Gameplay
Kal Online is a good game, but sometimes a bit boring. The fun starts at Level 50. If you are totally new to Kal, and you don't have a good weapon/armor(G40, G42), you will have a very hard time. The leveling is hard after Lv30, and even harder after 50. Getting money is also hard. Maybe you are lucky, and you will get a good drop...
Graphics
Kal has a very good graphics. You don't need an 5000$ computer to max all settings. Just make sure you put Bloom effect on.
Sound
The background music is a shit. You need to mute it (otherwise you will get a headache after a while xD), and play some music. Other things (skills, etc.) has good sound.
