Mu Online is a fast paced 2D MMMORPG. The game looks and feels like Diablo 2 (a great thing): everything from your inventory to the stat allocation screen will remind you of Diablo 2. The game has five classes, but only three are playable: Dark Knight, Dark Wizard, and Elf. If the developers had copied Diablo 2 a bit more, and added some additional features, the game would have been great, but the developers chose to exclude some much needed features like a map and a tutorial.

As soon as you make your character, you’ll have no idea where to go, as the game doesn’t start you on a quest or anything. If you choose to go wandering off and killing things, you’ll notice that you gain experience extremely fast, which is one of the most enjoyable aspects of Mu Online. After grinding for a bit, you’ll want to return to town to purchase potions, but good luck finding your way back, because you have no map, and unfortunately, The easiest way to get back to town is to die. I really cannot emphasize how aggravating is is to try and head back to town after a good grind session, as the terrain looks similar no matter where you. There’s no reason that the developers couldn’t have added a map.

Another drawback to Mu Online is the dull and uninspiring music and lack of character customization. One redeeming feature of Mu Online is the open PvP. You can pretty much kill anyone anywhere outside town, adding another layer of game play to the game. Overall, if you can look past the dated graphics and lack of a map, Mu Online is still a fun game to try out.
