Alicia Online
Alicia Online is an online fantasy horse racing game that was released in Korea. The game looks very promising with the racing and horse breeding features of it.
In casual games, it is said that you have about five to fifteen seconds to convince a user to keep playing. Within that time, everything needs to be as easily understandable and satisfying to play as possible. Ease of access and handholding tutorials are a staple of successful casual games on web and mobile platforms.One might think that a similar rule of thumb would be employed for a game about anime-looking girls riding races on fantasy horses.
One would be wrong.Alicia Online requires you to download the game and a launcher separately, has an installer that shows seemingly random characters with the instructions telling you “Dont pay attention to the incorrect symbols, it's ok ” (likely an issue with translating from the original Korean), and the character creator is basically an HTML form. Inside the actual game, the accessibility grows marginally better, but the whole game suffers from a lack of translation in some elements of UI and tutorial.Many of these issues can probably be blamed on the game’s unusual existence as a fan remake: The original Alicia was only available in Korean and has gone offline years ago. This new version is made by a different team and is completely unmonetized, staying alive as a pure passion project. The premium currency is still part of the game’s UI and mechanics, however, and can be won through daily quests and with a bit of luck, by racing. Your RanchOnce you’re past these initial hurdles of accessibility, you arrive on your ranch on horseback.
You can move around the houses and field to learn the basic controls or you can talk to a small handful of NPCs whose text boxes seem to be limited to one or two lines each. Either you cannot dismount from your horse at all, or the option is so well hidden that I have not figured it out yet. Neither would particularly surprise me, because this game makes a lot of strange choices.Instead of letting you actually go to the shop or the racetrack or your horse’s stall on the Ranch, the game offers “Horse Care”, “Racing” and “Shop” menus from a UI bar at the bottom.Horse CareIn the horse care screen, the player can use consumable items like brushes, foods and toys to interact with their horse. If you want to keep caring for your horse, you also need to go participate in races so you can afford more food and care items.The animations for feeding and playing with your horse are actually quite endearing, and none of the tasks take long enough to grow tedious – which is a problem that a lot of horse grooming mechanics in games have.
RacingThe online racing against other player is the focal point of the game, and in many ways also the aspect that works best. Unlike some stable simulation games, Alicia even doesn’t try to be realistic about how its horse racing works: your horse can double jump and glide on ghostly pegasus wings afterwards, and there’s a drifting (“sliding”) mechanic that gets you around tight curves with a dash at the end, if you time it right.You power up your boost energy by jumping over obstacles or by collecting horseshoes and then use that boost cleverly to get ahead. A second racing mode is called “magic” and is about using and evading magical power-ups.Like everything else in the game, the races are badly tutorialized, but once I got the hang of them, I actually started to appreciate the challenge they offer. The maps are varied, pretty and well-made, with shortcuts and collectibles giving the player some motivation to grow familiar with the tracks in training mode before tackling PvP competitions.
The control scheme is a bit unintuitive, but tight and precise once you actually read the tutorial and get how it all works. What I like most about it is how fast it feels. Many horse games I’ve tried recently have controls that feel much slower and clunkier than riding an actual horse in real life. Alicia may not be realistically accurate either, but it feels a lot better to play than many of its competitors in the genre.Winning races gets you experience and carrots, which you can use to buy more care items, fancy saddles or even new horses. The rate at which you gain experience is slow, and the activities you can do outside of the racing itself are few, so you really have to enjoy and want to spend time with the racing for this game to be enjoyable.
