Cabal Saints Requiem
Cabal Saints Requiem Cabal Saint's Requiem Review
Cabal Saints Requiem is a free to play MMORPG available for you to download online. Unlike the upbeat happy appearance I experienced while playing another MMORPG called Iris Online, Cabal Saints Requiem takes a more realistic approach and the graphics and character models look more life like than the cartoony appearance from some other MMORPG games I have played recently.
If you have played a MMORPG game before, you should come to expect that the first thing you will ever do is create the type of main character you will like to play as. Some other MMORPG games offer you a lot of options to create many varied looks for your character. One of my favorites is a game called Epic Duel where you can even give them pink skin and hair! Sadly, this is not the case with Cabal Saints Requiem as the create options are one of the most limited I have ever seen in a MMORPG game before. You cannot alter the height or body shape of your character nor can you alter their skin color. If you want to create someone that looks like an alien, I suggest you play another game.
There are six classes for you to choose that include the following: Warrior, Blader, Wizard, Force Archer, Force Shielder and Force Blader. Once you have picked your desired appearance and class type, you are then ready to venture off and play Cabal Saints Requiem. Before you do that, you have to type in your second password. It is a good security measure for this game to use since there are a number of people out there who love to hack into your accounts or want to anyway. I experienced lots of people wanting my account while playing another game called Epic Duel.
Before you play the game though, be sure to check your computer is powerful enough to play the game. As aforementioned, the graphics in Cabal Saints Requiem are impressive and realistic and my 1GB ram computer struggled at times to handle playing the game. In the end, I managed to play it, although it is best advised you play this game using a 2GB ram computer or more to experience no lag.
In terms of gameplay, the controls are comfortable and it is one of the only MMORPG games to make use of the keyboard for you to move around your character. I find this more comfortable as pointing and clicking your character using the mouse just for them to move around gets repetitive. It is also one of the very few MMORPG games that does not make use of the point and click controls to fight enemies either. Each character has a set of skills that you can assign using the number keys on your keyboard. Each number represents a different skill so it is best you press the skill you would like to use most. Characters have a lot of different skills in their repertoire and you can dish out a lot of impressive looking combos with a mix of both physical and magic attacks.
Monster design in this game is freakishly frightening. The monsters are based on real life animals but they have their own weird twist. The first type of enemy you will face is a praying mantis. Normally these insects are small but in this game, they are the same as humans! There are a plethora of other unworldly monsters littered throughout the game they will surprise even the most hardcore gamer. One thing that may deter some people is that your health bar does not regenerate as fast as in other MMORPG games. This may cause some frustration if you are battling against multiple enemies at once. Although you can help your troubles by stocking up on a lot of potions!
Maps in this game are small although you can transport yourself to many different worlds using portals. This is unlike in other MMORPG games where you can venture off into the distant sun in one huge sprawling landscape. Although loading times can be a bit of a pain while you are moving from one world to another, I liked this as it means the game can still maintain a high level of visual quality as a result. I tend to notice that games with large worlds with no loading times tend to look outdated in terms of their graphics.
Cabal Saints Requiem is a highly enjoyable MMORPG game with excellent graphics and comfortable controls. Not to mention the combat system is better than in most other games from the same genre. Bear in mind, you may want to play this game on a powerful computer as the game will struggle to perform if played on an inferior machine. Nevertheless, if you have the required specs to play the game, I highly recommend that you play this game.
