Anyone play this?

I tried it for a few hours today and it was pretty fun.

The Art style is by the guy who made

It's like co-op Zelda mixed with a mmo.

I've made a Minegarde Guild, pm me if you wanna join. We get a private guild hall and stuff.

I've only played for about 10 minutes but this is a really impressive game! I'd totally love to play with some Minegarde people

EDIT: Yeah, this game is tons of fun. Definitely inspired by Zelda and the like.
Great Old-school music and all that too.

My Character name is Ashbrooke.

Send me a friend invite and I'll send you a guild invite.

[Xero]

Looks cool. Free to play? I only gave it a quick glimpse cause I had to go to work. Any classes?

[Minority]

i personally am quite disappointed by the eccentric mix of medieval and futuristic themes, that's a big turn-off for me.
if it was medieval/fantasy only i'd probably be all over it.

such a shame.

Free to play, but you can buy extra "energy" that gives you some extra time in dungeons. There's no classes, but you buy your character armor and weapons and make a build that way.

[Halcyon Dtier]

Yeah as Flax said it's free to play to a point.

Your "mist tank" can hold 100 energy and takes 22 hrs to fully recharge.
Each dungeon level you enter costs you 10 energy and stuff like crafting also uses energy.

So you could play it and pay nothing and only do a bit each day.

I did buy some energy for a few bucks and sold a bunch of it for money( through a in-game market system)to buy
some new weapons etc.

Just made an account, you really burn through that energy fast though. I also sent a friend request for the guild thing.

Yeah you can buy it up with in-game currency as well if you need to.

I was in the Preview Event for some time. It's fun, but the Energy Costs for everything makes you go insane. Even if you manage your Crowns well, it will still bite you in the ass, especially as the In-Game price rises. The Preview Event had it at about 5000 Crowns per 100CE average, but it was almost 10k at one point which made it nearly impossible to effectively manage money unless you were able to manipulate the Market, which is boring in my opinion.

They were supposed to optimize the system and change costs for a few things, and they never did, which is highly disappointing.

Take out the Energy system problems and the game is a load of fun.

When I sold my energy for Crowns it was only 2.5 for every 100 energy
then the other day it was 3k. So it looks like the market is going up and down a bit.

Must be due to time of day and weekends maybe? I'm sure prime time on a Sunday in America
would have the price pretty high for energy buying.

The game looks like it makes all its money on micro-payments so I doubt
they will ever remove the payment options. It's really not too expensive, I think if you spent maybe
$20 and got some decent items etc you could be doing Tier 2-3 stuff and be making enough cash
too buy energy etc.

I'll add people to the guild when I log on tonight.

[Flaxfire]

Wow, this game really requires some coordination once you get down to the lower depths.
I was with a group of random Knights and we wandered off onto the "Dangerous" path that promises extra rewards if you come out alive. We basically ended up fighting swarm after swarm of gremlins. They managed to break up our group and defeat us all individually. Crazy stuff...

It didn't help that they had a group of healers hiding behind a spike pit

I'm pretty sure that the studio that makes it is based in San Francisco... Not sure whats going on with your browser.

I want to say that it will store in your browser cache, but if it's taking an hour then it's probably smarter to just download it.

i dl'ed the client its very lightweight.. i can't believe this was made with java :3

anyway, i sent a friend request to halcyon.. add me to the guild

this is a fun game XD

[sunfish123]

indeed, materials are a little hard to find early on but once you find them its pretty beast.

[juicy]

i like the flexibility of switching weapons on the fly

i finally have an autogun! its great against slimes... but not so much against the gremlins >_<
