This is an honest review based on my experiences in 2Moons, having played it since launch and leveling well into the 100s.
2Moons is a "free to play" game (with optional cash shop) distributed by Acclaim Games. 2Moons is the North American version of Dekaron, a Korean game developed by GameHi, which also has a version released for Europe. This game has been out for a year and has recently had a major content update ("Action 4") from Dekaron known as "Expedition" in 2Moons.
Want to be a Bad-Ass?
What attracts most people to 2Moons is usually when they see the awesome looking character models with their glowing armor and when they see footage from the game. Simply put, the characters in this game look bad-ass. The armor has a unique-look unlike most MMOs out there. It is a "fantasy" setting, and there are swords and armor, no guns or anything sci-fi, but it has a distinctly different look and feel than the "medieval", Tolkein-esque games like World of Warcraft. There is an Asian influence, but it isn't anime, it's a look unique to itself. There is kind of a "demonic" theme, and two of the classes you can play are demons. Thereare many times playing this game where I was motivated to level just to get the incredible looking gear that you can get 2moons dil as you progress.
Another great thing about this game is the impressive looking skills. The skill animations are awesome, flashy and really make you feel powerful. Not only do they look cool, but the whole feel of combat is faster-paced in this game. Skills do have cool-downs and combat will be comfortable for those who are MMO veterans, but what makes the skills in 2Moons unique is that they are mostly instant-cast or very close to it. This makes combat closer to real-time, and it makes combat more interesting than pressing a button and waiting 3 seconds before anything happens. Every player gets area of effect damage skills (AoE's), making every class a damage-dealing class, which clearly distinguishes this game from any other. The combat is slow and pedestrian like any other MMO in the beginning when you have only one offensive skil to start with, but it picks up provided you have a little patience. By the time you pick up 4-5 damage skills (including an AoE or two), you will really get the feel of what combat in this game is about.
