Sword Girls Deck Explanation

Sword Girls Online is starting their Closed Beta! I have a chance to try them and get addicted in no time. Well, at least for now. .Cute girls, swords, great artworks, easy to play, and also crafting are some of the features in this game. Maybe for some player it's lame and only sells good artwork and girls to attract gamers. But when I play this game, I feel it's worth to play. 


A deck is something important in order to create a great gaming experience. When you play it for the first time, you have an option to choose what deck you want. There are four factions you can choose in this time:
  • Vita Faction. Choose this if you are defending type. Each card in this faction help each other to win the game. The best deck for newbie.
  • Academy Faction. A deck with some effective buff and debuff effects. Use them to control the game flow.
  • Crux Faction. Speaking about effects, this faction has a lot of them! Healing, defending, and also increase attack. It's great to use them alone with all their own faction cards or combine it with other factions to create a super deck!
  • Darklore Faction. If you like dark and vampiric character,then this faction is for you. This faction has the greatest debuff effect that can make your opponent panic when they're not ready.
 There are three types of card that can be use to play:
  • Character. This card can be only one in each deck. Each card has live points (something with number and heart in bottom right). When this points gone to zero, you lose!
  • Follower. A follower is an army. Use them to attack your opponent's character of to sacrifice to save your own character.
  • Spell. You know what about spell, right? Just like another card game, it's an effect card to help you twisting the game flow or to ensure your winning.
The other cards are Material And Gift Card. These cards are ingredients to craft a card. You can get it by fighting with other players or going to dungeon. You ca have them from campsite by clicking the Lab Tab in the lobby.


I'll post more another time. Happy gaming, Folks!

Live On December 7th?


I hope it's true, it seems the Sword Girls Online will launching the long-awaited closed beta tomorrow! Yay!
LIVE!?
I haven't try this game in its open beta, but from what I saw until now, I guess this game will booming in next year. I've tried Alteil and from my experience, even it's a great game with great concept, it still have some lacks. One of them is Alteil's loading time. To those with very limited bandwith, Alteil is very unfriendly.I hope it not happen to Sword Girls Online.

Cute ladies and battles, what more can be expected to a male in front of their PC? With enough dose of fanservice, and good overall system, I think Sword Girls Online will get its famous name in no time - Just like in its original version.

Get ready all, because the girls with their swords will come and conquer your brain :D And if you want to know it, please go to this page.  Happy game forever, Folks!

Mystic Card: When Traditional Meets Modern


Mystic Card is a card game that inspired from Korean traditional card game known as Go-Stop with fantasy theme. Instead using those old Hanafuda cards, Mystic Card using a series of fantasy characters as the picture in the card. The objective of this game is to try to get 7 points first. Whoever get 7 points can have an advantage to choose either to o an attack to the opponent or to do Instant Win.

It seems it's difficult in the fist time, but when you get used to it, it will fell easy. You just have to play your card to get a pair with a card in the center. If you get a pair and then when the next draw the card makes another pair, the other will be yours. Honestly, I don't read the tutorial well. I just clicking those cards in the tutorial pop-up window. The best way to learn a game is to jump straight to the game it self, get lose, and learn it. So, after finishing the Basic tutorial, I start my journey and get my three strike losses! It'a a little bit sucks, but then I battle with AI and get some strike wins. When you lose, some of the money (not real money, of course) will be taken by your opponent, and vice versa. More winning means more money.

And this is the basic tutorial, Pals!

And here is the way you can get the points. I suggest to take Instant Win as soon as you get 7 points or more. In that way, you'll get fast money and don't have to suffer counter attack when you trying to attack.

Remember this, pal! It's from the advance tutorial.

There's no card or pack selection here. You don't have to arrange your deck to play. And when you try to play it, it will get you addicted in no time. The artworks are not too special, but they're enough to make me enjoy the game.

Me battle with an AI. And I win!

Oh, almost forgot this. It's a social game, so you need a Facebook account to play this. And here is the link. Enjoy your game ;-)

P.S: AI is so easy to handle.Make sure to drain their money and get as much as experience from them before fight a real player.

It's a Dragon Age!


Welcome to the Dragon Age! I've just tried this game. And my opinion is... well, it's quite average. In the first time I expect a stunning animation and maps and battles and more. But it turns into some average opening. All players start their journey in some place called Sanctum City, where you have to finish some easy quests and level up faster. It's as fast as you just need about 10 minutes to reach level 5. It actually a MMORTS game, but when I do one of the quests, I saw this. 

Yes, I know this! It's a card game..... is it?

If you familiar with card game, then you'll recognize this interface as a card game interface. But it's not quite true.It's still Dragon Age, and it looks this is the battle scene. I expect to see a moving unit that battle each other, but, well, this fighting style is OK. I like card game, so I enjoyed this.

The story starts in a medieval-like world where the player starts to gain a title and land from the king. After you get a land, you need to defend yourself and make your people wealth (yeah, I know. What can you expect from MMORTS anyway?) And just like in some other MMORTS, you need to assign some heroes as your army's leader. You can increase your heroes status, too. 

It's my first hero!

And how about the land? Just look this picture and tell it yourself.
It reminds me a little to Evony
Well, I have to admit it's more better than Evony. And another thing that makes me like this game is, of course, the art that looks splendid. 

It's cute!

It's still beta version, so I understand when it feels slow and uneasy to login. It't a promising game.If you want to try it, please go visit this link. Enjoy your game!



Atlantica Goes To Facebook?

Be joy all my fellow gamers! For who to know about Atlantica Online but can't play it because it need client, then it's a great news for you (include me also)! I just get this news from this great site about this news. It seems migration to social media like Facebook is a new trend for game developers. Well, you can't blame them because they just trying to get some of your money while giving you the pleasure. It's worth I think. Look at those Zynga's game. It's all free, but in the same time they still can get a really huge amount of dollars by selling some special items to help the players to accelerate their game.

The era of all those clients and console game seems almost over. It's time to retreat to social media and web-based games! Yeah, that's it! Why you need to troubling your promising costumers with all those client programs and CDs when you can just give them what they want immediately?

I wonder when I can play Ragnarok in Facebook to. Hopefully soon.

Nadirim, The Stronghold In a Browser

Okay, it's not a game from The Stronghold franchise. But looking at this game's graphic reminds me to that time where two sultans are fighting for land and glory. Yes, the soul of this game is a world in ancient Arabian world. The names used in the game by the NPCs and the quests have some Arabic flavor, even though it’s not surely an Arabic words (but who cares, right?).

Nadirim is a kind of unique web browser game. While other games trying to put RTS or pure RPG in their gameplay, Nadirim is instead using Turn-Based Strategy in their fighting scene. Well, it still has some quests to fulfill in order to level up, just like an ordinary RPG. But it’s all different in fighting. When you fight, you will see an arena with you and your enemy (monsters, NPCs, etc.) inside it. There are hexagonal tiles between and around you and your enemy. You will have to step up to any possible direction or stand on your position, and then launch your attack. There are a bar in the bottom left of your browser. If you wanna skip the step turn, just click the other pictures and it automatically passes the step turn. You can choose wether to launch an attack or heal yourself with healing items. Your attack has a range, so stepping to the right tile can give you enough range to launch your attack and also defend yourself from enemy’s attack. Your enemy can also do the same, so better to careful in your step. If you wanna simply end your turn, just click the button in the bottom left for end your turn.



Nadirim has RPG style on it as well. In the first, you have to choose one of three classes and the gender of your character. The classes are: Rouge, Warrior, and Sage. The Rouge has assassin look, with their katara and deadly and tricky attacks. The Warrior class took an image of Ottoman warrior in Crusade War. With their Battle cry, everything can be different in a fight. The Sage has it ability based on magic and alchemist art. Their spells and poisons can reach quite long range. If you like long-range battle, it’s a good choice to use.

That’s all about the pros. The cons? Of course there are some of them. It needs some times to load. It means it’s a heavy game. It’s worthy, though. The game has good 3D effect, so it’s equal. Each character has 100 energy points that will runs off each time you do a quest or battles. It feels like constrain the character’s movement, and I’m sure there are some people that hate that. The old style in quest windows and also in the menu bar is sometime feels dragging my game spirit back off — okay, it’s subjective.

And that’s all I can say about this game. If you like the “1001 night” world, then you’ll not care about this game’s contra. So then, enjoy your game everyone! And don’t forget to share it with me. See you again!

Crystal Saga

Crystal saga's loading page
Well, it seems the claiming campaign they use is not a gibberish at all. The 3D quality is above the average. Even so, this web-based game doesn't take a long time to load. That's a good plus point for anyone who have a connection issue.

The gameplay is simple, since it's just like another RPG game. There are many quests (Main Quest and Optional quest) you can take to make your level up faster. You can also get great items from clearing a quest. You don't have to walking around the map dizzily to find the quest's NPC since it' has Quest Tracking to help you to find the spot you're looking. Each time you finish a quest or killing a monster, you will get some experience points to level up. I guess RPG players know how that work.

There are 5 classes you can choose: Knight, Mage, Ranger, Rouge, and Priest. Each class with their own advantages. Each time your character level up, it will get some skill points (earn start from level 10) that you can use to learn some fighting skill. Each class can only using a weapon or armor that suitable to their class. You can get those from NPC or by killing a monster. It's usually when you kills a monster you will get a weapon or an armor but it's not suitable to your class. If this happen, just keep them. You can sell them for some bronze or silver and buy something that suitable to you. Almost all item in Crystal Saga can be sell, as long a it's not a Bound item.


As other similar games, Crystal Saga also have pet system. You can taming a wild monster and use it as your pet. They will very helpful in the battle, so make sure you have one. The taming item in Crystal Saga is called Pet Taming Scroll. 


OK! Enough with this posting! Why you don't try it yourself? Fell free to comment here and share your experience with me. Good play everyone!
