* CriticalHit: A part of the combat system.
* ElementalPowers / StandardStatusEffects: The Mage/Warlock spells.
* FakeBalance: Too much to list.

The game was launched in Korea and Japan in 2007. [[http://wonderking.ndoorsgames.com/ A North American version]] followed in 2010, and was hosted by nDoors Interactive. Interestingly, the gameplay in this version was drastically altered from the Korean and Japanese versions, and it was the only version with [[PlayerVersusPlayer PvP]]. However, ''[=WonderKing=]'' is now a {[Defunct Online Video Game|s}}, with the NA version going offline first in December 2011, and the other versions of the game following suit in 2014. There have been fan attempts to bring it back online, but none have been very successful.

''[=WonderKing=]'' is a FreeToPlay 2D sidescrolling {{MMORPG}} from Korea with a look and feel quite similar to that of [[VideoGame/MapleStory a certain other free-to-play 2D sidescrolling MMORPG from Korea]]. One thing that sets it apart from its more well-known counterpart is that the [[LevelGrinding Level Grinding]] is much quicker and currently goes up to level 140. While more end game content has been promised, such as new areas and mobs, new quests, and another upgrade to each class, such upgrades have been coming in very slowly. As such, the current end game content is rather sparse.

* LethalJokeCharacter: Knaves, while pretty much a joke in the main game, can be deadly in PvP if used correctly.

* BribingYourWayToVictory: The chests in the cash shop (which function like [[MapleStory the gachapon tickets from Maple Story]]) get you the best fashion items and pets. There's also exp cards and such, but the grind isn't so bad that you really need them.

* GameBreaker: This applies to a lot of skills such as Archer's poison, Berserker's Blazing Storm, Assassin's Blade of Vengeance, and pretty much every skill Saints have.

* Scout - This class specializes in ranged damage and traps. Can advance to [[MoreDakka Gunner/Gunslinger]] or [[TheArcher Archer/Ranger.]]

* BoringButPractical: The Knight's Confession skill, which [[CastFromHitPoints consumes a small amount of HP]] to speed up MP regeneration. Sure, you have to wait ''5 minutes after it wears off'' before reusing it, but you can save on expensive MP potions with high enough Wisdom and/or high-MP gears to burn for the whole time it takes to use it again. Also, you can save your action slots for more skills you would use.

* DifficultBut
* ElementalPowers/StandardStatusEffects: The Mage/Warlock spells.

''WonderKing'' is a free-to-play 2D sidescrolling {{MMORPG}} from Korea with a look and feel quite similar to that of [[MapleStory a certain other free-to-play 2D sidescrolling MMORPG from Korea]]. While thankfully it does away with the terribly long grind of its predecessor, the game is quite lacking in variety and new content is very slow to come in. There's not much to do besides [[LevelGrinding grinding]] and PvP, and later on most quests don't give a good enough reward to be worth doing anyway. And as of right now, even though you can power level very quickly it's not recommended as there is almost zero endgame content. [[PvPBalanced PvP is also very imbalanced]] and buggy.

*GameBreaker: This applies to alot of skills such as Archer's poison, Berserker's Blazing Storm, Assassin's Blade of Vengeance, and pretty much every skill Saints have.

*JokeItem: Some event items, but alot of them are actually useful

*VendorTrash: Plenty of monster drops, though alot is used in crafting and such.
