Game Description and Comments
Legend of Ares is a free 3D MMORPG that launched in 2006. A huge focus of the game is PvP combat whether it is in guild wars national wars or special territorial wars. You receive honor points from killing other players of rival nations and rival guilds. The more honor points you receive the higher you ranked in your nation. Instead of getting the chance to buy special items in a faction store like World of Warcraft Legend of Ares gives out attack and defensive power bonuses. The higher your ranking in your nation the bigger your bonus. However the huge focus on PvP will not likely appeal to players interested in heavy PvE content.
Key Features
- Free to play.
- The two warring nations are the Holy Empire and the Religious Alliance.
- Four basic classes that include the Spearman Knight Archer and Sorcerer.
- Each class has a different weight limit for the amount of goods they can carry.
- Strong PvP focus.
- Players get honor points for killing players of a rival nation or guild.
- The higher the ranking (based on honor points) in a player’s nation the larger the bonus of attack and defensive power the player receives.
- Can take part in territorial wars after reaching level 40.

Comment: Once you start gaining levels you will like to kill lower level players. Just try and make a high lvl friend who will defend you.

Comment: This game rocks! I only got it about 2 days ago but so far it rocks! I am level 21 and I am killing lvl 24 thieves. I am a sorcerer and the spells are brilliant. I like the legion idea and the graphics are quite good. The music is good but not brilliant. However it is a lot better then FlyFF.

Comment: It is an ok game. Very easy to level. Good Graphics and fun pvp. However the quests award you almost no xp so basically this game is just a grind fest. I got a level 31 knight and realized that I could be playing better. I recommend Rappelz over this any day

Comment: I have played this game. The classes are so unbalanced in this game it is unbearable. If you are a Sorcerer on this game you have to kill stuff like 5 levels lower then you just to gain experience. This only happens when you reach about level 30 or so. Graphics are ok

Very underrated MMORPG….
Looks similar to Metin2, gameplay is very nice, good character customazation is very nice feature
PVP is very good i like it and you should try this game it’s free
Game’s described as a medieval fantasy MMORPG, and although the name of the game references the Greek God of War Ares, the game doesn’t have much connection to Greek mythology for theme. Instead, Ares is more emblematic to the fact that this MMORPG is PvP-oriented, hence the war theme. Classes in the game seems pretty good, especially since the classes have their own skill tree system. Guilds seem to also be an integral part of this game. However, I wouldn’t recommend this game at all; although it’s available for download on Steam, the game is pretty old (dating back to 2006) and the game servers seem unreliable since they seem to always be offline. Overall, I’d rate this game a 3/5, mainly because the game servers aren’t maintained.
