I played this game for a long time. I peek'd. I had more fun and hapiness than i can think of having in the future. I met a lot of interesting people. Made a lot of friends. Family even. I got to a decent level and did all i could to make others feel the same way i did. Slowly they all departed. As did I. I still miss every single one of them. I can recall one of them was going overseas with the army. I hope you are ok dude.
Now to the real review: I had the most fun ever. This game is not only about battling and leveling... its about the people! Thats the most important! I recomend, yes i do.

To all the people ive met on La Tale, that made Dan who he is today, I wish you hapiness. Nothing more, nothing less.
Good day.

Ruined my life.
Made me lazy.
Taught me to yell at space pirates.

10/10 - Would play more.

This game puts little emphasis on cosmetic items, and everything that you need to do well with is given to you as you need it. Leveling up is super easy as long as you follow the quests. Classes are wonderfully balanced, all with their own advantages and disadvantages. Great game overall. 10/10 would recommend.

I can fish. 11/10

La Tale is a wonderful, fresh breath of air in the 2D MMO community. It has amazing graphis and animations, a wonderful story, quests gives great rewards for minimal effort, servers are rarely down, GMs are enthusiastic, friendly and involved with the community, and all these are relatively easy to learn. There are many dungeons ingame, that will always keep you on your toes. You never know quite what to expect in the world of La Tale. All in all i would suggest if you like MMOs at all, that you should definitely give this one a try!

I've tried every class available in this game up to at least Lv.20, and have played three up to the first job change (Guardian, Treasure Hunter, and Meister). I have to disagree with all the glowing reviews of this game. My experience has just been a mindless repetitive grind with little customization outside of appearance.

Suppose I'll start with what I mean by "little customization." You earn a single skill point each time you level up. You use these to learn new weapon attacks and passive skills. Every weapon tree, however, only has 4 or 5 attacks that have to be learned in a certain order. There's no branching, no "this or that." Just straight up, "these are your five attacks that you'll use over and over for the rest of your days." All skills, including passive ones, are level-locked also, further limiting your choices of where to spend your points. Further still, some classes only have one weapon type available to them (Soul Breakers, and Engineers of the starting classes).

After undergoing my first class change from Knight to Guardian, Engineer to Meister, and Explorer to Treasure Hunter, I noticed that of the three, Guardian and Treasure Hunter play very much the same as their first-tier counterparts. You start off with slightly flashier versions of the same five skills you had previously (in the case of Knight to Guardian, you lose the ability to use any other weapons besides knuckles), and not much else noticably changes. Meister was the only class of the three that played differently in that now instead of swinging around a fashionably metrosexual pumpkin man-purse, I now had a nifty yellow mech as my weapon. Unfortunately with the mech, every attack, even basic attacks, drain your SP. Having low SP to begin with, I was only able to fight one or two enemies before having to rest. Not sure if I was just doing something wrong, but needless to say, I didn't exactly see a whole lot of meisters rolling around.

Leveling in LaTale consists of talking to one quest giver, receiving multiple quests to kill certain enemies, completing thosequests, then receiving more quests to kill those same enemies five more times until you move to the next area and repeat the process. It's incredibly tedious and gets very stale quickly.

There seems to be some sort of crafting system, but I could never figure out how to participate. It's not included in any of the tutorial quests. Further, equipment and potions drop so frequently, I question just how useful crafting would even be in this game.

I have some minor issues with the interface also, such as the inability to increase the font size, and how your tracked quests disappear from your HUD whenever you log out or the game crashes. Again, rather minor.

One last thing...prirings are totally and unabashedly a ripoff of porings from RO.

This game is one of the most accurate representations of L.A. I have seen from a game in a very long time. If you haven't installed this game yet I suggest you do so now, and if you're saying "But I don't like MMOs, even it is similar to Maplestory, I still won't get it." Then please get this game for all the work the developers put into representing L.A. in all it's true glory.

If you want a more sharp graphic style MapleStory like experience then play La Tale.

I've played LaTale for a long time and I always end up playing it for long periods of time when I come back around to it. For newer players the game can be more challenging without the money to add extra stats, but that's part of the fun. The playerbase consists of lots of humorous, nice people and the GAs/GMs are interesting when they are around. If you like grinding, you can join in and have fun. If you like questing, you can do the same. LaTale has a bit of everything for everyone to help satisfy the 2D platforming genre, whether it be focused in social or pure battling. With a level 200 level cap and tons of content to come, as they arrise, I would recommend LaTale for anyone to try.

Like Maple Story? Don't have Maple Story 2? Then get La Tale!

I played LaTale for a few first hours when i first knew about it and i thought "Meh its not THAT good" but after a few weeks i came back on Latale. When you first see LaTale, you think "MAPLESTORY CLONE!".....WELL YOUR WRONG! after playing a few hours of it you actually get hooked in to the friendly (sometimes weird) cast of LaTale. The controls are simple so is the motion/moving mechanics and the class systems are very easy to use. Overall i wouldn't say MapleStory is better or Latale is Better, I think both games are even just a few little things make them different!. Now for the Cons. LaTale has no Major cons (for NOW!) but it does have some minor ones: like Lag and Channels crashing. AND! it only causes about 1-2 GB (correct me if i am wrong) to download! (Think CARFULLY ABOUT THIS DEAL!) well, in steam it takes 1-2 GB's. In the End I would Very Much Suggest Latale!

This is a really fun MMO game. If you like to battle monsters, go on quests and like carton graphics. It's a cute little game and it can get addicting. The controls are a little complex at first but you learn to adjust to everything going on.

This game is sick! it's like Maplestory, but the characters are bigger!

La Tale will always have a speical place in my heart ;)
This is the best 2D game I have ever played after maplestory.
8/10 couldn't give less.

0 playtime because I've played this game a lot off steam. Like, more than I'd like to admit. Probably 1000+ hours worth, or somewhere around that number. I was there when the closed beta for both OGP and Aeria games held this little treasure, and I was there when there were just 4 initial classes, and you had to get to 80 to rank up. Back when puzzle pieces were locked behind a paywall.

Needless to say, I've played this game a lot. Not so much anymore, what with real-world responsibility weighing down on me, but I can tell you for a fact that this MMO is definitely worth your time.

The animations are fluid, and the way combat works is very different from Maple Story, and I believe it looks a thousand times nicer too. Whereas in Maple you'll usually stick to a spot, throw a couple skills out at enemies, jump around to avoid an enemy or something then repeat, Latale has you constantly spamming your rather nice looking skills, stick-then move basis where enemies go down relatively quickly to your power in a gratifying and enjoyable way. And the game rewards you for your quick movements and your quick attack chains with a hit counter (Which, by the way, increases your exp and ely awards the higher it is).

Since it's many updates and balances, Latale has a total of 6 initial classes (since I last checked), the 4 main ones (Warrior, Knight, Wizard, Explorer) splits off into two paths each, while the other two (Engineer, Soul breaker) just change into their own new thing. These changes happen at level 40 (Used to be 80, that being a long and arduous journey to get there), and once you do get to that golden number, just about everything changes. Whatever class you chose to go into at that level gets massive buffs, new skills, sometimes even new playstyles (Like Engineer --> Meister, go from wielding a suitcase into a pilotable mecha. No, nothing in that sentence is a typo.), which radically either changes the game, or sets you on a new course with new skills and powers to try out on the masses of enemies just awaiting to die. And the class upgrades beyond that do just the same.

Lately, the game seems to have gotten a pay-to-win vibe to it, which is very discouraging to new players. But most of the items you can buy in the item shop, you can attain in-game through either some work or some of the many events that OGP seems to like to throw it's players. Stuff like the fashion items and the auto-loot pets, along with some other key items that makes life super easy is locked behind that paywall. It's fairly annoying, but the game's entertainment value for what it does and it's wild ride more than makes up for it. Plus, if you do so choose to spend money, you get some relatively good value for what you spend (Take advantage of the sales!).

Unfortunately, like almost all MMOs do, it starts to get grindy once you start getting to 70+. Fairly late in the game, and at the point where you've already accomplished so much, and there's much more to go, that you'll either want to keep going, or you'll start to fall out and just play once in a while. I'll leave this particular part up to you to decide if you'd want to keep going from there. But even if you do play up until then, it'll be the best ~70 levels you've ever played in an MMO, I guarantee it.

Not gonna lie, there is some pretty bad localization in this. They've had over a few years to get it right, and they still haven't, even some of the NPCs that have been in the game since day 1 of closed beta. If you're a grammar nazi, or if seeing silly sentences turns you off, be warned. There's some story to the game, and unless you have an open mind or you're totally cool with skipping all the dialogue and text boxes on the quests, you'll get annoyed quickly. There's some untranslated items sprinkled around too, though not nearly as common.


To sum it all up, Latale is a fantastic ride, with it's combat feeling fresh and exciting with each new skill and class one tries out, and continues to do so until the later levels. While the game is slightly pay-to-win, it's largely negligible unless you want to take a bunch of shortcuts or have that autolooting pet. The localization is at best passable, and at worst downright terrible, but if you can look beyond that, latale is a fantastic MMO to sink your teeth into.


And no, it's not a Maple Story clone. IMO, I think Maple could take some lessons from Latale.

LaTale has the potential to be a great game but the controls are a nightmare. They feel floaty, slow, and choppy, ruining what has all the great aspects of an MMORPG.

I have played this for years and when it came tos team that made it even more special!! Tons of free stuff for new players from the abio red guy as you progress in levels, easy to level, and you have a ton of fun playing. It resembles the old school SNES feel but the skills are more better and man it's a really great game and if you talk to the right people you can even gain new friends to play with and game together. It's a laid back community and very nice people. You can get a few friends to play with you and even randomly get help from somone that has been here forever lol. Go ahead and play there is a ton of events that give out cool things lately.

An amazing game, no need to even buy anything because if your rich enough you can buy the premium currency for in-game currency. (Ely) If you loved maplestory, you will love this game too.

Did not get the chance to play this game that much, but it seems to be a well-structured RPG.

If your a fan of side scroller mmos this one is pretty good. I personaly think that the movement pace is a little slow but they keep you moving pretty good on quests. The inclusion of being able to buy fashion items with in game money is pretty cool too. That being said it is plagued with micro transactions altho not nessisary still they are there. I suggest checking it out. i give it 7 1/2 on a 1 to 10 scale. give it a go its pretty fun.
