Developed by Korean studio Neo Cyon (also developer of several other Ragnarok mobile games) and published by Gravity Korea, the English version of Ragnarok: Spear of Odin entered Closed Beta in Singapore recently on Google Play. Different from most genre we have seen in the Ragnarok Online franchise, Spear of Odin is a dungeon-based action RPG, similar to mobile games such as HIT.
Surprisingly, there isn’t auto-combat, just auto-aim during combat. While you can see other players in town, the normal story dungeons are really single-player affairs. For now, the only co-op mode is the boss raid, which sees a maximum party of 3. I am sure more co-op features are being developed. Class advancement is also available, though with only 3 playable classes at launch (2 during Closed Beta).
Cash shop wise, players will be able to purchase costumes, while also gacha for cards. One of the most iconic features in Ragnarok Online, players can also obtain cards from PVE to place onto their equipment. The number of slots available vary, and lower-grade cards can be improved gradually to rarer ones. There is currently no news if Gravity is publishing Spear of Odin worldwide.
