Ah I remember when my friend told me about this game a few weeks ago! I said "pfft" and didn't bother to even try it out. Something I don't regret mainly because I get to play it anyway! Kritika is a pretty fun action 3d game that makes me feel like I am going on a roid rampage and murdering countless monsters for the glory of upgrading my gear and getting +20 on my new sword! Which amazingly isn't that difficult to do! Kritika has four available classes at the moment with more to be released soon! Berserker and Acrobat are available from the start with Dark Valkyrie and Shadow Mage unlocking at level 15 and level 20. Gold and karats do pass between each character so you can farm gold and karats on one and transfer them over the the others!
Now before I dive into the rest of the game let me explain a few things that are blocked out in this screenshot above! As you can see you get the usual stage mode for questing and getting experience and some gold and items! But you will notice two other chained up options! One is the survival mode which allows you to take part in monster wave at different levels. Monster wave is one of the main ways that you will be earning money and has an auto fight option enabled so you can just select it and be lazy while watching your favorite anime or movies! The other is called the Tower of Tribulation and is more about seeing how far you get! The third window is a PvP window that gives three options! Arena,Versus,and Melee! Each of these modes including survival will give you an appropriate rank and will reap you rewards such as gold and karats! So try your best to get to the top! Quests are unlocked at level 9 which reset daily! Upon completing these daily quests you will earn various rewards as well as 20 karats! Nice huh? Sockets help with boosting your character through different gemstones that give stat boosts like attack,defense,health,mana,and so on!
When you unlock the treasure option you will be able to use different keys to unlock different types of chests ranging from bronze to gold quality! Obviously the higher the quality the higher the chance of you getting awesome items! Crafting allows you to well...craft accessories,weapons,and armor using shards that you will get from the different modes except pvp! And enhancing...well...I don't think I have to go into detail there do I? Only thing you need to know is you can reroll affixes to get better stats,inherit and items upgrade level to another that is +4 and equal rarity and to reroll the affixes bonus!
Combat wise it is an action game at heart! With a joypad showing up on screen when you touch it to the skill and attack buttons on the right! Chaining skills together and mobbing up monsters leads to some pretty awesome effects and the faster you clear the dungeon the greater your rank at the end! Skills can be leveled and you also get passive skills to further boost your destructive power! They cost gold to upgrade and karats if you want to learn the next level without the wait but you will be fine with just gold! At the end of each dungeon is a boss that you have to kill of course! And trust me killing them...is fun! As you can see in the screenshots below! The one thing I didn't like is the damn treasure boxes! They always show the item I want somewhere else and even if I try again I get crap! But that's just my luck...
I did talk a bit about the PvP and so far have only been able to participate in the arena mode but this much is certain! Like any game the quality and fortification of your gear matters! Taking +10 and +5 fortified gear into the fight is better than taking unfortified gear! Getting your equipment upgraded doesn't cost an arm and a leg either! Simply do the monster wave and get the necessary gold then upgrade using the different items you've obtained! I've managed to get up to +10 on my weapon without failing using different grades of items as well as different grades of enhance plans! Each item comes in grey,green,blue,purple,and orange grades so be sure to know what you have! Now back to the PVP! Winning an arena match will earn you 1 karat and a few arena points that when they reach a certain milestone will grant you an item! Also ranking in the arena will net you karats and so far I have 96 karats waiting for me by the end of this week! Maybe more! PvP is automatic or at least the pvp in arena mode! So your character decides when to use the skills it has or when not to! Just hope your character isn't dumb right? :D
