Spike Girls Online Review

E-mail Print PDF

spikemainSpike Girls Online who would've thought this Loli and Nee-chan game would be so popular.  Spike Girls is a lot of fun for an online sports type of game.  I am not usually the type to get into sports games but this one has really got me addicted all week.  Playing this game for the first time gave me a slight nostalgic feeling of playing Pangya online for the first time.  Get ready for a one long review of Spike Girls Online!! Fighting! (peace-sign)!

I actually preferred playing 2vs2 games rather than 3vs3 in Spike Girls but mostly all of the games are 3v3.  I've met a couple English speaking Koreans some of them are very nice.  I took a couple screen shots with some of them below one of them however was being very mean to me spamming me and stuff lol.  That crazy Yuna model action girl but the rest of the people I meet in game are pretty nice to me and very welcoming to foreigners.

You may be wondering how the game plays if you haven't seen any of the videos yet but it is relatively pretty simple and easy. Think of Volleyball and Tennis put together but instead of using a Tennis Racket and Hands you use your feet.  The ball can bounce once on the floor or you can hit/pass it right off the bat.  If the ball bounces twice, you hit the ball twice, ball hits out of bounce, or hits the net then you lose a point.

Gameplay Match!

I know the gameplay may sound a little boring but that's when skills come into play as you get higher level you can unlock certain skills that makes your character much more powerful.  For example you can do back flip kicks which I thought was pretty fancy and fast/slow short net shots that hits the ball barely over the net.  There is also a level 15 skill that gives you special stat boost and speed which my friend Miyuri calls Gundam Seed Mode.

Skill Shop

The game has a lot of stores to buy clothes from like accessory shop, coupon shop(random grab bag), set clothing shop, and a random shop. The stores in Spike Girls are different compared to any other game you have played.  The items sold in some stores change every five minutes.  So you will have to constantly check out the store if you are looking to buy something special or to simply just collect your whole set each server has a different shops o check all of them.  It is unique and new but it may get a bit annoying for others who have a stock pile of money and want to just buy everything!  My favorite is the Coupon Shop though it ate well over 1,000,000Rings of my money just because I want to get the rare outfits.

Coupon Shop is very addicting!

Spike Girls also comes with an extra way to earn money.  You have three choices to earn Ring points which is the currency of the game.  The main way is by playing a normal game/rated Spike match.  The other two is by playing one of the two mini games that are available in the training section.  One of the mini games require you to sweep the gym floor without tripping on the wet slippery floor while the other one is to help you improve your accuracy hitting bugs with the ball.  Keep an eye on the events board though since they always offer a bunch of events like 200% Exp or Rings.

I rarely experience lag when I play this game with other Korean players only during very high peek times.  The community for this game is really great and people are nice.  You won't ever get kicked out of games unless you have the "Warning" icon next to your avatar which means you constantly dc.  Don't be scared if you are sucking the first time around most of the players I have met online are pretty forgiving.  If you think you can't handle it you can always try to practice against CPU's although they are much harder than players!  This game requires no knowledge of Korean to actually enjoy the game since it is pretty much basic.

This is definitely one of the games that I will have installed in my computer for a long time because I can always log on anytime for a quick match if my urge to play sports games are kicking in.  The only downside next to resolution is the lack of male avatars.  I know the title is called Spike "Girls" but I am pretty sure a lot of people will be having trouble letting out their feminine side and playing a female character for once in their life time.

If anyone is good at figuring out how to reverse engineer the archive format used in this game you can view all the models and animations in this game with nif tools.
