Review

One of the first things you’ll realize about Mabingo is how silly the characters look, but don’t let that stop you from playing this unique game. The second thing you’ll notice is that you can actually decide what age your character begins at. The older your character, the more stats he begins with, but the less time he has to grow in the game. Because of this, I highly recommend you ignore the game’s advice and start at the youngest possible age. Mabinogi feels like an entirely unique MMORPG experience as the game utilizes a skill based system rather than a class system, so your character isn’t “stuck” being a single class and can be developed the way you like.

As long as you do all the quests you receive you will level rapidly and soon catch up in strength with the older players. The upbeat atmosphere will keep you interested, and the User Interface is very manageable. Mabinogi has a unique dungeon instancing feature [Think WoW] where you can sacrifice an item at an alter in order to generate a dungeon for your party to crawl through. The more powerful and expensive the item you sacrifice, the harder and more rewarding the dungeon will be. Sacrificing junk items generates easy and less rewarding dungeons.

As mentioned, every real-life week will age your character by one game year and your stats will grow. Once your character becomes elderly you can revert to a kid again and keep your progress, however this process is very tedious and time consuming unless you use a cash shop item to speed it up. Mabinogi’s character progression is driven much more by skills than leveling which is a welcomed change, as using skills will improve their rank and increase your stats.

If you want to get the most out of Mabinogi, it’s recommended that you try some of the the cool bonus features like the music system. Mabinogi allows you to buy instruments and compose your own music. Walking through town and hearing familiar tunes from Zelda and Final Fantasy always brings a smile to my face. Unfortunately, Mabinogi handles combat rather poorly. Combat is slow and feels broken, as your character rolls around all over the place while fighting. Skills seem to work at random and as with any MMO, attaining higher levels involve lots of grinding.

Review

I would love this game if I could play it. I live in euroupe. I read on forums that it might not come here since it would offened Welsh Culture that the game is based on.

Pretty accurate review till the end..."Unfortunately, Mabinogi handles combat rather poorly. Combat is slow and feels broken, as your character rolls around all over the place while fighting. Skills seem to work at random and as with any MMO, attaining higher levels involve lots of grinding." This is practically all lies, the combat system allows you to not have to roll everywhere if you actually know how to use it. Besides, i hardly ever grind, the dungeons offer diversity to training. I think the only time i ever had to grind was to get one single ap to rank WM. Play the game more before you fail at a review.

but still you need to buy some cash shop item to create another character right! so the inventory item still in need of cash shop the only problem here you cannot sell some stuff to other players without depending to cash shop!

893kira, on October 3rd 2009 12:32 pm

You don't NEED to use the cash shop at all. I don't and it's still a awesome game. for the inventory problem, I just make more characters to hold my items and stuff. Some cash shop items you can buy from other players. Things that used to require are now free to everyone e.g. spirit weapons, generation storylines, transformations.

The only problem in this game is the cash shop. Characters here are to dependent to the cash shop like the extra inventory bag should be accessible for free and many items that is so useful for the players.

I disagree with the combat system being poorly made, if you actually learn which skill can counter another skill you can utilize the system much more then just mashing random skills. (it's even in the tutorial...) P.S MABI OWNNZZZZ!!!!!!

err , is the worst review of mabinogi for do a review u need at last know the real feactures and how works , example "Mabinogi has a unique dungeon instancing feature [Think WoW] where you can sacrifice an item at an alter in order to generate a dungeon for your party to crawl through. The more powerful and expensive the item you sacrifice....etc wrong... u review fail

axe / alexina server, on May 7th 2009 08:52 am

I will have to disagree about the combat system and do a little update too. 1) The update: Many cash shop features are now Free. 2) Combat System: The combat system is indeed slow pace but is far from being broken. Mabinogi use a unique "Rock-Paper-Scissor" gameplay which adds a really challenging aspect to the game. For exemple: Normal Attack

Any item can make a dungeon of equal difficulty/reward. The higher level passes which are recieved in dungeons allow you to access the more difficult dungeons (IE: Ciar Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced dungeons)
