ArchLord News & Events & Guides

3-Control: The control system "WASD" is one of the most irritating and disappointing control systems I've ever seen (yes, even worst than early Tomb Raider series). Poorly designed, while they could have worked a little more on this simple aspect of gameplay.

Graphics: Okay, WoW and Guild Wars hit the shelves on 2004. We are in 2006 now, so you'd expect an improvement in graphics from a 2006 game, right? Sorry, archlord gold   uses an old graphic engine from a Korean game, and basically the graphics aren't appealing at all. Feel free to check some screenshot to see the art for yourself.

Sound: Well there are sound effects, which aren't very nice, but they are alright. But the only impressive thing in the whole game is the music, beautifully performed by London (Philarmonic) Orchestra.

Value: Now the question arrises: There are good MMO's out there which cost monthly fee (WoW) or other online games which are free (Guild Wars). Is this game free? No. Codemasters tried to convince people that the monthly fee is less than WoW, but when you go back and think about PayPLUS system, you;ll definately change your mind. In order to improve your character, you need to pay loads of money every month to achieve different armors etc which make this game even a more expensive game than WoW.

Tilt: All in all, buy archlord gold  is an incompleted game which became famous because of the promises Codemasters gave their costumers, but the game became worse and worse over time. Don't bother with this game at all, there are definately better games out there that worth playing, and buy archlord gold  isn't one.
