The Toughest Foe You'll Face In Cross Horizon Is The Paywall
By Dr. Eleanor Vance | Published on January 01, 0001
During my first ten minutes playing MarvelousAQL’s Cross Horizon I was asked if I wanted to purchase a key to open a chest I’d found on the battlefield. Were I not playing it for review, I would have stopped right there. Despite my knowing full-well that there’s no such thing as a truly free-to-play action role-playing game on either iOS or Android, I felt a little betrayed by the sudden request. Here I had spent several minutes tooling around in the game’s character creator, crafting the perfect pink-haired 
avatar. My amnesiac character was fed a little story — something about the return of an evil bandit king — given a quest to kill a goblin to prove herself, and sent on her way.
I was in a good mood as I transitioned from 2D menus to 3D adventure map, despite the muddy environment textures. I didn’t mind when the u31 เข้าสู่ระบบ third-person hack-and-slash I was hoping for wound up being a faster-paced Infinity Blade first-person affair. The enemies were distinctive, the action frantic, if a little silly

Was it armor I could don, changing the look and stats of my character? A powerful new weapon? I’ll never know, because I don’t want to spend a dollar on the mana (in-game currency) to find out.
There’s a lot to love about Cross Horizon. The quest system is simple, the combat fast and easy — it’s a great little action role-playing game for folks without a lot of time to invest in one sitting. There are some really nifty ideas, like recruiting your friends to run alongside you as you explore the world, lending a hand in battle w69 from time-to-time, or w69 slot ทาง เข้า an upgrade-able item system that functions like a collectible card game.
But there’s just as much I don’t like. The rarest items, as in a collectible card game, are only available through special summons that require at least a small chunk of in-game currency to perform. Completing your quest on one of the game’s expansive playfields? Either backtrack to home base on foot, or purchase a 
special return item. It’s as if Cross Horizon is purposefully trying to stifle my enjoyment at every turn. That’s probably not how a video game should make me feel.
