DnD Meets Borderlands


Pandora Saga is a vast PvP heavy adventure MMO, there are many character races to choose from, each are easily recognizable, but at the same time completely unique, and there are tons of customization options available for them.

Pandora has something I like to call "Multiple-branch classes" Although there are preset classes starting with warrior, scout, and mage and then branching off to other classes, depending on what special abilities you spec your character in, it can play a wide variety of different roles. A scout can spec into either bows for long distance or a dagger for close range fighting, and as an interesting third option, later on in the game he can equip a shield and sword and use traps. Mages can choose to go flat out elemental damage, or they can become either a "Corrupter" or "Shadow Blade," who serve as 'mystic knight' classes. (Melee and magic hybrids)

The game has a low level cap and pvp is introduced very quickly, the game also requires a good amount of teamwork as a lot of enemies can deal heavy damage to a single person. You also gain xp ALOT faster in a group; gaining +20 exp per kill per member in your party (I heard it caps out at +100 but I never got around to confirming it.) The game also has no invisible walls which is actually quite amusing at some times, however you still can't get over things that are painfully obviously impossible to cross like the many towering walls of the games beautifully constructed towns.

Pandora Saga scores a 7 out of 10 good work you guys.
