Vindictus is a hack and slash massive multiplayer online role-playing
game created by devCAT, an internal studio of Korean free-to-play
game publisher Nexon. Vindictus is a prequel to the
popular MMORPG Mabinogi and is known as Mabinogi Heroes outside of North America.
Vindictus takes place in the same setting used in Mabinogi, but is placed chronologically several hundred years prior to the first
game during a period of war and strife. Nexon America, Nexon's North
American division, announced the new name on March 12, 2010 at the
Game Developers' Conference in San
Francisco.
Combat System
Vindictus will be using the Source engine to allow players to interact extensively with the environment. Environmental objects can be destroyed or picked up and wielded as weapons. Combat is described as "kind of brutal,
like a bullfight," and will require a lot of teamwork.
Classes
Vindictus' "Classes" and "characters" are one and the same. When beginning the game, players have a choice to play as one of three characters, each of which has different combat skills and abilities. Players are free to alter certain aspects of their character's appearance, but basic abilities and combat styles are set at character creation. They are gender-locked.
