They gutted the F2P aspect, players complained.

Devs listened, fixed the issue, and are still giving out compensation.

Don't let the early review bomb kill this game.

Other than that:
-Combat is fun
-Story is great (so far)
-XB mode is AMAZING

A banger

Fun grind, flashy skills, ARPG but as an MMO. The enhancing system is way better than other Korean MMOs imo (your gear doesnt straight up disappear if you fail, your enhancement level doesnt go down either). Currently @ T3 with 1335 iLvl and I can say i enjoyed every bit of it.

I'm only an hour in but so far so good. There's a few bugs that make you reset to your nearest checkpoint, but the checkpoints are pretty generous so it's no big deal. The story is okay so far (haven't really played long enough to say anything though) but the combat is REALLY good. Like a first person DMC almost. Will update when i'm further in.

Edit: Ok i only played two hours but I beat the game on violent difficulty (i think it's the equivalent to normal for other games).

Pros:
Combat is fun and freestyle friendly
Graphics are pretty good and not too unoptimized (I had no framerate problems aside from the occasional loading after death)
Simple, uncluttered UI
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Cons:
Overall story is short
Some bugs make you have to reset to last checkpoint

If you're into hack n' slash games you'll prob enjoy this one. $20 is pretty steep for how incredibly short it is, but with the amount of work you can see behind it I would say it's still worth it.

Best MMO on the market, I feel. If you're thinking about getting the game, at least start the free trial and make your character before Endwalker (or any future expansions) come out or else you might just be locked out of the world you want to play in from congestion :(

Very fun game, but also kind of short (at least getting your first victory is about 15~ hours). My friends and I probably took about 6 sessions total to finish the game. The adventure up to that point, though, makes the game pretty worth it at 20$. And if you're into beating personal records then you might have a little more fun out of this than we did :)

The game is still in early access, so content might come later and i'll update it if it does

If you like to kill things with style more than efficiency and a deceptively deep combat system, this FRANCHISE is for you. No game does it like Devil May Cry

Sometimes legends die :/
