My character’s eyepatch would randomly disappear during certain conversations and cutscenes (thus eliminating my imaginary backstory that Bojangles had lost an eye in a tragic billiards accident), the voice acting was pretty horrendous in spots (especially for filler dialogue), and the animation often looked rough. It only took a few minutes to realize that Skyforge isn’t the most heavily polished game in the world.

It’s certainly not as deep as Devil May Cry, but the action was fast and fun.

My character, the mighty warrior Bojangles, quickly had a bunch of different combos to unleash against the foes I’d come across in each level, and was able to dash away in order to avoid attacks. This is a far cry from other MMOs (and even JRPGs) where I barely paid attention during most fights. This change is a smart one, as the active combat system made sure I always participated in battles. Upon choosing the powerful Paladin class (the other two classes available at the beginning are the highly damaging Cryomancer and the support role of Lightbinder), I was able to chain together attacks into different combos by mashing together square and triangle. Here it’s different, as the combat is modeled after a character action game. Most games in the genre have players attacking automatically, thus letting the player focus on deploying skills and managing cooldown meters.

The one major thing that differentiates Skyforge from most other MMOs is how the game handles combat.
