Its another game by gameleon, so anyone know what kind of game is it? pvp based mmorpg ect..? Also are you able to get pets ^^:; ?

Downloaded and tried the Japanese version last year, i think it was called NIDA Dark Arena, graphics were a little too blocky and animation is stiff, though it might just be becoz its still a very early build of the game.

The character creation was cool it let me choose from a variety of cool looking mechs, some were built for speed, others were huge and built as tanks, some customization here and there and voila! I logged in and found the game area vastly spacious, the starting town was likea circular coliseum albeit with torn down walls and signs of a past war has ravaged it thorugh time.

Only a few other players were online and the NPCs are situated quite inconveniently far from each other. After a while of checking my items and skills I ventured out into the outside world and the same backgrounds greeted me, although the view distance was really far, sadly the same textures were recycled over repeatedly.

The first enemy was a mantis like insectoid, fight animations were really crappy and it looked like I was just standing next to the enemy while damage counters took effect. After realising that movement speed is severely slow and painstakingly traversing the huge landscape I found out that the same single enemy was used over and other with just color differences to point out the higher leveled enemy, but it was just that same enemy only sometimes the attack pattern and weapons used differed slightly.

Overall I found the game exeptionally huge and therefore full of potential for improvement in future patches, maybe I though to myself I would play it again after a year or two when english version is available and the gameplay, textures, enemy models, movement speed and attack animations are added in.
