Dragon Nest 07/07/2020

The formula for MMORPGs that World of Warcraft has established has permeated the scene, to the point where it's overflowing and relatively stagnant. Very few MMORPGs have tried to mix it up, with many sharing a very similar combat system and gameplay loop as WoW. However, there are a few MMOs out there that try to mix up some part of it. Dragon Nest decided to have action based combat with a strong emphasis on teamwork

To install Dragon Nest, make sure you have Steam installed. Once that's done, go to this link to install it.

This game has a very simple visual style, but you'll quickly find that simplicity does not mean bad. In many cases, simplicity simply leads to more stylish movement that enhances the visuals more than anything, and this game thrives in that. The smooth combat animations make the combat a lot more fun to watch as well as being a lot more accessible to a wider audience.

The combat system is the other bright point. You have the typically left click to light combo and right click to heavy attack, as well as dodge rolls. You also have skills that are mapped to 1-9. However, this isn't a button masher. Each skill needs to be used strategically maximize their effects. Later on, combat is more about knowing when to use skills rather than just using them.

Overall, Dragon Nest is a very accessible MMORPG that rewards casuals and hardcore players alike and its visual style makes it incredibly accessible.
