Skyforge - a fairly well-known domestic MMORPG, released three years ago. It would seem that there is something to review here in 2018, but there is something. After all, only now the game got to PS4, where it in my opinion blended very even harmoniously. Why is that? Let's figure it out.
Before us, the planet Elyon, inhabited by gods, ordinary people and kemi-something middle-nicknamed immortal, who seem to be like no gods yet, but also noticeably steeper people. As you might have guessed, it is the immortal that we have to play. The abruptness of this planet lies in the fact that here in some crazy cocktail magic, futuristic technologies, mythical deities and so on are allotted. There is an impression that the creators, in pursuit of the dissimilarity of their competitors, were purposefully inspired by so many different projects that they had nothing to complain about directly. Did it make the game insanely deep, interesting and memorable? Alas, but no. Fortunately a sense of secondary does not arise, especially since the world has still worked, and there are a lot of dialogues.
It's clear that without global problems on this wonderful planet and for its inhabitants, of course, there is nothing to do an MMO, so there are enough worries. For example, endless attacks of all kinds of alien invaders. And these invaders, apparently, are stamped on some giant intergalactic conveyor. Because their endless hordes can not stop neither people, nor immortals, nor gods, nor even their united army. But we have an expanse for grinder above the roof, and it's quite pleasant to be engaged in a meat grinder. Non-target-boevka, of course, adds dynamics to what is happening. Skills combine in spectacular combos, and different classes differ in the manner of combat cardinally.
Speaking of classes. There are 14 of them, most of which are available from the very beginning. The rest are unlocked as the story progresses. And here it is, the first shocking fact - you do not need to create yourself several characters! You can play one, and classes can be changed right between fights with opponents unlimited number of times. Even shmot do not need to change clothes. Here you lupish enemies with icicles from the hands turning into ice, and a second later you already shred them with a chain sword, but after a few seconds you'll be sifting out of the minigun. An interesting idea, as for me, but to fully play by different classes, of course, will have to spend time on a certain amount of noble drocheva. But it's an MMO, it's behind him that's where they go.
By the way, atypical for the genre of differences, there is practically no gear here. At least, in comparison with the brethren. Judge for yourself: rings, necklaces and a pair of runes. No cloaks to you at plus 10 to agility, boots to plus 15 to speed and helmets to plus 10 to brutality. All your clothes perform an exclusively decorative role and consists of, directly, the costume and headgear, not counting all kinds of accessories. On the one hand, it well relieves us of a huge amount of unnecessary fuss and zadrotstva, on the other hand, the motivation somehow quickly disappears, because it is in the fuss and zadrotstve many find themselves when they play in the MMO. On the other hand, the version for PS4 is considered, but on this platform the rules do not work as they do on the PC. Therefore, the absence of hassle in the style of multi-day attempts to sharpen another armor at plus 10, when this armor breaks, then go and knock out resources on it from dozens of mobs ... In general, it is difficult to imagine that it was interesting to deal with on the console.
Pumped the character pretty quickly, the gear as such there is not and what to do? Do not play for the sake of the plot! You can play for the sake of PVP and PVE-events, which here too is enough. However, a very complex team search for a raid can take tens of minutes. I think with time the situation will improve, because thanks to the free-to-play models of distribution and lack of the need for PS Plus subscription, as well as the vanishingly small amount of competition - a good online here will be provided.
Thank you for attention!
