Ether Saga Online Review

I’ve played many mmos in my life, and this is another to add to the played list. The game is based in China where you have to help out with quests and level up, like all mmos.

The Good

The difference of this game compared to your other favourite mmos is there strong pet system. Not only can you tame half of the monsters in the game, but you can also play as them, by transforming. Transforming into another monster gives you advantages towards some monsters and negative effects towards other monsters. The system also includes something like the three elements; fire, water and earth in the form of four things, when interacting with the monsters. To transform you need a item drop of a card of the monster you killed and also to the monster you can transform into. These are a bit rare, but you would get about one every 30 – 120 minutes. ( estimate )
The pet system and transforming options make this game worth playing.

The Bad

Some of the things that are not so good are; The community lacks presence, perhaps the world is a bit big, but you don’t see much players around that you can party with in what gives a good mmo experience.
Money is another problem in the game, its pretty hard to come by and especially nearly all items you pick up are worth the default of 1 bronze, the lowest unit of a item. There is poor pricing for this reason, and the items in the shop can be a few silver or even a gold, this is not “a lot” at all i guess but for a beginner its pretty insane to wanting to continue the game without easy funding. But funnily enough, the guy who did the pricing skipped a part of his job, but there is a another system of money (also the real money system e-cash), called treasure the treasure is rewarded through quests, they give you a lot of this, but you can’t trade this between players and its only usable to purchase a few things including pet food and hp/mp potions, in my opinion this is a pointless way in which it yet again restricts the player from the currency that matters. Music and sound can get a little annoying. Characters speak mandarin phrases, it would be nice if they translated this to English, the language of the game we are trying to play in. Pet and monster sounds are repetitive and have annoying sounds.

Ratings
Pet system: 5/5

Some real highs and some real lows. So the game rating is a 3.
