If they added some sort of "posture" or stun mechanic to combat it Will feel a lot better. I'm actually fine with the lack of true combos since it separates itself from games. But I won't lie it can be overwhelming and annoying. Especially fighting the last boss where he literally just won't stand still long enough to hit (melee user) with the Ravenna captain if you parry'd and blocked correctly that allowed for you to weave in hits and dodge back out. With the fame system yeah it's a bummer picking a certain side and being able to hire npcs to your crew or do entire story lines (as a navy member you can't do the assassin stuff at all) but that's kinda...the point? Like if you pick the good role you can't do bad stuff. But I remember being told if you get a bounty you can't do positive quests to lower it,you just have to go to jail and cry about it which does suck. It does suck that entire stat is currently useless and hybrid builds literally can't do half of the moves they were promised though. Like unless you go full points into one stat you can't use your ultimate arts, can't customize and can't even use certain styles. I think that should be the next focus in the new update. Making sure the level cap is high enough for hybrids to do their thing. LET VITALITY EXIST :(((. and also give something for guns. I almost forgot they exist but I don't think guns have styles or abilities yet.
It makes it horrible, it actually makes the game run bad and ruins the story. Isn’t nostalgic because it’s janky…their style of combat was never janky.
@@Gr0ot I dont see how it makes the game "run bad" and "ruins the story" as the adventuring part of the story was really fun for me, to discover new things, unless you arent the type of person who dont happen to get happiness from actually adventuring or even finding new things.
Ay man I appreciate you putting in the effort to make this video! It’s nice to hear actual thoughtful commentary without random dragging bs. I’m surprised you only have 11k subscribers for the quality of your videos. Looking forward to seeing more from you!
I think the greatest point about Arcane Odyssey is the Story. We can really see that Vetex is actually building a solid world and plot, the scenes are so cool, the characters have personality, damn the last scene before meeting the final boss was just EPIC. I would play the game just to know what the story is about tbh.
Can’t wait for when the story is actually finished, I found it pretty standard and generic so fair so hopefully it’ll become more unique in the future.
Its sad to say that AO is the last part of the Arcane Universe, to learn the WHOLE story up to the AO, check the trello, vetex has the lore/story doc in there. It shows from the beginning to the current timeline (AO) but doesnt show spoilers for the FUTURE AO storyline
@Detective WoM story is not physically demanding towards the player character meaning story is basically impossible as the magic council take care of bad guys, there isn’t much story to go around.
It's just a game. Like a real game. Which I think puts a lot of Roblox players in a loop. Like people aren't used to it. During release there were a lot of players complaining that it wasn't fun getting xp and levels because all they did was do that repeatable spire pirates quest, ignoring the 7 other ways to get XP and just playing the game like brainwashed bandit beaters. It was funny but also really sad to see. I also think it hasn't been praised enough is the monetization practices. They're really healthy ATM. Literally just cosmetics and to pay to make global messages. There's no "Pay 2000 robux for ace's boat to go to the next mid bandit beater island faster because we didn't create any content besides devil fruit and swords!" As long as the game continues getting updates and level caps so hybrid classes can enjoy their builds better. AO will stay winning.
@@uhoh1321 that’s good to know this is my first one of his games and he’s already my favourite dev on Roblox and favourite game on Roblox since the Wild West so I was hoping that nothing would end up p2w
The simple fact that there is basically prejudice/racism towards a people of a town on one island to explain why it it is so empty and darker looking is a cool bit of world building. I like seeing places like that as it hints towards the darker side of the island you are at before you learn about in depth about it
One thing I'd mention: before you start a villain file, play through the game as a hero. You'll discover a lot of little backwater towns and coves and stuff that have stuff that can help villains. Villains can be difficult sometimes, but vetex realized this and put some useful hidden paths for you to use as one. Also, most guards in towns don't attack you- but will if they have to. Usually only the navy will attack you and will send parties of marines after you to take you down. The villain route is arguably harder, but a lot more fun.
@@Tobilolz you can destroy someone's boat pretty easily if they try to run even if it's a reinforced boat cause of how much damage the higher level cannons and explosive shells do along with some of the battering rams
I actually really like the combat, people say it's quite junky but really didnt feel it like that, when you start to get more into the movement it is really fast and cool, although something i don't like is how easily the environment gets destroyed during boss fights and it becomes very frustrating getting stuck all the time
I just think the combat heavily relies on movement and AOE damage. As it is really hard to hit someone who is constantly dashing with anything that doesn't have a huge AOE. Another thing i hate is how all styles and magics have the same moves that also have very little customization to them, It makes it feel shallow and not very fun so i am hoping it isn't the same with lost and ancient magic/styles.
@@billybob5553 magics and fighting styles are meant to be the same and have little stats difference but you have lost spells and magic edits to make your magic unique
@@kauan5581 Lost spells are really few right now if i am not wrong there is just a single one, And the edit system is lacking like crazy. At most you can change the AOE and animation of the spell. except the Q ability if you go full mage/berserker for style.
The weirdest part to me is that enjoyable, immersing games like this on roblox is not getting as much traction or attention as the money grabbing games. This game has a ton of positive videos and feedback yet doesn’t even achieve at least 10k players on a daily basis. It makes me believe people prefer to play money grabbers. I was expecting this video to have super harsh criticism or mindless AO slander but this was a great and honest video.
Thank you so much for the super chat! I genuinely think that arcane odyssey is one of the greatest if not the greatest roblox game I’ve played recently and I had to give it its flowers 💪🏾
Remember the game has ''Early Access'' for a reason but the first week of playing this game been a blast to me, a open world rpg game with story telling. this game is amazing
another cool thing: if you noticed, in armories, the weapons or armors of other players can be there if they sold them. so if a friend sold some kind of weapon to an armourer, you can buy it. im sure it will become more noticeable if theres more players in your server. pretty cool thing to add.
Honestly, I like the game, but I wish you had a but more info about making spells. Besides that, and Elius, and the fact that I can't find any weapons in armories and have to randomly pick em out from chests, I like it!
@@kikokuzu3594 I know, but it doesn't tell you how damaging the spell will be. Just tells you how big it will be or whatever. Knowing it's damage would be SOO useful
@Bonkjima o figured that out. Been using really small magic lately. Though the only reason I beat elius was because he hlitched and just died in the island.
My biggest criticism so far is the unexpected rise in difficulty when you reach Cirrus and start dealing with the whatchamacallit order. Specifically Elius. The enemies start doing so much damage, and it feels like you do so little. And the terrain destruction is just more frustrating than fun. Constantly gets in the way of movement. Besides that and the lagginess of blocking, it's aight. Kinda like combat warriors almost.
@@dominicballinger6536 I like the game but my least favourite part is how slow everything is (in terms of transport) I’m at the point in the game where I’m grinding to lvl 75 to keep doing the story and my friend is doing the sky quests and Elias. It takes so long just to get to the stepstones not to mention you can’t manually despawn your ship. It’s so painful when your a lvl 68 getting wiped by high lvl npc marines or pirates or actual people and then taking 10 more minutes going from sailors lodge to the stepstones just to die again. (I’m using a caravel btw)
@Leo Burnley I can see that, though I just got frustrated a bit ago trying to kill the snow mage on Cirrus a couple times. He just spams way too much tbh, and his movement makes landing anything a nightmare.
In my opinion, the best part of the game is its focus on being dynamic. From the dynamic terrain that changes to the dynamic moral system, the team clearly valued player choice, freedom and expression. My favorite moment was when me and my friend were grinding on an island for items and a pirate captain with triple our levels walked up and tried to fight us. Through liberal use of cheese we killed him to little reward. I was disappointed until not only the in-universe newspaper thanked my character for catching a criminal, but that the exact same criminal was then executed in a nearby town. The game didn't reward me with XP and gold but in a dynamic change in the world that responded to my actions. And that type of reward done well stays in players minds way longer than 2000 EXP ever could.
ngl i dont like most roblox youtubers and i dont follow them but u gotta be one of the most engaging fun to watch channels out there, and the fact that u talk with your communitys also amazing good work man
Thanks for the encouraging words my guy! I try to interact with my community as much as possible since truly I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the people who support me 💪🏾
It's such a different thing compared to most Roblox games, and I remember playing it when it was World of Magic. It was really fun and me and my friend just constantly got into the prison. Anyways, I find that it's like a stand-alone game, something you'd find on steam or somewhere else. 11/10 experience.
@Red Haired Rando yeah, I mean I got to move past him only because he glitched SO badly, he just up and died out of nowhere. I've yet to actually kill him at all. I should probably try again now that I'm level 70, but I don't have high hopes.
Thank you for making such a video, I've seen a lot of people complain about the game and combat and not giving a damn about everything else it has to offer. Seeing a video such as yours reminds me of how good it is and how much fun I have playing it. One of the things I fell in love the most was the story, I did not see it coming and it feels fantastic, not to mention the tiny bits of story the islands have, which makes it a lot more immersive. Thank you!
Imma be real I think the combat is really cool. I personally don't like the way magic is cause you're stuck in place til you've used the spell but the fighting styles and weapon abilities so far are so much fun to use and mess around with. Especially fighting styles for me. I been using iron leg and got the lost technique of axe kick for my iron leg and that crap actually looks so dope. You literally send out a wave of shockwaves in the form of a kick. PLUS IT'S LONG RANGE. Overall the game is amazing already, the story is nice, the drip is peak, the waifus (yes people simping already for a few of the female characters), I just know this game is def Vex's greatest work. If this is just the first sea and is already THIS good I can only imagine what else will come into play later. I'm personally excited for both the lost fighting styles and too see more of the... bad guys. (not gonna spoil)
Honestly moves keeping you in the position is really good. Otherwise you would NOT be hitting anyone, without attacks stopping you attack size would have much more need in combat as you literally cannot attack people. You gotta just wait and punish opponents.
honestly, this game for being early access is incredibly polished and well made, there's some glitches here and there (like ships being flung but that's mainly cuz roblox) but everything else about the game completely counters the glitches, the story is not super long but not short enough that you can do it under 10 minutes either, and there's a ton of side content you can do to keep you playing the game on just one slot for 20-30 hours before you're actually maxed out, i honestly think with future updates this game will definitely become the successor to arcane adventures and will become one of the all time best games on roblox
What's more crazy is that this ain't even the state the early access was supposed to be, vetex had to release it earlier than planned. How the ea would've looked like we can see with the first update. As the dark sea and potions were supposed to be added for example
Lord Elius showed me the real depth of the combat with blocking and parrying making fights fun to practice. And even though people say combat sucks it doesn't have anything less than most other combat in features but the customization allows one to control what strengths and weaknesses they have which has way more depth than combat games aside things like magic properties and weapon arts.
Combat has some endlag but the story and adventure aspects of the game has insane depth and its crazy on how many details there are, also getting on agora news is epic because you can brag it to your friends lol
The dark sea came out like a month ago, though it felt like a breath of fresh air it was hiding behind several hours of grinding, as you NEED the brigantine to explore it properly, which costs _20 thousand galleons_ (the second biggest ship costs 3 thousand btw) so its about 5 hours of grinding. Though I'm amazed by the fact that it allows you to experience pretty much everything without needing to grind for 60 hours (cough cough, blox fruits, cough cough) and even though the combat can feel really weird some times and the terrain destruction is definetly the worst mechanic of the game, I do not regret playing 155 hours
I didnt even know this was based on One Piece game, i didn't even watch One Piece at all. Didnt even know what bandit beater is. I just played Arcane Oddysea because i just typed RPG in Roblox and i stumble upon this game. Glad i played this game before knowing all that Bloxy Fruit and other copy bullshits because Arcane Oddysea is forever in my heart and always be.
I love how well thought out/made the video was. Definitely earned my sub. Don't mind this, but I really needed to ask.. Are you black? No hate, I myself am African
my favorite thing is just raiding ships and turning in chests, literally SO satisfying and SO rewarding, but a major combat overhaul would do WONDERS for the game, like it really sucks to get stuck in place while charging a spell, i cant even shoot other ships while moving on my own bruh, i'm left flying while my ship goes away and its the same for MELEE COMBAT?? I think a complete combat overhaul would be great, but if Vetex can change this ONE thing it will be a huge step up already.
I remember playing the game when it was still called World of Magic. I feel like the game has gone through a major change, one that is even bigger than I imagined, but in a good way.
As an player who played the first Arcane Game, i really love this type of games cause its original and different of the type of game who is actually in the platform, i really enjoyed Vetex games and this one is my top favorite Favorites games actually in Roblox.
I actually like the boss fight in this game the first time I encounter the king calvus I think I'd never beat him solo cuz he look so overpower but then I try to solo it again and again and finally I can solo him and it so feel so satisfying
i think man forgot the worst thing about the game is the fame grinding and treasure hunting like jebus, i spent 1 hour doing some treasure chart for the worst loot imaginable and 1 sealed chest
I don't know what they did to make a painful endless grind like a fishing minigame fun. Maybe the scenery brings tranquility, but it is relaxing and exciting when you get something big.
The game overall is very well made, and you are right about the PvP people do over 300 damage while air stalling which is horrible, and meta builds you have to fight them with pure concentration to beat them.
FOR THE PEOPLE SAYING THE COMBAT IS BAD- Arcane Odyssey's combat isn't for everyone and that's just how it is as it is for most games. It's not based on Blox Fruits, it's an entirely different type of combat genre I like to call "Movement based Combat" meaning that you have to able to hit your shots while dodging an opponents attacks in an open space. It not being a True Combo type game makes it one of the best combat games I've ever played (True combo games are trash in general and people who say "first to land a combo m1 wins" type of games are good should go back to strongest battlegrounds). People that say; "the combat is what makes Arcane Odyssey unfun," most likely didn't get pass the Lord Elius boss fight or got farmed by another player for having a skill issue. The combat doesn't take away from the game at all, it's actually what makes it fun and engaging. Sure, it's hard to get a grip when you're new to the game but that's just how it is with most combat focused games Arcane Odyssey is good for a combat-focused RPG (it's not a pvp game nor a pve game) and people who say it's bad probably aren't good at it and/or don't realize you can block and parry by pressing (and holding) 'G'. For a beginner it'll feel jank but if they're willing to embrace the combat mechanics then they should get decent at it by the time they finish the unfinished campaign Personally, I love the combat. Probably because I played World Of Magic before vetex revamped it to Arcane Odyssey. It's not like Deepwoken and it's not like those battleground games. (And to the People saying Arcane Odyssey is copying Blox fruits... No, Arcane Adventures came first)
Fr, I hear people say the combat is clunky when they barely tried any of the mechanics (dodge reflex, 200 agility for teleport movement or attack speed to make your attacks more fluid) most of the time people complaining about the game barely ever played at all (let alone do serious combat).
This game feels like how arcane adventures was back in the day but better, and im here for it, absolutely loving the game and cant wait for more content (especially dark sea content).
Important word choice, the combat RESEMBLES Blox fruit. It does not play at all like blox fruit. It is a very fast and frenetic combat system if you fully engage in the systems given to you which some of the challenging bosses teach you.
I love this game because I used to play arcane adventures when i was younger and was playing shit games with friends on roblox, and I found this remake after arcane adventures broke due to an update. Im so glad its different while keeping the same type of feel. So nostalgic after so many years away
*_Lore got very juicy._* *_Combat is supposed to be skill-based. Also, the characters are made with emotion and soul, which is why people somehow loved the game._* Speaking of loot, I'm a hoarder of them all. *_I still wonder who's gonna buy it off me so I can hunt more gear for stat and drip._*
People say that AO is dead but alot of people tend to forget that the game is in early access, once the game has a full release and the Dark Sea is added for replayability I feel like the player count will be closer to what we saw at launch
This is a game what a roblox game should be. Almost every roblox game are copy of each other. No life grind, kill bandits 90% of the game, pay to win etc. but I hope this game changes something. Sadly, this type of games are not easy money for developers. Takes a lot of time to create and so little in game purchases that are not making player a god or not forcing player to buy for progress. I hope our developers get what they deserve. Only problems are Some classes/magics are unbalanced Bugs (not game breaking but sometimes makes rage especially on boss fights) Also, if they add a feature that we can harm every npc's and raid villages (like previous game, world of magic) would be so cool and fun but the problem is, this might be chaotic but there might be some ways to prevent it.
what i like is generally the in game news, if you do evil, and sink navy ships, the paper updates you get more bounty and people know you did something. same for heros, i did make the mistake of doing evil at the start and i may do hero, at times i get annoyed of having 10+ navy ships hitting me back to back but its kinda fun, i may try to take down criminals and see a hero sided part, but i do get a little joyful seeing in the paper that i sunk some navy ships and to be werry of my character.. just.. it makes me feel like i impacted the world. as for the combat.. the hits feel clunky at times, like you swing through your opponent and it dose not connect with weapons, but the combat ain't bad, i may try full mage next.. also the effects when you hit level 50-100 and your charge gets bigger.. i like that alot, makes you feel more powerful.
The one thing they absolutely need to add is a lock on system cause when your speed blitzing around the map is super hard to aim. And find the guy your finding.
There would be no more depth to the combat if vetex added lock on. No more prediction, punish, juking the enemy attacks if they're just gonna land their shot 0.1 second after you punish them.
Honestly. This is one best games which I ever played. I really feel like I enjoy by it. Story,boats,fight and everything other..Fight and explore is best part of game for me since it give like choice to make your way to play,plus since of story and etc it really rewards you with most important thing - fun.
People are really used to the m1 hitstun combat formula because its good and works but there have been other games that do this style of fighting and when its done well its fun, a good example of one that still has players is elemental battlegrounds. Having combat based on high mobility with large aoes and grabs is a fun change of pace from the normal anime fighting game combat formula. (personally I think blox fruits does this combat badly because its too air focused, when you have combat like this its better to keep it mostly grounded with high jumps and not have the ability to infinitely geppo or fly into the air)
Eyyy they removed the level locks!!! The only level lock now is the one to awaken after you beat calvus, wich is quite fair, thinking that its a process where you need to be strong, it makes sense.
Simple tips for beating bosses (spoilers) shura: use a gun or knife even if you dont wanna use weapons later on. iris: same as shura. elius: cannon fist spam / become lvl 80 or higher (i suggest you do both). general argos: ironskin potions, a good meal with horizon rosemary, any rare or exotic fish, and sky pumpkins, and cannon fist spam or pulsar spam or E move with any claw weapon. lady carina: ironskin potions and being at least lvl 110. king calvus: ironskin potions and getting a group of people to cheese him with bows or guns / 20 amount magic blast spam. prince revon: beat him to near death with your bare hands to assert dominance. This is all from personal experience so dont expect it too well.
Combat is very good, but it becomes good at like lvl 120+ because u can use better armor and stuff, your attacks become bigger and faster. Diff of lvl 118 and 120 is huge as hell
Arcane odyssey is best experience with a bunch of friends, I only progressed with a single friend as duos and ended up spending 30+ hours on the game for days
Appreciate the review on this super great game brother, the opinions and facts real match and mix up well in order to make the game shine to the players who doesn't know the game. But come on man, Lord ellius is hard? Man was a push over in my end.
the game has alot of underrated features, such as Conjurer Awakening as lightning user. Lightning paralyzes when it hits, making u unable to move. so if its applied to sword it will just keep creating room for free attacks the game itself is pretty good but bosses are rage
when arcane gets finished it will 100 percent be the best roblox pirate game i mean even at such an early stage when the story is still nowhere complete and so much stuff is missing i've found myself playing it for 50 hours and weirdly enough it actually got more fun after i hit the level cap and finished the current story
great video man, this is a perfect guide that highlights all the good and bad parts about AO. Very well structured and entertaining,earned a sub from me!
As somebody who played arcane adventures then world of magic I like the simple combat no one shot combos like aut no constantly doing the same quest for a week like blox fruits or other bandit beaters and interesting and engaging story lines from arcane adventures and the little story we got from world of magic tho and I can’t wait for the full release with all the content
I can understand the combat part, it can feel a little stale at times although Arcane Odyssey makes up for its weak points, with quests amazing story, the world etc. one issue, is more shown early game, because you have to watch some videos about the game to understand combat, due to the best parts of it being locked to late game, like fighting styles certain weapons, and higher tier spells, one thing is to utilize movement, dashing in the sky, lots or high jumps, getting high ground and Dodging constantly, there's only one more issue I have and it's that there is a massive difficulty curve in the last boss, which is important, and impossible to do solo as a casual player. But overall I love Arcane Odyssey
I just want to point that Vitalitity will be better when soul weapons come out, it will do more dmg depending on your Vitality, or at least that is what I understood
I really hope they fix the fighting. Cause like- in my opinion things are WAY too difficult. I think there needs to either be a hone in option or SOMETHING needs to buffed or nerfed. I'm level 122 and I cant beat anything under 50 without a LOT of difficulty. Like- I get you're supposed to combine abilities with other people, but as a shy person with social anxiety I think the game needs to be playable if you wanna go solo too. Or at least give clan or whatever more incentive to exist some how so that people will actually want people who are struggling with the game to join them, not ONLY THE BEST OF THE BEST.
PLEASE do a video on sealed chests, alot of people somehow just doesnt know about them(how?) and its a very important part of the game, especially for ships and sea navigation
The community playing with the global chat is one way for the game to gain profits since the community is a fun (atleast for now) You can look at the global chat and see people paying 1.5k robux to say the most inspiring qoutes then later one asking who is joe
U guys really think rating this game like it's the final version keep it in mind it's literally early access no beta no official release it's a early access and game works 100x better than most of the thr rohlox games istg imagine the upcoming updates within the game closer to being one of the most engaging games in roblox,
-----Exploration Spoiler----- Read at your own risk :) Yo, so I didn't know about this until today that near Ravenna there is a place called Akursius Keep and that place gives a slight prelude to the upcoming Dark Sea update. Entering the island, the environment changes from bustling to rather omnious and the sky changes from bright blue to dark with a red sun(?). There are also hallucinations and other stuff...its interesting, just visit that place. West of Ravenna if I recall correctly.
when I was beating Lord Elius, there's another player also fighting and i managed to make Elius go below half of his hp but that another player accidentally killed me. Here's the twist: I got respawned at full health, but Elius' hp remains the same. I therefore defeated the boss
This game is really good but don't forget about the bosses, they are a big difficulty spike and it's not fun to fight them. Overall best game I have ever played.
although people compare AO to other anime games on the website, to my knowledge, I do not think it is an anime game. It has similar features and gameplay to anime games out there but to my knowledge, I don't think it's an anime game or based off an anime game. edit: as an AA player (Arcane Adventures, an older similar game made by the same dev that is now broken), the combat is definitely weird and flawed, but it's quite relaxing to me and maybe some others. It has the same feeling as Arcane Adventures.
in my opinion, this game is good, and has a lot of content even if this is just the release, other roblox games ( mostly anime games) have no content in the release and so much bugs, but this game is pretty good, good customization, a good amount of elements so players dont feel like the same, good exploration, good graphics but not that good like TechyOP said: GPO and project slayers, and other small things that make the game feel nice, clean and cool
techy you should play when the dark sea update comes out later this month its going to have so much more content like new sea monsters siege weapons and lots more :)
There used to be a game called arcane adventures which is i think the original of this game, i remember playing a lot of it and having fun wrecking havoc
I dont even need to watch this video to know if arcane oddyssey is good i already know its good i watched this video because this mans videos are top teir
Alot of it was overexaggerated but yeah it is fun. This game beats every single one of them stupid one piece bandit-beaters in every single way (Yes, even the graphics, because unlike most games, they actually have a consistent theme). Definetly recommend and im really hyped for when the final release comes out.
Low key my biggest issue with arcane odyssey is the lack of explanation like I have to Google how to Sink ships and how to find sharks both which were super rng
If you're wondering about how long the story has ACTUALLY been going first part of the story took place in his third game : world of magic (nobody liked wom tbh it didnt have as much story as all the other arcane games) Then online fighting Then Arcane Adventures Then Arcane Odyssey vetex has been cooking roblox game lore for 4 seperate whole games worth of lore, thats crazy
another thing is the builds aren't so good even as of now but once the nimbus sea comes out the builds will be allot better and savant will become one of if not the best but still it may get a nerf later but as of now the builds are not balanced.
PLAY ARCANE ODYSSEY 😤
Jokes aside put in the comments how you feel about the game after a week of release?

Pretty good. I cant wait for the brewing update beacause not being able to instantly cure miself is pretty annoying. BUT GAME GOES CRAZY MAN
If they added some sort of "posture" or stun mechanic to combat it Will feel a lot better. I'm actually fine with the lack of true combos since it separates itself from games. But I won't lie it can be overwhelming and annoying. Especially fighting the last boss where he literally just won't stand still long enough to hit (melee user) with the Ravenna captain if you parry'd and blocked correctly that allowed for you to weave in hits and dodge back out. With the fame system yeah it's a bummer picking a certain side and being able to hire npcs to your crew or do entire story lines (as a navy member you can't do the assassin stuff at all) but that's kinda...the point? Like if you pick the good role you can't do bad stuff. But I remember being told if you get a bounty you can't do positive quests to lower it,you just have to go to jail and cry about it which does suck. It does suck that entire stat is currently useless and hybrid builds literally can't do half of the moves they were promised though. Like unless you go full points into one stat you can't use your ultimate arts, can't customize and can't even use certain styles. I think that should be the next focus in the new update. Making sure the level cap is high enough for hybrids to do their thing. LET VITALITY EXIST :(((. and also give something for guns. I almost forgot they exist but I don't think guns have styles or abilities yet.
Goated game although im kinda biased since Arcane Adventures was my favorite childhood game. Vetex deserves all the love tho.
The combat looks like combat in OG games, and it makes game really nostalgic, relaxing. I mean I don't need to grind hours to continue exploring.
It makes it horrible, it actually makes the game run bad and ruins the story.
Isn’t nostalgic because it’s janky…their style of combat was never janky.

I think the greatest point about Arcane Odyssey is the Story. We can really see that Vetex is actually building a solid world and plot, the scenes are so cool, the characters have personality, damn the last scene before meeting the final boss was just EPIC. I would play the game just to know what the story is about tbh.
Can’t wait for when the story is actually finished, I found it pretty standard and generic so fair so hopefully it’ll become more unique in the future.
Its sad to say that AO is the last part of the Arcane Universe, to learn the WHOLE story up to the AO, check the trello, vetex has the lore/story doc in there. It shows from the beginning to the current timeline (AO) but doesnt show spoilers for the FUTURE AO storyline
Funi peacekeeper and rip Theos may you rest in piece
@Detective honestly the story is not the best but the progression is good
@Detective WoM story is not physically demanding towards the player character meaning story is basically impossible as the magic council take care of bad guys, there isn’t much story to go around.
Vetex’s revenue comes from rich people spamming global messages every minute

@@TechyOP_ all the devs spamming global messages instead of doing their job smh
Facts man
It's just a game. Like a real game. Which I think puts a lot of Roblox players in a loop. Like people aren't used to it. During release there were a lot of players complaining that it wasn't fun getting xp and levels because all they did was do that repeatable spire pirates quest, ignoring the 7 other ways to get XP and just playing the game like brainwashed bandit beaters. It was funny but also really sad to see. I also think it hasn't been praised enough is the monetization practices. They're really healthy ATM. Literally just cosmetics and to pay to make global messages. There's no "Pay 2000 robux for ace's boat to go to the next mid bandit beater island faster because we didn't create any content besides devil fruit and swords!" As long as the game continues getting updates and level caps so hybrid classes can enjoy their builds better. AO will stay winning.
I agree I hope they continue to improve the game overall and hopefully the monetization practices stay healthy as time goes. AO ON TOP 🔝
The end is the best description of blox fruits I’ve ever seen
@@TechyOP_ and they will, vetex already said all the monetization would be cosmetic and sheer support by donations
Yeah Vetex has always kept monetization to cosmetics only. Its one of my favorite parts of his games, knowing that theres no need for p2w.
@@uhoh1321 that’s good to know this is my first one of his games and he’s already my favourite dev on Roblox and favourite game on Roblox since the Wild West so I was hoping that nothing would end up p2w
The simple fact that there is basically prejudice/racism towards a people of a town on one island to explain why it it is so empty and darker looking is a cool bit of world building. I like seeing places like that as it hints towards the darker side of the island you are at before you learn about in depth about it
Interesting I didn’t know that, the depth of this game amazes me ngl
@@TechyOP_ ngl i fr gasped at winterveil 💀
Wait what 💀💀
@@bambino9709 ravenna was racist towards a island called winterveil so they destroyed the island and covered it up

One thing I'd mention: before you start a villain file, play through the game as a hero. You'll discover a lot of little backwater towns and coves and stuff that have stuff that can help villains. Villains can be difficult sometimes, but vetex realized this and put some useful hidden paths for you to use as one. Also, most guards in towns don't attack you- but will if they have to. Usually only the navy will attack you and will send parties of marines after you to take you down.
The villain route is arguably harder, but a lot more fun.
Thanks for the info I’m starting a villain file soon so I’ll definitely keep this in mind
I love being in the minority side. Barely any villains out there so we have a lot of prey haha.
@@billybob5553 I dont think people bounty hunts cuz the pvp of the game is garbage on top of all that u can practically escape with a boat
@@Tobilolz you can destroy someone's boat pretty easily if they try to run even if it's a reinforced boat cause of how much damage the higher level cannons and explosive shells do along with some of the battering rams
@@Tobilolz I can tell you’ve not played the game
I actually really like the combat, people say it's quite junky but really didnt feel it like that, when you start to get more into the movement it is really fast and cool, although something i don't like is how easily the environment gets destroyed during boss fights and it becomes very frustrating getting stuck all the time
I just think the combat heavily relies on movement and AOE damage. As it is really hard to hit someone who is constantly dashing with anything that doesn't have a huge AOE.
Another thing i hate is how all styles and magics have the same moves that also have very little customization to them, It makes it feel shallow and not very fun so i am hoping it isn't the same with lost and ancient magic/styles.
@@billybob5553 Every game combat relies on movement and stronger powers.
@@billybob5553 magics and fighting styles are meant to be the same and have little stats difference but you have lost spells and magic edits to make your magic unique
@@mizuki_i3112 No not every game relies on movement.
@@kauan5581 Lost spells are really few right now if i am not wrong there is just a single one, And the edit system is lacking like crazy. At most you can change the AOE and animation of the spell. except the Q ability if you go full mage/berserker for style.
The weirdest part to me is that enjoyable, immersing games like this on roblox is not getting as much traction or attention as the money grabbing games. This game has a ton of positive videos and feedback yet doesn’t even achieve at least 10k players on a daily basis. It makes me believe people prefer to play money grabbers. I was expecting this video to have super harsh criticism or mindless AO slander but this was a great and honest video.
Thank you so much for the super chat! I genuinely think that arcane odyssey is one of the greatest if not the greatest roblox game I’ve played recently and I had to give it its flowers 💪🏾
Remember the game has ''Early Access'' for a reason but the first week of playing this game been a blast to me, a open world rpg game with story telling. this game is amazing
another cool thing: if you noticed, in armories, the weapons or armors of other players can be there if they sold them. so if a friend sold some kind of weapon to an armourer, you can buy it. im sure it will become more noticeable if theres more players in your server. pretty cool thing to add.
Honestly, I like the game, but I wish you had a but more info about making spells. Besides that, and Elius, and the fact that I can't find any weapons in armories and have to randomly pick em out from chests, I like it!
Noted! I definitely forgot about that for sure the spells were actually a really cool part of the game for me
U can edit your spells if you are full mage tho
@@kikokuzu3594 I know, but it doesn't tell you how damaging the spell will be. Just tells you how big it will be or whatever. Knowing it's damage would be SOO useful
@@dominicballinger6536 the smaller ur magic size is, the more damage you deal to people. Same Aldo applies to flighting styles and so on
@Bonkjima o figured that out. Been using really small magic lately. Though the only reason I beat elius was because he hlitched and just died in the island.
The combat might be kinda mid but the story, exploration, adventure is rlly good. Honestly this game is amazing
I love it so far hopefully with updates the combat can be touched up and improved over time
My biggest criticism so far is the unexpected rise in difficulty when you reach Cirrus and start dealing with the whatchamacallit order. Specifically Elius. The enemies start doing so much damage, and it feels like you do so little. And the terrain destruction is just more frustrating than fun. Constantly gets in the way of movement. Besides that and the lagginess of blocking, it's aight. Kinda like combat warriors almost.
@@dominicballinger6536 I like the game but my least favourite part is how slow everything is (in terms of transport) I’m at the point in the game where I’m grinding to lvl 75 to keep doing the story and my friend is doing the sky quests and Elias. It takes so long just to get to the stepstones not to mention you can’t manually despawn your ship. It’s so painful when your a lvl 68 getting wiped by high lvl npc marines or pirates or actual people and then taking 10 more minutes going from sailors lodge to the stepstones just to die again.
(I’m using a caravel btw)
@Leo Burnley I can see that, though I just got frustrated a bit ago trying to kill the snow mage on Cirrus a couple times. He just spams way too much tbh, and his movement makes landing anything a nightmare.
@@dominicballinger6536 are you talking about Elias or the guy in the sky islands you can fight as a quest?
In my opinion, the best part of the game is its focus on being dynamic. From the dynamic terrain that changes to the dynamic moral system, the team clearly valued player choice, freedom and expression. My favorite moment was when me and my friend were grinding on an island for items and a pirate captain with triple our levels walked up and tried to fight us. Through liberal use of cheese we killed him to little reward. I was disappointed until not only the in-universe newspaper thanked my character for catching a criminal, but that the exact same criminal was then executed in a nearby town. The game didn't reward me with XP and gold but in a dynamic change in the world that responded to my actions. And that type of reward done well stays in players minds way longer than 2000 EXP ever could.
Agreed
Bro i only know this guy for 2 videos in less then 1 week and i already love him, the effort u put in ur vids, A REAL BEAST 😤
Thanks so much bro I appreciate the kind words! 💪🏾
ngl i dont like most roblox youtubers and i dont follow them but u gotta be one of the most engaging fun to watch channels out there, and the fact that u talk with your communitys also amazing good work man
Thanks for the encouraging words my guy! I try to interact with my community as much as possible since truly I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the people who support me 💪🏾
also, the rep balancing is good enough. heroes have access to shops way easier, but villains literally get cargo for free.
I also like the stat build, because it allows you to create your own combat style.
It's such a different thing compared to most Roblox games, and I remember playing it when it was World of Magic. It was really fun and me and my friend just constantly got into the prison. Anyways, I find that it's like a stand-alone game, something you'd find on steam or somewhere else. 11/10 experience.
same, i remember destroying the villages with my friends, really fun
lord elius got more angrier then most bosses on elden ring lmao especially when i die from getting stuck inside the ground
Lord elius is a DEMON bro 😭
Yeah man, there is no reason for that bump in difficulty so suddenly.
lord elius is definitely a skill check boss
But now at the endgame and I'm killing bro in 20 seconds, But yet elius seems to be a block for most new players.
@Red Haired Rando yeah, I mean I got to move past him only because he glitched SO badly, he just up and died out of nowhere. I've yet to actually kill him at all. I should probably try again now that I'm level 70, but I don't have high hopes.
Thank you for making such a video, I've seen a lot of people complain about the game and combat and not giving a damn about everything else it has to offer. Seeing a video such as yours reminds me of how good it is and how much fun I have playing it.
One of the things I fell in love the most was the story, I did not see it coming and it feels fantastic, not to mention the tiny bits of story the islands have, which makes it a lot more immersive.
Thank you!
Your welcome and thank you for the kind feedback 🤝
You are an incredibly good channel. The editing is crazy. Seriously congrats
Thanks so much I try my best! 🤝

6:31 "get a bunch of guns and shoot like a madman" -Joseph joestsr
some side missions in the game also give you more explanation on the lore, so if you're in for the lore, I recommend not skipping any of them.
Imma be real I think the combat is really cool. I personally don't like the way magic is cause you're stuck in place til you've used the spell but the fighting styles and weapon abilities so far are so much fun to use and mess around with. Especially fighting styles for me. I been using iron leg and got the lost technique of axe kick for my iron leg and that crap actually looks so dope. You literally send out a wave of shockwaves in the form of a kick. PLUS IT'S LONG RANGE. Overall the game is amazing already, the story is nice, the drip is peak, the waifus (yes people simping already for a few of the female characters), I just know this game is def Vex's greatest work. If this is just the first sea and is already THIS good I can only imagine what else will come into play later. I'm personally excited for both the lost fighting styles and too see more of the... bad guys. (not gonna spoil)
Honestly moves keeping you in the position is really good. Otherwise you would NOT be hitting anyone, without attacks stopping you attack size would have much more need in combat as you literally cannot attack people.
You gotta just wait and punish opponents.
honestly, this game for being early access is incredibly polished and well made, there's some glitches here and there (like ships being flung but that's mainly cuz roblox) but everything else about the game completely counters the glitches, the story is not super long but not short enough that you can do it under 10 minutes either, and there's a ton of side content you can do to keep you playing the game on just one slot for 20-30 hours before you're actually maxed out, i honestly think with future updates this game will definitely become the successor to arcane adventures and will become one of the all time best games on roblox
What's more crazy is that this ain't even the state the early access was supposed to be, vetex had to release it earlier than planned.
How the ea would've looked like we can see with the first update. As the dark sea and potions were supposed to be added for example
Atleast in the combat you can parry and block which only makes it 10% better but it still is in the game as a function.
Lord Elius showed me the real depth of the combat with blocking and parrying making fights fun to practice. And even though people say combat sucks it doesn't have anything less than most other combat in features but the customization allows one to control what strengths and weaknesses they have which has way more depth than combat games aside things like magic properties and weapon arts.
Combat has some endlag but the story and adventure aspects of the game has insane depth and its crazy on how many details there are, also getting on agora news is epic because you can brag it to your friends lol
End lag is on purpose build for attack speed and see endlag gone
The dark sea came out like a month ago, though it felt like a breath of fresh air it was hiding behind several hours of grinding, as you NEED the brigantine to explore it properly, which costs _20 thousand galleons_ (the second biggest ship costs 3 thousand btw) so its about 5 hours of grinding. Though I'm amazed by the fact that it allows you to experience pretty much everything without needing to grind for 60 hours (cough cough, blox fruits, cough cough) and even though the combat can feel really weird some times and the terrain destruction is definetly the worst mechanic of the game, I do not regret playing 155 hours
I didnt even know this was based on One Piece game, i didn't even watch One Piece at all. Didnt even know what bandit beater is. I just played Arcane Oddysea because i just typed RPG in Roblox and i stumble upon this game.
Glad i played this game before knowing all that Bloxy Fruit and other copy bullshits because Arcane Oddysea is forever in my heart and always be.
I love how well thought out/made the video was. Definitely earned my sub.
Don't mind this, but I really needed to ask.. Are you black? No hate, I myself am African
Thanks, to answer your question yes I am black 👍🏾
Arcane odyssey is more pve focused so if the combat is trash, that doesn’t destroy the whole experience, not that it is trash
Although the boss fight are really hard in this game, you will become so satisfying after defeat them, and this really make the game more enjoyable
i mean it does become incredibly boring once you start grinding those bosses for the boss drops, its very harsh the chances
theyre not even supposed to be hard, its supposed to introduce you to mechanics that you NEED to practice, like dodging, blocking, and parrying.
my favorite thing is just raiding ships and turning in chests, literally SO satisfying and SO rewarding, but a major combat overhaul would do WONDERS for the game, like it really sucks to get stuck in place while charging a spell, i cant even shoot other ships while moving on my own bruh, i'm left flying while my ship goes away and its the same for MELEE COMBAT??
I think a complete combat overhaul would be great, but if Vetex can change this ONE thing it will be a huge step up already.
I remember playing the game when it was still called World of Magic. I feel like the game has gone through a major change, one that is even bigger than I imagined, but in a good way.
The fame got simply revamped completely. U can still play the old game though (WoM)
I consider it a completely different game from WoM.
@@skoorbal3173 Yeah, take away the magic styles and you've got a completely different game
Only thing I miss from WoM was destroying towns and being able to kill the civilians.
As an player who played the first Arcane Game, i really love this type of games cause its original and different of the type of game who is actually in the platform, i really enjoyed Vetex games and this one is my top favorite Favorites games actually in Roblox.
I actually like the boss fight in this game
the first time I encounter the king calvus I think I'd never beat him solo cuz he look so overpower
but then I try to solo it again and again and finally I can solo him and it so feel so satisfying
i think man forgot the worst thing about the game is the fame grinding and treasure hunting like jebus, i spent 1 hour doing some treasure chart for the worst loot imaginable and 1 sealed chest
I don't know what they did to make a painful endless grind like a fishing minigame fun. Maybe the scenery brings tranquility, but it is relaxing and exciting when you get something big.
I agree it’s just something about it
The game overall is very well made, and you are right about the PvP people do over 300 damage while air stalling which is horrible, and meta builds you have to fight them with pure concentration to beat them.
FOR THE PEOPLE SAYING THE COMBAT IS BAD-
Arcane Odyssey's combat isn't for everyone and that's just how it is as it is for most games. It's not based on Blox Fruits, it's an entirely different type of combat genre I like to call "Movement based Combat" meaning that you have to able to hit your shots while dodging an opponents attacks in an open space. It not being a True Combo type game makes it one of the best combat games I've ever played (True combo games are trash in general and people who say "first to land a combo m1 wins" type of games are good should go back to strongest battlegrounds).
People that say; "the combat is what makes Arcane Odyssey unfun," most likely didn't get pass the Lord Elius boss fight or got farmed by another player for having a skill issue. The combat doesn't take away from the game at all, it's actually what makes it fun and engaging. Sure, it's hard to get a grip when you're new to the game but that's just how it is with most combat focused games
Arcane Odyssey is good for a combat-focused RPG (it's not a pvp game nor a pve game) and people who say it's bad probably aren't good at it and/or don't realize you can block and parry by pressing (and holding) 'G'. For a beginner it'll feel jank but if they're willing to embrace the combat mechanics then they should get decent at it by the time they finish the unfinished campaign
Personally, I love the combat. Probably because I played World Of Magic before vetex revamped it to Arcane Odyssey. It's not like Deepwoken and it's not like those battleground games.
(And to the People saying Arcane Odyssey is copying Blox fruits... No, Arcane Adventures came first)
Fr, I hear people say the combat is clunky when they barely tried any of the mechanics (dodge reflex, 200 agility for teleport movement or attack speed to make your attacks more fluid) most of the time people complaining about the game barely ever played at all (let alone do serious combat).
This game feels like how arcane adventures was back in the day but better, and im here for it, absolutely loving the game and cant wait for more content (especially dark sea content).
I never got around to play arcane adventures but I truly enjoyed my time with arcane odyssey 👍🏾
honestly i love your opinion on this amazing game unlike somebody that i cant seem to remember
What i like about arcane odyssey is how it brought back the arcane adventures feeling and how it ties in lore being the sequel to it
Important word choice, the combat RESEMBLES Blox fruit. It does not play at all like blox fruit. It is a very fast and frenetic combat system if you fully engage in the systems given to you which some of the challenging bosses teach you.
I love this game because I used to play arcane adventures when i was younger and was playing shit games with friends on roblox, and I found this remake after arcane adventures broke due to an update. Im so glad its different while keeping the same type of feel. So nostalgic after so many years away
*_Lore got very juicy._*
*_Combat is supposed to be skill-based. Also, the characters are made with emotion and soul, which is why people somehow loved the game._*
Speaking of loot, I'm a hoarder of them all.
*_I still wonder who's gonna buy it off me so I can hunt more gear for stat and drip._*
People say that AO is dead but alot of people tend to forget that the game is in early access, once the game has a full release and the Dark Sea is added for replayability I feel like the player count will be closer to what we saw at launch
Dark sea got added. It’s crazy
Yessssir the king is back
Yessirrr 🔥
@@TechyOP_ lowkey the most fun I had with a roblox game in 2023
This is a game what a roblox game should be. Almost every roblox game are copy of each other. No life grind, kill bandits 90% of the game, pay to win etc. but I hope this game changes something. Sadly, this type of games are not easy money for developers. Takes a lot of time to create and so little in game purchases that are not making player a god or not forcing player to buy for progress. I hope our developers get what they deserve.
Only problems are
Some classes/magics are unbalanced
Bugs (not game breaking but sometimes makes rage especially on boss fights)
Also, if they add a feature that we can harm every npc's and raid villages (like previous game, world of magic) would be so cool and fun but the problem is, this might be chaotic but there might be some ways to prevent it.
Vetex doesn't need to make game passes to milk money, people just throw it at him through donations and global messaging
what i like is generally the in game news, if you do evil, and sink navy ships, the paper updates you get more bounty and people know you did something.
same for heros, i did make the mistake of doing evil at the start and i may do hero, at times i get annoyed of having 10+ navy ships hitting me back to back but its kinda fun, i may try to take down criminals and see a hero sided part, but i do get a little joyful seeing in the paper that i sunk some navy ships and to be werry of my character.. just.. it makes me feel like i impacted the world.
as for the combat.. the hits feel clunky at times, like you swing through your opponent and it dose not connect with weapons, but the combat ain't bad, i may try full mage next.. also the effects when you hit level 50-100 and your charge gets bigger.. i like that alot, makes you feel more powerful.
the only thing i absolutely love about this game is the boat combat it filled the hole left from deepwoken about boat combat
It filled my hole
@@suus1027sounds cool, i want some.
The one thing they absolutely need to add is a lock on system cause when your speed blitzing around the map is super hard to aim. And find the guy your finding.
Actually just get gud. One of the biggest parts of the games combat is aiming.
@@jeffboy4231 I'm sorry I'm not focusing on aiming when I'm blitzing from island to island with dashes
@@jeffboy4231 also who asked?
There would be no more depth to the combat if vetex added lock on. No more prediction, punish, juking the enemy attacks if they're just gonna land their shot 0.1 second after you punish them.
Honestly.
This is one best games which I ever played.
I really feel like I enjoy by it.
Story,boats,fight and everything other..Fight and explore is best part of game for me since it give like choice to make your way to play,plus since of story and etc it really rewards you with most important thing - fun.
Bro i'm so early it's insane.
Hope you enjoy the vid bro 👋
I just want to emphasize that the game is in early access...and there are so many features planned just read the info page on the game
People are really used to the m1 hitstun combat formula because its good and works but there have been other games that do this style of fighting and when its done well its fun, a good example of one that still has players is elemental battlegrounds.
Having combat based on high mobility with large aoes and grabs is a fun change of pace from the normal anime fighting game combat formula.
(personally I think blox fruits does this combat badly because its too air focused, when you have combat like this its better to keep it mostly grounded with high jumps and not have the ability to infinitely geppo or fly into the air)
I agree I personally grew to like the combat more as I played. People just have to get used to this game being different from the norm that’s all
Eyyy they removed the level locks!!!
The only level lock now is the one to awaken after you beat calvus, wich is quite fair, thinking that its a process where you need to be strong, it makes sense.
Simple tips for beating bosses
(spoilers)
shura: use a gun or knife even if you dont wanna use weapons later on.
iris: same as shura.
elius: cannon fist spam / become lvl 80 or higher (i suggest you do both).
general argos: ironskin potions, a good meal with horizon rosemary, any rare or exotic fish, and sky pumpkins, and cannon fist spam or pulsar spam or E move with any claw weapon.
lady carina: ironskin potions and being at least lvl 110.
king calvus: ironskin potions and getting a group of people to cheese him with bows or guns / 20 amount magic blast spam.
prince revon: beat him to near death with your bare hands to assert dominance.
This is all from personal experience so dont expect it too well.
Combat is very good, but it becomes good at like lvl 120+ because u can use better armor and stuff, your attacks become bigger and faster. Diff of lvl 118 and 120 is huge as hell
Congrats on 11k
Thanks bro 💪🏾
Arcane odyssey is best experience with a bunch of friends, I only progressed with a single friend as duos and ended up spending 30+ hours on the game for days
Appreciate the review on this super great game brother, the opinions and facts real match and mix up well in order to make the game shine to the players who doesn't know the game. But come on man, Lord ellius is hard? Man was a push over in my end.
To each it’s own 🤝
the game has alot of underrated features, such as Conjurer Awakening as lightning user. Lightning paralyzes when it hits, making u unable to move. so if its applied to sword it will just keep creating room for free attacks
the game itself is pretty good but bosses are rage
when arcane gets finished it will 100 percent be the best roblox pirate game i mean even at such an early stage when the story is still nowhere complete and so much stuff is missing i've found myself playing it for 50 hours and weirdly enough it actually got more fun after i hit the level cap and finished the current story
great video man, this is a perfect guide that highlights all the good and bad parts about AO. Very well structured and entertaining,earned a sub from me!
Glad you enjoyed and welcome to the channel 🤝
As somebody who played arcane adventures then world of magic I like the simple combat no one shot combos like aut no constantly doing the same quest for a week like blox fruits or other bandit beaters and interesting and engaging story lines from arcane adventures and the little story we got from world of magic tho and I can’t wait for the full release with all the content
I can understand the combat part, it can feel a little stale at times although Arcane Odyssey makes up for its weak points, with quests amazing story, the world etc. one issue, is more shown early game, because you have to watch some videos about the game to understand combat, due to the best parts of it being locked to late game, like fighting styles certain weapons, and higher tier spells, one thing is to utilize movement, dashing in the sky, lots or high jumps, getting high ground and Dodging constantly, there's only one more issue I have and it's that there is a massive difficulty curve in the last boss, which is important, and impossible to do solo as a casual player. But overall I love Arcane Odyssey
It feels like a filler one piece arc, absolutely perfect
Bro gon be the new best roblox RUclips
Yet another W video techy
Thanks my guy 🤝
I just want to point that Vitalitity will be better when soul weapons come out, it will do more dmg depending on your Vitality, or at least that is what I understood
and itll also drain your health to be used iirc
I really hope they fix the fighting. Cause like- in my opinion things are WAY too difficult. I think there needs to either be a hone in option or SOMETHING needs to buffed or nerfed. I'm level 122 and I cant beat anything under 50 without a LOT of difficulty. Like- I get you're supposed to combine abilities with other people, but as a shy person with social anxiety I think the game needs to be playable if you wanna go solo too. Or at least give clan or whatever more incentive to exist some how so that people will actually want people who are struggling with the game to join them, not ONLY THE BEST OF THE BEST.
This game is inspiration for my game it's amazing
I used to play this when it was released back in the world of magic game
0:58 it doesnt have gpo graphics but dawg it way more laggy than those hight graphic games, they should fix ngl (i do 60 fps on gpo and 40 on arcane)
its cause of the player cap when it was 5 players it wasnt laggy
9.6/10 game, only flaw is boss drop grinds and kinda awkward combat but still amazing and feels like old Roblox looks meets new Roblox gameplay
PLEASE do a video on sealed chests, alot of people somehow just doesnt know about them(how?) and its a very important part of the game, especially for ships and sea navigation
The community playing with the global chat is one way for the game to gain profits since the community is a fun (atleast for now)
You can look at the global chat and see people paying 1.5k robux to say the most inspiring qoutes then later one asking who is joe
U guys really think rating this game like it's the final version keep it in mind it's literally early access no beta no official release it's a early access and game works 100x better than most of the thr rohlox games istg imagine the upcoming updates within the game closer to being one of the most engaging games in roblox,
-----Exploration Spoiler-----
Read at your own risk :)
Yo, so I didn't know about this until today that near Ravenna there is a place called Akursius Keep and that place gives a slight prelude to the upcoming Dark Sea update.
Entering the island, the environment changes from bustling to rather omnious and the sky changes from bright blue to dark with a red sun(?). There are also hallucinations and other stuff...its interesting, just visit that place. West of Ravenna if I recall correctly.
Yep I went there and did the quest where you find the journal and it was pretty cool how the insanity system worked
when I was beating Lord Elius, there's another player also fighting and i managed to make Elius go below half of his hp but that another player accidentally killed me. Here's the twist: I got respawned at full health, but Elius' hp remains the same. I therefore defeated the boss
This game is really good but don't forget about the bosses, they are a big difficulty spike and it's not fun to fight them.
Overall best game I have ever played.
although people compare AO to other anime games on the website, to my knowledge, I do not think it is an anime game. It has similar features and gameplay to anime games out there but to my knowledge, I don't think it's an anime game or based off an anime game.
edit: as an AA player (Arcane Adventures, an older similar game made by the same dev that is now broken), the combat is definitely weird and flawed, but it's quite relaxing to me and maybe some others. It has the same feeling as Arcane Adventures.
in my opinion, this game is good, and has a lot of content even if this is just the release, other roblox games ( mostly anime games) have no content in the release and so much bugs, but this game is pretty good, good customization, a good amount of elements so players dont feel like the same, good exploration, good graphics but not that good like TechyOP said: GPO and project slayers, and other small things that make the game feel nice, clean and cool
techy you should play when the dark sea update comes out later this month its going to have so much more content like new sea monsters siege weapons and lots more :)
also have you played the new potions update and underwater update you should play it some day
There used to be a game called arcane adventures which is i think the original of this game, i remember playing a lot of it and having fun wrecking havoc
Oh and there was world of magic
The best part about ao is that bandit beating is optional and you can progress through other ways
TechyOp, thanks for doing anime games, like one piece, keep doing it.
More to come!
@@TechyOP_ cool
Ngl I was Judging Arcane Odyssey Becuz of the Graphics but now i'm willing to give it a try
Glad I could help you with your decision hopefully you like the game 👍🏾
If you think graphics matters over gameplay then your opinions don't matter 💀 tbh
You should honestly revisit AO again when it fully releases and moves out of early access completely
I dont even need to watch this video to know if arcane oddyssey is good i already know its good i watched this video because this mans videos are top teir
Alot of it was overexaggerated but yeah it is fun. This game beats every single one of them stupid one piece bandit-beaters in every single way (Yes, even the graphics, because unlike most games, they actually have a consistent theme). Definetly recommend and im really hyped for when the final release comes out.
Low key my biggest issue with arcane odyssey is the lack of explanation like I have to Google how to Sink ships and how to find sharks both which were super rng
i just skipped the sutscenes and the text so i dont even understand the lore
I hope they add a villain or hero storyline in the next update like world of magic
If you're wondering about how long the story has ACTUALLY been going
first part of the story took place in his third game : world of magic (nobody liked wom tbh it didnt have as much story as all the other arcane games)
Then online fighting
Then Arcane Adventures
Then Arcane Odyssey
vetex has been cooking roblox game lore for 4 seperate whole games worth of lore, thats crazy
another thing is the builds aren't so good even as of now but once the nimbus sea comes out the builds will be allot better and savant will become one of if not the best but still it may get a nerf later but as of now the builds are not balanced.
