    This game has potential - a really underexplored genre, but it is critically flawed because th game basically plays itself! Combat is monotonous, and you can actually have the game auto-fight for you for up to half and hour! No need to pay for expensive botting services, why not just get your own pc to do the playing for you! I'm disapointed. The game has some Korean screens This game has potential - a really underexplored genre, but it is critically flawed because th game basically plays itself!

The game has some Korean screens appearing now and then, and the translations are sometimes a bit funky. But if it was fun to play I'd be a fan. Sadly, not yet in this case.… Expand

    The novelty of playing 3 characters gets old rather quick, due to the stale gameplay based simply on mindless grinding in order to meet the requirements of a certain set of skills, item, or an incredibly expensive piece of clothing with a high level requirement that has no impact on gameplay whatsover. Brain-dead MMO hack/slash at its finest.

    It's like candy for your eyes. [Vol 3, Issue 2, p.56]

    This game offers a beautiful, highly stylized, world to explore, but sacrifices meaningful interaction.

    Even though the game is a bit rough around the edges, Sword of the New World: Granado Espada oozes with quirky personality that will appeal to fans of Asian-born titles, presenting a visual mash-up of anime and Baroque influences.
