Revelation
Revelation is a bright, solid representative of the Asian school mmorpg with flights, dynamic boevki and emphasis on the execution of quests. The game was developed by the company NetEase – the most select one, to whom Blizzard entrusted the Chinese localization of World of Warcraft. There was no revolution in the genre of the project – the Chinese simply took all the best from modern mmorpg and poured into one container. It turned out to be solid, large-scale and nyashno. Pandas and pagodas are attached.
Overview
Five years – this is how much NetEase spent on the development of its flagship project. During this time, a bunch of mmorpg AAA-class (Black Desert, Archeage, Blade & Soul) appeared on the market, so the meeting committee turned out to be serious. Surprisingly, Revelation did not hit the dirt in the dirt – in terms of performance, it is in no way inferior to the coryphaeuses of the genre. Yes, this is a classic Asian MMO with an abundance of kimonos, combat robes and color gamma on the verge of a foul, but this does not detract from the merits of the developers.
From China with Love
That only there is a killer character editor, where any part of the body (even the most frank) can be stretched in any direction. Stuck here for a couple of hours with a cup of tea, molding a sultry beauty – a trifling matter. In the game, the characters look even steeper – the abundance of equipment and all sorts of different caps affects. “Grafon” in Revelation is, and not bad, although the sharp eyes of a professional will notice the abundance of soap in the background.
All this is compensated by the open world, it is better to navigate through the air. For those who like difficulties, there are ordinary horses, but these creations are completely useless because any character in the game is capable of making kilometer jumps a la Blade & Soul. But for long-distance travel, there are wings.
Great world, great opportunities
The authors claim full freedom of action in the game (I go where I want, I do what I want), but in practice freedom is limited to the quest line. Severe grind in the spirit of Lineage II is not here – the main progress is achieved through the fulfillment of tasks. Fortunately, sad situations in the spirit of “kill-deliver-bring” in Revelation is not enough, although at first you will have to fight with the mewing heads of cabbage and other cartoon misunderstandings.
One of the main game chips is the variational guidance system. There is also a classic “target”, and a fashionable “non-target” and even “semitargets” – a kind of hybrid in the style of Guild Wars 2. All three types of management are available at any time.
Classes in the game a bunch. There are huge raid dungeons with giant bosses, single and group for 5-20 people, resource collection, 6 major craft professions and 16 additional specializations, city labor exchanges, construction of guildalls and a unique system of relationships between players, within which one can fall in love or hate Character.
50 shades of massacre
Well, now about the most important thing. About PvP. It is free here and exists not as an appendage, but as a key element of the game. It is available from the 30th level and is turned on and off at the player’s will. There is a PK system, massive battles in the arena, designed for 10-30 players. Total modes about 15, including capture of the flag, control points and even the usual dezmatch. But all this is flowers. Berries – guild wars with the capture of castles and the control of territories. The developers claim that such massacres can accommodate up to 5000 players at a time, but in practice such clusters were not observed anywhere (even in China), so this moment has yet to be checked.
Ambitious, multifaceted and familiar
What in the end? Obviously, Revelation is a product of the highest class. The only thing you can blame the developers for is the excessive borrowing of elements from other games. Revelation is like a nuclear cocktail, where there is everything that the soul desires. If you are tired of something in one game, then be sure – here it is also there. It’s good or bad – decide for yourself.
