Final Hope

See this unique, interesting, somewhat fun looking game...? This game is...

Really damned bad! And all the worse if you speak english. Nearly no one in the community speaks it, and you'll pretty much be playing a single player game the entire time.

I can't even completely imagine the game being great if you did speak Japanese or Taiwanese, as all I mostly did was loot trashcans, rubblepiles, and boxes. There are NPC's you can kill, but there's really nothing more to them then auto attacking them and maybe using some buffs. And you'd better dread getting injured, as nobody is going to help you and stop you from bleeding out.

Absolute cancer.

Final Hope

Very old style gameplay, the login is not too user friendly, but you get used to it especially if you used to play old games like those. On the top right, you will see the settings and set it to English for english users. Create an account by going on their website as well.

The game is somewhat fun although I cannot seem to find anyone... I mean in the lobby, there's a bunch of people, but reading through the game, it appears there are many NPC that looks like players, you can interact with them as well, but their names has weird symbols, probably due to Japanese language, some people talk, but you cannot tell if they are real or not as they type symbols as your pc seems to not be able to generate foreign keyboard letters.

Is the game worth 33$? I mean.. yes and no, if they add more into this game, fix the broken english and more then yeah go for it!

**Notes to Get Game to Run on English Machines at Bottom**
----
Game is highly underrated, game is a PERMADEATH cross between a PvE open world and a PvP battle royal more alike to the hunger games. Pick your class from sword/fist/trap maker/doctor and proceed to scavenge and craft all sorts of items from flip-flops to medicine, to a bomb! Normal game play goes as follows: The hub town in a safe zone that a player can rest in for an hour well using vendors and mingling with the community, after that hour or whenever you choose to leave the safe area you will be put onto a random map where you must survive for a half hour well getting exp and reputation every 10 minutes survived, for beating npcs/players and searching containers for items. Reputation is linked to your characters title among other small customisation based things. Combat is pretty easy with every class having tons of unique skills and weapons. Where the game starts to take a bit of dip is the obvious lack of English speaking players (not because of lag what so ever game runs amazing and lag free.) but via emotes it's easy enough to get your feelings/message across. All in all a good game IMO for someone who liked old Ragnarok Online style mmo's but want a more hunger games feel. If any players needs help getting accustomed to the game I'm online often as JohnSilver just ask away.

The game will not run on an English machine unless you navigate to your program files/steam/steamapps/common/final hope folder inside you will find a GameSetting.exe file run this and set ONLY your language to English and click the left side huge button to apply. After this in the same folder you should see Client.exe right click this go into options than compatibility and set it to Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode and the game will launch no problem, from the login page you can choose settings in the top right and set the rest of your settings but 1 warning if you set the game to full screen and alt+tab out of full screen the game will bug out.

i messed around with the settings a bunch and now i can't launch the game. it simply does not work anymore. those were some very enjoyable 2.6 hours, but i feel like i've tried everything and my problem is unsolveable.

tl;dr:
game is unstable as hell

edit: they fixed the problem. now i can get back to being confused/intrigued by everything in this crazy game

So they re's a bunch of things that this game needs and honestly i could rate it negative or positive and neither of them would feel like a wrong rating. For now, I'm rating it positive because its still being improved on.

The English Translation is extremely bad!!!!

The game itself is partially fun but the worst case about the game is that when you enter an area you can be attacked by other players and your character can be permanently murdered forcing you to log out delete the character and make a new one or stop playing all together. I've noticed it doesnt happen as much because players in the community, when they find out about this hunt the character down and basically get rid of them but they cant be in the game wherever they go and because many players are not english speakers... it wont go well.

They're so much to include like the synthesis system and how to make yuan (currency in game) thats confusing.

I would severely recommend english players hold off on buying this unless having multilingual skills. Otherwise you will feel the game is a waste of time.

I find this game quite enjoyable, it is the first mmo I've played in a long time and the feeling of suspense knowing that when your out there in the concrete jungle at any moment a beefed up player could come and kick your stuff in is exciting. Bit sad that clothing seems to be genderlocked, so no cute boys wearing maid outfits, hope that gets fixed!
