Royal Quest

Royal Quest is a ‘soft-spoken’ MMORPG in the sense that the way it looks and plays kind of sends out the idea that it was created for the novices of the genre. It’s not cluttered with tons of features and mechanics, there’s no overly complicated HUD to deal with and the graphics are simplified without being bad.

The game really does have a harmless look to it. It’s a nice blend between the graphics that were popular a few years back but redesigned and blessed with smooth and well polished animations. It certainly is an appealing game and it might be more so to those who consider that simplicity is the way to go.

Royal Quest however still offers fairly complex and well balanced options when it comes to character customization and skill repertoire. There are four main classes to choose from, none of which are very original and each one has two subclasses to opt for. Regardless of the character you choose to create, they all have a wide range of skills and talents to learn and use in combat.

And speaking of, fighting is done in the classic MMORPG manner, pressing a few keys to combine your skills in the best way possible and occasionally running away when things get tough.

Like with most if not all MMORPGs, the start in Royal Quest is the same. You’re worthless without some basic training and you won’t become someone if you don’t start off picking some flowers and fighting some defenseless critters. The game offers a very large number of quests to keep you busy but that won’t be enough.

For this reason Royal Quest offers PvPvE combat and throws in a Castle Siege mode as well. To all of that add in a few funny looking pets and team based quests and Royal Quest will keep you in front of the PC for a long time.

While playing, you can’t not notice the ridiculously small inventory which can be extended but by purchasing special currency, using real life currency. There are other slightly unpleasant aspects such as that one but if you;re not in a rush to be the best, Royal Quest is more than OK.
