To review a game like Vindicates (Mamboing Heroes is the Korean title), as well as in theory, any other MMORPG, it is clear that not just a handful of days, which is why we decided to bring you our impressions hot in the preview you're reading , hoping that they can devote more time to play in the future. Indeed, given the current overcrowding of proposals in this area - free-to-play fantasy, so to speak - it's also good to do once a distinction: Vindicates is a title perhaps more ambitious than the average, because of some peculiarities It is also yet another result of a mentality of game design, which by its nature can not please everyone. Deepen this issue but obviously, in the meantime, let's focus on the premises.

The first choice made ​​by the developers Ducat atypical, an internal study of Nixon, has been to adopt the Source Engine by Valve as a technological platform, then taking a loan (so to speak) roughly corresponding to an engine - the release in Korea South took place almost two years ago - that of the two Left 4 Dead . Obviously the needs of an MMORPG are very different from those of a shooter, but it happens here too, the bulk of the game play consists of a four-player cooperative mode for PvE, with some raid and the usual side dish to serve as a hub for socializing, divided in several dozens of "channels" rather than a few servers as we usually see in other titles.

At first, let's face it, everything is pretty alienating (especially for those familiar with the Source Engine), if only for the approximation that is apparent in some detail and stride, more so with the traditional "clean" games Valve submission. Having got used to these flaws, however predictable, for a medium budget production, emerges more clearly and allow to appreciate the overall art direction, provided that at the start like a typical Baroque style of Korean games. As per tradition, then, very few choices regarding the appearance of your character (hair, eyebrows and little else) are accompanied by half a flood of tacky to say the least armor to conquer and craft along the way, some hideous, others drinking when equipped right colors - and of course you can change color at all.
