    Oh this looks kind of interesting. It seems like it's another lobby based dungeon grinder like Vindctus or Continent of the Ninth. Steparu has a lot of videos and reviews for this and liked it. I'll definitely have to sign up and give this one a try. Edit: Apparently a lot of people have Youtube videos in English for this game.

    Strange. English patch? Time to figure it out. Kind of seems like a 3D dungeon fighter. This is probably why - http://ktk.playpark.com/sg/Index Not saying it can't be a fun game, but curious as to why En Masse is now publishing it? I know Bluehole is working on a new MMORPG, so this might be filler until then.

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

    I think the mobile version is regarded as one of the better Korean ARPGs on the platform. I don't really see this being a successful PC title though... maybe I'll be surprised.
    Now Playing: Bless / Summoners War
    Looking forward to: Crowfall / Lost Ark / Black Desert Mobile

    Let me guess:- limited ability bars, characters hopping around - rinsed and repeated for the next xxx levels.

    Enter questionable artistic choices,endless gear grinds,PvE straight from 2004,bunny ears and little girls with boobs and bunny ears,and some more gear grind.
    Hello Tera Kitty is apparently not enough.

    I disagree I think there's definitely a lot of people who like lobby based dungeon grinders. The only problem is a lot of those games are older so people are getting tired of them. If you frequent /r/MMORPG you see requests for stuff like this all the time. I think a newer choice that people haven't played a ton of already would be welcome. Right now all they really have is Vindictus, Dragon Nest, and C9, and some random lesser known titles.

    And beyond that there's plenty of regular MMORPG players would would love a good action combat game as a side PvE game. It's the flipside to the idea of having a PvP side game. You don't need to invest a ton of time in something like this which is the beauty of it. You can just hop in and grind whenever you feel like it with games like this.

    I've been waiting for this game to be localized for years, but i don't know how i feel about EnMasse managing it. All they do to Tera is add dungeons and occasionally a new class, with no real open world/story content expansions. I can already see Kritika going the same direction, grinding dungeons until your soul vanishes from your body. I hope i'm wrong.

    Watched two videos and just made me laugh.I wouldn't give this game a 2/10,lucky if it gets a 1/10.

    Typical Asian game designing female characters with huge boobs and clothes that do NOT fit the agenda.Typical spam combat killing several mobs in a couple seconds...seems realistic.../not.

    IDK what type of game it is trying to be but it looks like maybe some comic book series and they made a game of it.From what i saw it did nothing to get me to even want to d/l try it.

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

    Looks like the Korean and Chinese versions have a lot more classes than the SEA version. I hope we get those newer classes here. They look fun. :)

    Another game that will be forgotten within 6 months of release.

    Every time I see a game like this I remember DFO.  That's a great beat-em-up if you like those.

    Omg I just commented on that video. Combat looking good? Check. Cute Cat themed character class? Check. Hilarious meowing? Check. I'm sold. I'm more of a magic fan than a rogue fan though, so I'll probably try the Elemental Summoner class if it's in NA on release, or the Mage (wish it wasn't male), or the Scythe class looks fun.
  • GladDogGladDog Member RarePosts: 1,097
    OMG this looks hilarious!  Will it hold me for more than a month before the 'meowing' gets old?  Who knows... Heck, its F2P, I'll check it out.


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

    i played the KR version and is a "light" version of similar games (Dragon nest , C9 , Vindictus) the gameplay is cool , but once that fades off is just move forward and kill everything , bosses arent a challenge

    only leveled to 30ish tho , not enjoyable with that ping

    Looks fun and it's free... surprised by all the hate comments. I guess some people hate just cause it's the norm nowadays.

    This look more of a mobile game to me, but if people will play more power to them
  • JakkssJakkss Member UncommonPosts: 34
    As some people said before, it does feel like a mobile MMORPG. That being said, the character selection gives me a feeling similar to Elsword, Vindictus and Devillian while the general exploration and world aspects are instanced similar to Blade & Soul. I think it would have a player base close to the majority of Aeria Games players while having a small impact of a cash shop, similar to TERA Online. That's just my prediction on the future of this title in the care of Enmasse, as the developers of this MMO (allm) do not have much of a background history to know what they are like when it comes to expansions and updates.

    Obviously if you guys don't like anime art style this is not the game for you. That being said I have played the SEA version and it's actually quite fun. This is a CASUAL game and like many of you said, will feel like a mobile game. This game was originally first develeoped for the PC and got ported to mobile which had a lot more success.

    The whole point of the game is to grind and make your char OP while doing instanced dungeons. If I remember correctly I didn't have to grind the same dungeons that much but I didn't reach super late game. This is a niche that you either love or hate.

    There is obviously a market for this type of game. We see dragon nest lasting WAY too long considering how shit everything was and Elsword is still extremely popular. Maybe this will compete with those games.

    If En Masse can make Tera work then I think they can make this game work. That's all I have to say. At the end of the day it's a f2p and there hasn't been much lately so I'll take what I can get until real games come out.

    Kritika The White Knights is on Google Play, and it Violates "Google Play Developer Policy, installing 3rd party app "XING CODE 3" Without consent and installing it on your device, I already informed Google, and reported it, as well as contacted some Lawyers about the issue they finally told me they will inform customers properly and fix it within 3 months if they do not comply I will be seeing if I can find anyone who will make them legally inform consumers...

    I actually tried "Black Desert" with XingCode3, and it wasn't being malicious for a little while but then it started copying files to my C:\windows directory without me giving consent to use OS Directories, and its not transparent to people who install many online games.

    ** Truthfully I Hope ENmasse doesn't host another piece of crap game "Kritika" with XingCode or anything that violates privacy installed in it such companies should have to legally notify customers in the TOS / EULA before installing anything not made by the same developers as the game itself. For more information on the Google Developer policy you can look here. https://play.google.com/about/privacy-security/

    Plenty of people like that stuff. Just not for you which is ok. There are plenty of games for people like you anyway.
