CABAL Online Review

Cabal Online is a free-to-play MMORPG developed and published by ESTSoft. Even though Cabal Online was first launched in 2008 and cannot be characterized as a recent released MMORPG, it is still one of the most flowing and easy going ones. Creating a character is fast, leveling up is fast, gearing up is easy and overall if you are not a hardcore player you’ll find yourself loving it. On the other hand if you are a hardcore one you will get almost addicted to all its PvP activities and will keep you dedicated for months or even years.

There are 7 different classes in Cabal Online:  Warrior, Blader, Wizard, Force Archer, Force Shielder, Force Blader, and Gladiator. Each one has its own unique playstyle and skill combos as well as strengths and weaknesses. If you are a character creation enthusiast then you’ll be disappointed since the game doesn’t have a variety of changing options.

Gameplay-wise Cabal Online is mainly PvP focused. You can duel another player, take part in raids and fight in the Nation Wars which are practically massive battles with point claiming. You can even bet on other players’ duels to get the most out of your currency.

If you love skill chaining and combos then you should know that Cabal Online was the father of this mechanic. Perfect timing and fast fingers is the key to perfecting your class and giving you victories.

The PK option is also available in most areas of the game, but the penalties of doing so are pretty harsh. For your first ones you just won’t be able to talk to NPC’s but after your fifth one you will be teleported to a giant maze from which you’ll have to escape. Relogging will not do the trick, you’ll have to pay your sentence here.

If you are more of a PvE player then you’ll have to know that grind is the key here. Even though leveling up is easy, the hard cap of Cabal Online is set to 200 so you’ll have to give it a lot of time to reach the end game. Every level you get awards you with 5 skill points (STR, INT & DEX) which you can allocate as you please to create the perfect build.

To sum up, Cabal Online is an “Old but Gold” MMORPG which you have to try and find out where all those mechanics you see in new RPG’s come from. If that’s not enough to keep you hooked then did we mention that the game’s soundtrack is based on K-Rock? Totally a must play.
