TS's quest text is nowhere near as batshit insane as DH's, which may speak to an underlying difference in authorship, but tonally they're identical. I haven't taken the trouble to determine whether Dragomon Hunter and Twin Saga share a developer but I'm all but certain they share a translator. The quest text isn't merely extensive and verbose, it's baroque and bizarre, while everyone dresses as though they're about to take a walk-on part in a restoration drama. Twin Saga is saved, just about, from outright creepiness by two things: the sheer gusto of the writing and the relatively demure visuals. Appetites in general are the focus here: from a delight in violence to an orgy of gluttony, character after character indulges in a frenzy of lust - for weapons, for pies, for defenceless elf girls. There's a disturbing delight in sexual imagery that seems all the more inappropriate given the doll-like characters but the game doesn't rest at bawdy. No, perhaps "lubricious" doesn't quite catch the flavor. Secondly, it's lubricious to a disturbing degree. I get the profound feeling this is a game that's been art designed to within an inch of its life and that's always a positive in my book.Īnd it wasn't even the most disturbing encounter I had that day. The colors are extraordinarily rich and the environments deliriously lush. I realize you have to like the particular style, which won't be to everyone's taste, but as an example of that style I have never seen better.
The screenshots, for once, do it justice. Twin Saga is hands down one of the most visually attractive MMOs I've ever played. Probably more than I should.Ĭouple of things to say about it up front. Which is how I come to be playing Twin Saga. I tried to log into Dragomon Hunter but the servers were down for maintenance (at EU prime-time on a Saturday night on a holiday weekend if you can believe it!). Anyway, with that incentive I opened up the Aeria patcher and patched both games.

Then yesterday, when I was trying to find my Dragon Nest log in information (successfully, I might add, although my installed client is now so far behind the current version it won't even patch, so I have to download the whole thing again before I can play), what should I stumble across but the missing Aeria Games details!Ī little window into the chaos and serendipity that I call a life, there. So I shelved the project and mostly forgot about it, except the Twin Saga icon stayed right there on my desktop, eying me balefully, which meant I could never completely forget about it after all.

At that point I could have made a new account - they're free after all - but then I'd have had to start Dragomon Hunter over from scratch, which I really didn't want to do. I searched around but I couldn't find the details. Only, not having hunted any dragomons for quite a while, I couldn't remember the password. It was at that point that I realized I could use my existing Aeria Games account to play both games. So I downloaded it and installed the inevitable Aeria Games front end, which for some reason I'd never needed for DH. Wait a minute.I'm Level 2 and I haven't logged in yet. Then Syp at Bio Break wrote it up for one of his Try-Out Tuesday pieces and almost everything he said reminded me very strongly of Dragomon Hunter, which I took as a recommendation. Quite a while ago someone - it might have been Kaozz at ECTMMO - wrote something about Twin Saga that made me think it might be worth a look. I took a break and the main reason I didn't go back was I lost my log in details, something I only found out when I tried to play another MMO in the Aeria Games stable, Twin Saga.
I didn't even mention Dragomon Hunter when I was counting down the possibles although last year I was playing it and enjoying it. What I need is another MMO to play, right? Or how about a couple? I mean, according to my own account, I'm only playing five right now, with another dozen lined up, waiting to go.
