Ragnarok is one of the most popular online computer games worldwide. Now you can enjoy the world of Midgard in a self-contained adventure with Ragnarok DS. While the main adventure is not online like the PC game, the world, characters, themes, and gameplay remain intact. Play as Ales, a young novice adventurer. After losing both his parents, Ales vows to become a great adventurer and along the way he meets up with a ragtag team of fighters who will aid him on his quest.
Published and localized by XSEED in the year 2010, Ragnarok DS came to the American continent.This title based on the known and popular Ragnarok Online comes to the Nintendo DS, but does the game meet the expectations of the fans of the MMORPG or is it just a failed attempt by Gravity and GungHo? let’s find out.
"Mass Effect 2 and Ragnarok DS are this week’s main deals – except for a non-RPG deal on Read Dead Redemption which might help out with some extra cash towards an RPG of your choice." -Russ Ritchey, RPG Land
WP writes: "Most companies have all but realized that MMOs don't work on consoles, but few have had the inane idea of taking all the worst parts of an MMO and condensing it into a handheld game. Alas, that's just what XSeed and Gravity tried to do with Ragnarok DS, and the results are expectedly atrocious.
Ragnarok DS is a spin-off of the MMO Ragnarok Online, and I hope for the sake of the game's community that the full-fledged online game is more entertaining than its DS counterpart. This version features a paucity of locales, insultingly insipid quests and more boring level-grinding than even a typically obsessive RPG gamer would be willing to handle."
Although this may not have worked with the DS, can you imagine if Blizzard released a handheld WOW? That'd be AMAZING
