Gameplay

The game play for Legend of Ares is surprisingly interesting for those who will like this style of game. When you begin the game, you will be able to choose between four different areas: The Archer, the Knight, the Sorcerer and the Spearman. This allows you to choose your own style of gameplay (whether it will be PvE or PvP), and how interesting the game itself can be for you. Many who will wind up playing Legend of Ares will find that there is a strong PvP base for this game. You are going to wind up joining a guild that is going to go to direct battle with other guilds in the game. These are not computer generated, but are the others in the MMORPG, bring that online gaming element into the situation.

Now, those who are looking into this game may be worried that there is too much fighting in the game. Sure, you are going to want to fight in the game, but you may not want to be doing that the entire time you are playing. There are safe zones in the game that will make it so that you cannot be attacked. Because of the size of the game, however, it is nearly impossible to find somewhere that you can be safe from. It is incredibly easy for large groups from one nation to attack, meaning that you will almost always be present with the fighting sequences. This is a game that relies on the PvP fighting for it’s base and interest. If you do enjoy the massive amounts of group fighting, however, you will find great interest in this game.

Graphics

The graphics from Legend of Ares may not be at the top of their game, they are also not the worst. This is a great game for those who are more worried about the actual game and the storyline itself, rather than the graphics of the game and how the game appears. While this is not something that is terrible, it is not anything that is going to blow you away.

With that being said, however, the graphics for this game are not bad or disappointing. The game features graphics that are somewhat crisp, but are not nearly as solid as you would expect. This is the only thing that can really bring this game down; some people are going to be somewhat disappointed by the graphics. As far as the other graphics, however, there are some positives. The colors are more user friendly than many MMORPG games, especially considering the background of the game. The game is not as dark, and does not feature as bright of colors as other games do in an attempt to work with the fantasy aspect of the game.

The graphics for the characters are decent, just as they are with the rest of the game. It is possible to customize the character. There is not a lot of customization available, but what is there is decent enough to make people happy. The characters are not meant to stick out from one another; the idea is that they are a guild, and an army. When they are moving in groups, protecting one side (or fighting for one specific side), they are acting as one and should be seen as one. Those who like to make multiple changes to their characters may not like this, but it fits with the overall theme of the game.

Difficulty

The game is not that difficult for those who are just beginning, simply because there are beginner towns, and those who are willing to help you learn how to play the game. The difficulty will grow, but so will the abilities of our character. There are over 100 levels; needless to say, by the time you start gaining levels, you will have a great handle on the game. It is not a difficult game to understand, but is also not a cakewalk, making it a good game to play for somewhat of a challenge.

Issues

Legend of Ares has only run into a few small problems as far as the game itself is concerned. Like many other MMORPG games online, the game has run into the issue of not being able to get rid of those who have learned to hack the game. While they may not completely ruin your experience, they can weaken it or make it harder. Other than that, however, this game has not run into multiple issues that affect your ability to play the game or enjoy the game.

Storyline and Interest Level

The storyline for the game is decent, but is not something that is incredibly involved or too difficult to handle. The premise is simple; you are a part of one realm, and you don’t like the other. You will both attack and defend for your own side.

Purchasing Items

There are a lot of people who are going to want to be able to add more to their game experience. Fortunately, Legend of Ares allows you to do so. You can easily add multiple items into your game to change around how you play. You can even by currency in the game, with real money, to make the game that much easier to play. If you are willing to pay money, you can get the items and other things in the game that will make it easier for you to get to the end of the game. It is important to note that this is not necessary, however. You can finish the game without having to buy a single thing.

Overall, Legend of Ares is a great game for those who are looking for something fun yet simple online.
