On this week's episode of BombLive, Spunkify tries his hand at the Free-to-Play version of Battlefield.
Kartuga First Look Video
Kartuga is a 3D pirate themed MMO developed by Innogames which has players piloting a pirate ship across perilous seas. Players have the opportunity to choose from 3 ship types which they can level up and spend skill points on in order to customize their ships abilities. The game features interesting combat mechanics which sees players using different cannons and ammo types to control their ship's style of attack. The game offers open world PvE exploration as well as two PvP modes which incorporate interesting mechanics that tie in the overall naval theme.

When a game doesn't come to your platform of choice...just make one!
Lots of rumors and a VERY busy release week next week. Let's cover it!
The online component is actually kind of puzzling in its own right...
A Paragon-inspired project actually see the light of day, but can it compete with a crowded field of MOBAs?
ill post some intersessions
Gameplay is fantastic. Its real action combat. Aiming, timing, skill selection - everything matters.
Game features 3 classes (offense, deference, support) and all imaginable ships, cannons, ammo etc
pvp is challenging and competitive, it encourages deep coordination of efforts to win.
pve is more than decent; u have vast seas and oceans to explore and conquer, nice set of seascape types to serve as arena of your battles. No mob grinding - the storyline quest will send u in all-over-the World travel. allso u can do sideways quests every 20min.
cant tell about p2w features if they are present - haven't reached lvl cap yet. but u have some amount of rubin currency from the beginning so better save it 4 end game if u plan to do it.
As a conclusion: if u like pirate theme - u gonna defiantly enjoy it.
Also the prices on ammo and consumables look really high in my opinion. I can definitely understand that someone that pays (as long as is got the level for it) can basically buy anything since gems can also replace gold and ship part. I'm ok with farming for a little in exchange for free, but those prices seem kinda high in my opinion. And i might not remember this right, but i think there was also an upgrade with those gems to increase the max gold you can carry. That of course makes be believe that max gold might be an issue latter on.
Of course is beta things might change, and most of it's F2P model looked okay for me, except those parts mentioned.
Again, good first look. Keep 'em coming.
