Celes Arca: Android Gaming Review

  So I have noticed that I have been gone for a very long time...and undoubtedly lost a large portion of the people that would actually read any of these articles! But now that I am back(and no I did not go to jail) I plan on doing some much needed cleaning,updating,and more importantly submitting new articles for you all to read! That being said let's get started with this article!

  Celes Arca Online is a very gorgeous game that reminds me of a time when all I had was Final Fantasy on my SNES and would bust my head open trying to figure out how to beat a certain boss! Call it nostalgia but I have found myself strangely addicted to this game! As some of you may have already figured out Celes Arca has a turn based combat system similar to the early Final Fantasy games! This means that you must carefully select how to handle monsters or bosses or you might find yourself kissing the ground more often than not! You are given a set amount of skills based on what stones you produce and place into slots on your weapon! I am still fairly new to the game but the most slots I have on me right now is 2 on my weapon. But that's more than enough for the monsters of my level and I am sure that as I craft better weapons I will gain access to a few more!

  Now unlike most turn based games you do not get npc characters or mercenaries to help you but rather a player can simply jump into combat and join your party! This makes for interesting encounters and also means that less people fight over mobs in areas! Most of you are probably thinking that you get a penalty to your experience but from what I have seen that doesn't really happen at all! Everyone gets the full amount of experience points so this encourages players to help out if they can! So let's say you're fighting a monster and are having trouble...then out of nowhere a player pops in and helps you by casting a healing spell or using an item on you! Both of you just took down a monster,got the exp,and probably become friends and take down even more baddies! Sounds good huh?

   To make things even more interesting this game also has 3 different classes that you can choose from upon reaching level 5! As you can see in the image above they are the more basic ones and not much of a selection...right? But it gets better! Upon reaching level 35 you are allowed to do another advancement quest which allows for you to choose from 1 of 2 branching classes! Not enough? Well you upgrade and specialize even more upon reaching level 65! Which is what I am trying to do right now! The title of Lord Knight...makes me drool! But enough of that! You have a wide variety of class advancements which specialize in different areas and if you are really curious just check out the wiki which shows all the different ones and what they specialize in! Celes Arca Classes

  From a first time player I am very much interested in playing this game and reaching level 65! Not only for the title of Lord Knight but also for the opportunity to take part in boss fights as well as join or create a guild and defeat monsters and so on! The community of this game is lively and you will undoubtedly see people fighting monsters,doing quests, and asking for items in this game as well as talking on the main chat! This is pretty cool and I am looking forward to being part of this community! If you are interested in checking it out these are the links for both the Android Version and the Apple Version!

Ecol Tactics

  If you are a fan of Final Fantasy Tactics or Fire Emblem games where you control mercenaries or troops while fighting monsters and being able to earn items and gear to make you look like a badass then this game is for you!At first glance it looks kind of bland since you don't have any skills or any mercenaries to help you out but after the tutorial where you beat up a few thieves and are introduced to the game mechanics you begin to see that this game has much more promise!

  The available classes for you and your mercenaries are Archer,Priest,Mage,and Swordsman.Not much but as they level you can change them to two different classes.I didn't pay attention to Luke when he explained this but I am sure you will!Each class has skills that are devastating and visually stunning when used in combat.In order to obtain these skills you must first find a skill stone.You can also upgrade skills and uncover different skills from skill stone boxes you may find.This means you are not limited to one class and can play all the classes if you so wish!

  As you progress through the games main quests and try to join the ranks of the mercenaries you are introduced to each npc such as the weapon and armorsmiths and the potion npc.This will be of great help to any new players as this is a key part of not dying...no seriously.After doing all that you are finally allowed to speak to the head of the Mercenaries Guild Lucas...but call him Luke...he demands it.After a brief umm..."conversation" you are given a task...BATTLE LUKE!Not really...you simply kill two slimes then the game takes over and the fight is carried out by the game...I would have like to put an arrow between his eyes but I suppose this will do.
  After the "fight" with Luke you are finally granted permission to be part of the mercenaries guild!Yay!But first you have to recruit mercenaries so that you aren't such a loner!Who needs real friends right?Downside?It is completely random!Choosing which mercenaries you get is decided by a card game.You flip a card and that's what you get.You can have multiple goes at it but this will cost you gold or M-Tickets.It's not so bad though considering you could be forced to pay cash shop currency for better mercenaries.So enjoy this mini game that will decide your fate in battle!Nothing serious right?Hehe...

  All in all Ecol Tactics is a nice game and is highly addictive.I would recommend this game to anyone who is looking for something to pass the time while they are waiting for any other mmorpg to release.If you are feeling particularly lonely in this game feel free to drop me a message here on in game.My in game name is JesseAlzuriu and I'm on the second server.Take Care!
