Archlord 2

The setting to Archlord 2 is one that might seem familiar. God-like beings create a wonderful world, they bless it with life and leave an Archlord to safeguard it, to make sure it flourishes into something great.

Since living in peace and harmony can get boring, dark forces manage to manipulate the Archlord into wanting to seek absolute power and the destruction of his creators. Partially successful, the Archlord must now be stopped and you will be part of that great battle.

For those who are just starting off with Archlord 2, having only two playable factions might be a bit of a letdown, more so if you consider that there are just four classes to choose from. However this aspect tends to fade away once you enter the game and start playing. Despite the obvious and undeniable similarities between Archlord 2 and other MMORPGs, this one has plenty of unique elements that make it appealing.

Archlord 2’s world looks really good, it’s rich and the graphics are really good so you should expect a bit of lagging now and again if you’re in the minimum hardware requirements range. None the less, the game runs smooth without any major bugs.

In terms of gameplay, Archlord 2 is near identical in concept with other MMOs but it also manages to combine and offer some stuff in a different way. You have crafting, four branches of combat abilities to explore, stat points to assign and loads more.

In most MMORPGs it’s a bummer to have to start at level 1 gathering plants and fighting almost defenseless enemies. You won’t escape this aspect in Archlord 2 but at least it has a feature that allows you to get to where the quest is using just one click. It really cuts down the boredom level and gives you enough time to better understand what's going on.

Archlord 2 is a place that’s equally suited for novice gamers as well as those with plenty of experience behind them. You can choose to explore the world alone, doing quests or simply picking fights with mobs, or you can enter dungeons, participate in raids and PvP battles.

To end a short introduction, Archlord 2 is really nice. It has its distinct look and classic gameplay that makes it both inviting and challenging. It has a lot to offer so you should definitely try it out.
