If you played the original Silkroad Online, don't even try it on Android

Silkroad Online was a true MMO that it was able to have in its midst tens of thousands of players in those days of World of Warcraft and Guild Wars for PC; a few years ago yes ...

Now it returns to mobiles, but totally converted into one of these MMOs in which nothing more than you are a mere spectator and your actions are almost a few taps. Come on, for that they automate even the need to have a person "playing" this game. Nefarious turn, to tell the truth.

And yes, you can play on your own ...

But for what? In other words, you can go from automating the attack or going to the missions to do them and then receive the rewards, but you already have those options by default, so you are going to do it manually. Thus they take away all the grace they may have one of these games.

And if we already talked about Silkroad Online, turn off and let's go. This game is one of the examples of why freemium is "killing" titles that in the past were very liked. Nor are we going to say anything that Silkroad Online was a pure grinder in which it was difficult to level up, but at least you controlled your player, you decided to go here and there and you had to be very smart so as not to fall into the clutches of another player.

On Silkroad Online for Android they throw away everything that made famous to this game to turn it into a kind of headless zombie that we do not even know where it is going. We suppose that it must be easy to create a game in which the interaction almost does not go through the player but is done by the "machine".

Silkroad Online or what was

And although Silkroad Online has good graphics, it is not that they have worked it out. Surely you will remember that beautiful soundtrack from the PC version. Here we have it, but the technical disaster is of such magnitude that we will come to hate it at certain times.

With that we don't mean it's a bad game, but if we compare it to the original ... Anyway, you can create your character in the Asian style, have your mount, develop skills and equip your character to be more powerful.

The combat is in 3D and the camera can be moved to take the best perspective of the game that we will not play, since it is more comfortable to put the auto-attack and then hit the missions so that our character goes directly to them. Come on what it almost looks more like a mini movie in which we are only spectators. You can even play by eating popcorn ...

Not that way

What we mean is that it is a sacrilege that they do this with Silkroad Online. And come on, they had it easy, since the first one was not a great talent at a graphic level, but that thing about the caravans and the bandits had his own. On Android they have had the possibility of bringing a real MMO, but they have been light years away from what Silkroad Online was. Now let's cross our fingers that Diablo Inmortal isn't something like that...

Technically highlights the unbeatable soundtrack and those graphics. But the desynchronization of the sound, that neither the effects sound, that there is lag in a Galaxy S10 + and the occasional outrage, is inadmissible. Hopefully they will solve it in those updates that have to fall, but at first, detestable.

If you played the first Silkroad Online like the one who writes, get ready not to wish you had tried it, since we are facing what this Android game should never have been. A shame, because there was a lot of desire to enjoy a massive MMO in which to take our caravan down the silk road ... It will be in the next one or with other games that do well.
