Russian MMORPG Reign of Guilds has been released

The domestic studio Atlant Games is quite small — its core team consists of only five people. But they took on the implementation of an ambitious project Reign of Guilds — an MMORPG in the old style, like Lineage 2 or EverQuest, only with modern graphics and a first-person view. The game was in production for a long time, but finally they brought it to version 1.0 and released it in popular digital stores, including Steam and VK Play. Moreover, it is available for free — just download the client and create an account. We tell you what else is notable about this new release.

The game's action takes place in a fantasy world called Dvorran, where medieval knights battle huge beasts, walking skeletons, and oversized spiders. After creating a hero in the editor, the gamer is free to choose one of 14 professions and set off on adventures along any route — the map covering 100 km2 is immediately open for exploration. The continent is divided into counties and separate castles, and boss spawn points are specially marked on the terrain. Having mastered combat and travel, each user can change their character build at their discretion. In addition, the developers themselves promise that the actions of ordinary gamers will influence events in the virtual universe, even if it's about trading with NPCs, because a deal will affect the price of the item you buy or sell.

The project was originally conceived as old-fashioned and therefore difficult. There are no simplifications or automation here, and to level up any skill you must constantly use it in combat, crafting, or construction. But the traditional mechanics of the genre are in place: PvP and PvE battles, guild organization, branching dungeons, and a karma system. However, there is a nuance: the first reviews of the new release are mixed — people complain about the difficulty, technical errors, an overloaded interface, and frequent server maintenance.
