Once upon a time, there was a time when monsters ruled over the world and human beings were merely a small community. White Dragons, the king of the monsters, worried about the world becoming deserted and despaired due to the exceeding number of monsters. Therefore, they kept the balance between the monsters by waking up from their hibernation and eliminating any monster species that threatened to take over the world by overpopulating themselves.

Comment: I’ve reviewed Rakion before, but decided to write a more well written review.Rakion is an online MMORPG that can be very fun, no matter what genre you are into. This was actually one of the first online game that I played, and I really liked it. After I had played the game for some time, my computer decided to stop working and I left the game. 4 years later I returned to the game and the game was still pretty good, but far away from being as good as it was.

There are 5 classes in Rakion. Warrior, Blacksmith, Ninja, Archer and Mage. Each class got its own advantages and its weaknesses. I think that the classes are well balances. No class to powerful or to weak. It just depends on how you build and play with your character. Sadly, the classes are gender locked. So you can’t choose which gender you want to be, but that’s not something that really mattered for me. The lvl cap is lvl 99, but once you reach that lvl, you can class advance which makes you go down to a random lower level, but you can use a new weapon with a different fighting technique than when you haven’t class advanced. But you can still fight with old one, instead of the one you get if you want. It’s your decision. When you have filled a bar during a game (you fill it by getting kills) you can go into chaos mode. It transforms your character to a.. Not sure what it is. But you get a lot stronger. But not too strong, since you can still be killed if the enemies cooperate to kill you. But chaos mode is something that I really like about this game.

There are many different game modes in this game. Golem Wars, where the goal is to defeat the golden golem so that you get some kind of ”mysterious power” so you can defeat the enemy team’s golem. There is Boss War, where the highest lvls in each team becomes the boss of the team. The other team is going to try to kill the other team’s boss. And obviously team deathmatch and solo deathmatch. Doubt I need to explain them. You can also play ”stages” that are some kind of campaign. You enter a stage where the purpose is to either defeat all the creatures, defend a creature, defeat as many creatures as you can within a time limit and just survive until the time runs out. It’s quite fun and is probably what I like to do the most in Rakion.

The community in Rakion is good I guess. There are many friendly players but then there are players that doesn’t care about others. Some players doesn’t care about the rules and use cells (your pets that fights for you) or items that are not allowed in a game. And when the other players complain about the person breaking the rules, they often answer with stuff like ”Cry me a river” which is very annoying. There aren’t many hackers in this game. I rarely see one which is very good.

There are new event each month. Some people might think that this is a good thing, but it isn’t. And I think that you would agree with me if you have played Rakion. This ends up with that people farm, where they take turns to kill each other to get event points, that can be used in the vent points shop where you can buy very good items and cells.

What I don’t like about Rakion is that the game relies much on how much cash (in-game money) you buy, or how much you farm. Because if you don’t farm for event points or don’t buy cash you have no chance against the other players, if you aren’t playing in basic mode, where armor, lvl or anything else matters. A mode where it’s all about skills. But if you’re not playing that, then you are screwed if you don’t buy cash or farm.

Something that Softnyx really should change is the power of the cells. Most of the cells are much stronger than the players, which makes Rakion more to a cell wars than player wars. Fortunately, you can disable cells when you create a game. But it’s fun to use your cells that can help you get kills. For four years ago there wasn’t very strong cells but now? There are really overpowered cells, like Musketeerking. The strongest cell in the game. When it is lvl 99, it can kill you with one blow. Some people even have 3 musketeerkings lvl 99, so all you have to do is to cell all of them and bam. You won the game.

The trading system is probably the worst I’ve seen in any game. Well, the game doesn’t really have a trading system, only a gift system. If you want to trade with someone, you’ll have to buy a gold stamp or a cash stamp, depending if your item is bought with gold or cash. Then one of the traders have to send the item first which isn’t safe at all. If you are trading with the wrong player, he could just get the item and say he didn’t get anything or something like that. Fortunately, you can get your item back if you send a message to the GMs but you’ll have to provide with evidence such as screenshots.

I’ll have to say that the graphics are quite good though. The are many different colors and each of the maps are very well made. The characters all look good. The cells and the armor are wonderfully made. It’s doesn’t bug at all when you attack either. The sounds are quite good too. Although the sounds of the musketeerking can be quite annoying sometimes though. Otherwise, everything is fine.

The customer service is quite bad though. I don’t think that they read the messages that the players send, because each of the answers are about exactly the same. It just depends on what you are asking about. Every player that writes something about scams, gets about the same answer.

Overall, it might sound like the game got many cons. And it does. But it doesn’t change the fact that it can be incredibly fun too. It can be very hard to stop playing the game once you have gotten good stuff and cells.

Comment: I think Rakion is a great online MMORPG. But it’s not very good that to be the best in Rakion you have to purchase cash. You can choose between 5 characters. Ninja, mage, blacksmith, archer and warrior. I think that warrior is the best. It’s an all round type. Blacksmith is strongest but attacks slow. Archer is a range character as you can understand. Mage is walking very slow but is good at range. And ninja is the fastest but her attacks basic attacks are pretty weak. You can also turn into chaos mode and become stronger, which is good. But there’s some hackers that ruins the game. I think that the graphics are very good but can be better. Many courts and some game modes including, Team Deathmatch, Stages, Clan wars, Solo mode, Boss mode and some other.

Comment: Wow, looking back at my old post i look like an idiot. Let me edit that… Okay this game is a GREAT game. Sure people use tons of real money to rape everyone else but it’s all about skill. A level 1 can kill a level 99 with ease and vice versa.People are just naive and think that you need real money to rape. Give it a shot and get good. You’ll win a lot more than you think.

Comment: Based on what ive heard and based on everything I have experienced…
1) Game is based on luck (Mostly because the combos are less than 10 hits unless your a power user attacking someone with low attack speed, but even then I don’t even that consider that a combo, just same attack spam.)
2) Cells are a real problem in this game. All the good cells are cash. People may say otherwise, but even when it looks like event cells may be the best, they come out with a counter part. It costs 1000-3000$ to be the best in the game, maybe even more. Rediculous pricing has pissed off a few people, especially since sometimes you don’t get the items you paid for.
3) Event items that are timed and you have them permament change back to limited time again after the event sometimes. (Which means you wasted your life on collecting presents, boxes, eggs, or whatever just getting the item.
4) Customer service fails. If you complain about anything you get the same response, and they don’t even answer your question directly usually. There maybe a few good gms, but most of them suck. If you want good customer service, this game IS NOT the game for you.
5) Tier lists and correctly lable Blacksmith as the best character. All blacksmiths have to do is spam special and your pretty much dead. Mages spam basic and ice. Swordsman basic too much. Ninjas just spam glide (Which gives you invisibility frames and has a low cooldown.) Low levels the game is based on who can wait for their opponent to attack the longest.
6)Enchanting is rediculous. At +4 you have a chance to break your item. At all enchants levels you have a chancce to lower your item 0 to -3. They sell enchanting equipment but there is no point in even spending money on enchanting since it’s going to either delevel or break. Enchanting has an extremely high failrate to even get to +4. Event cores prevent breaking or deleveling of enchanted equipment but even then, with it’s high failrate, why would it even matter?
7) The enchants are extremely overpowered if you suceed. If you enchant all wearable to +20, (Consider it luck, there is no skill in enchanting at all) then you gain at max +80 to all attack points. That means 90 Basic Attack for a warrior will now be 170.
8) Most of the community in rakion is immature. I noticed if you don’t talk and sometimes even flame up your sword, ninja star taunt, mage shield taunt, archer short sword taunt, and etc, (taunt) you will gain alot of peoples favor. (I don’t see how taunting gains favor but it does some reason at times.)
9) They have a stat limit. That means your points cannot go past a certain point. That also means that if you have enchanted your items, your almost close to having maxed stats. (That also raises the question of why bother even paying for power user.) Cain armor has extremely high stat but it is level 90. But it is level 90?…
10) Leveling is VERY SLOW after level 10. Your wasting your life past level 10 if your playing the game. Someone said it took them a year to get to level 50 (And they were cash/pu/exp raise/event/etc and played alot.) Now consider those factors into a new player that does not pay. Why even bother…
11) The cells can one hit kill you sometimes. The necroman horse has too high damage for its Area of Attack. It’s Area of attack is twice, if not, four times as big as a blacksmiths Special attack AoE. This was a huge indicator saying (Cells will kill more, not the player).
12) Some cells are too fast for a normal mouse to catch up with, same with classes. I notice if you avoid most of the attacks, you survive more than if you block at high level play, same with low level at times or alot.
13) Most people at higher levels are considered skilled but they really arn’t. It’s mostly their stats. There is little skill involved in this game. If you want to see skill, go to a 1-99 basic mode game with no cells and no potions. This prevents black, normal, and white nak cells from being summoned and every other cell. This also prevents people from spamming potion heals.
14) Juggling is a huge problem only when someone taunts after doing it. No skill. Just wait a second or 2 then swing/slash/stab/slice once and let the other player do it, then repeat.
15) Stages are rediculous after the first 2 stages. The stages lean more towards power user/cash user after or during stage 3.
16) Solo and team battle, there is always someone backstabbing you.
17) Takes a while to find a room, because of the latency restrictions. (CriticD)
18) Bad graphics. You will see blocks and sometimes be able to see that you have no brain or anything inside of your characters head (Literally)
19) Laggers dominate. If you lag, people will register hits on you but they won’t damage you sometimes. This also means that they see you not get stunned after getting hit. There is such thing as unplugging the modem to survive a hit or a juggle. No skill, as I said before. Most of the GOOD players are actually GOOD laggers or have BAD graphics cards.
20) You disconnect alot from the game. After 20 mins to an hour, be prepared to lose your Killer Player, Exellent Player, or Good Player bonus from golem games. Same for Solo. Be prepared to lose your round due to disconnecting.
21) People tend to kick and make up random excuses to kick. Most players are immature so this means that you will be kicked if you stalk or piss someone of, or are “More skilled” *cough* than someone else (Skill doesn’t exist in this game). (And stalking is part of the game.)
22) Noob is so overused in this game that they need to come up with a new term for new players and other things.
23) Many bugs and gliches. One bad glich/bug/lag is infinite arrow shooting from thin air. Archer shoots once, arrows pop from the spot the arrows shot from forever. Cell HP glich/bug as well. Looks like huge long lazers for a hp bar. Knives, axes, OH and don’t forget the 2-3 Meteor in 1-2 seconds or INFINITE Bombs from mages or the INFINITE secondary or primary range attack from ninja. Also Infinite choas arrows (Which can’t be blocked) is extremely bad, same for ninja with choas stars.
24) I’m confident there is much more i missed.Debatable only for 0-4 rating.

Comment: I don’t see how this game has a high rating.1) Stages are horribly hard. You can’t even form parties
2) PVP is lame. Mages just spam, Blacksmiths kill you in a few hits. When you fight someone in team battle, your attacks always get interrupted.
3) Takes a while to find a room, because of the latency restrictions.
4) Attacks cannot be chained into combos. Best you can do is less than 10 hits.

Comment: Wow, one of my first real MMORPG. Awe-some game. FPS-style walk-around killing game. They are jobs you can start with like Archer, Warrior, etc.If you know the game Splashfighters, it’s like a dog fight everyround. You can get exp and level up.

The graphis are pretty good. Not bad, not super duper. A must-try game.

Comment: Rakion is an amazing game with a very strong PvP system that requires a lot of skill.This game is a great game with great graphics to back it up as well. The graphics aren”t bad but sometimes when lagging can cause players faults and glitches which seems to happen a fair bit when lagging. A lot of the times it usually isn”t laggy depending on your connection speed and the others in the game.

PVP in this game is probably what gives this game a name. PVP is the only thing that keeps players coming back and keep them playing. The PvP system is great with lots of awesome features. One of my favorites is the fact that any player can be good as long as they have skill. Another one is that level doesn”t really matter, the only thing that it comes handy is your stat levels which will help you to grip and attack other players faster or stronger. There are also some great things about PVP like having the ability to boot laggers. This keeps the game fun. You can also do a lot of other things. Players may also summon creatures like pets which help you fight in matches. You can also collect batteries which recover your health but these aren�t easy to collect and don”t restore much to balance it out.

The game has no PvE besides the stages. Stages are like matches where player�s team up to finish certain objectives. The objectives are usually to kill a various number of creatures. Players also have ally creatures which help you fight. Sometimes players must solo very difficult stages. This is where skill is required and is different from other games where PvE is easy. So, yes, there is PvE in this game but no role-playing PvE.

The community in Rakion isn”t bad but usually when it comes to players who think they�re the best which there are a fair bit in Rakion can be a bit annoying and act like pretty big show-offs. Usually the high level players who just like to PVP and have fun are really nice and like to joke which is what makes the community good.

Yes there are hacks in his game which some are prevented by GameGuard. Most of the hacks that work either allow you to summon creatures you don�t have or let you level quicker. But this is ok since anybody who really hacks is usually kicked out of the match and once so they are never allowed to re-enter that match. Now you might be thinking what if there the host of the match then they cant be kicked. Well if they are the host of the match no one ever joins so the hacker will usually give up and disband the match. But now a lot of the hackers have left the game leaving only a few which never get into games so the hacking part of the game is really no problem that will not affect your gameplay nor make the game less enjoyable.

Yes they game can be a bit overpowered by cash user and unbalanced. But once you get into the higher levels which can be achieved easily by stages usually cash items won�t really matter. And also a lot of the time there might be cash players on the opposing team but so will there be on your team which again balances it out more.

Customer service is ok since they will give quick replies no longer then a day or two. They are also helpful but usually won�t help you if you say get your account hacked and you want all your items back. But if your account does get hacked its always can be recovered unless they have the password to your email and hack that to.

The game will eventually become better but the only problem is they keep building more and more cash items which are really unbalanced. All in the game is great especially if you willing to pay for cash items. I recommend it especially for PVP fans. I don”t recommend it though for people who are looking for good role playing games but if you�re looking for a game like this but with still a little PVE then this is definitely the game for you.

So all of this leads me to rate this game an approximate 8.5/10.

Comment: This game is amazing. For those of you who say leveling is not fast, that’s because you’re only playing in the games besides golem and quests-those two give the most exp-and can’t get money or exp to afford/be able to buy new stuff.Now, the reason I gave it a 7 is because after playing about one year of FPS, it becomes extremely easy (except for hackers and no lives… I hate all level rooms) because your reaction time has to be faster for FPS than this game. So it gets boring if you can’t play it or if you can play it really well.

Comment: ehh…well at first it was kinda fun but the game seems very linear and it has VERY little PVE. There isn”t much u can do cept kill each other in PVP and buy stuff. At first its fun and all and lots of computers can run it but u know, its free…and free games usually are bad. Now im also wondering why this is in the MMO section if it isnt even an mmo. U have to join games and stuff so its more like..i guess maybe Counter-Strike except with less maps and less variety of junk. And its not an Fps.

Comment: Overview: In this game, you kill people. Over and over. There are four classes, mage, warrior, blacksmith, and ninja. They are all actually pretty well balanced, except for mage, which has a huge disadvantage in 1v1. Things are WAY too expensive, especially armor. They also have huge level restrictions. You won’y play that long, anyway. Anyway, there are quests you can do, but once you do them, they get really boring again. This is the kind of game you play maniacally for a while, and then you decide you hate it. Then, in a while you play it again. At least with me, haha.Graphics: 8/10 Actually, they are quite good. For a free game they are killer.

Gameplay: 4/10 The game fails here. You will die of boredom.

Community: 1/10 This community is HORRIBLE. No one ever talks, helps out, or even communicates.

End: It can be really addicting, but after a few hours tops, you will HATE this game. It could use a lot of work.

Comment: the true facts are…
graphic: 8/10 you can see blood and armor flying off and arenas look cool.
community :5/10 some people take it to the head and start arguing.people dont reply to you fast usually like in 1min or so they do.
gameplay: probably the worst way to fight…you can swing your sword/hammer and they block 1 hit and you just got gripped….kind of iritating.
not alot of attacks in your disposale.only have 3 types, basic/special/grip.
well over all i give a 3 cuz people waste money on this pathetic game,combat is bad.community is ok.(i have an acc 17nin and 73bs so i know what im talking about here)PS:this is the best game to waste your time and great game if you bored.>.

Comment: Let me tell you facts about this game.#1 you get to interact with people by killing and destroying them.

#2 you can do quests with other people.

#3 in every battle, when you get enough kills, you can go to chaos mode where you become this invincible …thing that seriously pwn.

#4 you will soon die of boredom.

End! i give it a 5 because it has pretty good graphics and it was fun…for a while

Comment: Awesome graphics, and highly action-packed gameplay, but there are no moves, so the fighting is always the same (three different attacks). It is fun at first, and looks beautiful, but a few days later you get sick of the same old attack moves and just download a different game to play. If you’re bored and want some great fun for three days or so, it’s worth the download. But after a few days, I quit playing because of the lack of special attack moves.

Comment: This game is actually really good, I was a bit disappointed that it was in a format where you join or host game matches, but the combat system makes up for it. Most MMORPGs have that terribly dissappointing system where you click an enemy and then it does all the fighting for you. In Rakion, you press a button, and your sword swings, you switch weapons, you take aim, or whatever. I would give this game a 10 because of the great graphics and combat system, but the game room system bogs down the fun, so I’ll have to stay with an 8.

Comment: Guys I would have to rate this 10. most people rate it low because they have bad computers and cant get in to rooms but if u have a comp that can handle this game it will be worth ur while.Every class has their own advantages/disadvantages which makes them all equally skilled.

Also in this game u rarly see a hacker.

Dont listen to all the low raters that say u cant get into rooms cuz they just have bad comps

Comment: This is pretty cool, I like the idea of PVP and PVE deathmatches and this game is all about death matches! – It’s not really a “MMORPG” as we’re used to them. It is just deathmatch after deathmatch but its really well done.If you want a game to take out your aggression on for a few hours per day – this is it.

Comment: I got addicted to it, very unique class and balance system. Al classes are actually fairly well balanced, considering how easy it is to accidently break a class in a game like this. It is a very small download with decent graphics. Beware though, if you have intel video cards, this game is only semi-compatible with those. You will often see patchy black spots and makes some rooms impossible to even play. Overall, worth the download (but maybe not the cash)

Comment: My Computer might not be the best, but it’s not really bad either and I also have a fiber optic broadband connection.that being said this game refuses to let me connect to ANY multiplayer room “AT ALL”. I even went so far as to dissable all my firewalls and net security(making my computer very vulnerable i might add) but to no avail. it still spat in my face and laughed: “haha you cant play me in multiplayer!. Hope you like playing alone cause thats all you’ll be doing bwaaahahaha”

i gave it 2 instead of 0 because of the really nice graphics. go ahead and add 7 or 8 points to this score if you can get the multiplayer to work.

Comment: Ehh its alright, kind of like a different version of gunbound, gunz, and stuff like that. The kids in the community are bad, bad… it brings the game down a lot, I get a kill so the same person kills me later when I have low health “NOOB lol think your good noob? lol noob.”But still game isnt bad, not really amazing but not bad. Cool idea I”m sure people like it a lot, just not for me… graphics, gameplay good=7, community = -1

this spellcheck thing is wacky, it understands

3.Golem stages are places where blacksmiths take too much advantage and this in unequal….
4.you also need to pay if you need good equipment

Comment: This is a great game for everyone to try! More like a Third-person fighter, you control your character with the W, A, S, D keys and attack with your mouse. A game that everyone should try. Though I’m not giving it a 10 is because of the frequent unavailability to get into rooms. And to MMORPGFanatic, it’s not really a MMORPG. Cause you don’t click on places and your character goes there. And it’s worth it. Patches aren’t very big as they usually patch off the hacking systems.

Comment: hi! i like this game.. so cool.. there are different gamez for specific purposes.. like golem wars if you wanna lvl up fast.. team deathmatch if you wanna get lotsa gold/cash.. its got missions/ quests too if you like adventure.. as for characterz, mages are cute and powerful, but have small hp [they can heal themselves anyway].. blacksmiths are huge, slow, but very strong. one hit takes a hell out of ur hp.. warriors are slow too, but they also give lot of damage and a good cleaving [hits give splash damage @_@].. archers are cool too, they can kill with one hit [their turning-upside-down skill] and their arrows are annoyingly accurate.. but i like ninjas best bcoz theyre so agile and flexible, but have little damage and hp. wait till i unleash my charge move/ backgrip, so painful ^o^.. anywayz, one must master the moves first and get good timing [use ur brains leh!] to win.. i hate the hackerz and laggerz tho.. gurlz rule!!

Comment: In addition to what already people said.. It is not so difficult to level up, you can get to level 4 in one night easily if you are good. The higher the level, the more difficult it is to get to next level. When you level you get 3 points that you can put in any of the different stats:
– basic attack
– range attack
– special attack
– grip attack
– cell points
– Attack speed
– move speed
– energy
– armor
– creature destructive power.Depending on the character you use it is better to raise one or another.

Also the “pets” (creatures or cells) are very useful to help you kill in-game creatures or another players. They are kngihts, archers, golems, dragons, taurus, cannon men and naks. They can level to and get more stronger.

A thing I don´t like is that to be a real good player you need to spend REAL cash to buy the best items and the best “pets”. But if you dont spend cash you can enjoy it too.

Comment: This is one of the better pvp games, thought there is stage maches(a game where you go through a stage and fight diff monsters)but ull find your self doin the same one over and over again. and there are boos battle and golem war wich are really fun and probly the quickest ways to get money and xp. hackers are a problem, and i guess its easy to get hacks, alot of people have them, if you see one just report him.

Comment: Hmm graphics are good and sounds is good. But this is not a RPG game perse. It is a Fisrt person shooter Fantasy style. It is just rooms that you join and kill each other. Not very fun to me. I am not that into PVP and first person shooter. I like the more PVE stuff. So good game if your into straight pvp only.

Comment: yeah, rakion is pretty fun and all, but can definately get boring.
BUT!
its extremely awesome when ur in a LAN party or something. i have a level 6 swordsman named Luk_Shad so if you plan to play then definately add me. you can do stages, but only a certain amount of them until you lv up some. if you’re having trouble connecting to a server, then create your own and let ppl join yours. its kinda hard to buy stuff cause of the prices, but if you do some golem levels then its add up kinda fast. im waiting until im level 25 so i can make my own clan. sounds cool… 8 )so yep- i recommend playing this one.

Comment: i dont know how you can be a noob in this game.
for me its a very beginner friendly game. most of the servers are from level 1-10. with swordmaster and blacksmith you can have sucess with just left clicking trough a crowd. the first time i played it was very addictive to me and it was fun to grab other people. but then it lags to much and thats the problem. its working over peer to peer and sometimes i cant damage people even if i hit them. thats why i dont give 10 points. its frustrating when on your display you were close to the enemy but instead of a grab you are hitting with that high delay attack so the enemy grabs you instead. in other games for example first person shooters i got a good ping.

Comment: pretty good game. You need to be REALLY fast though and the ninjas grab u and stuff. Its mostly pvp so if u dont like just fighting other players dont play this game. i still cant kill a person easily. And even lvl 1s or 3s can beat you if u if u are not good. And its really hard to connect to a server. you dont see much high lvls tho. and lvling is super hard and also getting money. And its really repetetive. Sometimes tho high lvls(usually lvl 10 or sumthin) comes and calls u newb and stuff. They start killing you and then u cant lvl.

Comment: I liked this game alot, the problems I had are, I can’t connect very well, and high lvls are always taking it out on noobs. I suggest when playing this game that you go in a room with low ping and low lvls.

Comment: I played this game and it is seriuosly good,for a free one, ofcourse. I will show you how its rated professionaly.
Graphics – 8/10….Very well graphics.
Sound – 8/10…….Yes, very nice sound too.
Gameplay – 10/10….Like a first person shooter game except mmorgp, which is nice cause its also depending upon your skills and there is different attacks and combos! Cooool eh?
Story – 0/10…….I hate to say this buy (sigh) story.
Replayability – /10…MMORPG,your ratings.
Okay now for the game details.
5 classes – Warrior,BlackSmith,Archer,Mage,Ninja
Items – Many items in this game but problem is more than 40% are cash items.
Pets – Yeah thats right you can get your own pets for attacking enemies but not really useful.
Skills – No skills sorry.
Combos – Each class have different combos like lft mouse button+right mouse button and so on. You will know.
Around 15 battle maps and 20 stage maps.
Oh yeah… to start playing in a fight is like gunbound. Join a room or create one.

Comment: Totally PVP. The first time i played and i get easily killed by other players. I really have no idea how im going to level up. And it s true that leveling can takes forever. It s really damn slow to level up. However, great graphics, i like the bgm. I think it would be much fun if it s adventure-based and not fully pvp.

  1. Rakion was old game back in 2005, even tho graphics are outdated it was still fun and interesting game to play
    It is arena type of mmo and its focused so much on pvp,2 bad this game was destroyed by pay 2 play 🙁
    Combos and type of gameplay depends on what class you choose to play.

    Septera did not rate this post.
  2. The game really depends on PVP,and you have to be good in those PVP if you want to play game without agony.
    Graphic is pretty cool.I was enjoying by playing it.
    My suggestions

  3. Rakion Chaos Force is a pretty good ARPG. Not a huge fan of the old graphics, but this game did come out in 2005. Would’ve been better if they revamped the graphics for the 2020 Steam release of this game, but it’s not a big deal since the game is free to play anyway. Gameplay is nice though; you have various game modes like Stage Mode, Battle Mode, Clan War, and Ladder with various maps. PvP in this game can definitely be fun, especially with the action combat, but I feel like Neosonyx’s “pay2win” model for this game has certainly diluted most of the fun gameplay. Overall, I’d rate this game a 3.85/5.
