Crush Online Review

This title is a confusing one to even begin with. Seeing Crush Online for the first time is an overwhelming experience, since it includes elements from many different genres and not in their best ways. Its description indicates that it’s a mixture of MOBA and MMORPG genres but you can clearly find some intense strategy themes to it too.

As in any MMORPG, you first have to create a character and choose his/hers class from three different ones: Saint, Punisher and Guardian, one for each role. Even though it’s questing system and playstyle looks like a basic MMORPG, the camera is locked to top-down view and you use the same controls as in any MOBA game. However, you can use multiple weapons if you get bored by your (only 4) skills so that you can spice things up.

The main objective of Crush Online is based on territory wars. You choose one of three factions and march to victory so that your faction gains more ground. The entire game map, except from dungeons and instances, are divided into smaller territories. Each of these sectors are MOBA arenas complete with defensive towers and a Nexus for each team. Players must capture the towers and destroy the opposing team’s Nexus to gain control of the sector and receive faction-wide bonuses in return.

Winning the territory wars need high levels and the best gear available to be achieved and this is where the MOBA genre is kind of lost. You may be instanced in an arena with uber powered opponents or completely dominate underleveled players so that you can win the war.

To sum up, Crush Online is a fair title with many different elements that make it feel like an overwhelming chaos. If you are into big and messy MMORPGs then this one may be a new favorite of yours. Otherwise, you may need a lot of creative thinking and “getting used to” for you to be impactful in this territory war.
