Table of Contents
Netmarble’s newly launched mobile MMORPG, ‘Snakefire,’ has achieved remarkable early success, claiming the top spot in Apple App store sales just eight hours after its release on January 26th. The game’s immersive dark fantasy atmosphere, fueled by themes of “blood, fear, and sorrow,” has resonated strongly with players. The game plunges players into a sprawling multiplayer world centered around vampires.
The narrative revolves around Cain,the first vampire cursed by the Angel Seman Gelov,and his expansion of the vampire forces within the realm of Nocturne. The story introduces Kidzaia, a human woman who becomes Cain’s second bride, and their child, Nell.
According to the game’s lore, Nell, born of both human and vampire lineage, was destined for execution.However, Kidzaia defied this decree, fleeing with Nell into hiding. Cain pursued them, but vanished after sustaining injuries from traps laid by Seman Gelov and other angelic forces.
The conflict escalates with the return of Lily, another vampire kin seeking vengeance. Joining forces with a denomination, lily instigates a war that nearly annihilates the Cain Bloodline, leaving only a handful of survivors scattered across the Krb and the fringes of Nocturne.
A new Hope Emerges from the Shadows
In a desperate bid for survival, Olga emerges as a key figure, inheriting Cain’s bloodline and offering a path to salvation. The narrative hints at a future awakening among the discarded bodies outside the Krb, promising a new chapter in the ongoing struggle.
Class Warfare: Choosing Your Vampire Path
‘Snakefire’ offers players a choice of three distinct vampire classes, each with unique strengths and playstyles.
Blood Stain: Described as a “photoelectric death penalty,” this class excels as both a tank, absorbing damage, and a damage dealer, unleashing powerful attacks. Its robust defense makes it an ideal choice for beginners.
Grim Ripper: This assassin class wields a sickle and specializes in swift, surprise attacks. Mastering the Grim Ripper requires precise timing and skillful execution, as its low defense leaves it vulnerable to counterattacks.
The Third Class: This versatile class utilizes poison, curses, and summons to control the battlefield and inflict continuous damage on multiple enemies. It is indeed particularly effective in Player versus Surroundings (PvE) hunting and large-scale battles, but requires strategic positioning to maximize its area-of-effect skills.
Optimizing Your ‘Snakefire’ Experience
The game emphasizes efficient progression through several key strategies. Players are strongly encouraged to utilize ‘coupon registration’ to acquire substantial initial growth items and gold. Focusing on the main questline is recommended early on, with daily quests becoming more beneficial as character levels increase. Tackling higher-difficulty quests yields greater rewards.
regarding equipment, selling green-tier items is advised due to their low value. Enhancement should be a gradual process,starting with lower-grade equipment. Prioritizing active skills through skillbooks is crucial, followed by passive skills as gold becomes available.
Daily and weekly dungeons are essential for acquiring rare accessories unavailable through standard gameplay. Epic Dungeons, in particular, offer exclusive rewards and should be prioritized.
The game also recommends purchasing “parts” artifacts from the store, but cautions against excessive investment beyond +5 due to diminishing returns and escalating costs. Nurturing ‘Bucca’ is considered vital for overall growth, providing valuable materials and items.
lineage and Customization: Defining Your Legacy
A unique feature of ‘Snakefire’ is its lineage system, allowing players to collect various lineages to enhance their stats and unlock special abilities. The game also offers extensive customization options, from character appearance to skill configurations, facilitated through the integrated exchange using ‘DIA’ goods. Netmarble has optimized ‘Snakefire’ for a seamless mobile gaming experience.
