[MSA] Review of MapleStory Adventures

Well its finally up!
So here's a short review of what it is like!

I chose a mage because I wasn't sure I would like melee style fighting. Since you probably can't change jobs in the game, better be safe than sorry!

First, quests lead you on in the game. There are a few main ones, which will be displayed at the left side of the screen. There are quests from NPCs at every map too, and they are mostly map specific. Like "Hunt 30 slimes" or "Collect 15 Seals" or something like that. They are relatively easy to complete, and you mostly get money as rewards! $.$

If you're not interested in completing these quests, you can just hunt slimes to level up or something. But bear in mind that some quests allow you to level your skill up and learn crafting and things like that! I'm not sure if you can proceed on to the next map to higher level monsters and so on. I'll check again!
As for skills, complete certain quests and you can unlock the various levels in each skills. As you upgrade it higher, you'll need skill permits. Here's how the social game part comes in. You can either use Facebook credit to buy, or you could have a chance to get it every 5 consequetive days you log in, or you could ask your friends to send these permits to you.
The art of crafting! It reminds me of the profession skills that are going to come out in Chaos patch. So once you buy the recipe, you can start crafting inside your cauldron. The red rock you see is the magic stone, which drops out of every mob you kill.
 There you go, the magic stone!

The game interface feels very much like a mini-MapleStory, except with the usual Facebook game elements. One rather annoying thing is that your energy keeps running out. Each day, you have 2 free refills of 70 energy, so make full use of that! You have to train till you have no more energy and there will be a pop-up allowing you to collect the pizza (70 energy).
One major difference would be the map! To get around places, you click the World Map and you click on the destination you want to get to. Fast and efficient, I must say, but I wouldn't mind a nearest town scroll please!

The music playing is the background song in Henesys town, which further adds on to the feel of the authentic MapleStory! All in all, its a rather nice game to pass time for MapleStory fanatics waiting for the server check to be over. Go try it out!
