MapleStory is a 2D, side-scrolling MMORPG that immerses players in a large, beautifully animated world. The art style is definitely anime, and this establishes a tone that’s particularly fantasmic in nature. Players create their own avatar, customizing their appearance, combat class, stats, etc. and then use this character to explore Maple World. On their adventures, players will come across many different environments, filled with a bounty of monsters to fight and items/gear to collect. Players will also enter a series of towns/villages where they’ll be able to shop, find quests, join guilds, and interact with a large community of other players. The ultimate goal of the game, like many MMORPGs, is to level up your avatar to max stats, complete all quests, and simply live out a fantasy life online for your enjoyment. A long-standing staple of the MMO genre, MapleStory is a must-play for fans of fantasy.
