Opinion: Nothing here to really write home about. Average across the board here. The look and sound of the game didn’t draw me in but they didn’t send me running and screaming the other way either.

As the tagline mentioned, the unique feature of asdastory gold is the soul mate system. Your in-game soul mate is directly linked to your own character (go figure soul mate and all). The soul mate is another live player, not just an NPC. This a great concept if you like to join new games with a friend, or are just looking to find a player with your similar schedule and drive to achieve. While having a soul mate you gain experience points faster than just solo or even grouped. Additionally, if your soul mate joins a party with other players, you both gain party and soul mate experience while your soul mate plays with other players. Never throughout time has cheating on a soul mate been made so beneficial (Try explaining that line to your significant other). I like to think of the soul mate system as the pyramid scheme of experience points. You even gain experience if your soul mate is playing and you are not, through use of the in-game “soul stone”. It’s almost like legalized power leveling, “Go out and get me some levels soul mate”, I’m sure that’s not the spirit the system was intended for, but it just seems like something that can be exploited a little too easy.

Other benefits of having a soul mate are a set of special skills that only soul mates can use. Any soul mate skills gained will disappear once you break up with a soul mate, but will be returned when you find another soul mate. Just like real life dating, c’mon you know what I mean folks.

They really do a great job of laying out all the details of the system, and I can’t really do the readers the justice they deserve of explaining the system in more depth without committing grievous acts of plagiarism.

Opinion: Now you can have a wife / significant other (we don’t judge here) in real life and a soul mate in the game… Does this sound like a bad idea to anyone else? Actually, it’s an interesting and innovative little feature.
