Maplestory Review

Maplestory is a 2D sidescrolling MMORPG..In maplestory , there are a wide selection of classes known as "jobs" such as Wariors , Magicians , Archers , Thieves , Gunslingers , and Pirates..Each and every job has its characteristics just like magicians , they could freeze monsters teleport next to them and flank other mobs at medium range and wariors could build up their combo damage multiplier and makes their damage stronger and archers are devasasting at long range but you'll most likely to bang your buck when mobs comes at close range and Thieves could throw shurikens and strike with daggers with quick attack speed. The map is a sidescrolling map and when you wanna go to another map or something , you'll have to press up on magic portals . The entire maple world is made out of chains of maps with will lead you to diffrent places and diffrent worlds.

The movement of your character is simulated throught your keyboard..that means you dont have to youse your mouse here.. your character cant run they can only walk and you have to arm yourself with a weapon to attack..you cant even run but you could WALK faster by flash jumping , teleporting , potions , skills and etc.Your character 's apearance had a big stubby head and a SMALL body and girls are REALLY FLAT CHESTED in this game with dosnt simulates real life. Your HUD 'heads up display' had simple compartments . your level and job is on the left followed by your HP and Mp bar and on the right was your quickslot inventory and your EXP bar.

The monsters were cute and sometimes ugly and plain retarded the monster's AI was really dumb and they attack on sight or either attack when disturbed. You will gain damage if they touch you or they use their skills. Low leveled monsters will just try to touch you until you die =.= . Your combat system can only hit one monster at a time but other skills will let you hit more . There isnt any lockon and theres a slight pushback effect once the enmy recieves an effective hit . Each time you hit a monster a REALLY large damage counter comes out from your attack and pink and larger ones are critical damages. Each time you level up there're be 2 things the players might wanna do . they will add their stats to increase their damage and effeciency and start adding skill points that improves that skill . Quest in this game isn't rewarding at all and the ENTIRE point of this game is just GRIND AND GRIND AND GRIND until you reach a certain level and GRIND AND GRIND AND GRIND...This game makes me feels like theres no perpose for you here...nothing you could do but to press the same button over a thousand times..This that what makes it boring...BUT to casual gamers...they will find this game REALLY INTRESTING AND ADDICTIVE . When you die you actually loose experiece and really gets owned after dying after all that hours spent on your character was gone..

Items and Equipments were being sold from level 1 to 50 in shops any items above that , you had to hunt for yourselves. Upgrading your items is a Pain in the ass...You had to buy scrolls from players or hunt them yourself which is extremely rare and unpredictable . Theres a diffrent sucess rate for each and every scroll which you want to use on your item . Your item has a few slots for upgrades . The if the scrolls pass..you get a little extra amount of damage or stat to your item while taking away 1 slot if it fails...it just wastes your time and takes away 1 slot too..Theres another scroll which is cursed and has a 10% higher rate to suceed but if it fails...IT COMPLETELY destroys your item . This is a real problem for many players and if they keep hunting for this scroll they will be playing that game forever...Thats why the developers are GETTING their real money from cheap costs from this game...There are even things that could boost your exp gains and prevents you from dying.

There are 2 diffrent type of items. cash items and normal items...Normal items are practically armour from those middle ages and all that and CASH items are actually clothes from the 21st century and they DO nothing and it just makes you look good..the cash item masks over your normal item and making you look GOOD and still having the stats..which i think its a total waste of money because these cash items will expire in 1 or 3 months..You cant even choose your colour for the items and even CHANGING HAIR needs RM50++..and although it could last forever...the coulour needs another extra RM 20++..I still dont get it why they had this type of system...although the new episode 2 patch has more value and lowered price...I still think its a waste of time..

I have two ratings for this game from diffrent point of views
