[Review] Eldevin: Amazingly Good Stuff in a Browser MMO

SBFordSBFord Former Associate EditorMember LegendaryPosts: 33,129

When Bill Murphy asked if I would review Eldevin by Hunted Cow, I first took a quick look at the website. I read the words “Story Driven” and was sold. I expected a slow casual romp and told him so. He agreed. So Sylvene was born in Eldevin.

    Eldevin is lots of fun!  Ive been playing since launch and can't stop playing. Well, okay, Edge of the Mists launched in GW2 and Lion's Arch is burning, so I have been spending some time in GW2.  Anyway, this game came out of nowhwere for me and hooked me.  Currently the cap is 40 and there are plans for content up to 50 in the near future. The game is f2p so if you love games in the style of Runescape (only better) you owe it to yourself to try it out!

     

    Edit:  Recently WASD was added to the game and a downloadable client appears to be in the works.  Work continues on improving the camera.

    Thanks for the review.

    Way worse than RuneScape.

    Who said anything about runescape? Are you just comparing it because its a browser game? keep in mind that runescape has been around for 12-13 years..and Eldevin has just come out.

    Link fixed!

    Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

    Game is empty. Okay game engine is well done and other things too but its basicly runescape clone... I'm sorry to say that; sad but true.

    I really would like to play this game for awhile. Something to kill until Early access to ESO is out.

    Maybe even ending up putting it into my normal rotation.

    Alas with Thief coming out next week, and Castlevania, I think that will hold more over until ESO.

    If not I will try it out for sure.

    Somehow it runs like sh*t in my browser. Anyone else experienced this? I've tried different browsers, no result.

    Yes. I have an i7 2600k at 3.70GHz and the game chuggs like a bitch. I can run pretty much any other game at max settings, but this runs poorly? I know it's a browser game, so system specs have varying effects, but WOW it runs bad.

    Too bad the game is hindered from its current P2P formula.

    Tried the early alpha was quite impressive even then,will have to give it a go again some time.

    I had played it a while back but was way too grindy for my taste.  I heard they made the grind with crafting better which is good, but another big problem was that it was almost impossible to get people to group up for dungeons and some of the other group activities, especially at the higher levels.  Very low population unfortunately.

    Havn't played for about a month. Stopped because my inv was full. I can't stand games where you spend most of your time running back to a shop just to clear space so you can get more junk!

    Wish they would make items stackable. For example, my inv got full from going in to the mine, multiple items of the same kind all filling up valuable space that could be stacked like in most other games!

    Also don't like multiplayer concept much. I managed to create a party, went in to a multiplayer section and after soloing a couple of monsters, got booted out when the other party member decided they did not want to be in a party anymore. Why kick you out if you are able to solo!

    Other than these 2 problems I was enjoying the game!

    The inventory problem was a big issue for me.  I was constantly throwing away things just to keep playing.

    I had the same inventory issues a couple months ago. Things stack now, and bags are in game.

    Just buy some sacks. I  have about 60 at this point.  I find them invaluable.  Easy to become a sackholic

    It's reminds me a lot of Runescape from what I've seen, not the new RS but RS2. Is it a Free to play experience with a cash shop option? Can you get everything the game offers with in game currency?
  • SirPeterSirPeter Member UncommonPosts: 33

    as oldschool player from Meridian59,UO,Ashen Empire,Runescape,Tibia etc i just started it 3 weeks ago and yes,i am hooked

    it has a special flair and a awesome community and runs very smooth on my I5 with a old Nvidea 560Ti

    what is most astounished,is,that the creators really listen to their players and implement and update allmost daily

    so this game is a big 8/10 for me

    sincerly Peter

    yes and yes ;)

  • TalemireTalemire Member UncommonPosts: 842
    We need more players, so, try it! 7.4/10 is a bit low IMO. 7.8-8 would be about right.
