#mmorpg #brokenranks #2022 - Hry
Funny thing is, I'm not much of a MMORPG player but this looks like a great single player game that I'd really enjoy. Decisions ...
Have you ever tried ESO? It is an mmorpg, but you play most of the stuff solo (if you want). The story quests are among the best out there in a game imho.
@@insmett1elf4 the quests were nice for 1 playthrough. But it's a very weird game.
It's not a great mmo at all and it's not the best single player experience. It's just not recommendable to be honest. Combat was very bland.
I never understood why u would play an mmo by yourself. It's the point of an mmo to interact with others, no?
@@insmett1elf4 I've never played but it's nice that it's a one time fee. Would you recommend just the base game or with all the expansions?
@@SimonRobeyns I had quite the opposite experience, I thought the combat was an accidental masterpiece. The developers are braindead and did not mean to make their combat good they meant it to be bland trash but currently in eso you can combo up to around 300 actions per minute (excluding movement presses) That means as an average player starting out you will probably average around 60 apm, which as you near max level and join a guild or watch some youtube videos on light attack weaving you might raise it to 120 apm, then you start getting into pvp and learn some more interesting and unique but far more difficult to learn/train combos and you can raise your apm to 180, with it topping out at in my opinion around 300 but that's completely unfeasible for a normal pvp junkie to ever reach, you'd need a whole lotta money and esports involved if you wanna attract Jaedong types and see those numbers get hit without macros.
The combat has the most skill expression and creative dynamism in how you can react and respond on a second by second basis to your environment, enemies and yourself via a fun and engaging combo system with a skill ceiling so high that if you truly put in enough effort then you can genuinely kill a whole guild by yourself (Given many failed attempts and almost perfect play by you with many mistakes on the zergs behalf) is in my opinion the best combat of any mmo ever, and I really hope to one day see a design and development team take inspiration from it and try make a combat system with this much depth on purpose not by accident and not spend the entire game history using every other mechanic and system in their game as a prop to dumb the game down to try lower the skill gap the masterstroke combat produced.
Would absolutely not recommend anyone play eso tho, Zenimax have no respect whatsoever for their customers. Just wanted to share an opposing perspective on the combat you might find interesting as not a lot of people ever thought about it past attack weaving and stopped at 120 apm. Also a lot of people are very Victorian in philosophy (Form over function) so purely see creativity or dynamism as a flashy graphical animation and not about the ability to carve their own expression in the way they interface with the medium (Which is not possible in a 1998, 1 GCD fits all combat system).
@@jacobbatchelor7877 Interesting take, but for me the animations and just the choppy elder scrolls kinda combat didn't work for me in the MMO format. I also really hated the world pvp in general. I couldn't stand the map. Maybe I just picked the wrong class but i tried the rogue first which felt horrible, like slashing at a sack of potatoes till the health bar is finally down and this paladin type with light-shit. Couldnt stand it :D glad you had fun with it.
Kira's one of the few...AND I MEAN FEW...CZcamsrs who I feel can be trusted to do an honest sponsored review.
I'll be checking this game out.
I totally agree. So many try to sound unbiased, yet spout BS. Kira really seems to tell it like it is. I will be checking this out.
I've had a lot more fun with this one than I expected to. The quests are really good and well written. The choices you make usually have a large impact on the story
Hmm you are selling me more and more on this game, I might give it a go!
This actually looks pretty cool. Keep up the great content man I always look forward to your videos!
I saw an article about this game and was on my list to try. Thanks for the review and the tip! Will definitely check it out now.
Super cool game - loved basically everything about it, until I played with a friend. Multiplayer is horrible at the moment, hopefully it will be better, but why they chose the solution with "pick up friend", no way to complete quests together and basically no quest sharing is a mystery. It's a great "single player mmo" - but as a group of friends, it has to do better. Hopefully things will change, cause this is a pretty solid game.
yeah game sounds amazing and i was about to gather up my friends for that. but the multiplayer is a dealbreaker. dont want to play this alone and as a group it doesnt make sense like this.
you are wrong here, if you take on job with a group then you can complete it together but you return the quest separately, but main story missions you cant really do together or you can but will have separate instances. but later you need friends to do bosses right ;)
@@MrCaturday friends are needed for bosses or farming mobs. not much for questing
great vid kira!
Ik it's f2p, but the full skin sets are 3500 platinum each, which is ~$91, which is actually insane, especially since several are the same thing, but recolored.
But yeah, the gameplay is good.
(edit: cost of skins)
I don't think I have seen one person using any of the skins so far. It looks like people are reserving that sorta thing until endgame. So far, the monetary aspect has been minimal; I played free for 4-5 days, and bought premium because the game was that good. Amazing quests, and surprisingly, combat is fun. I was waiting for Lost Ark to open up, but this game has got me hooked.
you can buy it in 2 weeks if u smart
every pink cost 1 Plat box u can get like 30 in one day if u lucky n have time to hunt all day
This game looks fantastic. I would've never known about it if it weren't for this video; I've never heard of it before but it RIGHT up my alley!
Thanks for the vid, and thanks to the devs who were brave enough to make a turn based MMO like this!
glad that i found your channel from the video Charlie did on Chronicles of Elyria. Keep up the good work my boy
Thanks dude
Honestly, i quite like the aesthetics. Thanks for the recommendation and a nice overview of a game, i'll check it out.
Really "Marmite" games. Love it. As a video (sponsored or not), coverage was balanced and insightful - thank you!
Big up yourself kira! loving your content at the moment
Been looking forward to this. Not main stream, but I looks interesting.
i played the beta and had a blast with it, i didn't even know it had fully released yet, will be downloading tomorrow!
I've been really enjoying it. The questing is a lot more interesting than I'm used to as a mmorpg player and even just seeing that there are other people around makes a big difference in how alive the world feels. The party system and the cash shop are not great and in my eyes the sole reason why they did not put the game on Steam yet.
Not a game I would be interested in, but a well-produced and thought-out review. Thanks!
If this game interests you in the slightest, I HIGHLY recommend you check it out. It has been a lot of fun and has felt like a mix of Dofus (if you have ever played it), & The Witcher world or theme
How do I play? Launcher always says game is not playable.
For a text based story im absolutely hooked on the dialog.
mate the sponsor coming from you if anything makes it more valid.. these graphics are phenomenal, hats off to whoever the hell made them
Man this gives me some early baldur's gate feels! Looks great
I played a couple hours after work. Very fun! Definitely will play more.
Hey, this looks like an alright RPG! Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Kira!
The way the combat works and the cash shop are probably going to break the deal for me, but I'll be giiving the game a try for sure! Who knows, maybe I'll end up having a blast 😊
I think I got into the beta for this game from your channel, I really like it other then the server problems at launch have had no problems with it . Found a fun game yesterday you might like or maybe have seen already Vampire Survivors it's $3 CAD on steam right now and I already have spent 16 hours playing it so well worth the money. take care and thnx for the content ;-)
The fact that quest progess is host-saved is a good thing. First off it allows you to replay them, secondly, you can avoid speedrunners ruining your lore reading attempts, and secondly, noone else do the choices for you. Having shared quest progress would just create chaos.
There are other games that support sharing quests without having those problems. Most of what you describe are issues with shared-world questing, not with shared-rewards *instanced* quests (because with those you can choose the people you go through them with, or do them solo if you want). That is actually, I believe, what he was disappointed at not having, and I would tend to agree it seems like a poor design choice, since the quests are already instanced anyway.
If I and a friend choose to both go through the same part of the same quest as a team, but she gets the quest rewards/progression and I don't, for doing the same work, that just seems kinda lame.. Hopefully they'll realize and fix that bit in the future.
Oh I'll def try this out
When I saw boss chopping your character in half I am all in lol
I will echo that this game has been a lot more fun than I was expecting. The art style and darker themed quest lines were the reason I gave it a try, but I think I will be playing this game for longer than I thought.
Watched your livestream on Twitch and wanted to thank you for bringing Kays cooking into my life 😂 Can't remember seeing a funnier livestream! Please do more 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it dude, I hope to stream more often :D
@@KiraTV1 Please do 🙂 Can't wait 👍
Just started playing it and I taught "eh this isn't for me but lets finish the tutorial at least". Then I played it 8 hour straight. I dont even like the combat system at all but the quests and progression somehow gives me that good vibes that classic wow gave me back in the days. Back when devs cared about writing a good story and progressing through the game wasnt a speedrun but an adventure.
I might actually try this out
Games been a lot of fun. Later game boss dungeon you actually detach from most groups and you all solo trash mobs to get to boss faster then regroup for boss fight. Team play has been a lot more interesting than I first thought.
true true ;)
I played the beta and loved it! I wish I had my laptop to play. Will definitely jump in sometime
Right on time, been curious about this one and I trust your feedback fully.
Really well done summary of the game!
I've only played a couple of hours, so far, but I've enjoyed it. I will say, don't be overwhelmed by the combat system. IMO, the tutorial doesn't explain it very well, but once it dawns on you what they mean, it's really pretty simple (tough to use in combat, though). It's definitely an "easy to learn, tough to master" situation.
It might be worth noting that they've been running this game very successfully for 10 yr. in Poland under the name, "Pride of Taern." This version replaces that and has some changes, but the combat and economy are the same.
Love your unbiased reviews because of you and your channel I will give it a try. It’s free to play not like I’m going to be out any money 💰
i have no doubt that you still even this is sponsored, will say what is on your mind regarding this game. Keep it up! downloading it now and iam curious how it will feel.
This kind of exponsors and adds is the ones i love, no bs just an onest opinión with pros and cons
1:39 slight correct at this point. Character creation is nothing to go crazy over, but actual customization is far more in-depth. It's just mostly locked behind a premium currency, as one would expect.
wah... looks good... will definitely give it a go... it is free-to-play after all... thanks Kira
seems cool, I really dig the art style
Going to wishlist this.
Love it, that art is 🔥
Weird I was just thinking about this game and came to your channel to look for your original video to try and remember the name. Between Lost Ark and Witch Queen I probably won't check it out for awhile but it seems interesting.
The combat reminds me very much for a very old style game called heroes of might and Magic
I grew up playing The Realm Online. Which is the oldest running MMO in the world. The main server is still up from I think 1995? It was a sierra game 2d with turn based combat. Seeing a modern turn based mmo brings back memories.
This looks good, worth trying imo 👍🍻
Game seems very unique. Will give it a try!
Love the content and commentary as always, also this game looks super interesting. Keep it up king
looks interesting gonna give it a try.
i like it because of it's maturity level. reminds me a little of age of conan back when that was popular. women with tits out walking around. violence and gore. none of that censored advertiser friendly crap the mainstream games usually do. and yeah, turn based is a breath of fresh air. you win battles based on your wit, not your reflexes
I'm actually impressed by the visuals and the turn based combat, different for an mmorpg even if this straddles the line of said genre.
Fair review of the game. I played free for around 4-5 days, liked the questing a lot and grew to like the combat after a rocky start. Not a huge fan of the pvp aspect but it hasn't intruded overmuch so far. I ended up getting 90 days of premium time and know I won't regret that choice. In a sea of big budget MMO's, this one is a gem. Edit: I'd like to add that most quests in other games were skip-fests, where you read a couple of lines of text, and the rest was 'yada yada yada' skip please; this one actually makes you want to read what's going on. The game has some very well-written quests.
Looks like this will be worth a try
Is that new music at the end Kira? Spicing things up!
Played a bit and planning to keep playing casually. Broken Rank supposed to come out on Android eventually. I m ok with the free to play and it's cash shop. It's good that people are made aware of what it's about. Ty for the review
Visually stunning
Those maps are stunning, whoever the artists are hard carrying. Exceptional.
suprisingly im enjoying this game
Kira getting that sponsor money. Hell yea.
Wow, this game looks right up my alley!
I can't wait to give it a tr-
"You can buy gold..."
Well that saves me some time, back to Final Fantasy.
Mr. Andy lets be real here, you were never going to try this game. You just wanted a chance to mention Final Fantasy 14 so you could strut about and peacock as if that game is superior and doesn't have boosts, store mounts, pets, sexy outfits, and the like all for sale. The only reason Square Enix doesn't sell gill is because it's not as valuable of a currency as gold is in other games. This was great design on their part but you better believe if it were not that way they would be selling it. FF14 has a diverse set of currency which is good but to act like they are some moral authority is silly, naive, and dishonest if you ask me.
@@kingjoe3rd Who the fuck is Andy?
I was actually hyped to try this game, I grew up on CRPGs.
But I don't play games that let you buy currency, that's it, no need to be so dramatic lol.
@@AbsoluteSkycaptain Andy is you. You new legal name is Final Fantasy Andy.
@@kingjoe3rd Maybe go outside for a bit, dude.
Get some fresh air, make a friend, it'll be good experience for when you're an adult.
Have a nice day.
@@kingjoe3rd u have some serious issues :)
Reminds me so much of Nodiatis! A modern version of it!
Nice Review.
Interesting game.
I'll give it a try.
Hey Kira Just checked and I don't see a review for Disciples Liberation. Its a single player turn-based isometric RPG game and is bloody amazing. I think you and many of your viewers would love this game. Its not cheap on Steam but worth every cent. Hope you check it out.
Good video !
I really enjoyed the game but decided to quit it because of how extreme the moderators are, got muted for a whole week because i only said fuck, attempted to reason with mods and admins but they saw no issue with the judgment even though they understood and agreed that what i did wasn't anything serious but they had to enforce regulations.
Kira please look into this extreme moderation issue every old player seems to be familiar and no chalant with this.
I love it when you find these gems I've never heard of... thanks Kira!
Kira, you ever fuck with VR? I just started a new VR mmo called Zenith. Literally got lost in it. The social aspect of vr games makes it so fun. It also seems like the population and reception of the game is very good so far.
this might be just what I need to hold me over until Lost Ark. Have you seen Zenith? any plans to make a video on it?
Separate progress in party play is actually a big switch off for my group. It does look like a great game however. It's just, going back to play the same quest 2-4 times falls under the category of chores. Especially if it's a quest that is a requirement for other/better/multiplayer content.
It does however look like it has room to change, not that I know anything about that.
That actually looks kinda fun 😂
I might have missed it but how do you feel about the forced PVP?
actually this look amazing
Character customisation looks like an NFT generator >:)
I find quite acceptable the model of Free to Play with monthly premium, It's similar to having a free demo, but better. The ability to buy stuff is a lot worse
I'd give the game a shot if it weren't for the multiplayer quest issue, being required to do every quest in the game two times when I want to play with my friend is such a hassle. Other than that the game looks cool and unique for the mmorpg genre
Oh it's solid, probably going to be the top indie MMORPG of the year.
Tested it a couple times last year so knew it would be good, seems people have taken to it which is nice to see.
love your shit dude, keep up the work, your logic and honesty is top shelf. cheers bruv
Fkn brave for a company to ask you to cover it :D hehe. That alone makes me like them tbh
It's a great game, however it on my pc it constantly crashes when trying to launch it
Listen up game companies, a lot of us only play games when recommended by LEGIT youtube channels like KiraTV,. I don't have time to play as much as I used to, so if I dont see it on a real youtube channel (im not counting the shills), then I don't bother, no time to waste. This one looks like it could be fun, giving it a shot today.
I absolutely love the style of this game! I will definitly give it a try! I do like F2P where there is a optional premium features. Because I see it as it's free to demo the game, and if you enjoy it you can pay for the full experience. I would though argue the term F2P is incorrect then, but yeah
More like free to try
Turn based ! I'm sold !
This game gives me sacred seasons 2 vibes
MMORPG exist
Gold farmers - “Feed our banks, scrub”
Hey Kira in the hopes you see this :), I started the game as well, I like it, but as an big fan of mmo and rpg I was wondering, since you seem to have contact with the developers. Do you have a little idea about the future, did they give you some info about the road map ? my only worry with this game is there is not mention about what's to come, and bit much talk about the whole F2p-platinum-subcritions (which I understand, on their website). Because seeing the map isnt very big, and I am at level 15 ( i think the max i 30), I am just worrying that I ll be bored/done of the game in only few more days. and there is not really any mention of the future nor the road map, i know it's a recent game but usually mmo have a little road map. thanks
They've not told me anything sorry dude
@@KiraTV1 thank you !
I've been having a good time with it so far. The game is surprisingly good looking outside of some dodgy combat animations. I think the multiplayer aspects are severely lacking though and I really wish it didn't have the ability to buy gear with irl cash.
Thanks for being transparent about the monetization of the video.
LOL thank you for this one bro, you saved me... there's nothing to play since NW downfall!!!
4:29 "Playing the game with one hand while watching Netflix or a podcast with another. :)))
Why couldn't they make it so that joining combat in party worked like in Dofus/Wakfu? Every player exist independently in the world while on party, and when a player interacts with a monster, the other players have a timer, when they can join the fight or not.
does it have an offline mode?
i did skip through a bit so might have just missed it, but is this a phone/tablet game?
I will try it mainly to support Indie Devs. Not much of a turn based combat fan, but it looks cool enough.
Still not sure I understand how/why it’s an MMO though?
Seems like an MMO that should have been a SP game. The MMO part gives the vibe that its tacked on just for the monetization (even if it wasn't the case).
Any time I saw Broken Ranks mentioned and there was a link to their website, the website would never load anything beyond the home page.
Kinda wish they just made it a pure crpg, maybe one with multiplayer (like Neverwinter Nights, say), and that it wasn’t free to play.
Crpgs are appreciated again, what with things like the Pathfinder games or masterpieces like Disco Elysium.
I would give this game a go but lost ark release is so close and I know for a fact I'm gonna sink hundreds of hours maybe even thousands of hours.
Had me at voodoo
I trust you, based on past experience. Lead on.
