Review
Lucent Heart is a Free to Play Fantasy MMORPG with special emphasis on its Zodiac and Cupid systems, that offer you special bonuses depending on your birth month and in-game partner.
While the majority of the gameplay in Lucent Heart is traditional at best, its innovative focus on the Zodiac, which begins with character creation and never stops, and partner-based quests and dungeons allow it to offer a truly unique cooperative MMO experience.
The innovation begins with character creation; specifically, with entering your complete date of birth. Your character will appear only as a silhouette until you've entered these details, then, your real character will emerge, branded with the appropriate sign of the Zodiac, and the standard creation process will begin. There aren't a great deal of customisation options here, but there should be enough to create a character that suits your individual style.
Once you've entered the game you'll be guided around the staring zone by a series of quests that will ultimately end with the selection of your class: Warrior or Mage. Fortunately, this process is greatly aided by the in-game quest navigation system, which will literally guide you from quest to quest automatically, or should you prefer a more manual approach, will lead yo from quest to quest with a large glittery line.
Once you've completed the tutorial quests it's off into the real world to... well, complete more quests. Luckily, Lucent Heart features a rather cool rewards system that takes a variety of different forms: every time you complete a quest you'll receive a reward. Yes, that one's obvious. Every time you gain in level, you'll also receive a reward. Okay, that's been done before, but it's a nice addition. Finally, you'll also receive regular rewards just for playing. These 'accumulated online time rewards' really are awesome. I just received a mount for one of mine. Happy surprise.
From here it's really just a matter of progression. Each time you log in you'll receive a new Zodiac bonus that correlates your date of birth to the current day; this is referred to as your 'luck' of the day, and increases your abilities in love, combat, strength, fortune and crafting. As you progress further and complete various achievements, you'll eventually awaken the 'Astroblade', an ancient weapon infused with the power of all 12 signs of the Zodiac.
Reach level 30 and the real fun begins; the full power of the Zodiac and the Astroblade will be unleashed, allowing you to transform into your Zodiac form wearing special armour to give you the extra power you'll need to defeat the toughest opponents in the land.
Cool, huh? We thought so. Though Lucent Heart is an obvious localisation from the Asian MMORPG market, that doesn't stop it from being a formidable opponent in the ring of innovative MMO features, nor does it stop it from being one of our favourite upcoming FTP games of the year.
