This is a review of Archlord, Archlord is a free MMORPG. The reason I started playing this game was because I’ve seen the movie Ben X, Ben X is a Flemish movie about an autistic boy who is addicted to this game and in this game he is the archlord. After watching the movie we got the game on CD. Looks like Codemasters have sponsored this movie Archlord is a game with a terrible history, it came out in 2006 as a normal MMO, monthly fees and such, but there were such a lot of bugs in the game, they had to stop asking monthly fees and later the game came out for free.

So here’s the video, you hear my voice, but I transformed it because I have such a heavy and monotone voice lol, so it’s me on helium.

My opinion of the game:
This game doesn’t have a story line at all so that’s a minus, the only ‘story’ is becoming the archlord. The sound is quite good, but repetitive, they should have made more music (the sound you hear on the video isn’t the sound of the game).

Then the races and classes, one stupid thing is that you can’t have male and female classes, the class is either male or female, so I found it stupid that there weren’t male elves or female human warriors/archers. There also isn’t a white mage class, so you always need to have lots of potions with you to beat a boss, I just need to tap the potions button in order to beat real hard bosses, so these are also negative points.

There are also quite some bugs, but I explain that in the video.
The big battles, once you reach a high level, take long. I’ve seen a guy of lvl 50 fighting a creature of lv60 and that battle took over 10 mins.
Positive points are the well worked out PvsP systems, and the newly added castle sieges.
Castle sieges are guilds who battle each other 1 group protecting the castle, the other attacking. That’s another example of the well worked out PvsP system.
The map isn’t too big so you’re almost never alone.
That was my review of archlord, I would advise this only if:
- You have no money to buy a decent MMORPG
- You like MMORPG’s
- You like to play PvsP battles
- You want to play this game every minute of your life to become the archord
- You don’t care about all the negative points I’ve written down here.
So this was my archlord review, if you should be interested just add me to Xfire my name is ‘Kinshejsi’ or send me a message on my youtube account.
