While some classes may be a bit OP, the others are still fun to explore. On top of the extensive character creation which is pretty close to Dragon Age or Skyrim level, the class systems are all a blast to play with. One thing I will say about the Skyforge, the classes are all very different and unique. Half of all the gameplay is that annoying machine yelling in my ear or a whisper of a voice from NPC that could be telling me a great recipe for Fettuccini Alfredo, I mean, he could be for all I know. It would be much easier to understand what they are trying to tell me about the enemy I face. I would have rather the voice of the machine companion (that sounds like Microsoft Sam had been smoking for last 20 years) or the soft-voiced characters of the game to chat me up before my battles begin. Many video games have this voice but they usually talk to you before gameplay gets intense, not during. The other thing that would take me out of gameplay, besides the talking heads I couldn’t follow, are the disembodied voices that try talking to me through the VERY LOUD FIGHTING ACTION ON SCREEN. I’m no longer listening I become so distracted I start to giggle like an idiot and then I have no idea what I was supposed to be doing even though this gorgeous, angelic figure in front of me just gave me a bucketload of exposition. You’ll be watching and the character will seem normal and use facial expressions and you can see the detailed work going into it, however, the moment the speech patterns don’t lock on everything they said goes right out the window. While this might be fine for international movies and anime, it is very distracting to players and extremely noticeable. There aren’t many but they stood out because the audio never quite matched up with the expressions and mouth movements of the characters. Look at Me when I’m Talking to You!Ī major issue I had with the game are the CGI talking and interaction bits. Skyforge also has Raids and PvE for fans of those type of MMO adventures. There are some pretty powerful baddies out there so don’t travel too far out of your league.
You’ll always find some sweet loot out there in the fields as well. They are part of side quests so they aren’t too import to get through but they are a great way to level up your characters. There are open areas for players to explore but they can sometimes be confusing if you aren’t paying attention. Getting your butt handed to you as a Lightbringer, alone, you’re a fool, change to Berserker and rip your enemies to shreds. Don’t feel like playing the Cryomancer, switch to the Paladin for a while. One of the cool things in-game is you can change your class at any point. You would also have to start to team up with people to get past other parts because doing it alone becomes very difficult and can wear the player down. Once you are dropped into the world the stages are pretty linear. With a whole bunch of modes, Skyforge will never lack gameplay wise. Mixed into this fantasy/sci-fi world are legends and myths that keep you driving forward. On the surface that is the story – go out, fight, become stronger, and become a god. Working hard enough they can eventually ascend to become a god. Players start by finding out that they are a very rare breed of Aelions (that made me laugh harder than it should), known as the powerful Immortals.
However, Skyforge does put a lot of thought and history behind its main story. The game is set on a planet called Aelion that features both persistent and instanced zones.
Having an overall encompassing story to send the player out on countless tasks is just fine. MMOs have the pleasure that most of the gaming world doesn’t have, they don’t have to fixate so much on story.
