"Fiesta" is a fairly standard MMORPG with somewhat limited customization. It does, however, have some good things going for it, including an appealing world and graphical style. When you start the game, you can choose between four classes: fighter, cleric, archer, and mage. Fighters are your basic melee class, and they can equip swords and axes. Clerics largely make use of their skills to aid allies in battle by healing, shielding, and increasing attack damage, though they do have some offensive skills. Archers attack from afar and are most useful against bosses because of their high attack strengths against individual enemies. Mages also attack from afar, but their spells are often most useful against groups of enemies.

Overall, each class is unique, requiring different strategies and equipment, and you might find yourself creating multiple characters just so that you can experience the individual gameplay that each character brings to the plate. There are five different stats that upgrade as you level: strength, dexterity, endurance, intelligence, and spirit. Strength describes your attack damage, dexterity describes your ability to dodge and aim, endurance describes your hit points and defense, and intelligence describes your magic damage. Spirit is the most unique of the stats, and it describes several different things: your defense against magic attacks, your spirit points, and your chance of scoring critical hits. While certain stats are obviously most important to be upgraded for certain classes (strength and endurance for fighters and intelligence for clerics and mages, for example), spirit is useful in different ways for each class, though never essential, making it a major customization choice for the individual player. Customization is, however, a bit more limited in "Fiesta" than it is in other MMORPGs because the game focuses its major upgrades on class changes at levels 20, 60, and 100. Besides these major changes, you are also able to purchase and build equipment.

Lastly, with each level up you receive one free stat point to upgrade any stat you like, in addition to the standard stats upgrades that that class receives. Some upgrades, such as mounts and pets, can only be purchased at the "Fiesta" cash store, which is somewhat unfortunate. Your movement speed in the game is a bit slow, and the idea of having to pay cash just so that you can move more quickly is a bit annoying. The quests tend to be pretty basic requests made by NPCs that have you kill certain monsters. There isn't much variety amongst the quests, and the game hinges the fun of each around the combat system. If you get bored of the strategies available to you, the game could potentially become tedious. One feature that "Fiesta" does boast, though, is kingdom quests, which take place throughout the day every two hours. Fifteen players join each instance of a kingdom quest and work together toward an objective. This creates a team-based experience that is far more fun than completing quests and leveling up on your own. Quests do get you to explore the different parts of the world, though, which have quite a bit of variety in look, if not in actual gameplay. In fact, one of the best things that "Fiesta" has going for it is its presentation.

The graphics aren't actually particularly good, but because it's aiming for a simple, cartoony style through the use of cel-shading, it manages to look appealing without having overly detailed graphics. Each avatar and environment is distinct from the next, and all look good. Furthermore, the music in the game is upbeat and enjoyable. Customization may not be as thorough as it could be, and the lack of quest variety can sometimes make gameplay a bit boring, but "Fiesta" has a quality presentation and a great world. It's definitely a free-to-play MMORPG that's worth trying out.

I been Playin since Closed Beta and a mage in Fiesta can handle its own. After level 40 you can pretty much solo with a mage. The Game itself is awesome. I highly recommend it.

sky i'm pretty sure magi aren't a solo class in any game. I mean think about it even with heavy magic damage you don't have the defense or evasion to hold you're own against mobs. So don't complain you cant solo it was your choice to pick the physical weakest class there is
