Bottom Line: The best gameplay I've ever experienced, console or MMORPG. Easy to pick up and start playing, but very difficult to absolutely master.
Final Grade: 10/10
Replay Value/Time: It all depends on what hooks YOU. As for me, I was hooked on it from day 1. It just felt so perfect in my hands. As for you, fellow gamers, if you like killing hordes of enemies, tough bosses, and battling the best of Lunia, try this out. If not, it may still keep your attention for a few months.
Bottom Line: It all depends on you. My opinion is that this is the most awesome game that I've ever played, but you might think its crap.
Community: This is another bleak spot in the game. Assuming you will play Global Lunia Gold, you are in for one tough ride.
The general community is nice to noobs and pros alike, but if you make a total idiot of yourself or just really suck badly, they WILL insult you. No questions asked.
The worst spot in the community is the PvP community. The general consensus is that if you can't air combo, you suck, unless you are a near-godly spammer who kills everybody you fight. Its mostly the noobs who do the insulting and style-attacking, however, and if you fight a skilled player, they probably won't care how you fight, as long as you put up a fight and don't stand there to die.
Mostly, its the spammers who get beat upon, simply because people get mad that they can run and blast a few spells their way while avoiding your every attempt to get in close. It annoys the crap out of people. A lot. So if you're looking to fit in with the community, don't be a spammer.
Bottom Line: Generally friendly and nice, but watch out if you're a spammer, a total noob, or excessively immature during online play.
Final Grade: 7.5/10
Bugs, Glitches and Lag: Ugh. This spot is awful. There aren't too many bugs to speak of-one I found out by accident when, during a 6-10L run, my air combo counter failed to reset. By the time I got to the boss, i had a total of 162 air combo hits.
There are a LOT of glitches. Most force your character to run or walk in a specific direction. You also lose control of your character-essentially making you a sitting(or in this case walking ;) duck.
The lag issue is the biggest one here. As is probably widely known, Ijji's servers SUCK. Majorly. With a good computer you might get minimal lag, but give it 6 months and you will start lagging, freezing, etc. Occasionally you will get a "Fatal Error" that will automatically close down Lunia,Lunia Gold or you may disconnect from a stage or PvP room.
Bottom Line: Plenty of lag to go around. Not much else here.
Final Grade: 7.5/10
Final Remarks: I love this game, and I'm sure you will too. Sure, its got crappy graphics, and occasionally the community sucks, and sometimes you lag out of a PvP room or a stage you really want to get done. Give it a try and maybe you will find a game that shines from inside.
