Maple story is a strange game. Its o.k in its gameplay and interface but never really appealed to me. It's not hard to start off with, has a good tutorial island place but the whole game is 2D with a near 3D background which was strange.
Game play
The game play was alright and there's lots of variety in the items. The classes are unique with some i haven't seen on any other game before. Its an easy interface to master, but at the start is easy to miss some skills and items in the tutorial that cant be acquired later on that are vital to survival in some aspects, and the importance isn't stated by NPC's on the island.
It gets difficult to level up later on with some quests that are totally pointless. The game does offer totally ability to be unique with many different armors and clothes available. It is playable but it isn't quite my type of game.
Pro's
- It is totally free
- Great community
- Extensive selection of equipment
- Easy play and interface
- Fun to dress characters
- Only things that aren't necessary for gameplay are in the cash shop
Con's
- Lag's
- Bad Graphics
- Very boring at times
- All the characters are made to look happy and always smiling even the monsters while they are getting killed. This was in a way negative to me and made me depressed in a way.
- Quest can be a bit tedious and hard with a pointless outcome
- Hackers
- Some things are still written in Korean / Chinese ( ??? )
Overall i'd say this wasn't one of my best gaming experiences and i was disappointed of it very quick, if you enjoy playing it I think thats great and you should keep on it. But all in all I've played better.
