Without a doubt, Outspark will find an audience that is bananas over this game, but TenTonHammer can't help but feel confused by what it is trying to be. They never got around to all of the bells and whistles (crafting and such) offered in SoS because they were not motivated by the gameplay.
An objective look at The Red Solstice along with some personal thoughts. Jordan says "It may not be the prettiest/best sounding/polished game out there, but it is still one of my favorite games that I have played for the site and will most likely continue playing it for some time. Most games these days lack depth, difficulty, and other elements that exist in The Red Solstice, which is what I’m looking for in games."
With great power comes great responsibility and that is also true to the studios behind some ambitious free-to-play games. However, sometimes the ambition is just too much and some promising games fail before the dust even settles down. Or there was some miscalculation along the way and players didn’t correspond as expected. Whatever the reason, some games didn’t stay long with us.
I'm going to go ahead and call the company that actually managed to delete all characters and game data from it's server by mistake the biggest 'blunder' in MMO history, much less this year.
It was a game with no English release, so we never heard of it over here.
MMOHut, "Outspark is the free to play publisher behind Fiesta Online, Wind Slayer, Project Powder, and Secret of the Solstice. They’ve got some newer games under their belt as well including the 3D brawler MMORPG Divine Souls, and the upcoming Fists of Fu and Erebus: Travia Reborn..."
