Lost Saga Review

I have to say that after spending a good 2-3 years of my life mingling in this community, this game really isn’t that bad. Lost Saga is a pretty unique game, with lots of options to make your fighting fresh. With the massive choice in characters that increase as you level up (which gives you good incentives) your gaming really doesn’t get boring all too fast. Stack that up with faction war battles done between guilds on two different teams and just normal battles with friends and you’ll end up pretty hooked.

The game already features more maps than a lot of other fighting games, and the unique battle style of the most common mode is a nice refresher too. In prisoner mode, instead of dying and re-spawning, you’re tied up after you’ve been stripped of your 4 main gears (and sources of skills.)

I love the controls for this game, a simple ‘A’ for jump, ‘S’ for guard, and ‘D’ for attack. The skills are based off of ‘AS’ ‘AD’ ‘ASD’ and ‘SD’. Arrow keys are the default movement controls for the game. Several players have been known to hook up controllers to play as well which can be seen as beneficial in combos and directional inputs.

Not only does Lost Saga feature characters like Robin Hood and Captain Hook from folk lore, but it’s also home to broader ideas like ‘mafia’ and ‘treasure hunter’, as well as premium characters (which are cash) like Sol Badguy from Guilty Gear, or Jin Kisaragi and Hazama from BlazBlue.

The only complaint I could possibly make about this game is its strange community; at least to me. It has its moments of immaturity and ridiculousness. But all in all if you just ignore it and move on (or if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em), then there’s really nothing left there to be said.

I hope you give Lost Saga a try and maybe you’ll like it too.

[General Game Info]

Publisher: WeMadeEntertainment USA (Starting the 25th of February, 2013)

Graphics: Medium Quality

Type of Game: MMO Fighter; multiple character choice while in battle. (Over 100 planned characters to be released.)

Grinder?: Not really, free exp items seem to be given out on frequent occasions, on top of extra exp days and quests.

PvP: Yes, though singe-player is available in 3 known modes.

Filesize: 370MB+

Pros: Several characters to choose from, with more releasing as time goes on, Good animations for skills, original game idea, fast-paced gaming without too much of a slowdown in your flow, Several game modes, a large choice of avatar variation and styles, custom skinning is an option for your gears (Helmet, trinket, armor, and weapon).

Cons: Somewhat similar to other fighting games, can get repetitive.

graphics: nice, bright cute.
It’s anime style, and the animation is really well done and amusing, especially with the expressions of the characters

customisation: You don’t customise an individual hero, but the huuuuuge array of heros that you can pick from more than makes up for this. You can purchase eyes and hair and gear later, but the really good ones can only be bought with real money D: it’s called astro and ingame mullah is called peso.
also, all heros, unless you use real money, are not permanent. You have a time limit, which I admit is a little irritating, so I advise that when you get free hero gift scrolls, use them to decide if the hero is decent. If they are, then use real money to permanently buy them (if you want) or use ingame money to buy more hours. Otherwise, scrap them XD that way you can spend more of the precious time on the heros you actually like.

setting and gameplay:
ok, so there is basically no storyline, just that, as usual, you awake in a foreign place. But hey, it’s a fighter game so no matter. There are many different arenas available to play in, and different settings, be it crusade, boss raid, team match or prisoner, and all are fun 🙂 I especially love team matches – they turn epic when you sometimes have 8 people on each team.
otherwise, just kick back your heels and be a spectator instead. You can watch in movie mode too, which is fun.

battle system:
funfunfun 😀
being a fighter game, you are required to have some skills with the keyboard, but it doesn’t take long to sort of get the hang of it. A for jump, S for defence, D for attack and arrows for movement. Then according to the hero, combos can result in different attacks etc. The diverse attacks amongst players makes combos very fun and furthermore you can swap between heros DURING the game, which I think is a unique feature and makes it much more interesting. That means you can mix combos yay lol.

community:
It’s pretty user friendly, they teach you pretty thoroughly what to do. The people are reasonably friendly, but don’t be surprised to come across swearing from some randoms or people calling you lagger and noob. Just ignore it and comfort yourself by thinking that they’re just some sad people with self-esteem issues who need to constantly assert their superiority LOL. And if they get too mean, it’s possible to kick them out, so that’s good haha >:D

anyways, overall, a game well worth looking into!
download doesn’t take that long and the game’s worth the wait!

It’s very exciting, fast, action-filled gameplay, with a mix in of strategy and reflexes. I would strongly recommend it to any avid MMO player.
