I Played Dragonica!!!
After watching the hilarious Audition-spoof dance sequence on Youtube, (featuring Bruce Lee and Michael Jackson), and not being able to find much information about the game, I’ve finally parked myself at MMOSITE.com since this place seems to have the most comprehensive details about Dragonica for English-speaking gamers, as of now.
A couple of weeks back, a friend contacted me about joining a Focus Group test session inSingapore
Let’s say we spent a lot of time laughing.
This is one funny game.
If you thought Bruce and MJ only appear in the promo-clip, you’re seriously mistaken. Why summon a dragon or a Lich to fight when you can summon a naked girl wrapped in a bath-towel to distract your enemies? The Morphing skills are also extremely cute, with each class being able to transform their heads into different creatures or objects mid-battle. Talk about distracting your enemies!
Mission instances are timed and you can fight solo or in a squad, with your final results ranked on a chart. You also get better item drops for completing high-level instances. Boss characters are tough. We went up en masse against a huge green Hulk-like guy with a funny mustache but he pretty much PWNed. I’m curious to level up and go in again.
But the best part by far was the PvP segment. We only tried the Death Match mode, with 4-man teams pitted against each other in a battle to the end, where points are based not just on who’s left standing but who executed the best moves and highest combos. The entire roomful of normal-seeming people basically devolved into blood-thirsty maniacs in-between trying to stop laughing hysterically as Bruce Lee and Chicken-heads made their appearance, while we tag-teamed and pounded each other into the ground.
(I said this is no Maple.)
I shall not add anymore spoilers.
Game-play wise, it’s actually pretty easy to get a hang of, but translations need to be in place and some of the bugs ironed out. That doesn’t mean it’s just easy to play though. Entering a higher-level area once resulted in our avatars lying in a pile of multi-colored little bodies (yes, you look cute even when you die) when one person strayed a little too far and led a horde of skeletons straight to us.
Closed-beta is slated for early May ‘08. Focus Group testers are guaranteed an invite-slot.
Don’t hate me.
