by ByteStixSo today we tried out Legend of Ares. Another MMORPG I bet most of you have never heard of! It’s a pretty obscure MMORPG having a pretty small population, published by Redfox Games, the people who did RF Online and Karos Online.
Right off the bat we were greeted with minimal character customization – which – don’t get me wrong.. is understandable given when this game was released but compared to more recently released MMORPGs, even since 2012, it’s quite obvious how limited it is.
Which brings me to my next point: Graphics. Graphically, Legend of Ares is a pretty simple, pretty dated looking MMORPG. I mean in complete honesty – it looks worse than some games made around the same time.
Then we come to combat. It is literally the most mind-numbing combat I have ever had the pleasure (or displeasure, really) or engaging with. The combat was so slow, so boring that I spent literally an hour doing the following:
Click 1 to activate fireball skill. Right click 5-8 times until monster dies. Click 2 to active heal. Right click self to heal back to full HP.
Rinse and repeat.
That was the extent of my entire experience with the sorceress. Wiggy on the other hand just spammed right click until her MP ran out then just slowly shot with arrows until either she died, or the enemy did.
Eugh.
All in all – not a very pleasant experience, unlike when we played Karos Online earlier this week! Would I recommend this MMORPG to someone? Nope! Sorry all you Legend of Ares fans out there!
