Mythical Beast
Canaan Online Review
Before I register an account of gPotato.eu’ Canaan Online, I have read some of press release about this game, and what is more, I have played some time In Chinese version in 2009. With curiosity and passion, I began to play the English version Canaan Online, also known as China’s 2009 most popular webgame.
At the first glimpse, I saw the lovely Japan-styled characters. Actually, I am a fan of Japanese comics, so the graphics stuck me deeply— Maps, Monsters, Beasts, and the magic skills.
Being a player with much experience on playing various MMORPG titles, I haven’t seen such game playable in my FireFox browser. Basically, the game has exceeded my expectation and did shock me a bit. I couldn’t believe a game that is based on web Flash can achieve no less than typical 2D, or 2.5D MMORPG. I was really amazed by its presentation and stunning graphics. This title is simply amazing.
Super Low Game Configuration
Unlike a typical MMORPG, which may require you to have high-configured computer or specific graphic card, or processor to run, “Canaan Online ” simply needs the basic internet connection and a web browser that supports JAVA and integrated with FLASH. So, this doesn’t limit when or where you can enjoy this title. Now, that’s definitely a plus for me!
Cute & Magical Fighting Pet
One of the key feature that left me with deep impression is the pet system in the game. I, personally, is fanatic about a big pet system and have seen quite similar pet features on other MMORPGs. However, the pets in “Canaan Online” still gives me great impression.
My character is a female warrior, having a most common pet—little Elf. The Elf is Very Cute, like your typical “Lolita” look. As I encountered group of monster in the game, my Elf automatically assisted me in the battle. This actually makes me level up playing, more exciting and gives me the variety of tactics that I can use. Certainly, it even gives me time to chat with my party members. Sweet! What a nice feature for me when I get lazy.
Based on the developer’s description, pet, is a core element of “Canaan Online”. Each player can take maximum of 3 pets in a battle. One will fight along with you side by side, the other two pets will fight next to you as support with black/white magic. You can also breed and upgrade your pets to increase their abilities and skills. Pets can even level up higher than the player’s character. With this game design, player will not get bored with simple level up grinding, and adds different tactics on the battle.
Flashy & “In” gear and AVATAR
Besides pet system, another attraction for “Canaan” is the AVATAR feature. For player who likes to customize their characters a lot, I think you will find this game addicting and spend much time on it. Since the game supports 3D model rendered to 2D, so it gives you a more realistic feeling.
Regardless of your class warriors, rangers, wizard, or other professions, you will find great fun in customizing your characters with various equipments. In addition, all equipments and weapons can be forged and upgraded. So, that’s definitely a plus for you AVATAR fan out there!
A Fight System that’s even for Couch Potatoes!
With all these feature said, let’s talk about game play a bit. Personally, I am a bit lazy person. I usually don’t find a game with great complexity of control friendly, and I don’t have a great deal of time to learn it. Luckily, “Canaan” saves that trouble for me. Many features only require one simple click or simple control and input. So, while I am having a battle with the monsters on my quest, I can still chat with my friends easily in the game. That’s a great feature for a lazy and greedy player like me. I can level up and socializing in “Canaan” at the same time.
Besides the game play control, the game also showed me stunning visual effects. We also shouldn’t leave the splendid game special effect behind: whether it’s the burning fire ball, flowing ice arrow or raving Whirlwind will all blow your mind away. Certainly, it still can’t be compared to 3D games, but being a 2D game, this one is really awesome!
Conclusion
Overall, based on its visual graphics, I consider this FLASH online game “Canaan” as pretty top notch under the browser game category. It offers what most of people seek in a MMORPG, whether it’s battle, pet breeding, grouping, quest, community, avatar, and equipment customizing. But, there are still some minor tweaks that need to improve, and hopefully, XPEC can improve these things during open/closed Beta with testers’ feedback. In conclusion, this is still a recommended title that people should try. I think you will enjoy this alternative Flash online web game.
About Canaan Online
Explore the adventurous world together with your friends! You will encounter mythical beasts and there are numerous quests to have …
Canaan is a massively multiplayer online game that you can just play in the browser, without downloading a client. To the browser game in a manga style to be able to start, you just need a current Flash Player.
What is at stake in the game? Canaan is one of several worlds, who created the gods. Although it is just the land of Canaan for 100 years, there have already been many wars. Four famous heroes have been called to their aid, therefore, to finally bring peace to the country: the Ranger Kalika, Heineger the magician, the shaman and finally Emil Valhalla, the warriors. Their task was to find the divine beasts, with which they were ordained to open the gate – a gate that leads into a legend, a peaceful world.
In its mission, however, is something wrong. The king of Canaan, died and the heroes were attacked. It is not clear whether they all survived. Although it was later quietly in the land of Canaan, but the church still put together a new expedition, which will finally open the gate ordained. Among the many young adventurers who venture on this mission, can now include you.
There are so many exciting quests and danger, of course, on you. But you’ll also meet friends with whom you jointly tackle the challenge. Together, perhaps it creates actually lead the people of Canaan for ever in a peaceful world. Among other things, it is important to track down the ancient “The Book of ideals”, which has the power to open the gate to paradise.
