The closed beta of MU Legend has started and shows us impressions of the MMO with Diablo character.
On October 25, the launch of the closed beta of MU Legend, the sequel to MU Online, took place. During the testing phase of the action RPG, the strong focus on hack and slash elements is evident. The class selection features 5 different classes that fit various play styles. As with MU Online, there is also no class in the successor that is solely specialized in healing. We show you the first impressions of MU Legend.
Quests and dungeons await you
Players start the game with the usual character creation. You have the choice between the 5 classes Dark Lord (Tank), Blader (Melee DPS), War Mage (Wizard), Whisperer (Archer), and Emphasizer (Ranged – Crowd Control). Once the game starts, you begin your adventure at a high level (100) and start a battle against a huge monster. After completing the first section of the game and getting a taste of your character’s high level, you will be downgraded and will have to earn your new levels.
To do this, you need to kill many monsters that grant you experience points, with which you can level up 2 different levels. One level is the normal character level, which allows you to use stronger equipment and new talents as you level up. Your soul level is divided into 4 different sections: Attack, Defense, Support, and Miscellaneous, where you can allocate points upon leveling up. Additionally, there are weapon skills that are divided, for example, for the Dark Lord into 1-handed and 2-handed weapons. Quests are mainly focused on killing monsters rather than solving other tasks. In cooperative dungeons, you can fight alongside other players against nasty monsters and bosses, as you can see in the video.
The combat system may not be as smooth as in Diablo, but it offers lots of content
According to MMOCulture, the combat system of MU Legend is not as “fluid” as in Diablo. However, this is compensated by huge maps and a lot of content. In dungeons, there is the coveted equipment that you otherwise only obtain in town through crafting. To prevent players from farming dungeons all day and obtaining their equipment too quickly, the developers have taken precautions. You can enter a total of 10 dungeons per day. After that, there is a mandatory break until the counter resets. From time to time, there is an “Overdrive” for certain regions. During Overdrive, the 10-dungeon limit is lifted, and you can enter as many dungeons as you want per day.
Like every other action RPG?
If you liked the first impressions of the game and want to try out MU Legend yourself, you can register for the beta on the official website. Beta registration on MULegend.webzen.com. In the humorously presented video by TheHiveLeader, you will see the various aspects of the game. He describes the game in terms of appearance and playstyle as “like every other action RPG,” which is not necessarily a negative assessment. The old scheme of “Accept a quest, kill something, accept a new quest, kill even more” also came up during quests. In summary, he describes MU Legend as a well-polished action RPG MMO that, on first impression, seems somewhat generic. Those who like these games should register for the beta phase.
