About

GRANADO ESPADA is a single player and multiplayer role playing game with a fantasy theme. It was developed by HANBITSOFT, INC. and was released on February 23, 2017. It received neutral reviews from both critics and players.

Granado Espada is about discovering new continents during Europe’s Age of Exploration era between the 1500s and 1700's. The Multi character control (MCC) is the most unique feature of the game, allowing players to control a party of up to three characters at a time. The approach to this style of game play makes Granado Espada feel like a hybrid MMORPG and RTS. Granada Espada's automatic hunting s…

  • Unique multi-character control system allowing you to control three characters simultaneously, offering strategic gameplay.
  • Beautiful and distinctive graphics with a Victorian aesthetic, combined with one of the best soundtracks in any MMORPG.
  • AFK grinding feature enables progression without constant active play, making it suitable for players with limited time.
  • Highly pay-to-win monetization mechanics requiring significant spending to access end-game content and competitive gear.
  • Outdated and buggy client with frequent technical issues including launcher failures, compatibility problems with modern systems, and poor support.
  • Extensive grinding that is required to progress, compounded by expensive in-game economy and game systems that punish free-to-play users.
  • music
    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's soundtrack receives widespread praise for its high quality, diverse range—from classical orchestral to energetic electronic and techno—and its strong role in enhancing the overall experience. Many players consider the music a standout feature, recommending the soundtrack even independently of the game. While some note occasional issues with gameplay or technical aspects, the music consistently stands out as a major highlight.

    • “Hands down the best soundtrack of any game to date.”
    • “It has an amazing world and some of the best OST I've ever heard in any game.”
    • “Many songs range from classical Victorian themed music to highspeed electronic techno rave music.”
    • “No sound (music, effect, all sound).”
    • “Doesn't have interesting gameplay, plus music and sound effects were pretty bad.”
    • “I can't listen to the music anymore, because when I do I suddenly get PTSD flashbacks of some horrid times involving horrible money sink RNG systems in game.”
  • story
    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is described as intriguing and deep, with unique characters and engaging quest lines, though its quality is hampered by poor English translation and some frustrating quest design. Players appreciate the character-driven narratives and the ability to recruit NPCs through quests, but the storyline can feel grind-heavy and occasionally non-intuitive. Overall, the story adds charm and depth, especially for those who enjoy quest-driven MMORPGs despite some rough execution.

    • “Storyline is fun, deep, hard, challenging.”
    • “Each character has their own story and they are connected to other characters.”
    • “Brilliant story, I enjoy reading the conversations with most NPCs (but if you don't, you can skip it easily).”
    • “Tldr; this game has beautiful artwork, an amazing soundtrack, and an interesting theme (and storyline, if you can get past the atrocious English translation work...did they hire a 5 year old to translate this?!).”
    • “There's no real plot or storyline to speak of, and plenty of Engrish dialogue to go around -- in-game and out.”
    • “- some quests are non-intuitive: half of the time you're spoon fed; the other half, you'll be left clueless (Google ftw though).”
  • graphics
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are generally regarded as beautiful and artistically strong, with notable artwork and aesthetics that evoke a unique, often Victorian or JRPG-inspired style. However, many reviewers acknowledge that the visuals are dated, sometimes comparable to older console generations like the PS2, and may not meet modern standards. Despite this, the art style and detailed designs help compensate for the outdated technical quality.

    • “I remember beta testing this game, and thinking how beautiful the graphics were, truly.”
    • “The graphics were gorgeous; I believe they even won some awards for it, but the best part was its soundtrack.”
    • “+ beautiful aesthetics & graphics: Victorian women that look like JRPG characters.”
    • “Sound, graphics, mechanics, everything in this game feels like it's from 1999.”
    • “The visuals are okay, if a little dated, but everything else is just typical, boring MMO material.”
    • “Graphics are outdated.”
  • grinding
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in this game is notoriously intense and time-consuming, often described as a "mindless grinding hell" typical of Korean-style MMORPGs. Players frequently face months or even years of afk farming and repetitive tasks to afford essential gear and participate in endgame content, with some resorting to significant real-money spending due to steep grind requirements. While the game offers some convenience like multi-character parties and automated farming modes, the extensive grind and pay-to-win elements have deterred many players.

    • “However, you'll spend months if not years of afk grinding just to be able to do some of the end game content; I got into end game after 2+ years of afk grinding, and even died because I forgot to refill bullets before going afk overnight.”
    • “No way was I going to sit for 2 months, grinding every day all day, just to get the loot I needed to sell to get the gear needed to complete the main quests.”
    • “The end game is one long grind that either costs a fortune in real cash (I spent $800 over 5 years), or requires hundreds upon hundreds of hours of grinding, needing a clan and high-level gear for much of the content.”
  • gameplay
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is noted for its unique multi-character control system and diverse character roster, offering engaging mechanics and a large variety of quests. However, some find it outdated, with dated graphics and limited endgame content, and the progression often feels slow or uninspired without significant investment. Overall, it appeals primarily to those who appreciate its distinct mechanics despite some flaws in pacing and event design.

    • “Easy to use game mechanics and lots of quests to play your own way.”
    • “Enjoyed the unique character/team mechanic of the game.”
    • “If you have the stomach to avoid the cash shop and feel pathetic at endgame, you'll likely find the gameplay fascinating, the multi-character-control system engaging, and the diversity and raw scale of the character roster and content to be worth the time you invest.”
    • “But if you have any interest in actual exciting combat or gameplay, well-written characters or dialogue, end-game content or raids and don't want to spend $800 to make that happen, go play just about anything else.”
    • “I really tried to go into Granado with an open mind, but no matter how much I tried to change my view, the game's mechanics spoke for itself.”
    • “- Some mechanics of daily global events are a bit bad because the time you have, like to grab a buff of attack and defense for 24h you only have a few minutes.”
  • humor
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's humor arises mostly unintentionally, with laughable bugs and hilariously poor translation work providing comic relief. While some character details and quirky mechanics offer mild amusement, the humor is largely overshadowed by repetitive gameplay and delayed content.

    • “Though there have been some bugs from lag that made me laugh out loud at times!”
    • “But the worst part is the translation work this game got... holy cow, is it hilariously bad.”
    • “This is the funny part though, it barely earns much!”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers a unique experience but is heavily marred by aggressive and unpleasant monetization practices, which significantly detract from its appeal unless these cash grabs are addressed.

    • “An extremely unique game mired by extremely disgusting monetization practices.”
    • “All this is void if they've fixed the cash grabs.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is generally poor, with frequent bugs and a problematic user interface that detracts from the overall experience.

    • “Very bad, very buggy UI.”
    • “Yes, sometimes it is a buggy game.”
  • character development
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users appreciate the game's character design and find the story mode engaging, highlighting well-crafted character development.
