TOS is still a very very young game that takes note from its predecessors.

It seems heavily influenced by Ragnarok Online 1, dragon nest, and WoW, and perhaps final fantasy tactics, to a small degree.

If you enjoyed those games, it's very likely you would enjoy this game. The world is gorgeous, and the music is nice. The storyline isn't bad if you're into that sort of thing. Gameplay is okay.

The funnest part about ToS, and also the scariest part are the character customizations. You have A LOT of freedom making your build. There is no *i'm an archer*, or *i'm a healer*. There are several jobs you can take, that altogether can make you a unique character.
If you do not think about your builds ahead of time, you WILL be punished.

I've spent at least 1/3 of my ToS time theory-building my characters. It is A LOT of fun. You aren't just grinding for gears, exp, or brainlessly questing. You are building towards a character that is yours.


There are a lot of unsatisfied, very entitled customers who have written negative reviews for ToS. While there is some truth to what they say, their anger sort of blinds them. ToS is a very young game, and they have made it very clearly that they are not just another WoW copycat game.

I've seen the staff try very hard to make sure the game is enjoyable. I've seen them implement several fixes in the last three weeks. They are quite active, which makes me feel like there is a lot of room for improvement.

There was a really really bad gigantic bot problem a week ago. The staff showed their proactiveness by decimating the bot population. It feels like 85% of them are gone. The problem isn't as bad anymore.

Though, if you do decide to play/buy this game, prepare to get frustrated from time to time.


Pros:
-Beautiful
-One of the best class customization mechanics i've seen
-Staff trying very hard
-Story isn't stupid
-Music isn't annoying
-Cute pets in the future (can anyone say guinea pig?)
-Nice little misc features (there are many, i won't list them).
-You can killsteal people you hate
-There is an actual limit to the pay2win you can do. Something most games can't say.
-A lot of brazilians


Cons.
-A lot of brazilians (if you aren't brazilian, many of them will snub you)
-buggy
-skills can be mysterious
-there are a lot of bots
-people can killsteal you
-buggy
-did i mention buggy
-many barriers to trading.


Imo, the frustration is worth the fun it is playing the game. I love it. A lot of people will say the game isn't balanced. Neither is Pokemon. And they're both fun.

4/5

It's a great game. but 4/5, because it could be better.
