Nexon's next entry to the world of MMORPGs is Dragon Nest, a game that will appeal to casual and hardcore gamers alike. According to Nexon, the thing that makes Dragon Nest unique is that the action RPG features a third-person, over-the-shoulder perspective so it'll bring players really close to the action.
The up to four-player game will feature four character classes: warrior, archer, cleric and sorceress. I ran through the dungeon “Catacombs” as the sorceress and made use of nearly a dozen magic spells to back up my party. The sorceress has a standard and secondary attack associated with the mouse buttons and spells are tied to various keys on the keyboard as one would expect in a game like this. You'll be able to use an Xbox 360 controller to play the game but I don't think a controller would work that efficiently for a player.
The dungeon we saw was pretty straightforward as you need to fight the various monsters until you reached the boss. The attacks and spells, even with the cute-like visuals, were somewhat cool looking at least. You can collect loot, acquire and equip items to make your character stronger and there's even Player versus Player combat.

Um... Vindictus http://vindictus.nexon.net/
That was just the first game that came to mind of the more recent ones and it's even made by Nexon.
Quick question, though:
Does it have Dungeon Fighter Online's input command system for skills?
I play several classes on a controller with four skill hotkeys and the rest of my skills relying entirely on input commands, and it's insanely fun, kinda like a Street Fighter/Streets of Rage hybrid.
I'm currently right up Nexon's ass because of DFO, so I'll probably give this a try when my fatigue runs out.
