Mir4 Review—Ambitious Design, Mediocre Gameplay
I love a good ol’ historical tale any day. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m a massive fan of the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) genre.
One of the charms that video games enthral to me has always been the vivid combat experience. As the warrior works his blade, the assassin engages in a dance, leaping, and twisting in the air before thrusting himself back into the battle. Not before long when the archer plucks his bowstring with much grace and accuracy and sends it home with a spray of blood.
Much to my disappointment, Mir4 doesn’t seem to offer any of that sort you’d expect for something set in the Asian historical genre, albeit the Korean influence WeMade had included. Even so, it does fully support cross-platform on both PC and mobile.
Mir4 happens to be WeMade’s latest iteration of its MMORPG series that was launched on 25 Aug. There, you’ll first be acquainted with a not-so-comical Mushu.
Under his guidance, you’ll embark on an adventure with Master Sarmati and his other disciples. Rescuing Princess Cheonpa and unveiling the mysteries revolving around her special powers may eventually grow to become your chief motivation.
Building on DRACO
Cryptocurrency is a massive addition to the game. Although I have yet to unlock this feature, this is essentially a “play-to-earn” system. What this means is that you will be able to use in-game currency (100,000 Dark Steel) and craft them into crypto tokens as soon as you have reached Level 40. (So much farming that will make anyone feel sow good)
AI-Supported Gameplay
Sure, Mir4 may look absolutely fantastic on the screen, and what fine (absolutely drool-worthy) characters with flashy skills they have! However, that’s actually all there’s to it. Heck, even the storyline gets old pretty quick.
In my near-8 hours with the mobile version, I’ve even managed to squeeze in time to complete a large chunk of a series I have been catching. With experiences garnered from Mir2 and Mir3, players (including yours truly) have expected some form of active gameplay from the game.
Much to my dismay, I have discovered that Mir4 is built on an entirely auto-pilot system, setting it on a whole different spectrum from World of Warcraft. Well, what can I say? Since this game literally plays itself, it is hardly sufficient for one to come up with legit opinions…
In any case, if you’re looking for a game that literally plays itself, this might just be up your alley. Even though Mushu may disagree, you should take a gander at the game right here.
