The party system, though far from ground-breaking, is rather commendable. If you have nothing against grindfests (it IS a Korean RPG, after all) and an obsessive-compulsive need to build the perfect party, Inotia 4 will eventually suck you in and keep you there. However, once momentum has been built, beautiful things can happen. Like a blind date between mostly compatible people, things can begin on a slightly shaky note. So, why play Inotia 4? Why go through strange localization and flighty controls? Why endure the storyline you’ve probably heard a thousand times before? Why did this get a four star as opposed to a plea for you to run away? On the other hand, the sound effects left something to be desired for. On one hand, the music isn’t too shabby it’s the kind of stuff you would expect from an RPG. As for the audio, I’m somewhat on the fence. An odd mixture of Retina quality elements and retro-looking graphics, the game feels a little older than its actual release date. To be fair, it doesn’t happen all that often but when it does happen, you’ll take painful notice.įrom an audiovisual perspective, Inotia 4 is neither particularly impressive nor completely humdrum. On top of many smaller issues, the deluge of buttons, character portraits, health bars and mana bars can make it literally impossible to see where you’re going. It’s the interface that bugs me to no end. While I’m not particularly fond of the virtual d-pad utilized here or its periodic lack of responsiveness, the controls are pretty standard fare. If you were looking for something new, this isn’t the KRPG you’re looking for. There are warring factions, magic, subterfuge, hidden pasts, and even an arrogant stranger with an overpowered weapon. Inotia 4 is a little bit of everything you’ve ever encountered in an RPG from the Orient. Needless to say, this sort of sets the pattern for the rest of the game. His star-crossed love interest? A young woman who bears more than a passing resemblance to Final Fantasy heroines like Rinoa, Garnet and Yuna. For example, the protagonist’s an effeminate-looking but curmudgeonly chap who also happens to be young, gifted at the art of assassination and a member of the Shadow Tribe. The story in Inotia 4: Assassin of Berkel is one built out of familiar tropes.

Unless you’re totally adverse to the idea of peculiar phrasing, the accidental humor actually offers a light-hearted touch to what otherwise feels like a stereotypical jaunt. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, mind you. Here, you’ll find imposing-looking orcs declaring that things are “kinda awkward" and villains that order their lackeys to “allure" helpless souls to a nefarious end.
ZENONIA 1 ASSASSIN FREE
While relatively free of the grammatical errors that usually plague such games, Inotia 4 has a rather, uh, unique way with words. This awkwardness informs a lot of the dialogue in Inotia 4: Assassin of Berkel (Free). A mixture between the Knight and Assassin since this class can duel wield weapons.If there’s anything I’ve learned after pouring several days of my life into the latest installment of Com2uS’s action-rpg Inotia franchise, it’s that no amount of Engrish exposure can truly prepare you for that strange moment when a gorgeous brunette clad in diaphanous silks informs a ‘pretty boy’ of an anti-hero that he is squirting blood.

Warrior-Warrior is a great tank and damage class with stun skills.

Moreover, Warlocks can wear Plate Mail, which increases their defense.

They're able to use skills that can summon swords, which is great in inflicting damage.
