games visually similar to maplestory 2?

im so hyped about ms 2 but it doesnt seem like its coming anytime soon so i want something to hold me over until then.
ive been so excited about it i tried returning to ms 1 (big mistake)
are there any games visually similar out there that i just dont know about?
im also open to 2D ones similar to maple besides the regulars (latale, wondering R.I.P, grand chase)
the closest one i could find visually similar to ms 2 was spirit tales but it was a desolate wasteland with no players last time i played it..

dragon saga is the closest thing I can come up with, but it's probably super dead

Maybe Wakfu?[/quote]

Wakfu doesn't look anything like ms 1 or 2

I'm hype for MS2 mostly cause it'll be a fresh start for everyone and the gameplay looks nice. And I want to steal some good IGNs early.

[quote=Omniscient1]@Riku0020: You don't like the looks bc it has bad graphics. Guaranteed if this was Final Fantasy or ESO type of graphic style. Majority of the haters would be jumping the bandwagon. In fact when they first saw that trailer that showed really good graphic style before the official trailer came out. Tons of people thought MS2 was going to be really good. Hence the main reason why you don't like it is because it has bad graphics.[/quote]

lol dude you dont have to convince this guy to like the game.
thats just a little less lag from an overcrowded server to me
i actually hope the game has a lot of haters. just means less people on the class i want to play, less people ksing you when the game first starts out, ect ect.
if he doesnt like it, let him. thats just more good igns for the people that actually WANT to play.
plus, 9/10 the people who are jumping on the game hating bandwagon are gonna be there on the first day playing the game so they can play it, say they played it, and talk more trash.
you dont need to mind them. just play the game because it seems fun to you.

I still wouldn't play it because it doesn't change the fact that its in a cube world, that's my main problem with it. Don't know where you keep getting this notion of I hate bad graphics. I previously stated that that's not the issue.

[quote=Omniscient1]@Riku0020: You do know that MS did not start the whole 2D idea right? You also know that MapleStory right now is dying very quickly. If they remade the game in 2D then it won't be any different than the original MS we have now. In which case the game would be a deadzone and wasted money. No going back into pre-bb era won't bring the population back if you're going to post that. It was time for a change and risks to be taken. How are they even competing with other 3D mmos anyway? You honestly think they will compete with square enix or Blizzard? Lmao no they are going to do there own route and the game will be immensely popular (just because it's by Nexon and it's MapleStory) despite the fact right now people don't like the blocky look. As explained earlier it has much better content than the current MS has just by allowing players to design there own clothing.

By having actual pvp modes and guild competitions and a unique housing system. This game will actually have a challenge and take more skill than MS1 has atm. Instead of spamming potions and one shotting bosses with your 2m-2m damage range crap. It also won't be extreme pay 2 win due to the fact there won't be any miracle cubes in the game. At least not for a long time. Anyways this argument going no where. You don't like the new MS looks that's fine. You have the right to your opinion. I was only commenting on the fact that you think since a game has bad graphics then the game itself must suck. Plenty of games out there old school and new school games that have bad graphics are on very popular still.[/quote]

Where did I say I don't like games with bad graphics? I only said I don't like the way THIS game looks.

[quote=Omniscient1]@Riku0020: Have you watch any of the recent gameplay? The ones on twitch during the CBT? It's like an actual mmo now. You actually need people to boss and what not. You don't spam one key all the time and spam pots everywhere to be invincible and one shot bosses. Anyways I don't mean to start a whole argument here. I was just pointing out how funny it is that you think it's a bad game bc the graphics are not FFXIV type of graphics. To each their own. You can hate or like any game you want.[/quote]

MS should have stayed 2D, now it has to compete with other MMO's which are by far better. If you like it that's fine just thought I would put my 2 cents out there.

@Razormana Hit the nail right on the head.

yes it is but it's called a different name. Same game but different name. It's soul savor online. Not many people play it though.

@razormana: the graphics is the art style lmao. I don't really like the way the game looks either but MS2 has a load more content and potential to be far better than MS1 in gameplay wise anyway. The pvp modes, guild pvp, and customization options in the game make the game far more worthwhile than MS1 is. Just watch the recent CBT gameplay on channelonion twitch streams and you will see how the game is like.

@Omniscient1
Just saying, but he never said graphics, he said he didn't like how it looked, which most likely meant art style, which if he did, i agree i hate the ms2 art style.

OT:// Pretty much any game you find by googling "Chibi" -insert style of game here- looks similar to ms2.

Yes, its bad because I PERSONALLY would never play something that looks like that. Also I quit maple a long time ago, I put IMO in my previous comment for a reason. I've seen gameplay of the game and to me its worse than MS.

Dont waste your money on Cube world, its been abandoned by its creator. The game hasnt been updated since 2013....what a shame it had such potential.

im waiting for Tree of Savior, I find maplestory very unique, but other similiar 2d games I cannot enjoy as much as maplestory. Even though I don't play global maple anymore.
