At the recent Korean G-Star convention, Vindictus was awarded the “Grand Prize,” a Presidential Award, and six other awards at the 2010 Korea Game Awards. Nexon also announced that MapleStory DS won the ‘Excellence Award’ and ‘Popular Game Award’ in the PC/Video Game category. Dungeon and Fighter: Slayer won the ‘Excellence Award’ in the Mobile Game category.
Vindictus received high scores for its superior action and graphics.
