Game Review: Mabinogi


Mabinogi is a Fantasy MMORPG which allows you to do pretty much anything you feel like.

Gameplay 7/10

The game has a point and click style play that lets you live an alternative life in a fantasy world. It has an aging system where your character gains 1yr of age every week along with the regular leveling system. This game is very confusing at first as it leaves you to fend for yourself when you start off. The combat system is very unique compared to most games. You click on an enemy to attack once and after that theres alot of confusing jumbo to explain and i still don't understand most of it myself. The game also allows alot of other content like fishing, farming, and even being able to own your own home. The game is very immersing but its VERY hard to get into. If theres one thing id like to fix about this game is that id make it USER FRIENDLY. This game has so much content and theres no way to figure out how to do everything without looking online for every little thing. Luckily i had a friend to show me the ropes so i didn't have as much trouble as the average newbie. But once you know how to do things the fun turns up. You start talking to people, going dungeon crawling, and overall just having fun.

Graphics 7/10

The game is kind of old so the graphics are somewhat outdated so you may find some shitty looking enemies. other than that The environments are well made and the game has good textures so you can enjoy the scenery.

Replay 8/10

This game is all about replay. This isn't a game you can just dip your toes into. If you want to play this game expect to put in some time and effort in order to actually be able to enjoy the game fully. The game also has a rebirth system where once you character has reached a certain age you can choose to remove you character and make a new character with same same stats, gear and money.

Story 9/10

This story is really confusing. something about Fomors (enemy creatures), a goddess and paradise. I gave it a high rating because it seems like the creators worked hard on this story because i cant understand it.

Innovation 10/10

This game is unique. A fantasy life simulator with combat. Wether you like music, battling, or casual play. You can probably find something you'll enjoy in this game.

Overall 8/10

This game is extremely fun when you have others playing with you doing whatever you like doing. If you have the patience and time to figure out how the heck you do anything in this game, it is definitely worth playing.

Experience: I spent several hours leaving my character on auto fish. I have caught more random items and equipment than i have fish. Now thats awsome.

Pokemon: So I herd you liek mudkips.
