HKO CB - The First Day

Category: Default Game: Hello Kitty Online Posted on Apr 22, 2008 10:19 pm


I seriously could not wait to get home to play.
Anyway, some random thoughts about my 5 or so hours of gameplay:

After logging in and choosing a server, I got to make a character.  There were about 5 or so skin color choices, around 4 eye choices, and 3 hair selections.  You also get to enter random little tidbits about yourself, such as your birth date and blood type (how Asian XD).  After creating my character, an intro movie played.  Despite being a little bit cheesy, it was well made.  (Sorry no screenies, I'm a retard >_<)
I finally got to the game.  It was fairly easy to move about, you just left click to move around.  It took me about a minute to figure out how to talk to an NPC though.  XD;;  You right click NPCs to talk to them.  The NPCs have brilliant voiceovers though.  Each voice suits the character.  Yes, they are also hilarious (sounding). 





One of the first things that struck me was the interface.  The interface can be wayyyy confusing.  There is no text to tell you what is what, so you have to rely on the picture.  Most are self explanatory.

You have a base level, and underneath, there are skill levels.  It is essentially easy to level.  I didn't really notice what level I was until I was about level 5.  XD



The Battle System is easy to grasp.  Just right click a monster and you start attacking it.  Very straight forwards.  Instead of killing monsters, you "knock them out" instead.  ... XD  How funny.

You can also have up to 3 pets.  Say hi to my "Sheep".





There is an incredible amount of customization, so it seems.  You can customize your character, farm, and house. 





I love my farm.  XD



Quests are well, quests.  XD



The world map looks awesome.  I can't wait to visit some of these towns/cities.











The mini games are well, mini games.  You can play by yourself, with your pet, or with other people.

While playing, I didn't feel like my IQ was dropping drastically.  It is a game aimed for all age groups and genders. 
All in all, this game reminds me of the Harvest Moon game, Rune Factory.
And I love it. XD

HKO is in Closed Beta until May 7th (I think ~_~;;;). The CB is unfortunately limited to a certain number of people. D: Open Beta should follow closely behind the end of the Closed Beta.
