    Anyways, i can keep that up forever but still the game is pretty funny, but they just got A LOT to improve, and i repeat A LOT. I hope KOG can make use of this review to help their games if they plan to make another ones, or making Elsword a far better game than it is. Still, no matter how you look at Elsword, it's just a VERY mediocre and average RPG game.    … Expand

    Confusing menu's, wildly variable difficult, stiff movement and combat. After that you must pay money to customize your character's appearance. The game is interesting for about 20 minutes, then it is nothing but a money sink. But the story is fairly complex, so some may enjoy it for that.

    Just one word only. Stamina. This game has a stamina system like 99.99% of mobile games has.

    Elsword isn't the most polished game, but it does beat-em-up action quite well. Between the pets, the gear, the PVP, the costumes, and even the boss-rush modes, there's a good deal of content waiting to be plumbed by gamers that want a bit more action and skill from their MMOs. It's at least worth a look.

    An overall bad game that feels cheap in every part of it. When the matter comes to money it's a rip-off . Fun only in the first hour.
