MMOHeart: Vindictus

Vindictus is a hack and slash MMORPG developed by DevCat (internal studio belonging to Nexon). It is based on Celtic mythology and allows players to fight their way through dungeons-type instances with parties of up to 4 people.

Gameplay:

Seems that the game is based on an episodic format, and new “episodes” are added with time. When finishing an episode, the player will receive gold or items for quests and also extra Health Points. Items and increased HP are mainly given in order to help with later episodes.

There are 4 main classes for people to try out and they're all gender locked (Fiona, Lann, Evie, and Karok). Also the beginning trailer and gameplay seems to be similar for all of them but I suggest if you're a first timer, to go through it as it is pretty helpful and fun.

Characters:

Fiona: " female character described as a "balanced warrior who wields a sword and shield." Fiona is a defensive melee character who acts as the group's "Tank" (serving as a distraction while withstanding many hits) and is able to wear Heavy Armor at character creation and acquires the ability to wear Plate Mail as she levels. Her alternate weapon is a Long Hammer which causes more burst damage at the cost of attack speed. She starts off with a Small Shield, but later gains the ability to use a Large Shield, increasing her blocking ability with the inability to use certain counterattack skills. Both types of shields can be used to block attacks from powerful bosses late in the game, which can prove extremely helpful while fighting enemies with a high damage output."

Lann: "male character described as "An intrepid warrior with a passion for weapons." The character specializes in Dual-Wielding weapons, specifically Swords. His main role in the party is DPS (Damage per second). Lann is a fast-attack melee class that starts out wearing Light Armor (though he gains the capability to wear Heavy/Plate Armor as he levels up) and relies on speed and evasive maneuvers to win battles. His alternate weapons are Twin Spears, which comes with increased damage and higher critical hit rate with the cost of some dodging maneuvers."

Evie: " female magician who uses different types of magic to help the player and the party. Her main role is Support (healing, buffing, etc.), Burst (dealing high damage in one hit) and DPS (Damage per second). Evie mostly wears Cloth Armor, but gains the ability to wear Light Armor as she grows stronger. Evie's main weapon is a Staff, which mainly is used for Supportive and Burst, and her alternate weapon is a Battle Scythe, increasing her DPS at the cost of her Supportive abilities."

Karok: "a giant male character who utilizes Brawling (engages with powerful physical combat while maintaining damage resistance) within the battlefield. He can do impressive but slow combos with a Battle Pillar, but he can throw the pillar and switch to Hand-to-Hand Combat which causes more damage at the cost of defense. He uses many physical special moves against monsters and bosses, using his skills and stature to dominate the battlefield. Unlike other characters, Karok can also grab and intercept Boss-leveled enemies regardless of size and can crush and/or rip apart smaller enemies that would otherwise be ungrabbable to other characters, such as Spiders, Wisps, Hemdrills and Vampires. His alternate weapon is a Cestus, greatly improving his Hand-to-Hand Combat style."

One of the main things which attracts players, is the possible transformation of a character. These are special skills which, of course, increase significantly the characters’ stats. There are 2 transformations, Paladin or Dark Knight and both gain certain stats except that they focus on a characteristic more than the other, e.g. the Paladin gets more defence, whilst the Dark Knight gets higher Phy/Mag power.
