Join other heroes to fight against dragons and goblins in Dragon Nest! This upcoming multi-player online game is being developed by Eyedentity and Nexon. The game takes a unique approach to the online gaming scene, with a focus on action and real-time combat.

It’s set to be a great introductory game to online gaming newcomers AND an unconventional game to experienced players. Whether you’re new to the world of online gaming or consider yourself to be an experienced player, you will find Dragon Nest to be enjoyable. It’s simple enough in that it doesn’t require you to remember an encyclopedia of stats, buffs, bonuses, builds, etc.

The game CAN be a bit of a challenge at times. Instead of the monotonous spamming of the same spells and attacks over and over again, it forces the player to manually target enemies and attack them in real-time. Although challenging, the setup isn’t too difficult for beginners. Dragon Nest offers a good mix of simplicity and challenge.

One thing’s for certain: it demands your attention. You won’t get bored easily with this game. The graphics are visually astounding. Sure, the cutesy characters might be off-putting for some, but the 3D graphics are overall nice to look at.

During combat, you will have to give the game your attention in order to chain together combo attacks. You’ll also have to watch out for danger, since mobs can attack you from all directions.

You will of course be able to choose from four classes: melee (Warrior), magic user (Sorceress), healer (Cleric), and range (Archer). With a team of all four, dungeons are a fun affair. Although it’s still in the Beta stages, the social aspects of the game still look promising. If you prefer playing solo, you can find plenty to do all on your own. Unlike some games, Dragon Nest doesn’t force the player to team with others.

The towns have NPCs from whom you can purchase items for crafting. You can create your own weapons, armor, shields, crests, etc. For instance, you can craft an enhancement for Wisdom, Health, Wind, and Bear. The enhancement(s) you choose depends on your class.

Dragon Nest is a highly anticipated game, and has been for quite some time. Hopefully it’ll stand up to its hype when it’s released in North America. The graphics and gameplay DO look awesome!
