If anyone remembers the game review of Rusty Hearts I posted last year, then you'd remember that I really enjoyed the game.  And if you don't know about it, Rusty Hearts is a well developed Action Beat-em-up MMORPG that's free-to-play published by Perfect World and available on Steam.  Ever since then, a lot of content has been added in for those who wanted to pay for the items.  Just yesterday, a huge patch was released and the new expansion called Rusty Hearts: Reborn welcomed both new players and veteran players into the game with a lot of new content.  Avatars that once required real money is now part of the free content for all players.  A 3rd weapon of choice has been added for each class.  New dungeons, dialogues, and items have been added as well.  Here's a run down of what to expect:
-Meilin, Roselle, Edgar, and Leila are now selectable characters in character creation
-New Dungeon for the extra characters (alternate beginning story)
-New weapon focus and skill manager breaks classes into 3 paths
-Third weapon choice and focus for all classes: Glaive, Twin Swords, Demon Hands, Weapon Bag
-New Character selection User-interface (a lot more organized now)

I already had a Leila for one of the events not too long ago, but I was happy to see all the other classes available too.  The new forest area for the extra characters feels very unpolished with glitchy animations, bad translation dialogues (which really bugs me because the core game's dialogue is great), repetitive music for the first two dungeons (which also bugs me since Rusty Hearts is filled with incredible tracks), and boring enemies.  Still, the core game is there and continues for those extra characters level 7 onwards.  I'm really excited about the new weapons and am on my way on choosing a focus for one of them.  All-in-all, this was a great update for all veteran players to come back to and one that new comers would enjoy.
