Sword2 News & Events & Guides

Sword of the New World: Granado Espada is a fantasy 3D MMORPG that has already been a big hit in Korea. The game is based on Europe's exploration and conquest of America. This classic European theme is especially evident by the clothes and weapons of characters. For example, players look like they stepped out of a Three Musketeers movie and can do serious damage with old muskets and rapiers. The theme is not the only thing different about Sword of the New World because the game also offers a few great innovations to the genre that should have been done by now. First, players have their very own families made up of all their characters. This seemingly simple and fun feature allows all the characters of a player to share the same last name. Besides just adding to the fun factor, families are also important due to family vs. family duels and another great feature known as Multiple Character Control. Instead of controlling one character and/or various forms of pets, Sword of the New World allows players to control up to three full characters at the same time! This is the feature that will make or break or the game. If it is successful, other MMOs better take notice. All in All, the free MMORPG genre has a new major player. Sword of the New World won't have quite the impact on the genre as Rappelz has had due to restrictions for free play, but Sword of the New World Vis is one of the most innovative MMOs today.

This game looks uber! It has five classes, great graphics, and one of the only MMORPGs that incorporates guns successfully. I mean you can shoot the enemy, you can hit them with the butt of your rifle, or you can attach a bayonet and stab enemy. You can also dual-wield pistols and fire away fast, but at the cost of accuracy. If that wasn't enough, you can also use rapiers, 2handed swords, staffs, or just your bare freakin fists. I give it a perfect score because it is the most original MMORPG I have seen in awhile.
