Gates of Andaron

Free games com online game review: Gates of Andaron

Gates of Andaron is a wonderfully played out free fantasy MMORPG created by Zemi, Int. and published by Gameforge. There are many great game points that this free game fulfills. Where some of these free games would let you down in areas of graphics, out of sync controls that feel “clanky,” and they don’t force you to bust out a credit card to truly enjoy this fabulous free MMORPG.

Gates of Andaron has a simple but fun race’s to look at: human, feline, and fairy. Like any true MMORPG, this free games race class has their strong and weak points (depending on which class you choose to pair off your race character too). The classes are warrior, archer, priest, night walker, magician and evocator. Most RPG players will recognize these fantasy type MMORPG classes (I have played each class, and have found that free games com enjoys the evocator feline combination the best).

As you dive into the world of Gates of Andaron, you will, after choosing your race and character type, begin your tutorial with your basic controls setup that is pretty much found in most MMORPGs. You have your hotbar that is set up with both the numbers and the F-keys as well, for easy access to most of your needs. One thing that I have found that I did not like is that not all of the boxes are moveable. Being an evocator, your attacks messaging area is too close to your pets actions command bar. It’s not a huge problem, but something that could have been avoided.

The leveling is fairly easy and quick during the first ten levels of Gate of Andaron. It also seems quite balanced with plenty of different quests to level up on this free MMORPG. Of course you could grind your way up trying to kill 1000 wolves to level up, but there are other ways that are more entertaining and helps you to accomplish this goal.

Continuing our online game review, let’s talk about graphics and it’s “look wise” of Gates of Andaron. When I first started playing I started thinking in comparison to its first counterpart “Wow”. Understandably a lot of people say this is such a similar game to its seemingly counterpart MMO gamer…and I wouldn’t argue against it. However, the graphics still look great, even when compared to it. The structures and backgrounds are smooth and texturish (yes, I know that’s not a word…so what?) It is not the best of graphics, but it does very well, in my opinion compared to the majority of free MMORPG s out there. I mean, the details on the armor and weapon sets are still cool to look at. So there really isn’t much to complain about considering the content in which this game is derived.

Just like any other MMORPG, Gates of Andaron is about leveling up with a team. You can go solo in the lower levels, but the higher you get the more you want to group up with other team members. I suppose you could grind your way up, but in our opinion at free games com now; we think you’d be missing the point of the game.

Just for quick mention before I wrap this up, one thing that GoA is missing is an in game auction house. Though I assume this would be harder to input on a free MMORPG, it would be a great asset to a game that has many likeable factors already implemented in it. Gates of Andaron currently has an afk store system that only works well if you’re in an area that has high traffic of gamers. There is not too much as I can see right now in the PvP realm, though there is dueling. However, I do see a war system that I have yet to try out. I assume it’s similar to Warhammer online. I will have to see.

Over all I give this game a 7.5/10. Hopefully in time Gates of Andaron will grow even more, expanding on a good build to be one of the top free MMORPG s. Thank you for reading this online game review.
