Love Ragnarok Online?? Then you migh love this one. Its Ragnarok Battle Offline (RBO). Its kinda beat ‘em up game, also contains some RPG elements.The player creates a character from one of six basic classes and one unlockable class, allocate points to the character’s stats and skills, and then enter one of the stages. These classes are Acolyte, Archer, Magician, Merchant, Swordsman, Thief, and Novice.

Each class has a male and female version which has slightly different attacks. Male characters tend to be stronger and more HP, while the female characters tend to have more useful supporting moves and more SP. For example, only the female Thieves have the “Ninja Rope” air dash technique compared to the males’ regular air dash, and only the female version of the Acolytes can earn the powerful “Luna Buster Lariat”.

Up to 3 people can play at once, using the keyboard or joysticks or gamepads. You can rise your char stats on game just like the Ragnarok Online.

There are eight stages in the initial release of the game. The character cannot proceed to the next level before beating the current level. The eight levels are reminiscent of Ragnarok Online. There is a secret ninth level in Prontera City which is unlocked if all eight levels have been beaten with the Novice class.

There is also 3 expansion packs. The first expansion, RBO Extra Scenario Vol. 1, was released on August 14, 2005. Scenario Vol. 1 added two new stages, an arena mode with 50 stages (10 of them are unlocked by finishing the previous 40 with each class), some character balances, and increased difficulty such as doubling boss and mini-boss damage. A second expansion, RBO Extra Scenario Vol. 2, was released on December 29, 2005. Scenario Vol. 2 added three new levels, decreased the requirements for unlocking the extra arenas from all classes to two classes, and further tweaked gameplay. The third expansion, RBO Extra Scenario Vol. 3, was released on May 21, 2006. Scenario Vol. 3 added one new level.

Now, enough for the chit-chat. Here’s the download links:

http://ragnarokbattle.filecloud.com/

There’s a bunch of RBO stuffs on that site. For Indonesian users, there’s also Patches for Indonesian Language. Download on ‘Patches’ folder, extract the file, then copy files to DATA folder on your Ragnarok Battle Offline folder. Remember to backup the original files before replace the patches.

note: when using Indonesian Patches, you might get problem loading your games. TO fix it, remove file “ETC.PAC” from Indonesian patch, then use the original “ETC.PAC” from installation.

Enjoy your game…
