Review

When creating a character you must first select one of the three factions; these won't have any effect on your starting locations, but will help identify your character later in the game. Next you must choose from one of the four classes: Warrior, Mage, Assassin, or Sura. The only class here that should throw off an MMORPG veteran is the Sura, which is basically a Mage / Melee hybrid in Metin2. Like so many other MMORPGs, character customization is agreeably limited, though characters can be male or female and each have two different clothing sets. 

Metin2 starts you out in a field surrounded by packs of dogs. Your first instinct may be to attack these animals, but be sure to equip the weapon in your inventory first. Once you start swinging at the dogs, the ease and fluidity of Metin2's combat will sink in. As your character swings his weapon, multiple enemies in front of you will be struck and be tossed backwards. This fast paced multi-target cleaving combat style makes for some fun game play and the auto-loot feature means you won't waste time after each kill picking up gold. 

Then there’s quests. The kill quests will instruct you to kill 2 or 4 monsters at a time, helping to ease you into the new system. At level 5 you may specialize your class further. For example, the warrior can specialize in defensive or offensive styles. The mid and end game features in Metin2 include the factional PvP system where each side elects a king to lead them in the never ending war between the three countries. Individual guilds can pool their money to purchase fancy guild forts while higher level characters can own mounts. 

While limited in the traditional MMORPG sense, Metin2 more than makes up for that with its dynamic combat system and factional Player-versus-Player combat, which is the main focus of the game. It’s definitely worth the experience; this combat system really is as innovative and enjoyable as any we’ve ever seen.
