sandbox games or games with a lot character customization and lore this game is not for you.

Please pardon any spelling errors or typos.
