  • Summary: ArchLord is the creation of NHN Games, one of the biggest Korean MMO developers and publishers. ArchLord delivers a unique competitive premise to MMO gamers: the opportunity to rise to become the game world’s supreme ruler. Every month, one player takes control of the world and with it the opportunity to wreak havoc on their cowering enemies as the player gains control of supreme global Archlord powers. The game's world, Kantra, is fantastically realised with stunning visuals, created using Renderware, and the game features incredibly atmospheric in-game audio recorded by the world famous London Symphony Orchestra. ArchLord also introduces one of the most advanced and complex PVP combat systems ever in any MMO, which utilises sprawling free battle areas and special guild battlefields that enables players to battle in fearsome guild versus guild battles. With an ever-evolving storyline of conquest and betrayal, ArchLord presents an epic adventure in which players band together as they quest for the ancient relics of the Archons. Each relic bestows incredible power on those who possess it and when relics are combined they deliver ultimate mastery over the fundamental forces of creation for there can only be one Archlord!

    It ends up being a fun MMO romp for casual players and a rich PvP hamster wheel if you're sitting out there with an axe to grind. [Christmas 2006, p.84]

    Given a year or so, Archlord might be a solid title. Right now though? It's not worth the money.

    Whether you'll ever get to see much of it is highly questionable, though, given that the time between starting and becoming completely despondent with ArchLord is likely to be minimal.

    My score would be a 2 if I had to pay a dime for this, but as far as free MMORPGs are concerned, ArchLord is about as good as it gets. Like Diablo-style bashing for increasingly more powerful loot and abilities? You'll be into this. Want something more substantial? Get ready to pay for it.… Expand

    A bare-bones grinding experience. This game favors only the most dedicated player, but between the start to the ascension to the throne of the Archlord (which is unlikely for your Average Joe), you're going to be bleeding your eyes out grinding, grinding, grinding and doing some more grinding. This mediocre title clearly had a good reason to go Free.… Expand
