Comment: Twelve Sky is a martial arts based MMO based on an oriental fantasy theme of middle-age China. It a unique concept considering how little martial arts MMO there are. It was dubbed a fast paced game that's friendly to veterans and new players alike.
Well that said I found some of the clams above false. A fast paced game 12sky is not, I found the game grind heavy and repetitive. I found leveling slow and boring at higher levels. Does that sound like a fast paced game?
"Friendly to veterans and new players alike." Um... no direction and endless amount of bots spamming the chats is friendly? From the second I logged in the chat was flooded with spamming bots. There was no icon/arrow/pop up pointing to where you should start. There is one NPC by where you start and it doesn't tell you anything *sigh* so your stuck trying to figure out the game on your own.
Once you find an NPC in the open cities, too open in my opinion, the real fun begins. Repetitive quest and lots of grind! Honestly the grind isn't to bad in the beginning but like every game gets worst.
Now lets go back to them bots in the chat... yup still spamming *sigh* is it really that hard to ban these guys? It basically kills the community, you can't say anything because it's off the chat within 3 seconds making it almost impossible to communicate.
So no community, repetitive quest, no direction, and heavy grind. It sounds amazing! Oh by the way no WASD movement either, it's all point and click! I love this game!
Ok onto the good stuff. The sound! The sounds in this game is good not great and is about the best thing in the game. The world is big which is a plus but it's a little to open which makes it look like a landscape with trees dropped on it instead of a "real world". The animations in this game are well done but I think the lack of graphics ruins the flow of them and makes them look worst than they actually are.
Overall Aeria Games needs to wake up. They could make this game a lot more enjoyable by just making a commitment to keep bots to a minimum and adding WASD movement but don't get me wrong it needs a lot more than that and until they start to show some progress I can't give this game anymore than a 5.
