Nexon’s next entry to the world of MMORPGs is Dragon Nest, a game that will appeal to casual and hardcore gamers alike. According to Nexon, the thing that makes Dragon Nest unique is that the action RPG features a third-person, over-the-shoulder perspective so it’ll bring players really close to the action.
The up to four-player game will feature four character classes: warrior, archer, cleric and sorceress. I ran through the dungeon “Catacombs” as the sorceress and made use of nearly a dozen magic spells to back up my party. The sorceress has a standard and secondary attack associated with the mouse buttons and spells are tied to various keys on the keyboard as one would expect in a game like this. You’ll be able to use an Xbox 360 controller to play the game but I don’t think a controller would work that efficiently for a player.
The dungeon we saw was pretty straightforward as you need to fight the various monsters until you reached the boss. The attacks and spells, even with the cute-like visuals, were somewhat cool looking at least. You can collect loot, acquire and equip items to make your character stronger and there’s even Player versus Player combat.
