Mar Mar Online Review

E-mail Print PDF

mainMar Mar Online may look cute and friendly but in reality the game is very grindy.  There are a couple things to be noted about this game before you try it out that may have you wanting or not wanting to try it out.  Though the game has some translated quests in English that may be a plus to foreign gamers.  Is Mar Mar Online worth trying or not? Find out here and why!

Newbie Character

The game has decent graphics engine, low end computers are able to run everything on max settings without any noticeable slow downs.  Resolutions can be changed which is pretty good since most games I have been playing lately seem to have fixed resolutions.  There are only a couple eye/hairstyles so expect to see some sister/brother clones ingame but you can fully customized hair color.

The grind curve is just like your average foreign MMO like Aion but a little harder.  The grind wasn't the big problem in the game though.  Some levels would go by really fast since you have some quests that give you a huge exp chunk of bonus, some other levels will go by really slow and will have you grinding mobs for a couple hours.  After reaching level 20 you can advance to your first job change class.  The grind to 20 will be worth it because when you change classes killing things would go a lot smoother and faster by a ton.

There were a couple aspects in the game system and gameplay that seemed like there wasn't put much thought into for their targeted age players.  I really hated how the game was super duper hard and not noob friendly as it looked.  Every mob you fought almost always linked to something so you have to run away, which is like 5 steps until you lose aggro.  Then you have to finish your mob off then run away again because you won't have enough HP to kill the link.  I felt partying was a bit necessary to finish some of the higher level storyline quests.

Though the game may not have a lot to offer at the moment it has a lot of job classes that are very unique and you don't see in other games.  R.C a class that specializes in making Paper Airplanes and R.C Plane/Cars.  A Trap Master class that utilizes a full wide range variety of traps to stop and kill enemies.  A Magician and Summoner class which are pretty self explanatory.  A Dancer which is a melee type of class that uses dance maneuvers to attack enemies I.E break dancing.  Then the last job is a Ball Master, don't let the name fool you but you do have a ton of balls to play with, Bowling Balls, Soccer Balls, Baseballs, Footballs, and almost every type of ball you ever imagined.  Well, lets hope not every type of ball "YOU" ever imagined anyway this is a kids game.  I thought the coolest skill in game was the ability that lets you transform into a super hero.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to experience this phenomenon in Open Beta due to some error.  Last thing about skills is that emotions takes up skill points which may have you saying "wtf!"

Blank Stare

Being a new game there wasn't any cash shop yet to preview what is in store for costumes and stuff in game.  I felt the the uniforms for each school was a bit lacking in colors and green is just a very... very bad color.  You can find accessories from mobs that can enhance your characters looks from cute tie up ribbons, glasses, swine mask, neko mimi hats, and other things.

Summoner in Action!

Other than the fact that you can play the game in a poorly translated English like mine, this game may have you set if you don't mind the things that I said above.  Mar Mar Online is a very cute game but not cute enough to have me playing it continuously.  There are just to many factors ingame that needs to be patched up and made more user/noob friendly.
