Have you played this little bit of pvp fluff? If you haven't, you should swing by the ncsoft website and download the free client to play the almost free game.
I say almost free, because there's no fee to download, there's no fee to play, but you have to drop real cash for upgrades. Oh, sure, you can "win" these upgraded through game play but let's be honest, the pwnzer's are going to buy their way to the top. Which means they'll be gone after getting their asshat handed to them on a routine bases by some real players, but it'll mean some annoying times for the rest of us.
But back to the game; it's anime themed with giant robots. You can't beat giant robots with guns and swords. You can't.
So, to review it's free to play, free to download, and it's got anime style giant robots. What's not to love? No, really.
Now, on to game play. It's got a nice tutorial that runs you through the controls and some of the beginner finer points of the game. Nice smooth graphics that don't demand too much from your rig. The mechanics of the world are good, along with the physics of the game engine. There's always an exploit, but Exteel has done a good job of minimizing this with various in-game logistics. Exteel also does a good job of balancing knee-jerk point and shoot with keyboarding skill.
All in all, if you love pvp, giant anime robots, and affordable game play; Exteel is the game for you and me.
