Seven hearts is not a new game but it's worth a peak. Since the original ROSE system evolved, this game became an alternative even though it's just a private server. But will it be able to satisfy our gaming urges? Seven Hearts is a private-owned game that runs on donations (with reward items). The game is 100% free to play and has no limitations besides the donation items. At first glance, it looks like FLYFF or Scions of Fate but it plays differently in many aspects. Graphics 9/10 The graphics of this game is so versatilte, there are many ways to adjust it to synchronize it to your computer specs. No matter what your settings maybe, the game looks decent at least and breathtaking at most. If you favor realism, this game may not be for you but the 'cutesy-fantasy-please cuddle me' graphics excel in this game. Sounds 7/10 The sounds are not bad either. The fantasy feel is always there. It's sometimes nostalgic specially if you have played console RPGs. There are times that the music is too repetitive but you can't help but to switch it on once in a while. On the other hand, the sounds effects are average in this one. Gameplay 9/10 The game has been around for a while and is a product of good gameplay. The game is pretty well balanced all through out. Classes excel at different things and there are also many types of builds (of both stats and skills) you can experiment on. There are various features in the game that you sink your time in. Of course, it includes the usual training for exp. Besides that, you can do quests, kill bosses, craft and vend as well. Other features are: cart system, party level system, guild bases/areas, faction, wars and events. Since this is a private server, we do expect high exp rates, like most private servers having even over 30x the normal exp rate. But this game offers 3 times only (35 times on pk server). This is actually good specially for new players. It's enough to help players in learning the game without making it too slow for pro players of the game. The server also offers exclusive items that you can only see on the server. Which is great since we don't want a regular ROSE server Learning Curve 8/10 The basics of the game is easy to learn specially of a typical mmorpg gamer. But some things in the game might be confusing like knowing where to go and getting there since at first, you walk really slow. Because of these reasons you will probably spend about 1-2 hours learning the game. You will also commit a mistake or two. Community 9/10 The community is small but very active. Small compared to regular servers but for a private server, this community is not bad. The size of the community is enough to meet people every once in a while but sometimes you'd wish you'd meet more clerics to buff you... but if you did, most clerics (high levels) are nice enough to buff you without asking. Overall the community is nice, you'd meet one or two douchebags sometimes but it's not really worth worrying about. Overall 8/10 The game is solid, it passes all standards of a typical MMORPG (if not, it surpasses them). The only gamers that will not like this game are those who prefer realistic graphics but other than that, it sits just well as a well made MMORPG. You'd often forget your playing in a private server.
