This is my first game review and i already see some things to change for the next ones but feel free to leave comments I will read them all! thanks to great community that helped me out getting started on twitch and UNO for telling me to try this game. Had a blast and will be playing from now on!
Hey youtube Incendar here!
today with a quick review of the mobile Game King's Raid by South Korean indie game developer Vespa.
I played for about 100 hours so far and have had a really good time. I recorded this entire video using a nox emulator or pc, link below!
Kings Raid is a trinity party based game that reminds me of some final fantasies, it's lots of fun, with a very low or non existent
paywall which can be overcome with an in game system to generate premium game currencey by grinding!
This will by my first game review so we'll see how this format goes and it will likely change in the future. I'll do a quick overview first for those short on time and then go in a little deeper into the game.
make sure to leave any suggestions or ideas in comments below!
I will also have some followup vidoes on the areas I got stuck or had issues with as wellso make sure to subscribe!

be YouTube and send are here today with
0:03
a quick review of the mobile game Kings
0:05
raid by the South Korean indie game
0:07
developer Vespa I played this for about
0:09
100 hours so far and had a really great
0:11
time I recorded this whole video today
0:13
using the NOx emulator on PC and I'll
0:16
put a link for that below in the
0:18
description kings raid is a trinity
0:22
party based game reminds me a lot of
0:24
some of the Final Fantasies it's a lot
0:26
of fun very low or non-existent paywall
0:29
which can actually be overcome with an
0:31
in-game system to generate your own
0:32
premium game currency just by grinding
0:34
this will be my first game review on the
0:37
channel so we'll see how this format
0:39
goes and it'll likely change in the
0:40
future I'll do a quick overview for
0:43
those short on time and then go into a
0:44
little deeper into the game mechanics
0:45
make sure to leave any suggestions or
0:47
ideas in the comments below I'll also be
0:49
doing some follow-up videos on King's
0:51
raid so make sure to subscribe okay so
0:55
as far as gameplay itself you're looking
0:57
at seven chapters with varied landscapes
0:59
you know from desert to snow snowy area
1:03
typical MMO stuff each region has four
1:06
difficulties so it takes quite a bit to
1:08
progress initially through the game and
1:09
I believe they're always adding to this
1:11
too so it'll probably be even more
1:13
levels in the future keep in mind you
1:14
get rubies for the first clear of each
1:16
difficulty and like if you do 1 1 you
1:19
get rubies on easy than normal than hard
1:22
than hell that takes a while to progress
1:24
but you get tons of rubies from that um
1:25
here's the guild house and as I was
1:28
saying earlier you killed guild bosses
1:30
and then you get special items for sale
1:32
in the guild store this is the arena
1:35
where PvP happens there's currently
1:37
three modes the first one 4x4 players
1:41
second ones 8x8 I haven't really messed
1:43
with and the other one hasn't been
1:44
activated yet pretty fun there though
1:47
all this stuff's in the main town as far
1:49
as getting heroes to rather than just
1:51
buying rubies you can also get a random
1:52
one here at the end if you check
1:53
everyday and you just used feed them a
1:56
friend Amity you get and silver or
1:59
excuse me
2:00
gold in this game to get here that way
2:04
and as you can see slowly build up your
2:05
ducky heroes each one is totally
2:07
independent has its own
2:09
pros and cons and you kind of got a
2:11
build then you got front back like I was
2:13
saying with the Trinity system as far as
2:15
um how many heroes are there are total I
2:18
guess there's what 56 here at the time
2:20
of this video there's tons of them
2:22
you're always running into new ones in
2:24
the arena you know with different
2:26
strategies but I think there's something
2:28
for everybody as far as inventory you
2:32
can notice here when I was farming the
2:33
rubies earlier I just go to um you know
2:36
I was afk farming the in-game currency
2:38
so I just got to use it and then it
2:40
actually gives me the rubies which is um
2:42
the game's in-game currency so once you
2:46
have that you can actually buy heroes
2:47
and they're ranging here from four to
2:48
six thousand rupees each I have seen
2:51
sales on costumes but not heroes yet I
2:53
would assume they do the same thing for
2:55
here as though so if you want to here
2:56
you can just go up here into their cash
2:58
shop and use your rubies you'll get so
3:01
many from progression you might want to
3:03
wait to you're later in the game you
3:04
know or I mean if you see her you want
3:06
you can just pick it up costumes also
3:08
give a small bonus to XP or gold you can
3:11
see in the top left when you're looking
3:12
at a particular hero and their costume
3:15
it shows you what buff they give and
3:17
these are currently 3,000 I can't
3:19
remember exactly how big this sale was
3:21
on these a week ago there's so many
3:23
costumes and customizations for each
3:27
hero I mean it would be hours long video
3:30
so I'm just gonna show you the deepest
3:32
here and here's some other examples of
3:35
some other hairs at the top so you get a
3:37
good idea I mean there's tons of
3:38
costumes for you to spend your rubies on
3:40
tons of heroes to spend your rubies on
3:42
but you can always be genuine generating
3:45
those rubies to either by grinding or
3:46
are doing the daily quest that's not too
3:48
bad and um you know some of these
3:50
costumes are just really well done like
3:54
Wharf Santa I saw this kinda right now
3:57
you know I couldn't stop laughing so um
3:59
there's a lot of great stuff in here and
4:01
a lot of things to spend your rubies on
4:03
like I said you got them at a pretty
4:05
good pace it's just you might want to
4:07
save them in beginning to you get a
4:08
little better feeling for the game and
4:11
what you want to do you could probably
4:13
make a team that doesn't do very well
4:14
like if you did multiple tanks or healer
4:16
so the the original team you get and you
4:18
work with and the heroes for free should
4:19
be in pretty good shape
4:23
okay so I'll go into a little depth here
4:25
on the arena I'm not gonna go I mean I
4:27
could do like a five hour video on this
4:28
I'm sure and there's tons of websites
4:30
and videos out there already on this
4:31
this is just for a quick review the
4:34
arena to me it was either a lot of the
4:36
times it was either you know I went in
4:37
and just crushed the opponent instantly
4:39
or they crushed me instantly obviously
4:42
at the higher as you get higher it
4:44
becomes closer and more competitive and
4:47
you know there's big differences between
4:48
heroes so if you're if you're thinking
4:50
about doing like you know playing this
4:51
game only for PvP and arena you're
4:53
probably gonna want to at least look at
4:55
some websites and do some research
4:56
before you start spending those rubies
4:57
on specific heroes some really shine in
5:00
the arena compared to others and you'll
5:03
notice here that last fight for example
5:05
the guy just disconnected so automatic
5:07
win that happens you know that happens a
5:09
pretty good bit and then I get this guy
5:11
and it's like pretty much just just just
5:13
wipe the floor and I'm ranked up a
5:16
little bit you know I can still go a lot
5:17
higher though okay here I'm just showing
5:19
you what one of the guild bosses that
5:23
the guild fights basically this have
5:24
tons of the HP and each person takes
5:26
their turn and the more you kill the
5:28
more you get into that guild shop which
5:29
is great here's some raid content many
5:32
whelps handle it all right looks like
5:34
we're wiping but um here I was playing
5:37
with a friend and uh yeah I mean it's
5:40
just really nice to have some co-op
5:42
material in this game where you can just
5:44
play with friends and do raids like that
5:46
this here is an actual world boss where
5:49
you use eight heroes that's another
5:50
thing about the content if you have four
5:52
heroes that might not be enough you know
5:54
some pvp takes eight world boss here
5:56
takes eight so you're actually using
5:58
eight of your heroes at the same time so
6:00
you know you're gonna have to put some
6:01
development in to eight and I believe
6:05
it's going to be twelve or if it isn't
6:08
already for one of the pvp arenas so you
6:13
know that just gets even crazier with
6:14
the combinations and all the different
6:16
buffs okay so what I like the most about
6:20
this game I've been playing for about
6:21
three weeks
6:22
I've known as constant development from
6:24
the developers they've come out with
6:25
quite a few patches and new content new
6:27
heroes so it seems like they're on top
6:29
of things the in-game premium currency I
6:32
never feel to the today I haven't felt
6:34
did all to actually spend any money
6:36
since there's so many different ways to
6:38
make the in-game premium currency which
6:40
is rubies you can see my characters
6:41
right now are actually farming rubies
6:44
which is the in-game currency to buy
6:45
heroes and costumes and stuff another
6:48
big thing here is uh games really afk
6:50
friendly you can actually see I have
6:52
this on auto battle can just run you
6:54
know for however long and you can walk
6:56
away if you have other things to do
6:57
you're also allowed to macro this with
7:00
Knox which is a PC emulator if you want
7:02
to play this on your PC University phone
7:04
or tablet or whatever everything is
7:06
really colorful and well done a lot like
7:08
wow I like the Trinity combat system in
7:12
a tank healer dps and then there's you
7:14
know physical magic dps to get more into
7:17
that in a little bit the progression of
7:20
the characters and team is is really
7:21
engaging and believing that this game
7:24
also has a PvP arena I'll get into that
7:26
more in a little bit too um with ranking
7:28
system co-op dragon raids we can go with
7:31
a couple your friends to kill some
7:32
dragons world bosses which are extremely
7:34
challenging at least for me right now
7:37
there's guild activities and raids where
7:40
your whole guild works to kill a boss
7:43
character design in this and there's
7:45
just so many heroes and they're so well
7:47
done and each one seems totally unique
7:49
and you can just you know make make
7:51
different teams for whatever situation
7:53
you come across so tons of options for
7:56
party makeup if you're into that kind of
7:58
thing
7:58
crafting gear system is really well
8:00
implemented pay2win is very low pressure
8:03
like I mentioned if you're a casual one
8:06
or two hours a day daily quests take
8:08
about an hour a day you can play this
8:10
for maybe two hours day hardcore players
8:11
will probably be more interested in
8:13
spending but um I really think you know
8:15
if you're only playing an hour to day
8:16
you're you're gonna be fine and this is
8:18
the perfect game for you okay and just
8:21
some cons and I'm you know I'm doing all
8:23
this just to if you're short on time
8:24
you'll get this and I'll have more
8:25
details after this hardcore players you
8:28
want more than one to two hours a day
8:29
like if you if you're looking for an MMO
8:30
or a game to keep you involved you know
8:31
like 6 8 10 hours a day you might want
8:34
to look elsewhere I think even if you
8:37
spend a lot I don't know if there's
8:38
enough content in the game at the
8:40
current stage
8:41
to play it all day or anything like that
8:44
this is more like a you know one to two
8:46
hour a day thing you can get the in-game
8:50
currency rather easy but to a lot of
8:53
people when I look at some of the payoff
8:56
I times you know it's like $80 and III
8:58
figured out my head it'll save me about
8:59
a week so you'll have to look at that
9:02
and make your own decision I don't feel
9:03
the need to do it at all I can just you
9:05
know do the daily quest for an hour
9:06
every day and be totally happy but I can
9:09
see that being a problem for some of the
9:10
harder core players and like I said
9:12
faster progression can be expensive you
9:14
know 80 100 I'm when I was doing a
9:16
stream on Twitch there were people
9:17
timing you know you know a lot stayed
9:20
entirely free and then there was other
9:21
people spending thousands the one guy
9:22
said you know you drop five thousand
9:24
like no problem so that's always an
9:25
option here but I think you're gonna get
9:27
the solid 60 to 100 hours for free
9:29
regardless in the beginning and
9:30
enjoyment and then you can you know
9:32
decide on that even like inventory space
9:35
you're gonna have so many rubies you'll
9:36
be able to buy inventory space or heroes
9:38
or you know whatever else you need as
9:39
you go without spending sometimes for
9:43
some people one of the complaints was
9:45
the loading screen times can be annoying
9:46
this is mostly a problem in progression
9:48
and obviously when you're not afk
9:50
farming which you know who cares if
9:51
you're afk farming as always if you
9:54
click on your profile on the main page
9:55
you can actually change the settings to
9:56
lower which will make the loading times
9:58
much quicker okay so after 100 hours in
10:02
the last three weeks I would have to say
10:04
at a really great time and I'm really
10:06
glad I found this game I definitely feel
10:09
like I hit a bit of a wall where the
10:11
game slows down after that initial
10:12
intense progression where it you know
10:14
just keeps coming at ya that should last
10:16
you at least forty to sixty hours but um
10:19
it's not a deal-breaker for me because I
10:21
can still progress it's just it's just
10:22
much slower now I'll do some follow-up
10:25
vids on how to get around a few choke
10:26
points and gear checks I guess you could
10:28
call them that you may encounter along
10:30
the way that did slow me down but I did
10:31
manage to get past as far as the cash up
10:35
I never really felt pressured or that I
10:37
had to spend here you know even now what
10:40
you tend to see in most mobile games
10:41
anymore
10:42
eventually content will slow down for
10:44
you however so if you know hardcore
10:46
gamers were likely needed into the game
10:48
to supplement that when this slows down
10:50
you know when your progression slows
10:52
down
10:53
with the depth of this game you know
10:55
there's tons of heroes the own strengths
10:57
and weaknesses more being added all the
10:59
time
11:00
the afk auto battle option you've also
11:03
got macarons knocks it's you know group
11:06
raid content ranked PvP arena
11:09
I think Kings raid is gonna be great fun
11:11
for anyone casual and semi-casual for a
11:14
long time to come
11:16
art style here is probably what sells
11:18
most people you know it is I really
11:20
enjoy it and I you know if you enjoyed
11:23
you really can't go wrong with that make
