“A bland and dreary game that is much like World of Warcraft.” My first impressions of a game titled “Pandora Saga: Weapons of Balance” I had hoped that this was not true. But to my dismay It was indeed true. But there is a strange fact of interest; I played this game for 5 hours before I decided to write this MMO review. It’s strange, I like the game. I’m wondering if I should just convert over to Final Fantasy 11 or World of Warcraft itself because this game (Pandora Saga) is really just the same thing. But alas I cannot and I think I know why, the game’s community (much supported by steam) is what’s giving me a new experience. I’ve not been challenged by a far better player in PvP nor have I been chastised for being a newbie or novice at the game. Instead I am supported by the growing community that is Pandora Saga. I’m honestly blown away in confusion. My attention span has greatly increased while playing this game and I honestly enjoy starting it up and engaging in some point and click PvE. Which is honestly baffling because this game is a 7/10 at best; The only reasonable explanation to this new found interest is the community because the graphics are nothing special. There is no voice acting (which isn’t a big deal because most MMOs don’t have it.) And the style of art is Japanese which is very common among MMOs recently. I don’t see anything special other than the community that seems to be supported by Steam users. The soundtrack I would like to comment on though, It shows promise in its musical numbers although it gets a bit laggy when entering battle and exiting battle.
Do I recommend this? Not really unless you want to play a game that is like a Ragnorok online/ WoW blend.
