  • Summary: A mysterious power has issued an ominous portent and the call has gone out for stalwart heroes from all reaches of the Land to battle against an army of pure evil. Leading this army is The Apocalypse Dragon, a seemingly unstoppable five headed juggernaut of destruction that has been reborn and set loose on an unprepared populace. Taking the role of one of 5 characters, the player must band together with other legendary heroes to face this Dragon and defeat the forces of Chaos in the "Mage Knight" universe. Team dynamics are vital in Mage Knight Apocalypse, and players need to select their party carefully, combining melee, ranged and magical strikes in conjunction with overwhelming group combo attacks to triumph in battle. Players can quest alone or with friends in five-player cooperative and competitive play modes, working together or going head-to-head in the ultimate clash for battlefield supremacy. Players can choose from five distinct character classes and customize them with hundreds of weapons, armor and items, equipping the right gear for each intense encounter. Unlike other action RPGs, in Mage Knight Apocalypse, players have no need to worry about ability points or discreet levels to gain. Instead, character development depends on what type of playing style the player enjoys. Swinging a heavy sword makes you stronger, casting spells makes your magic more powerful, and shooting bows improve dexterity. The skills players use and the way they use them determines how the character develops. [Namco]… Expand

    A fine game with no glaring flaws, but also offers nothing to really rev up a gamer's engines either.

    At its core Mage Night Apocalypse is, although not brilliant, at least passable. However, the fact that the game is hampered by numerous interface problems means it can only be recommended to those obssessed with the Mage Knight universe, or those that want to play every RPG there is.

    Mage Knight Apocalypse is a sloppy attempt to adapt the collectible tabletop miniatures game to a dungeon-crawler format.

    It's been a long time since we've had such an involved multiplayer RPG. Even with a few shortcomings, which will probably be fixed with mods and patches, this game really shines when you get caught up in questing with your friends. Some of the character design is similar to WoW, but as a WoW veteran I can say that's where the similarities end. Give it a try, and I'm sure you'll like it. I'm enjoying it so far.… Expand

    I cannot recommend this game! Yes, the game looks about like what you see on the box, screenshots etc. However, EVERYTHING else appears to have been purposefully made bad. First of all don't think that you can actually play the game while viewing anything up close like you see on the box. Even this is forgiveable though. Everything else about this game looks cheap and blocky. The animation quality is equivalent to "very poor" in other games. This means that when you swing your sword (for example), in one frame you start the swing, and in the next, the swing in ends, and the enemy is on the ground. This is abhorable and takes all the fun out of the game. It is absolutely terrible, and it seems like they made purposefully unenjoyable.… Expand

    Terrible controls, audio so annoying you will turn your speakers off, lots of bugs, poor graphics, etc. Stay away.
