CABAL Online

The world of MMORPGs is very large, diverse and full of life. There are plenty of great games to choose from and CABAL Online is one of them. The action takes place on the mythical continent of Nevareth where a group of men named Cabal, once set out to create a perfect world to live in only to see it fall to ruins and now, what’s left of it is threatened by a dark force.

As with most MMORPGs, you get to choose from one of multiple character types, each specialized in one or more forms of combat. CABAL Online allows you to play as a Warrior, Blader, Wizard, Force Archer, Force Shielder and Force Blader, characters that can be customized to a great extent.

Heroes level up as they gain experience, you unlock new powers, become eligible to equip certain items and learn how to imbue your weapons and armor. The game has a decent amount of aspects to which you need to familiarize yourself before you go out to explore the world around but CABAL Online has that covered in a series of short and explicit tutorials.

After you’ve learned the basics, you’re ready to leave the safety of your town and fight the minions that are scattered all around, each one more powerful than the other.

From a visual point of view, CABAL Online looks good although we can’t speak of high end graphics. Design for NPCs, characters, minions, equipment and environment is appealing and certainly is one of many selling points for the game.

Controls are those which you find in most MMOs but with a couple of setbacks, for example you there is a fixed angle at which the camera can be raised and you can't really see what lies ahead in the distance. Moreover, at times your character simply seems to get stuck on the simplest of turns or world props. Even though it’s an open-world game, it feels fairly restrictive.

CABAL Online consists of most elements and features you find in nearly all MMORPGs but don’t take it as a clone. It’s far from it as it does add its fair share of unique elements and provides an attractive world in which you can battle all kinds of monsters.
