Though graphically flashy and powerful feeling, combat in Lost Ark doesn’t get complicated beyond point, click, win. From what I’ve seen, they are merely damage sponges with multiple health bars to chew through. If there are mechanics involved in sussing out an enemy’s weakness, then using that to your advantage to win, I haven’t found it. Using a mouse to move will oftentimes face you in the wrong direction, making your attacks bounce harmlessly into space (and, thankfully, if click-to-move doesn’t work for you, Lost Ark has controller support). The most challenging aspect of Lost Ark’s combat is simply ensuring your abilities hit your enemies as intended. It’s equally fun to spin in a circle, pulverizing the enemies dumb enough to approach my whirlwind of death. It’s satisfying hitting a bunched-up group of trolls with a devasting sword blow, felling them all in a single hit. You’re given a number of abilities at the start that you can chain together to unleash some powerful combos, which are necessary in dungeons when enemies outnumber you 20-to-1. They felt weak and lacking an interesting “oomph,” so I created a new character, choosing a berserker warrior, and haven’t looked back since.Ĭombat feels pretty decent. Since I wanted to play as a lady, I chose the sorceress subclass of the mage job, but I really wasn’t fond of her abilities. Each class has a number of specialized subclasses that you must choose immediately after picking your primary class. If I want to play as a warrior, I have to play as a male, or if I want to play a mage, I’m locked into a female avatar. When you start the game, you pick your class before you get to the character customization, and I find it very strange that some classes in Lost Ark are gender locked. Lost Ark also correctly understands that there are more kinds of ethnic hairstyles than dreadlocks and afros however, it doesn’t have more than a couple styles for kinky-haired people like me. A rainbow color wheel ensures you can be more than just a couple of shades of Black, and there are tons of sliders to fiddle with to make your character look exactly as you want. I’m mostly satisfied with the character creator.
