Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

Pretty Good

The most notable gameplay systems of DOMO all work to encourage player interaction and to build community in a way that relates to the story. Each player can have five different types of relationships, most notable among them falling in love. Based on your avatar’s zodiac sign and age, he or she will be attracted to certain members of the opposite sex (I have found no evidence of homosexuality in DOMO’s mirror world). You’ll be walking around in Eversun and suddenly hear your heart pounding. A sparkly trail will point you off in the direction of the person responsible for causing your cardiac abnormality, and you can take it from there.

DOMO also features an in-game instant messenger that makes private chat a breeze. It’s a cool system, unlike the usual whispers found in MMOGs. You can add friends and block enemies, just as you would with your real IM on your PC.

With so many components designed to get players to interact with one another, it’s a shame the community isn’t better. At the risk of being crucified for generalizing, I’d say most DOMO players are 12-15 years old based on their behavior. Players will steal mobs, spam chat with nonsense, and behave like middle school students in general. That doesn’t mean everyone who plays DOMO is a miscreant; I’ve met several dozen very cool gamers in DOMO, many of whom have offered to group with me or have me in their guilds just because I write for Ten Ton Hammer.

Good

I appreciate any game that can offer as much as DOMO does for free. The title is above average in value because it runs smoothly, provides all of the basic systems along with a few unique ones, and tells a gripping story.

Pretty Good

The bland combat engine and wacky community will scare off a few gamers early on, but those who play DOMO to level twenty will be hooked. The key is finding a good guild and learning from those who are willing to share their wisdom. DOMO has too many intricate pieces to teach them all in a tutorial.

Conculsion

Dream of Mirror Online is the kind of F2P game I wish more gamers would try. People who can appreciate the beautifully rendered cel-shading and a story that greatly varies from the traditional will not be disappointed. The multi-class system means any group of people make the ideal party so long as you keep one job from each archetype leveled. The multiplayer features are unique, too. Most importantly, you’ll find yourself eager to explore the world inside the Mirror of Kunlun.
