Weapons speak louder than words
Blade and Soul integrates A-RPG elements to the MMO concept, creating a unique and immersive environment for fans of both worlds. Conquer dungeons, monsters, and other players in nonstop action.
Gear up and tear up
Gear up and get busy fighting through battlefields and dungeons in this super flashy hack-n-slash MMORPG with imaginative avatars.
First thing about this game that would impress any player is the character creation. The customization here is beyond belief. You have access to an arsenal of cosmetic and attire features. As a result, you won’t find any similar-looking avatars on the battlefield. Heads up: the female characters may seem oversexualized and designed to be provocative.
You might find the graphics of this MMO dull and dated, but the smooth controls and interactions more than compensate for that. Movements are very fluid and realistic, and you can see certain body physics depending on your processor FPS.
BnS’s powerful special effects offer super satisfying combat. Stunning explosions and screen vibrations emphasize your attacks. You can feel the devastating impact and damage you inflict. The combat engine of this game rivals that of Phantasy Star Online, one of the most popular MMORPG in the genre.
As you advance toward the endgame, your progression tends to slow down, and the whole experience becomes a grind fest. Though your gear and skills can keep upgrading nearly forever, the only way to do that is by playing dungeons. It can get pretty boring to do the same activity over and over again for the majority of game time.
Where can you run this program?
This application is installable on computers with Windows Vista, Windows 7, and later operating systems. There is also a mobile version of the game available on Android and Apple devices.
Is there a better alternative?
No. Blade and Soul has one of the best combat mechanics in today’s MMORPG, and it for free. There are similar games like PSO2 or Lost Ark, but they are still in beta and have not been released to the West.
Our take
This is one of those rare MMOs that puts a heavy focus on the action and PVP aspect. You can never find a dull moment when playing the game. An absolute must-try.
Should you download it?
Yes. If constant battle and bloodbath are your thing, then you need to download and give this game a whirl.
