IGN SEA First Impressions: Maplestory 2

Remember those long nights over and above Kerning City? Or the time once you and your friends would team around complete the Moon Bunny�s Rice Cake quest just beyond Henesys? Well, you can go through the nostalgia again as Nexon�s Maplestory 2 is definitely around the corner!

Maplestory 2 took elements on the classic game that played inside the early 2000s and brought it to the modern era of MMORPGs. Right away from the MapleStory 2 Mesos bat, you'll see the change of aesthetics. The game has evolved coming from a pixel-generated graphical map right into a 3D block-like environment, that seems comparable to Minecraft but by using it's own charm and aesthetic.

The game differs from its predecessor and doesn�t promote heavy grinding to level up your characters. The quests given in the sport will naturally progress your character, making for some pretty quick leveling. These quests are a cute compulsory playthrough and from a while it lets you do feel a lttle bit draggy as I started skipping cutscenes and dialogs to finish the quest and collect my rewards.

Talking about cutscenes, there are strategy to many of these. In the primary 10 minutes of my playthrough, half of these time was spent just watching cutscenes. Of course, the choice to skip them perhaps there is, but as being a hardcore fan from the original, I wanted to make sure I didn't overlook any with the new story bits. As it is right this moment, it feels like the experience tries way too hard to immerse me to the new Mapleworld with these, when I really simply wanted to start playing the experience and see everything for myself.

The core gameplay mechanic of spamming spells and healing pots on the original game are also removed. Now we have a "Spirit" bar instead with the usual "Mana" bar to complete skills and spells. The bar recharges relatively fast, however we have been limited by skill cool downs which are additionally a new thing. Unlike before where skills and spells could possibly be spammed to your hearts content, now I found myself carefully timing my skill activations, rotating them wisely absolutely maximize my character's damage output. (No More Standing In Front Of Mobs & Mindlessly Clicking Two Buttons.)

The skills itself think so much better to execute. When you use a spell or ability, your character performs somersaults & spins, making for the fresh and exciting experience if this comes to battling monsters. You feel more committed & invested on the fight overall.

Maplestory 2 has increased substantially the quantity of customisations you will make during the character creation process. Now you can alter everything from nice hair to your shoes with plenty of options for each and every. Fans with the original Maplestory will probably be happy to are aware that Nexon has kept almost all of its original music tracks in familiar areas. So, you can have that nostalgic feel completely force.

The game currently is at closed beta and may release in a number of weeks. Unfortunately, the overall game does not have an avid Southeast Asian server with the moment, but you can only hope that Nexon hears our cries and let everyone to revisit their childhood memories.
