Simply a Masterpiece
My review of Dark Invasion II v2.14
Dark Invasion is not just another ORPG like many others that simply fills the map area with a few cities and monsters, and let you level up until level 99 when you can finally retire from the game. No, this map is much more than that.
Unique multiboard-menu systems, nice music, LOTS of diffrerent spells, items and abilities, and the cherry at top: a secondary skill system.
Although it sure has some very unecessary custom textures all over the place, the gameplay experience sure worths a try. It may take a while to get used to all those complex systems, but they're so unique that they captivate you and make you want to learn how to use each one of them.
This game uses a different multiboard for each menu, supported by a key-detection system, that resembles the menus from the final fantasy series (awesome). The problem is that this seems to be overkill when all you want to do is to drink a potion from your backpack.
I can't say if the classes are balanced or not, simply because I would have to play them for a very long time, but they seem to be ok at early levels.
The game is very hard (both to stay alive and to get used to the strange menus) but it's a masterpiece nontheless. It's full of unique elements that even if you don't like ORPGs you'll probably like this one. I'd also say it's an example of a well made map: awesome tooltips, incredible unique systems, not a load of heroes (which means they're probably balanced) and a very solid gameplay. Congratulations to the men responsible for this map.
