Things start off simply enough, with only skeleton soldiers that are easily grouped up and dispatched. You can move on when you defeat all the enemies in that section, the final usually containing a boss or mini-boss. Each level is split up into sections, with a mob of enemies spawning in each section. Some challenge side-quests ask you to go through the same level and achieve at least a certain rank at the end. These ultimately affect your ranking at the end of a level, and getting hit will count against this ranking. The longer and more intense your combos are, the more you build up style points. This plays into one of the ways that Rusty Hearts ranks you after a level. With Angela, for example, after the third attack with my sword, I could quickly hit the hotkey to cast the Firewall spell - which knocks nearby enemies into the air - and continue to juggle them after, or follow up with another skill. Each character can unlock the use of a second weapon type when they reach a specified level, and these weapons will change up how the character attacks both normally and when using their skills. The characters’ skills can be used to help control crowds and extend the length of an attack combo string. Her skills mainly lay in magical and elemental attacks. Angela was the character I spent the most time using. Angela is much slower - wielding a large magic sword - but her range is superior, even if her combo is shorter. Tude had a much lower attack range than Frantz, but had more attacks to his normal combo, and was a lot faster. Frantz seemed to be a medium speed attacker with medium range. The game had three characters to choose from: Frantz, Tude, and Angela. Even when set to the lowest, the visuals still manage to hold up like a mid-era PlayStation 2 release. The graphical fidelity is impressive, boasting nice shadowing and particle effects on the characters and environments. Characters are intricately detailed they emote and animate smoothly and expressively. There’s a definitive Victorian-fantasy-era European look and feel to the town. The world is fully realized with a strong and unifying aesthetic. To start off, I was really blown away by the graphics. Recently, I got to check out Perfect World Entertainment’s upcoming free-to-play hack ‘n slash MMORPG Rusty Hearts, and was pleasantly surprised by what I found. Some of the more popular genres to enter this realm have been the beat-’em-up and hack ‘n slash, with such titles as Dungeon Fighter Online and Vindictus paving the way. The free-to-play massively multiplayer online game market has been flooded in recent times with games spanning different genres.
