The YouTuber Refaser dedicates himself to Blade & Soul and examines it for an in-depth review. What is his conclusion? Check it out…
The action MMORPG Blade & Soul has been released “in the West” for a few weeks now and has since encouraged more than 2 million players to register and try the game. It’s time to take a closer look at the game. The YouTuber Refaser has gone to the effort of creating a comprehensive video review of the game, discussing both its strengths and its negative aspects. Check out his review of Blade & Soul here:
The strong points – Combat, Story, and Cool Options
Refaser is particularly taken with the game’s combat system. For the first time in an MMORPG, it doesn’t feel like the boring repetition of rotations that you practiced beforehand. Instead, you quickly get the feeling of being the protagonist in a martial arts movie. The attacks come fast, and you constantly have to adjust your fighting style to deal with even ordinary opponents. This offers PvP fans fast and dynamic battles that can keep you motivated for a long time.
An additional plus point for him is the staging of the story, as at least the main quest line is fully voiced, which would already be unusual for a Free2Play MMO. Although Blade & Soul is already three years old, Refaser also praises the beautiful visuals of the characters. While the game shows its age, it does not have to hide from other representatives of the genre.
The weak points – Monotonous leveling, Stupid quests, Too easy dungeons
However, not everything in Blade & Soul is pure gold. Especially leveling quickly becomes monotonous, and the combat system does not help with that. The rather confined world hardly invites exploration, and the quests are the usual MMO standard fare of “Kill 20 of these” or “Collect 7 of those”. The dungeons, the instances of the game, are interestingly designed but offer hardly any noteworthy challenge and are too easy during the leveling phase.
