Sharks were a lot more violent. Fighting one meant you were guaranteed to lose an arm or a leg. They also Attacked in swarms.
I remember it when it was barebones, so the most i remember was the fire curse and the sand curse.
It was basically one piece but in a game. A far cry from what Arcane is now, but a really good start.
Really felt more like an rp game with pvp, and had a few features I wish would come back, such as if you wear a cape, you automatically get a hood toggle which removes your hair/places a hood over your head and etc.
I was like 12 when I played it and struggled alot to get past the shark that was in my way to the second isle
but hey I did it, I just never got a curse because I didn’t know what to do and didn’t know english back then
I only started playing it when Arcane Adventures became popular
OF arguably set the groundwork for what Arcane Adventures and Arcane Odyssey would become later down the line (especially AA), although to my recollection Vetex wouldn’t start incorporating moves that locked the player in place until his Fairy Tail and One Piece games not long after OF. Fire Fist didn’t make you dash in the direction of your mouse–it just multiplied your walkspeed.
It bore the most similarities to early versions of Arcane Adventures; similar UI and lore (where it existed), and stats didn’t do anything outside of determine the damage done by certain skills. They had no bearing on when you would unlock what (as far as i remember), and you could basically use any weapon or fighting style you wanted with little to no limitation–everyone was a Savant.
OF was also the game that introduced Curses; the Fire Curse was the first one added, and one of only maybe two that I remember ever being added to the game. Based on how Rupin was built up in AA’s story and where he falls in the universe’s timeline, I’m pretty sure this foundational game was the era he was intended to be from.
Anyway, sadly you can’t truly play online fighting because the title screen is broken and neither of the buttons work. Maybe someone with scripting knowledge could make a script that lets you actually load in.
oh god that’s some old school roblox combat stuff. not the only game i remember that had “dash attacks” just make you run really fast with a hitbox on you for a split second.
i’m actually not sure if i’ve played OF before, if i have it would have been on an older now-hacked account of mine, but the map certainly rings a bell, though roblox maps at the time all looked a little similar so i don’t know.
