Is LaTale Worth Playing?

Whether you've heard or not, a MMORPG known as LaTale has become an eyebrow-raiser for many in the gaming community. Unfortunately, it's not all for the best reasons. It's been considered, by some, as nothing more than a cheap lookalike of a preexisting game, MapleStory. And although LaTale has received a healthy amount of praise and hype, it still faces attacks by a silly argument: why play LaTale when I have MapleStory? And the answer to that question is, well, they're two whole different games.

LaTale is open for everyone

Well, so far it is! Whether you're residing in Antarctica or Zimbabwe (and assuming you have the means to connect to the Internet), LaTale is, quite literally, a game of many worlds. One of many frustrations people receive in playing MMORPGs is that a handful of game publishers create localized versions of their game, consequently restricting access to it from players of foreign countries. OGPlanet, who acts as LaTale's game publisher, has not imposed such a boundary, and thank goodness for that.

LaTale is complex, yet easy to play

A chunk of MMORPGs sadly fall into either one of two categories: (1)games that are overly simple and lack enjoyable gameplay, or (2) games that have a ridiculous learning curve that most players won't touch with a ten-foot yardstick. LaTale falls in neither one of these two areas, mangaging to possess both easy and developed features rather successfully. Take LaTale guild system, for instance. In this game, a guild is not just a guild. It changes the entire game -- it changes your level of combat; it changes your opportunites to progress in the game. And although LaTale might be a 2D game, it doesn't stop them from adding new dimensions to your gaming experience.

Once all the heat cools down over this foolish debate, it all boils down to a fundamental question, "Is LaTale worth playing?" To which we respond, both concisely and precisely, "Yes."
