DarkStory Online

They say that classics never die, and that does indeed seem to be the case of a lot of games out there that have stood the test of time valiantly against of tide of AAA games constantly knocking at their door. As such, a lot of developers wonder whether or not it is efficient any more to be innovative, and if sticking to classical mechanics is a better option. This is precisely the direction the developers of DarkStory took, as they managed to create a thriving MMO that follows the classical recipe to the letter.

The first thing you'll notice about DarkStory is that it uses a 2D 8-bit visual style, which some may consider a bold move considering we live in a time where there are F2P MMOs that look like the B2P titles of a few years ago. However, one cannot deny that these games still manage to charm a lot of players, especially those that grew up playing games that looked exactly the same.

The game starts of with you creating your very first character, and while the customization options or the amount of classes may not be all that impressive, game mechanics prove that each class has their own situation where they shine brighter than the others. Given that this is a MMORPG after all, a party of people that play different classes is probably crucial to tackle the late-game content. Aside from basic character management you have plenty of other RPG-specific features, such as the ability to use and equip items, stat point allocation upon leveling up and more.

The land of DarkStory promises fantastic adventure, magic and good friendships which will help you conquer dungeons, gain loot and have some of the best memories of your gaming life.
