Rise Of The Pirates


Rise Of The Pirates
Pirates! Marines, Bounty hunters?! Join the super powered adventure! 
Rise Of The Pirates is another 2D game published through Byond. This game based on loosely based on the Anime/Manga named "One Piece". The game puts player into the world of One Piece, traveling town to town, over seas, the game is pretty big for a 2D game. You soon find out you've survived a terrible ship crash and have been taken in by a small village. This is pretty much your starter or tutorial area. Players follow a series of quest that have you killing things like boars, bandits and pirates. Players can be whatever they want in the world, Pirate, Marine or even a Bounty Hunter. There is a ton of customization for character, you can be an Archer, Gunslinger, Slingshot-er, or wield 3 swords like Zoro if you want. All devil fruits are in the game, you can be a Archer with Ace's fruit, or a Swordsmen with Luffy's Fruit, is that cool or what? The community isn't the best, but that probably has to do with the low player base of this game, the other more experienced aren't very helpful or nice, they will gant lower players with no regard and unless you have a friend, this game won't be fun if you aren't willingly to deal with the abuse of being killed by higher leveled players, they'd rather kill you and take your money. But there is a in-game guide to help you, it's very easy to find and the interface is pretty simple, so it shouldn't be hard to figure out the game. The combat is pretty decent, there seems to be a lot of ways to tackle players with certain weapons or fruit, there are a ton of devil fruit and weapon combinations. Overrall I rate Rise Of Pirates 7/10

Bleach: Las Noches




Bleach:Las Noches is a 2d, Action PvP based game on Byond. It takes source from the Manga and Anime written by Tite Kubo. The reason I decided to blog about this today, is because I've been playing it a lot and a few other games on Byond I talk about in later posts, on to the topic. It sucks that there aren't very good MMOs based on animes, but Byond has a few good ones. What makes BLN great, is the well thought over combat system, every move counts, one wrong move could have you lose the entire fight. Shikai's are amazingly Iconned for this 2D game.(As you will see below.) Though, grinding isn't much of a problem for me, the grind is pretty damn long. You can be anything in this Bleach Universe, be it A Quincy, Shinigami, Shinigami Rep(Vaizard), Sado, Inoue, A Weaponist(Those two kids who hang with Urahara.) or even a Vandreich.
There is a ton of things to do, leveling up(grinding), PvP Type Events, PvE Type Events, NPC Challenges, stealing the Hougyoku for you home(Earth, Soul Society or Las Noches.) The community...could be better, they aren't all bad. Some of the GM's are total hardasses, and there are conversations including people making fun of racism, which more then like will HUGELY offend a LOT of people. But I warn that it's rare when these conversations show up and you easily ignore it by turning off world chat. I give Bleach Las Noches a 7.8/10
