Dragon Oath is a Massively Multiplayer Online Game set in ancient China during the time of the Song Dynasty in 960 AD. The main storyline of Dragon Oath is based upon the mythology of the eight races of non-human deities described in Buddhist cosmology. According to Buddhism, these Demi-Gods exist on a higher plane of existence than mortals, and yet they are still bound by their passions and desires to the Samsara, the cycle of reincarnation. While the Demi-Gods themselves are not the primary focus in the game, the story's main characters are modeled after the deity races, exhibiting many of their qualities, both divine and mortal. Dragon Oath allows players to engage themselves in ancient Chinese lore and take part in captivating quests that tell the tale of warriors and diplomats from this time period. Dragon Oath has a large emphasis on teamwork and community within its gameplay mechanics. Marriage, guilds, and blood relation play a huge role in the overall experience of the game.
The game is a martial art MMO, and the combat is good, like others.However, where the gameplay falls is in poor design choices that made me quit the game after 2 hours playing it.
One example is the camera, which can't really be moved much, as the game mostly controls it for you. This is ridiculous for Dragon Oath Gold, where stuff can happen all over the place around you, so there will always be something happening outside the camera's view, which you won't be able to see.
Also, the game is filled with bad translations. In fact, the website itself is filled with bad translations. While I can ignore this, they really don't make the experience any better, and if anything, detract from your immersion in the game, and makes the thing seem more unprofessional.
