Comment: sadly aqw gets boring fast. This game is 2d browser but the quest and lvl are slow and sometimes boring. This game has so many lags and bad features. And alot of the game cost money. You could still give this a chance but it will get boring. At least some of it is free. Well SOME OF IT.

Comment: Alper123@ Aqworlds is worth to play of course.Now it's got a huge upgrade.Here the new edited information about Aqworlds.

Aqworlds is one of the best MMORPG in the browser community,but compare to client based MMORPG,it'll have a bit of a hard time completing with those games.

Pros:
Great Storyline.
Cool Items.
Cool Monsters.
Great Seasonal and Wars Event.
Great Community.
Great Stat System.
Enhancements improves your stats.
Weapon Damage now is different and balance.
Traveling is 2 times faster now.
Skills are balanced now.
Easier to lv up and class lv up.
Pvp has started,but members only for now.
Bosses are more of a challenge.
Easier to kill monsters now.


Cons:
Unbalanced Gold Drops.
Rares don't have much of a different compare to Non-Rares.
Items prices are very unbalanced.
Adventure Coins(payed currency)items price are very high price.


So I will rate AQWorlds 8/10.

Comment: AQWorlds is one the better browser-based games that you can quickly log onto without loading up a larger game file (even though those tend to be better). Unlike what others think, AQW really has a nice community, where you can make friends if you try (being active, posting around the forums, joining a clan). AQW can get boring once in a while, but the weekly releases bring you back to the game. Lag, as others think, is not a major problem (though still is a problem, especially on some release days) as most of the time there either is none, or can be avoided. It still may not contain stats, which are major to a MMORPG, but they, along with PVP, are under work and in testing through the PTR (available to members). As I have played many MMOs, this is the only one I keep coming back to.

Some weapon enhancement has the same weapon damage.
Rares don't have much of a different compare to Non-Rares.
Items prices are very unbalanced.
Adventure Coins(payed currency)items price are very high price.
Leveling up is 5x harder than in Dragonfable,10x harder than in Mechquest and 50x harder than in Adventurequest and Warpforce.
Doesn't look or feel like that you are playing with 1000 players ingame.
60% chance that you will fight monsters alone.

So I will rate AQWorlds 6/10.

Comment: Played this game in beta and came back recently to see how things had progressed. Overall Artix Ent. is still throwing all the glitz and general hoohaw at the players but the main flaws in the game are not being addressed. The ever present massive lag continues on all servers that is if you can get to one and when you get to one it takes forever to load enough to allow you to go somewhere and lucky when you arrive you will be able to fight something effectively before lag and freeze kill you. Also the scammers hackers and cheaters have arrived in force. Dont bother with complaining though on the forum, rarely answered in any sincerely interested reply by the mods and heaven help you if you ask a hard question like how come the xp from monsters is suddenly varying from server to server and always lower than your level is entitled to, then leet forum players decide to trot out their superiority.
Sadly disappointed over all and adding PVP is hardly a solution to the more serious problems in the game.

Comment: I"ll give a sincere review which I hope people who are reading this and never tried the game may get the right idea of it:

Graphics: Everything is draw by the AE artists, with an impressive attention to details. While the game is mostly 2D, there are 3D elements which don"t affect the gameplay at all. I give a special observation to weapons, as you can count in the fingers of one hand how many weapons have the same design, and have 3D effects which only help to make your character look more impressive. Seeing Miltonius job, I give it a 9.

Sound: This is honestly, AE"s worst part. They don"t add musics to their games, so the Sound scores tend to go low. I would dare to give it a 1, even if they don"t add musics for the lag, but there"s one thing which makes this score a bit higher: The Voltaire events. Voltaire, as you can search, is a musical artist who performs shows, and worked with shows Like The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. He has a few Friday the 13th events from time to time (the first one, argumentatively the best, is still available, but to members). The musics are straight from his albums, with a completely new lyric due to this being a more kid-oriented game. I give it a 5.

Gameplay: This part is hard. The battle system works pretty well, and the skills fluid very well. However, the main problem is the lack of Stats and PvP. The final test will happen this Thursday, and after it PvP (Which allows different modes, like Team Matches and Kill the Leader) and Stats will be released. Don"t get me wrong, the game has no problems at all with the battle system, but I believe the lack of these factors don"t allow me to give the system a really good score. Seeing the progress so far in the tests, I can give it a 8, and I assure it lower it can"t get.

Content: The game is full of content, and it expands weekly. The Chaos Lord Saga (The main story so far) is still one the 4th of the 13 Chaos Lords, so new players can catch up easily) is full of items and has great cutscenes to allow the player to follow the story other than the usual "Read the Quest log". However, it"s not the main focus of the game. You can enjoy the Clue-inspired location, Sleuthhound Inn, where your character plays in a similar way to the Clue game, or you can go to a Clubhouse and throw magical potions at your friends. There"s also the rare events, where players can get items available only once in the game! Those items don"t do anything, but the fact you own them is a great sigh you are a experient player in the game. The fact the game never gets old and there"s always something to look at least every Friday is a great thing, and I can only give it a 10, thanks to the team always releasing, even in the worst scenario!

Free Versus Paid Content: I"ll be honest to you, AQW is a free-to-play game, and Free-Players always get something in a release. About 90% of the zones are Free, with no Member Zone of major importance. Members never get kicked in the chin with releases, while the content to free-players tends to be restricted. By content I mean items, because that"s the only real advantage in membership. Members can enhance their weapons to level 18, giving it more damage, while free-players enhance them to level 8. This may change with the release of stats. The fairest score I can give is 8, because whatever a item is good or not is up to the person.

Final notes:

AQW is a good game that lacks important features. PvP and stats will be released before the end of the year, or at the end of January in the worst scenario, while Trade won"t be implemented at all. Thanks to the game expanding every week, this can be easily forgotten. If you seek a casual experience, AQW is just perfect. More hardcore gamers might feel that after level 20 (the current caps, which different from what some reviews suggest, is not insane, it can be hit in 1 month without farming 24/7, and will be expanded after Stats get released) things get boring, but both sides will enjoy the weekly releases.

I could give it a 9, but the lack of the key features mentioned while I"m writing this bring the score down.

That"s it, I hope you enjoyed my review. Thanks for reading,
Myself

Comment: I hate to discriminate this game because I was one of the original fans of Artix entertainment, but I think this is plain old )(#&$. Back when I was still ten I thought Artix Entertainment was quite enjoyable, but this is an insult to all MMORPG. For one, Artix Entertainment tweaks its gaming structure to be addicting, and ultimately fails.

1. There is no plot, no goal to the game, and the player is confused whether they should accumulate gold sums or just kill monsters for the fun of it.
Artix Entertainment really just throws in a bunch of monsters and epilogues and expects the player to decide the situation. This game is missing a spine, a structure and against the competition of Runescape, World of Warcraft, and Maplestory, this game is too generous to the player as if Artix Entertainment was trying to structure a perfect world.
The classes in the game are mediocre and completely rely on rest making one of the only two viable classes to be the mage and the healer because it can restore its mp and hp. All the classes run out of mp so quickly, there usually isn't a significant difference from the continuous attack. Moreover, the skills appear only as a novelty.
The game speaks for itself on its lack of players, exetreme censoring, and lack of stucture. As much as I hate to berate Artix entertainment, this game is horrible.

Comment: Free MMORPG,No downloads,Nice gameplay.This game is great except only if you are "upgraded".If youre not,it would still be fun but w/ a lot of disadvantages.There are a lot of quests,but still it is a bit reppetetive since the quests will not go away.(If you abandon a quest,you will need to kill a lot of of monsters which will be boring).When you go to crowded places,it would be lag(sometimes firefox restarts T_T).Its still good 2.5D game,so i rate it 9.

Comment: Too simple for its own good. The days of little browser MMOs like Runescape are over. Artix may draw in players for AdaventureQuest, DragonFable, and MechQuest but I don't think it translate well into a MMORPG.

Comment: Artix Entertainment should be sued for utterly destroying the sanity of people who actually have taste in MMORPGs. It's basically a multiplayer adaptation of the mistakes of their other 3 fresh hunks of Dog Poo. It's just a moronic "game" with terrible graphics, billions of ploys to make you burn your wallet on a BROWSER-BASED GAME on MACROMEDIA FLASH with absolutely no redeeming values such as fun at all. You don't have anything like a quest log so you have no idea what to do for a quest unless you can memorize 10,012 tasks to do at once just for one level. Ridicolous.

Comment: Graphics: While all the graphics are in 2D, they outmatch the other three AE games by far. The graphics have a more manga-like approach, and border on cartoon-like, instead of faintly realistic. However, all the female characters show quite a bit of leg. 87%
Animations: Some of the animations are well done, but when players run, any back items will flutter in the most unrealistic ways. The movements of some players and monsters are very jerky and not well thought out. 69%
Sound Effects: Horrible. They are sound recordings of everyday sounds like a basketball bouncing or someone splashing in a puddle. There is no excuse for this. 6%
Monsters: The mosters are... erm... original. Their names are not quite as stupid as those in DragonFable, and they are all very different in appearance. They range from easy to defeat, to ridiculously difficult. 72%
Difficulty: Leveling up is hard. Very hard. It would take a few hours to level up to level two, and there are many more levels after that. At least it"s challenging though. 43%
Combat System: The combat system is no longer turn based, which is great. It is in real time, and players can work together to defeat one monster, unlike other MMORPG"s. 100%
Armor and Classes: For a game in Alpha testing, there is a large seletion of armors and classes, including ninja, pirate, rogue, warrior, beserker, etc. They are all slightly different. 86%
Quests: The quests are pretty easy, but the game is bugged, and chain quests often reset themselves. 62%
Weapons: The weapons have great design and originality, and are not just one design with different colours. Some are animated, and man ycan be obtained from drops. However, many must be "enhanced" and so many weapons hit exactly the same. 63%
The pets are ridiculous. One must be a member to own one, and even then, they do little to no damage. 11%
Overall, this game is pretty good for a browser based game. Unfortunatly, the best priveleges are reserved for those with a membership, which is a monthy or per year fee. Final score is 45%

Comment: For a browser based game this is an alright one to choose. If your looking for a free to play browser based game i don recommend this one because of the guardian membership or if your looking for one were you can fight other players also known as PVP i do not recommend this one.

This is another one of those game similar to Dragon Fable and of course the very similar graphics since there created by the same maker and both very similar gameplay style but still AQworlds is better.

The graphics aren't great and are 2D but i guess thats not what the games for the focused more on there quests and improving guardians.

The map is ok it has a fair bit of towns for a broswer based RPG but doesn't come close to the usual amount of towns in MMORPG's. But each big town will come in its own way to help you with quests for your class and the usual health potion store and sometimes a weapon store but of course theres an armory, a pet shop and a bar in some towns.

There are a few cool classes like the Rogue and the Wizard which keep the game interesting in some ways for a fair bit of players.

All in the game deserves a 6.8 for a broswer based but for an RPG a 4.

Comment: Been playing this since the first day of alpha and its been great to really see it come to fruition. Graphics are clean and simple, although still pretty, and the community is one of the best I've been a part of. There is no crafting or PVP at this time (an aspect that will be addressed in the near future), but the number of collectible weapons really give this game legs while its simple, easy to understand atmosphere makes it great for those new to the RPG genre or video games in general.

Comment: This is a fairly new game, but the servers are well populated. While it doesn't have crafting of PvP, it has plenty of things to replace. Thanks to instancing every location, you can play it with others, do a quest solo, or play with your friends. It also has a nice weapon system: weapons are just designs and can be leveled up with gold. Who needs to farm for weapons when that old weapon from level one can be just as good if you spend a little gold? Overall, it's better than lots of MMOs and is in your browser. Think pocketsized MMO.

Comment: Although it feels funny at first walking up to a monster and killing it, it quickly becomes fun as other people join in. There are cureently 5 servers and all 5 are well populated. Like the last reviewer, AQW is fun than Runescape for me too.

Comment: Pretty good. For now you must be a Guardian, DA-holder, or star captain in ANY ONE of the other three games to play as the others said. It won't be like that permanently though.
If you don't have any upgraded accounts in any of them and do not want/cannot upgrade, then just be patient and wait to play later on.
It's a little laggy and has a few glitches atm, but that's what beta tests are for. To find and fix the bugs and glitches and lag. It was MUCH worse in Alpha stage, trust me. I was there since the first day.

I say AE did a very nice job at it so far, considering it's an MMORPG made in flash to play in your web browser.
9/10

This game is extremely fun, has the BEST community I've ever seen in any game, extremely nice and helpful mods, and it's just better than a lot of games out there. Also the graphics are EXCELLENT for being a 2-D game. Only con is there is no pvp yet, but that will come soon! You have to try this game!!

Comment: This game is currently in its Alpha phase and is only accepting testers who have upgraded accounts from its other games. Testing is only at certain times and this is new to AE(the company), those who have played their other games understand this. I believe that they do it great while keeping the aspect of their other games. I haven't played yet but my friends tell me it is fun. If you already played the other games and have it upgraded, try this during one of its testing times.
