    Idk about this game fr I only know about it from GMOD's Vindictus Bosses addons, so pretty much all I know asides that is that it is an average MMO with so-called "waifus"

    Criminally underrated. Glad my brother introduced me to the game when I was still a kid.
    Even if it's not the "perfect" video game, it will always have a place in my heart with the memories I made.

    Worst devs ever. This game has a stamina system now and thousands of bugs has not been fixed since the game came out. There are even more bugs than years before. I have even got banned for cheating but I've never use cheats. They didn't even check if the ban is legit or not. Allot of people got false banned. Nexon is the worst of all. Even worse than Bethesda.

    I've spent a lot of time in the game. It was even my first game where I've invested real money. Then came the bann wave where people got banned for no reason and you where called a hacker no matter what. At that time I just could not believe that so many people would hack in the game until it hit me too.

Then came the bann wave where people got banned for no reason and you where called a hacker no matter what. At that time I just could not believe that so many people would hack in the game until it hit me too. I had taken a break of about 2 weeks to collect AP ( Ability Points for lvling up skills ) through meditation. Then I logged in with Fiona at that time and BAM a window poped up with the message ( Hack detected ) and that was it. Without proof, etc., all the work and money just went away. Years later and here I am.

    Per:
    1. Fast combat system (If it it's not lagging)
    2. Pretty nice graphics although the game is kinda old
    3. Best skill system I've ever seen. Except Sphere board as in POE but to reskill is a pain in POE.
    3. Many things have been improved, such as looting or balancing till lvl 85.
    4. Auction house is still available
    5. Many chars with many skills
    6. Many equipments, could wish me more
    7. AP Schop where you can buy some real money stuff like Avatar with AP which I find very nice. (VIP, unfortunately, is only available once)
    8. Guild finally has guild skills
    9. Funny bugs like grabbing a huge barrel with animation of grabbing a small item

    Cons:
    1. The games name should be LAGdictus. The game is so old it doesn't take any performance but the lag and fps drops are really huge. Screen freezes for about 3 seconds and longer. After each fight you have a screen freeze. Such an old game where the lags have not been fixed and it looks like they NEVER will. 100k. DSL as well as a Gamer PC and still lagging like hell.

    2. Extremely heavy buggy. By far more than the game was years ago and the old bugs are still in the game. Nexon seems not to care about fixing bugs.

    Items drop out of the map so you wont be able to pick them up, happens all the time.

    Opponents are often not hitable even though he got hit by a skill.

    There are even korean letters in the game.

    Mine bombs that often have no effect although they explode right next to the vein.

    Dungeons have a story marker that does not go away even after 2 days of full play because the quest is actually in another dungeon. This happens in quite a few quests. Many quests are not even listed under M so you have to walk through the cities to collect them as you used to.

    As well as many other bugs like players you can't see even though they are right in front of you. Noticed it when a friend of mine has played with me from lvl 1.

    Also there is no notification about the gold amount you pick up in the chat. So you never know how much gold you are actually collecting which personally bothers me very much. You can see how much gold is on the floor by pressing ALT but that's more than annoying to do so.

    Especially pressing F12 to get into the next room. On the Launcher version it works good but not on Steam because F12 is SCREENSHOT button and change the button brings nothing because the button wont even work then.

    3. Most items are having an expiration date so you have to struggle with the char who is having such items. As soon as you log in with another char that also has such items in the mail BAM will be activated IMMEDIATELY and you have 7 days to use them. Extremely annoying.

    4. You now have millions of items that have an advantage but NOT if you have to pay real money for the storage compartments to be able to stow all the garbage. You do not have a proper stash account which you can just say how things can be stowed away like in POE or Diablo 3. Since you do not even know what items you might still need and which not. Although there is 1 perma storage free, but this is not enough. Would not be so bad if the prices were not astronomical high.

    5. Performance / Optimization of the game is the worst. It is hard to find a game that has such a poor performance as LagDictus. But still makes a lot of fun if only the lag would not be the case.

    6. Balancing is from lvl 85 just a joke. Complete Equip with +6 and you go in 1-2 hits on most bosses down even though you've already maxed out the defense Skills. It's just pure frustration, especially if you have permanent screen freezes and can not even do something to avoid getting hit.

    7. Chat system is a horror. I recognize by my bad eyes hardly anything written in the chat because the transparency is simply barely present. It also has a dark setting, but that is by far not enough. There would have a use of a slider to fully darken the background of the chat window but there isn't.
    8. Gear can be destroyed while enhancing your stuff. If it fails, and get's destroyed at +13 or so, then you lose allot. This mechanic is the worst of all a game can have.

    9. AP Shop is a good idea but you can buy VIP ticked only once and most of the other items too.

    10. You have to buy char slots to have more chars. A no totall go and ripp off

    I loved the game, I really did. But after a year went by and I hit literal end game with cap stats and ran basically everything the game had to offer, maybe I'm burnt out. Beginning to feel unsatisfied. The combat is my all time favorite. The outfitters come a close 2nd.

    However lately, whoever is running the shots at nexon is killing the player base with the new stuff coming out.    I loved the game, I really did.

    However lately, whoever is running the shots at nexon is killing the player base with the new stuff coming out. Basically it'll be more difficult for newer players to get into the game, even with its already dying population. The sales that they push out has zero logic whatsoever and honestly leaves a lot of the people that still keep the game alive unsatisfied. Literally they're walking backwards in every direction in order to make this game better as a whole, from f2p to p2p. Trying to say all this without spoilers.
    Vindictus community is collectively one of the worst. If you ask questions and you try to get genuine answers most people answer satirically or they troll you. It's quite annoying when you're trying to get help or you're yourself just trying to help a friend.

    While the graphics are great for a pretty old game, the optimization is just non-existent. If you want to run anything relative to raids or certain missions, you'll need a person with a good pc and internet connection to host. They're getting more difficult to find since the game has a critically low population.

    From my perspective, the publishers do not care to listen to their player base's concerns or dissatisfaction. The original Korean developers only really care about the input of their Korean players. The publishers push out sales that leave myself and my friends outraged(I'm talking about the people who spend mad bank and credit card swipe like no tomorrow) If you think those people don't matter than why do you play this free to play game? :^) While we try to get our voices heard it doesn't really seem to be working and all efforts is just futile. A lot of the complaints put in feels like a general response of, "Oh well, sucks to suck."

    For the f2p peoples. It's considerably really difficult to get gear when starting from nothing. If you don't have friends to help you out, it'll be a long hell hole of a haul. If you want to get started, you'll need to put forth real cash some way or another. Whether it be getting megas to find guilds or people to help you for your missions or trying to get scrolls on gear. It's doable without actual money. Just spend 4-8 hours every day or every few days for a decent progression into raids and missions....that's...IF you can find any boats up.
    Orr ORRRRR you can avoid the game completely and save yourself the rage and trouble. :)    … Expand

    I tried to enjoy Vindictus. Honestly I'm not sure there's anything wrong with it, mechanically. There's a diverse range of classes, lots of enemies to beat up, nice artwork, amusing physics. I just found it very boring. It made me want to play a cooperative Devil May Cry, but no such thing exists. The individual levels are very samey, the music is forgettable. The weapons are cool, though.I tried to enjoy Vindictus. Honestly I'm not sure there's anything wrong with it, mechanically.

    Vindictus is a game that gets no justice, A burden unsurprising for a character action game, which are infamous as a genre consistently failing to capture mainstream attention.

People come to Vindictus expecting something it never claimed to be, and the feedback as a result is poor. These people seem to come to the game looking for a standard MMO experience (something never advertised or implied) and get upset when they do not receive it. If you want to spend hours crossing a vast wasteland full of aggressive monsters who can only hit you if they pass a random number check, do not play this game, and certainly do not review it when youre done and complain about things it never set out to do. Vindictus is an online character action game, you do not play classes, you play characters, you do not tab target, you aim, you do not use dps rotations, you adapt your attacks to the situation. If you like bayonetta, god of war, or devil may cry, do indeed try this game, but if you like WoW, Runescape, or Guild Wars, and you cannot accept a game doing something different, do not play this, and do not review this

    For those who do want an online character action experience, Youll find no better, often youll see people claiming the game has no variety, but an honest person could tell you that each area of the game takes up maybe an hour an hour or two of your time, before giving you a new place to play in. You do revisit older areas, but only in theme, For example, there are two areas to the ruins, one with 9 levels to complete (where you slowly progress through the ruins) and one, which comes later in the game, which has 8 levels. There is additional time you return to a similar area, but is not technically related, which holds another 9, in these cases, enemies are changed, traps are changed, new areas are added, and no boss is repeated. Even in the case of the first area of the game, when the area boss returns as a raid, he has a different moveset to freshen things up. Despite the seldom reuse of these areas in the game, people will tell you the game lacks variety, I have to wonder if those same people would spend the same three hours in another MMO's forest ruins environment, only instead of fighting new enemies in each level, they are just grinding the same things. Variety in Vindictus, like any other character action game, is less about visuals, and more about mechanics, People can complain all they want that gnolls, despite being in a war with you, show up too often at the start of the game, but only if the gnolls fail to ever shake things up, which they certainly do.

    Some people also claim the game is grindy, which is flat out untrue, The game is not designed for you to gain experience from killing mobs, it goes out of its way to encourage players to do quests for exp, but since again, these players are coming in expecting the typical MMO, they decide to grind instead, and dismiss the game as a result before going off to tell people who grindy it is. I have one of every single character released to date, which means Ive leveled 9 characters, so I feel its safe to trust me when I tell you that you can reach the soft level cap in a couple weeks of playing casually, level 30 (of 90) is achieved in just an hour or two for most people, and there are frequent contests with new characters to max out their level, which people complete in a matter of days.

    A final clarification I feel the need to make is on the idea of "pay to win", people have this reflexive (and unfounded) attitude that if any game is published by nexon, no matter what, its pay to win. This is baffling because as I recall there were only ever two games from them that had such problems, and those problems were eventually removed. In the case of vindictus, pay to win is impossible. The game is largely PvE, and only one of the 4 pvp modes could be affected by your gear, so the idea is silly to begin with. Anyone who claims the game is pay to win is simply ignorant, they do not understand how the pvp works, they do not understand how the pve works, they do not understand how stats work, and they do not understand how cash items work. Yes, you are able to buy costumes for 30 dollars a piece which will give you stats, but in addition to the stats being negligible, there are free sets for you to acquire, none of that really matters though because stats mean nothing in Vindictus and I prove that every day I play.    … Expand

    At first glance it seems like a good game, and for a while it's newish and fun; but then you find out you've wasted a lot of time on a game that tries to be interesting long enough for you to feel you've put to much time into it to quit. I played the game long enough to get to level 76 and still can't say there was ever a time I felt good about playing.

    All the dungeons are copy/paste,    At first glance it seems like a good game, and for a while it's newish and fun; but then you find out you've wasted a lot of time on a game that tries to be interesting long enough for you to feel you've put to much time into it to quit. I played the game long enough to get to level 76 and still can't say there was ever a time I felt good about playing.

    All the dungeons are copy/paste, the skills are all the same, the characters are shallow, the story line is boring, the game is glitchy, the breakable environment tends to fall on you stunning you so a boss can one shot you, if you try to use a health potion it instantly puts the boss in aggro mode on you and he stops you (unless you pay real $ for special potions), if you try to revive someone the boss will instantly aggro you and stop you (unless you pay real $ for special revives), the crafting system is only a money drain and you will never get as much out of it as you put into it, the way to improve items is only possible for bots (unless you pay real $ to get special runes to take the risk away you'll only need about 12 at $5 per), drops in the game are rare even for commons making this the perfect game for bots which now outnumber people, the graphics are nice but glitch out with a lot of different effects (sticking you in walls, jerking you around, putting everything in slow motion, freezing you in place, pausing you while all the enemies glitch to you and hit you at the same time, and many many more), and despite this being a long list it doesn't even scratch to surface of all that is wrong with this game.

    O and a thing you should Always do before starting a game is go to their forum page and see how easy it is to talk to a moderator or tech. In this game the forum has appointed "volunteers" which is 100% idiots dumb enough to work for free to be the buffer so no one who receives a paycheck ever has to deal with any customers. They are nothing more than handlers with no ability to fix or do anything. They just close threads and try to wast your time till you lose interest.

    Bottom line, it's a game designed to look good long enough to get you to pay money then be so bad you give up playing to make server space for the next batch of chumps willing to pay. All you will ever find is a group of die hard lvl 90'S and newbs. The game is not worth even a minute of time.    … Expand

The decent GMs left Vindictus and the current ones are just... horrible. Their attitude towards the game and the players doesn't help the game. As I played over the years the devs always gave players option for more and more skimpy outfits, (see: Iset avatar set and Succubus avatar set) and never bothered with bugs and glitches. New content is slapped up in a hurry and not all the bugs and glitches are fixed thus Vindictus is a bugfest. The grinding system, the stupid RNG, the ridiculous drop rates and the market (which is broken with nearly every event they come up with) makes playing Vindictus feel like a chore. There is nothing left in the game. And the future looks ever worse, since they will take the challenge out of the equation as well. Current end-game gear and skills is ridiculously overpowered and mobs, bosses and raid bosses stand no chance against a fully equipped 2 man party. Pretty much everyone can solo any raid = raid looses it's purpose. They managed to come up with an amazing idea and reduce it to a big pile of nothing.… Expand

It is very and I say VERY boring... really straight forward game, nothing revolutionary about it. I heard combat was awesome, but its actually very simple, its basically Terra combat, except Terra combat is way better (I'm not a Terra fanboy, played it for a couple months). Quests are boring, no standalone quest NPCs, you enter a building and its just static flat character models and a dialog box, with tabs of character faces to choose who you want to talk to. no open world exploring, you leave town to a secondary town area with a "mission board" bring up a map with "dungeons" and every time you get a quest, you choose the dungeon where the quest is, select the quest (mission) and you run through that dungeon to do said quest. You can only do one quest at a time, and each quest is just a repeat run of the same dungeon over and over, the quests only influence what quest item drop you get from cloned run. Also character design is very limited, unless you want to pay. If I wanted my character to have a 2 permanent scars on his face it would have cost me $10... ridiculous.

    It is a massive grindfest throughout. Level 1-85 is just crawling boring repetitive dungeons and there is no replay value at all. Endgame content is repeating the same 12 raids every day and then farming the same 2 dungeons and repetitive dailies for gold and titles. Speaking of gold, this game is overrun with an inflamed economy caused by the people who sell NX (cash shop money) and the reason why these people make so much gold is because you basically cannot advance even CLOSE to endgame equipment without having NX. The server has been absolute GARBAGE since December 2014 and it's currently June 2015 and they still haven't fixed it. Everything is laggy for everyone. Wanna start a dungeon? Loading circle thingy appears on the screen for 10 minutes before the loading screen even appears. Wanna beat the dungeon? Kill the boss and the game lags for 10 minutes (for everyone in the dungeon) until the reward screen pops up. Wanna talk to people? Too bad, there is 30 second up to 2 minute chat delay for everyone. Talk to NPC's? Nope, they're laggy too. Level up skills or open loot boxes? Don't kid yourself. This entire game is completely **** because of the idiot company in charge of it: Nexon. They give literally 0 ****s for their playerbase by making this game entirely pay2fun, they don't communicate with the community when there is a problem *cough* people not receiving rewards for an event until 1 month after *cough*. Also note that every event that they have ever ran for this game required you to pay real money in order to participate in most of it.

    Also, before you think "how is this game pay2fun/pay2win?" I'll answer that for you.
    1. $32 outfits in the cash shop that give you significant stat boosts
    2. RNG based equipment upgrading system that explodes your weapon FOREVER if it fails to enhance/enchant which is completely bypassed by runes that cost between $4 and $20 each
    3. Your character is hideous because of the inner armor they wear interfering with your gear's colour scheme and overall style so you basically MUST buy a $9 inner armor just so you don't have a disgusting white undergarment showing in all of your outfits
    4. Low skilled players can basically solo any endgame dungeon by spamming Merc Potions which restore ridiculous amounts of health, can be spammed as much as you want, and can be used while running or fighting. Oh, did I mention? They cost real money or ridiculous amounts of AP.
    5. Speaking of AP, unless you AFK for 4 years or grind dailies every day for months, don't count on your character having max upgraded spells... Unless you pay $4 for 1000 AP capsules and max out all of your spells in 1 expensive transaction
    6. Money. You want it? Sell NX or prepare for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG ride of being screwed over by RNG drops of ultra rare items that cost millions of gold and you need dozens of to complete your endgame set.

    And yeah, a lot of these issues will be resolved for CURRENT content when Season 3 comes out, but watch how we have to go through all of that bull**** again for the level 85-90 gear.

    What's my credibility with this rating? I have thousands of hours in this game, full level 80-85 perfectly enchanted +10-+12 equipment (yes, even Pirate Earrings).    … Expand

    Vindictus does not get everything right but what it gets extremely right is that it is fun to play. Lots of games look good, feel good and perform good but forget to put the fun in.

My favorite so far is Karok. What I like about it is how aggressive I can be with this character and how simple and easy it is to control. The attack combos are launched via a sequence of mouse clicks. That may sound difficult and limiting but it is NOT. It is easy and there are so many combos that can be launched. My favorite is Mammoth Swing. Give this game a try. It is free to play and of course that means you will pay for things in-game, but you can easily play to level 40 without spending a penny. Have fun!… Expand

    You can read all reviews here but I am just gonna tell you it's a good game. I played many games since 2010 and this is still the only game I keep playing.

    This game is simply amazing!!! The graphics are beautiful and the combat is SO fast paced! I love following the story line and getting XP To advance! It is fun to play and even more fun to play with friends! The only downside is that mostly all players are Level 80 So "Colhen" is full of traders.

    The game got lagless physical collisions by making those client side. You can fish together by throwing hooks at big fish, pull around monsters with all kinds of tools and get an extra drop when you for example hit a vampire boss with your spear. There are traps. Cash items are almost only visual / for upping exp gain and for carrying more items, if nothing changed after these    (Nexon EU)

    Even though the game is really nice made, and the graphic are very nicely done. The game it self is just.. Boring. There is no skills, this is a game where the combo of mouse clicking in the right time matters.
    And the only way to level up or even play is through dungeons. There is no free world to explore.

    Vindictus is a game type that i thoroughly enjoy. I used to play Rakion, which was the original game using this style of gameplay and it was probably my favorite game ever until they implemented the cash store which skewed the level of gameplay too far. Vindictus is a much different game although the same playstyle as Rakion. If you can get past the clunky UI and graphics, the game isVindictus is a game type that i thoroughly enjoy.

    They do not respect the user, they don’t even tell you what country/regions are allowed to play at all... You only figure it out (that you can’t play it at all) after downloading 15gb (including updates), many unsuccessful login attempts and searching on the forums for other user’s comments, cause the staff doesn’t do that either.

    The game is awesome, but the coding is far less awesome. I just tried to play it and the first thing was a resolution error that crashed the game before I got it. I managed to fix the resolution and then Microsoft Security Essentials went nuts and crashed the game then froze my entire PC. Restarted and ran the game and it froze my entire PC again when it got to the loading bar screen.The game is awesome, but the coding is far less awesome.

    Amazing content and gameplay, skill is a major factor and adding one of the best graphics out makes Vindictus truly one of the best Free to play MMO's in the market. However, a terrible company and management system downplays the North American server's potential.

    You might like this game for its detailed characters, over the top weapons and combat animations worthy of a Japanese action game. Unfortunately all the advantages are buried under thick layer of typical hack'n'slash routine. [February 2012, p.59]

    Your long-term attachment to the game will also be determined by how much of an experience grind you're prepared to undertake (combined with your attitude towards impermanent purchases), and whether the hack-and-slash combat against somewhat repetitive character models is a meaty enough adventure to keep you satisfied.

    High production values and original gameplay combine to make Vindictus one of the most interesting MMOGs to launch in several years.
