Hello I am writing this review as a way to connect the dots about cabal online. I hear people on MMO sites saying that cabal online is a "WoW" clone. Well this is simply not true. Cabal online is not like any other mmorpgs I have played, and trust me on this because i have played almost every MMO i could find including "wow". Cabal online is a fantasy rpg with technological aspects (not Sci-Fi, don't get this confused). So without any further ado, here is my take and review of Cabal online.
1. Story Driven or Pure Grinding.
Cabal online is unique in this area, for a couple of reasons. Cabal is indeed a story driven mmorpg, and I say that in the fullest sense of the term. Cabal's story is not just the backstory type of thing most modern mmos have. Cabal's story is incredibly in depth. It makes you feel like the hero, not just some newbie poser. With every quest you do, you learn a little more about what is really going on. Old friends become enemy's, and enemy's reveal who they are really fighting for. Its like a good mystery movie, with twist and turns at every corner. That makes you want to play more and more to find out what will happen next. However some times you may have to grind, while in between quests. or maybe you will find yourself grinding just to better your character.
2. Classes.
cabal alz has 6 classes to chose from. They are:
Warrior- Warriors are the main fighter class who specialize in the use of heavy armor (Armorsuit) and huge 2 hand swords (Great sword or Dai Katana). With high hp, def, and physical strength, they are good at both PvP and PvE solo. But that does not make them the best class, though it makes them very good for new players or fans of 2 hand swords.
Blader- Bladers are the fastest (atk speed) melee characters. They use a combination of light yet maneuverable armor (Martialsuit) and 2 one hand swords (Blades or Katanas). Having light armor they have less "def" but way more of a dodge rate. They make great PvE and moderate PvP depending on how you train them. This makes them a wise class to pick if you really like PvE or duel wielding.
Wizard- Wizards are the basic magic class. They use what are called "orbs" which are used as magic amplifiers, and light armor (Martialsuit). Orbs attach to the the character's wrists, and the orb on the right wrist summons a staff (mostly to make them look like they use a weapon/ also the cool factor) later on in the game they have incredible (both look and power) magic attacks/skills some of which have huge AoE (area of effect). In PvP they can some times win untouched depending on a number of factors. Based on who uses them and how they train, wizards can destroy or just plain get they @$$'s kicked. usually good for both PvP and PvE.
