imageA Fun Romp Through a Lively World - Twin Saga Review

When I first started playing Twin Saga I didn't really know what expect because it isn't a game I had been actively following. As an Anime MMORPG it holds onto a fairly niche market in the MMO world and I hadn’t played any of the previous Anime inspired MMOs. What I found was an interesting game with easy to learn systems, beautiful artistry, and a ton of content to dive into.

    It's not special text for female characters. So while it's weird it's not that exactly. It's also not something which comes up regularly. *edit - I meant to grab the comment about tentacles, which is what I meant by "that" ><

    There's a whole lot of innuendo and weird humor in Twin Saga, and it's all really well written. It's odd? Sure. But it's also funny. I think people worry about the "teen" look of the female main characters, but it's not gender specific.

    Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

    I wasn't really following this either, but I love anime, and after looking at teh article and this thread, I'll run this for a couple of hours this weekend to check it out.  If I love it or hate it, I'll do a mini two-hour-in review.  If I am meh, won't be anything but a comment in this thread...


    The world is going to the dogs, which is just how I planned it!

    Only tried for a couple of hours. Not my type of game but it seems people are enjoying it.  ;)

    It has something where you can click the quest objective, or a spot on the map and it'll run you there but that's all. The game won't auto fight or go through the convos for you. I mean I suppose once you get Senshi you could let them kill things for you but that'd be slower and pretty boring ><

    I was excited to be beta testing a new game again, but I only played it once and lost interest. Just the same old/same old once you get past the shiny new look and the odd language. They seem to be trying to add a subtle flirting that's supposed to work with any given gender combination. And the word choices just seem anachronous and misplaced to me, the work of someone who doesn't really know English well. But what do you do? Go through a pre-set set of "quests" that consist of going someplace and killing the animals/monsters/bad guys you run into. It is all canned, predictable, lacking in challenge or variety or freedom. I suppose if you think of it as working your way through an animated story (and I've seen "you decide" books that had more meaningful involvement/options) rather than playing a game, it might be interesting enough for awhile, but it's not the experience I'm looking for in a MMORPG.

    It's fun for what it is, but I found getting a group for a dungeon difficult at around lvl 25 and just stopped playing because I got legion after scoring a job.
    Now Playing: Bless / Summoners War
    Looking forward to: Crowfall / Lost Ark / Black Desert Mobile

    Ya you totally justified that away.

    The problem with evaluating an item mall in beta is that they can and likely will add more stuff once the game launches. If the monetization still looks good six months or a year after launch, that's a lot more meaningful.

    Game has not loaded properly the entire day.

    Seems NA/USA east coast people MANY OF THEM,who knows maybe all of them,have not been able to play.Most are getting some sort of server kick but for me,it simply loads and empty game.
    Yep sure seems ready to not have anymore wipes to me..../not.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    I could not agree less! This game is massively pay to win. Sure the first 40 levels do pass in a breeze while you just click your auto path button and button mash your attacks. But if you want to upgrade your gear or senshi to compete with other players then there is no way except through the item mall.

    Bah I hate this system where they use the cash shop for item upgrades.... no thank you.

    Well can't comment properly until i actually play the game....ummmm sigh.
    Well after about the 15th try the screen finally loaded something i could see>>>>create,so i did.

    1 model,both sex are the exact same VERY cheap model.I know i hear nonsense all the time about "ANIME" this is CHEAP graphics,CHEAP models,this is entry level game design NOT professional.Anime has nothing to do with how bad the graphics are.

    Game design/play :The screen is full of clutter,often if you wish to click to the left to move the two giant chat windows are in the way so you click them by accident.Yes you can alt-h but imo they could have made a better design as i played FFXi where the screen is near empty with simple clicks to open up menus.

    Combat is about as weak as you can get....SPAM SPAM,p[ress buttons as fast as cooldown will let you and that is pretty fast.

    Oh yes VERy typical of all f2p games over there you get some calender to show your daily rewards,it is like everyone copies the exact same design ,almost like every game is made by the same people.

    Quest dialogue always pops up some giant screen to clutter your entire screen,my eyes are not great but they definitely designed this for near blind people to make sure they can see the BIG WORDS ON SCREEN,like my BIG BOOK of words.

    This game really is bad,doesn't need anymore review but to end i will say that ALL of the customization options are real bad,seemingly the exact same 2 people doing all the choice voices,grunts whatever.

    This is an entry level game design,you would never charge any money for something like this,would be more to try and convince someone to hire you but not to actually release as a quality game.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    The quest dialog in this game is really well written and funny at times, you will encounter many different stories, some are serious, others are funny and some are ridicilous in a good way.

    You can tell they had fun writing them and you can say a lot about aeriagames but the translation of this game is very well done. To me it is just refreshing from the usuall dull dialog.

    The game is fun except for the Botty, McBot McBot issue, with no way in game to report them.
    Very Gold Farmey..... Gonna step away for a bit and see if the issue changes.

    I like the game alot too. The class switching is something i wish more mmo's did. I really like all the range classes in the game and can't decide which i want to main. Very fun stuff in this game and i love the mobile Terracottage idea.
