It's currently in closed beta but I've been enjoying it so far. Really simple battle system but I still enjoy it. Of course it has the gender locked characters and as usual there are only boy choices for melee...but I'll deal with it as I can't play mage/ranged as well as I do for melee :p

Has anyone else given this a try? If so, what do you think of it? It reminds me of CastleVania quite a lot, and not just because of the vampires :p

My CB key never came in my e-mail T_T but i know ill be playing that as well as Dragons nest and DFO

I tried it for a bit but just couldn't get into it. xD the dungeons were fun though, and I loved the mages, but I'd prefer games with more customization. Everything else just seemed.. boring~

I have to admit the customization...or lack of it...bothers me a bit. Really, the only thing you can do to make your avatar look unique is to craft or buy fashion items, you have absolutely no options to change them in the beginning. And as of yet I haven't had any problem buying ALL the skills and I'm level 17. I do like the game but I'll admit some of these things get to me.

That's not too bad. I haven't really gone far. just to level.. 4?

I'm level 18. I think the CBT caps at level 20. I really hope the server will be more stable though, I get some random lag and sometimes the party breaks because I don't connect to the dungeon server while my beloved does...so she's in the dungeon alone while I'm stuck in town.

They went to OBT and unfortunately it now has a lot of bugs since they added more servers. I enjoy it a lot as it's basically CastleVania online...even if I do have to play as a boy since I don't like playing Angela at all.

The games alright but sucks when ur friends aren't around to Play as it is with all dungeon crawlers

I like the game's character art.

I agree with you, Night. Playing with friends is funner. Actually, playing with friends makes anything funner.

I don't enjoy online games much unless I at LEAST have someone to talk to, or in the case of these action ones, someone to play with. This one I still only get to play with one person, but still...more fun than soloing. :3

Is it free? Do I have to download things to play it?

If it's free and there is no download...where is a link? lol

There is a download. And it is free, at the very least, I was able to get to level 20 in CBT without needing a single things from the cash shop.

i tried it, but I never like playing in Closed beta, cause all the hard work gets deleted afterwards.
Now I might try it again, but I dunno. Gets a little repetative. And I wish we had more character customization options. But oh well.
Maybe if I could get a friend or two into it...

-waltzes in with cosplay-

Ok, ok, now I'm just flaunting. /shot

i have rusty hearts aswell
i simply love the game
and i chose for frantz as my main character xD

though they have recently released natasha,
so might try her out aswell, and who knows.. maybe she'll be my new main character xD

but i don't actually think so, as i just love frantz.
