Game Story
The unexpected appearance of the Vortex, Pillar of Despair, unleashed dreadful creatures that brutally raided the world. Defenseless and vulnerable, mankind was soon on the verge of extinction.

When all hope was lost, a miracle happened and the creatures suddenly vanished. Desperate to prevent the next invasion, the survivors created a group called the 'Corps' that journeys into the Vortex from whence the creatures emerged. You will lead the Corps to reveal the secrets behind the incidents.

Will the human race succeed in changing the course of their destiny?

In the Mist of the Vortex, Pillar of Despair...

• You will be constantly dealing with internal conflicts between 'satisfaction' and 'greed'.
  
• Limited visibility will hinder your exploration.
  
• Utilize skills and create effective formations to achieve victory.

I almost posted this on the JRPG Forum, but eh, let's see. Yeah :shrug:

Personally, I'm more turned off by the in-your-face controller buttons all over the UI.
Quite telling, if you ask me.

You will be constantly dealing with internal conflicts between 'satisfaction' and 'greed'.

Such is the fate of a AAA / freemium game developer.

Looks awful

 

[Lord Romulus]

Dropped all interest when i read PUBG developer.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Pathetic.

 

[Alfgart]

Horrible art style

 

[Monkeyfinger]

At least half of the posters above me will day 1 purchase this game.

 

[Reinhardt]

I have no fucking idea what is happening on screens.

The art style just doesn't work me. I'm not an absolute visual whore, but the game would really have to make up for it in other ways. Maybe it will do better than Spike TV's take on The Mist, which popped in my mind as I was watching the game's teaser.

I watched a stream of this game today. In some ways the combat and exploration is an improvement over DD but after 3-4 hours the guy was still fighting the same zombies, maggots, mushrooms and crabs he was in the start and shitty combat encounter variety was one of the main reasons I couldn't bring myself to finish DD and it seems even lower here so doesn't seem like this is worth the money.

Anyone bite the bullet yet and see what the quality is? Mixed reviews but most of the negative ones aren’t in english.

yes

 

[Jinn]

yes

What do you think? Did the Koreans pull it off?

I didn't get past demo content yet so it's only 2 more classes for now.

Random really screwed me this time. Starting characters were really shitty. To learn new skills you need to wait for character of the same class with needed skill to appear for hire, pay for him and then sacrifice him+pay in gold again+spend skillpoint(you get one per level up)
So first two weeks i was forced to run from every enemy because random decided my starting masochistic nun don't need those pesky healing skills AND new sisters spawned with exactly same skills so i couldn't even hire replacement. Without heal i can't fight on hard - enemies hit for half of my lvl 1 characters hp and without fighting i can't level. And doomsday clock is ticking if you don't do missions perfectly, including killing all enemies. I'm sitting on 10 minutes to midnight now, but at least characters are almost level 3, i have healing and some equipment(yes, for first mission they send you to your death completely naked).

 

[Reinhardt]

I guess i'll start new run. My party is lvl 4 and i'm doing ok but i think i'm cursed. My paladin, who's supposed to be party tank, still naked. Literally zero items. And ronin, who i don't even use, have 5 or 6 pieces of magic equipment. Sister have weapon but no armor, witch have armor but no weapon and so on. Right now i'm carried by shadow+witch combo, but i don't think it will be enough for next dungeon.

If you could grade the mechanics on an A to shit scale, what would it be?

Also does this have a story? Im expecting something hyper korean.

Combat is decent. Better than Darkest Dungeon at least. Not that it's very high bar to clear. Can't say much more, because i'm still at the beginning of the game. Need to see any boss fights at least.
Town upgrades are simple - you bring resources, you get bonus. Skill upgrades are annoying like i said earlier. Equipment upgrades are usual mmo style - sacrifice same rarity item and get tiny bonus.

Also does this have a story? Im expecting something hyper korean.

It's jrpg. With quests like "kill 5 worms". But again - it's start of the game.
