A friend introduced me to a game called S4 League. The game is a MMO developed by GameOn Studios. It was released in Korea in 2007 and moved to the Euro/NA servers in 2008. The game is quite simple compared to the other games I have played. The game is a third person arena. You control your own character and work either as a team to defeat the other team or play alone. The game is pure arena meaning there are no missions/quests. Because it is a PvP game there are many different modes. Some example of the modes they have are Touchdown, Seize, Deathmatch, Battle Royal, and Chaser. Each mode is unique because there are different objectives in order to beat the other team. In Seize, the concept is to capture a “base” and defend from the other team. Points are gained over time as you hold the base or you take one over.
The gameplay itself is not too difficult. There are few keys to work with. As I played this the game usually includes lots of spamming attacks. This makes the game easy yet hard to play. There is some skill required. Another thing I found out when I played this game was that the 'GameGuard' for this game is really loose. There are hackers in a majority of the games I played. The hacks could include infinite HP to 1 hit KO's. The matches can be intense at times and fast paced at times since it is a PvP.
Aside from the gameplay, the customization of the game lacks detail. The character creation is very short and there are very little combinations so my players look similar in game. Along with the customization, the item/shop system also needs improvement. First, there are not much items in the shop. I do not know if you get more options as you level/rank up higher, but the “start out” items are lacking. The items in shop are also timed. After purchase the item will only last for short amount of time. You can buy permanent items, but it cost real money. The stats of the items that cost real money are more superior to the ones that are time limited and use in-game money. This system sort of forces the player to use real money on the game. There is a lottery system where “unique” items can be obtained.
A confusing aspect of the game is the rank system. It seems like it is for prestige, but I am not sure if you acquire more skills or more item choices or whatever. Over all the game has a nice anime artistic design to it. It is a fun game to play and I do like the idea of a pure PvP arena game. It is competitive, but can get frustrating. There are many parts of the game that, in my opinion, don't work as well as it could. It was a fun game that I may play some other time, but the chances of me playing it a lot is not high. I do recommend the game however.
