One of the secrets behind the success of Nexon's
Mabinogi is the
refreshing take on combat used in the game. Instead of the normal rapid
firing of abilities,
Mabinogi
requires players to understand the tactics of opponents and counter
with an appropriate tactic. It works a little like rock, paper, scissors--but
it goes much deeper.
Ten Ton Hammer's Danny "Ralsu" Gourley has captured some video of one
of his
Mabinogi characters
in a boss battle. He explains the tactics he has to use to save the
day.
