Ancient Kingdoms

I enjoyed it until the endgame, which is unnecessarily grindy. There is absolutely no reason to have such atrocious drop rates for quest items and gear to progress further in a mostly single player game. I've seen other people compare this to aspects of EverQuest. Congratulations you emulated the worst, most unfun aspects of that game. Quest to get a ancient lumber from a Treant...kill hundreds...no drop. Why?! Also, a lot of the challenge of the later dungeons is just a DPS check because mobs are purposely to close together and respawn to fast. There are no off tanks, there is no monk with feign death to prevent wipes on crazy pulls. Cant do it yet, grind out 50-100 more veteran points. Lame. Also, to max slayer you have to kill each rare or boss 50 times? For only 10% damage reduction? Does anyone want to sit there for that? Completely unreasonable. I'll update my review after release if some of these things have been addressed.

If you grew up with games in the 2000 you will like this game. Ive only played about 65 hours atm but I can see myself spending a 100 or so more hours with just how the game is right now, with more content it will only increase.

Fun game for MMO players who don't have the time to play online anymore.

There's still a ton left for me to experience, but so far I'm having a great time with it. It's a really solid game. The quests have been fun and rewarding, exploration has been enjoyable, and I love the nostalgic old-school MMORPG feel. I especially liked the dungeon designs and the variety of enemies. I'm looking forward to seeing what else the game has to offer, but based on my experience so far, it's an easy recommendation.

This game seems really cool for the first few quests. After that it gets repetitive and boring really fast. I played for a few hours and so far there's only a SINGLE quest line. There aren't side quests or anything as far as I can tell. It's just a single quest where you run back and forth to from the quest area to the same quest giver until the first area is mostly explored. After that, the quest giver hands you off to the next quest giver who starts the whole thing all over again. After I completed the initial area, I was level 15. The next quest giver was beyond a region filled with level 22 monsters which made me feel like I was missing something somewhere. I looked but found no other quests anywhere. Here's what I experienced for the first couple of hours. I got no cool loot drops. No armor, no weapons, no nothing. The only gear I got was from the single quest giver as a reward for doing errands. Nothing in the environment is interactable besides some plants and very few scattered chests that are mostly empty. None of the random crates, boxes, barrels, torches, etc can be interacted with. This makes the world feel dead with no reason to explore because there's nothing to find. I found no job/profession trainers (despite there being crafting stations and reagents from drops). I found no side quests despite there being NPCs everywhere. Enemies are generic and only auto-attack you. Some of them (like the cave worms) make the most annoying sounds when attacking. This is actually where I stopped playing. There's an endless horde of these things in a maze of a cave you have to slog through during the only quest line in the game so far. A pixel art faux-mmorpg sounded like an amazing idea, but this game just does not deliver on any level. Don't waste your time and money.

Perfect so far, I've been looking for something like this for awhile. Simple, 2D mmo that will run on any potato. Dev is responsive and pushing updates. Ignore the review complaining about time gates, that's not really an issue. Will update once I actually get somewhere. Edit 1: okay I love this. There are a few things that I'm not sure how they work but the world feels alive.

I don't mind the grind as long as I can feel the progression. But sadly this game isn't. For example you encounter this elite/boss, you see all these possible drops thinking to yourself "oh good I can have something good". But no the elite/boss can have a dozen of possible drops yet there still chances it drop nothing (the chance is pretty high too). I can't tell you how many times I have kill an elite or boss they drop nothing and have to wait for however long they respawn again and kill them again just to be disappointed again and again and again.
