Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds covers all the aspects an MMORPG title deserves to have which includes the likes of a visually beautiful and thriving online open-world, the usual RPG growth systems to upgrade your characters, a wide selection of classes to choose from and form your own squad, and lastly the vast amount of content which can be played and enjoyed on for hours at a stretch without getting bored. The Netmarble and Level 5 developed title which just saw its global release is a treat to watch and play, especially for die-hard core MMORPG fans and players can experience the most optimized and lag-free experience for Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds on their PC.

The Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds storyline takes place in a fictional world of a game called Soul Divers, wherein players role-play as the protagonist chosen to be a beta tester for the said game. Players can imitate their real life in this fictional world and make strong bonds along the way. The world of Soul Divers is also inhabited by tiny creatures called Familiars who possess a hidden strength that unlocks when they are equipped with a character. Speaking of characters, Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds has a variety of classes to choose from, with each class having its own niche of use and strategic deployment on the battlefield. However, to draw out the negatives, the class system in Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds does lack the customizability aspect as all the classes are gender locked and their body styles and shapes are fixed. Currently, the game offers the players 5 choices of classes:

• Destroyer
• Witch
• Engineer
• Rogue
• Swordsman

Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds is a gacha game where players can summon these Familiars which we mentioned above as well as Equipment and Costumes. Costumes do not provide many stats and exist only for the sake of show-off and exclusivity. However, the negative aspect is that the collection of such costumes and accessories does offer some base stats. The gacha aspect of the game plays a major role in enhancing your character and making them stronger. This is due to the difference between base stats in the different tiers of equipment and the rarity of Familiars. This is reminiscent of traditional gacha RPG titles on mobile devices and is prevalent in the genre. To make things easier, especially for the free-to-play player/casual gamer, Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds does offer a pity system and an immense amount of summoning currency to give a fair chance to all players. Regardless, due to the grindy nature of the game, the players who put in the time in order to hone their skills and complete more quests will always have an advantage over casual players. We highly recommend checking out different tips and tricks in order to get stronger in the game.

Players can take part in the following game modes:

• Kingdom Defense – Kingdom Defense is a PvE-based game mode where the demons have attacked your Kingdom and the members must assemble and fight together to defeat them.

• Kingdom Invasion – Kingdom Invasion is the PvP-based game mode where 2 different Kingdoms and their members fight against each other in an inter-kingdom battle on the same server. Players can set up an attack formation and defense formation and one single Kingdom member cannot be part of both the formations. Hence, players have to devise strategies to win these wars and earn a hefty amount of rewards and boasting rights.

• Relic Wars – Relic Wars is a PvP based game mode where 2 different Kingdoms battle each other in a real-time fashion to take control of strategic points on the map.

Kingdom Capitol

Just like any city requires a head of governance or governing body, Soul Divers is no different and this role is fulfilled by the Kingdom Capitol. The Kingdom Capitol has complete authority and power over the server whose Capitol it is. All players on the server are affected by the rules and decisions made by the Kingdom Capitol. The position of the Kingdom Capitol is taken by that Kingdom which is ranked Number 1 in the Kingdom ranking system. This can be achieved by amassing a large number of victories in the PvP game modes on the particular server. These rankings are calculated server to server and not overall. If players do not see the current Kingdom Capitol fit for rule and are frustrated by its policies, they have no other choice but to take the spot from them by overthrowing them in true medieval fashion.

Many players might be left unsatisfied with their current Kingdom and plan to leave it in order to gain better opportunities in other strong Kingdoms.
