Before anyone says anything; YES I remember what I said in my last review; that being said I wanted to give Aeria Games one last try to impress me before I swear off their titles for good. Since this game was recommended to me by a friend of mine I thought I’d try it out. I don’t regret the decision, but I should probably stick to finding my own games.
is an Anime-ish adventure game that takes place in a mystical land accessible through mirrors. The plots original but the gameplay is anything but, you’ll find yourself spending 85% of your time on DOMO grinding, which I guess for some isn’t bad but honestly you might as well play World of Warcraft, sure you’re still grinding there but at least there’s never a shortage of quests, where as with DOMO the quests are VERY few and VERY far between.
One of the good things about DOMO is mounts are introduced to you very early; around lvl 15 or so. Not only that but every mount (minus a select few) can fly, and get this: Your very first mount is your weapon. That’s right you fly on your weapon to get around the (relatively small) world map, but with every good thing there is also a bad thing.
What I cannot stand the most about this game is how durability works. Every so often you have to repair your items just like most other MMOs, but unlike other MMOs, each time you repair a weapon or armor its max durability is decreased; to the point it can ultimately become “damaged beyond repair” and brake in your hands. This can put players in a false state of panic making them worry about getting large amounts of money just to have enough to replace your stuff. Speaking of money; DOMO has one of the most annoying ways to get it. Your only source of income is farming, killing a ridiculous amount of creatures in order to sell tons of items some of which you might need later.
I also can’t stand how the leveling in the game is played out. Your player level will actually vary from class to class, you can be a level 60 as a Thief, but if you decide to try out mage you’re sent back all the way to level 10 (the minimal level for having a class other than the starting class which is commoner). Really all in all the game isn’t BAD per say, it’s just not good, I mean I don’t care for it to much, but I always find myself returning to the game, probably cause it’s got such a wonderful community and always throws daily events at you with fun rewards. Regardless don’t start this game unless you’re ready to dedicate A LOT of time to it.
