Play Realm of the Mad God

Had a character who lested 3 months. Died because of lag, a Meduza teleported from nowhere and 1 hit killed me. Later I only joined the game to find out they've changed it completly, the expirence was different. It's an okay game, undoubtedly a hard one as well.

With so many moving parts to learn and a seemingly infinite breadth of options to explore, diving into any new MMO is a major investment of time and energy. It's exhausting, really, which is why I appreciate a game like the free-to-play Realm of the Mad God. This fantasy-themed, co-operative bullet hell MMORPG is beautifully simple, yet deep enough to keep you chained to your PC for days on end. It takes only a minute or so to get right into the action, and, once you get a taste for running around with a gaggle of your fellow pixelated-warriors raising hell and slaying beasts across the online realm, it's hard to stop.

Like any of the other thousands of players populating the bustling game world, you've been summoned by Oryx the Mad God to serve as dinner for his hungry minions. Of course, you've got other plans. Venturing out beyond the safety of the hub nexus, your mission is to blast beasties, collect loot, grow more powerful, and then stick it to the evil deity. Spraying magic projectiles around the screen while dodging incoming fire from blocky sumo wrestlers, dragons, goblin wizards, and stranger creatures you encounter takes on a classic, arcade-like quality. The straightforwardness is appealing – move, shoot, collect – and when you weave in exploration, obsessive loot hunting, RPG character growth and the camaraderie of smiting evil alongside other adventurers, sessions grow intensely hypnotic. Even if you never survive long enough get reach Oryx's doom lair, there's a ton of fun to be found in collaborating with other players in battle and unlocking cool new classes to play.

Each of Realm of the Mad God's 13 unique character classes are accessed by reaching certain level benchmarks in other classes. Above all, this is what kept me glued to my keyboard playing for hours at a time. You start as a mewling wizard who can fire blasts of magic in any direction, but as you play longer and level-up, you eventually open-up more interesting classes like the necromancer, huntress, mystic, and assassin. Every class has its own set of weapons and items, magic powers, special abilities, and perks. They all play differently, and I got a thrill every time I unlocked a new one to try out. This adds tremendous replay potential too, since unlocking the coolest characters requires you to spend some serious time with each class.

Perma-death layers-on an intense roguelike element to the already zany large-scale bullet hell RPG slugfest unfolding on any given server, and it seriously ups the challenge and risk factor. Getting careless will get you killed and force you to re-start your current character over from level 1. As frustrating as it can be, death is sometimes a welcome opportunity to try out another class, since you can only have one character at a time without using microtransactions to purchase additional slots. But when you're committed to keeping your favorite character alive, the threat of losing all your hard-earned experience and loot gently nudges you into working together with other players and forming impromptu gang of warriors to tackle the tougher swarms of foes as a group.

Realm of the Mad God's streamlined approach to MMO gaming also changes up player interaction in good ways. Since there's no PvP, everyone in the realm is after the same goals – slay, loot, and level-up. As you come across other players, the desire to tag along and pitch in for tougher fights comes intuitively. You share the experienced gained from defeating foes as long as you hit them once, and there's generally plenty of loot to go around. Typing in chat text makes a speech bubble appear over your hero, and communicating in short bursts is effective for concocting plans outside of the heat of battle. When you do find other comrades you want to stick with, you can highlight nearby players and lock their names to your menu bar, allowing you to teleport to their location instantly if you get separated. It's a simple and easy-to-use system that works well.

The realm itself is surprisingly vast, with a diverse landscape that holds more dangerous and inventive foes the further you venture away from your spawn point. Weaker baddies, like scorpions and pirates, populate the sunny beachside. But push through the thick forests, crumbling ruins, and mountains beyond, and you'll find powerful god-like foes capable of slaying low-level adventurers with a single strike. It's these formidable opponents you have to defeat in order to reach Oryx. Thankfully, when you need a break from battle or a quick getaway, tapping the insert key warps you back to the safety of the nexus where you can trade, use fame points or in-game cash to purchase special items, form a guild, and heal-up.

It may be vastly different from its big-league brethren, but this stylish indie MMO has loads of staying power to match its unique concept. Realm of the Mad God&#Array;s accessible arcade-style bullet hell action blends with RPG nerdiness in some truly potent ways, and the lovely pixilated world holds an abundance of adventure that&#Array;s ripe for the taking. Easy to jump into and damn near impossible to quit, this unusual free-to-play MMO hybrid is worth every second of your spare time.

É do tipo o jogo que você joga e quando morre e ver que perde tudo você tem vontade de quebrar o pc, ééé foi isso que aconteceu com meu antigo pc ;-;

Is it bad i grieved more when my characters died here than when my pets died in real life?

Awesome game, If you can handle dieing a lot. and I mean A LOT but dieing is good in someways as it grants you a currency used to purchase new items, so it kinda depends what you want to do with that.

6 Hours on steam,on browser +400 hours.

so after Kabam was done with their ♥♥♥♥ and finally left, i decided to try this game out again and rewrite my review.

well first of all, the Community has changed. A LOT. when i first played this game, it was full of exploiting trolls who loved seeing people die with their 1000 fame or more characters.
now theyre just ♥♥♥♥ing gone. i dont know what happened, but for once i can finally play without a troll following me with a thousand mobs behind him.
random people may teleport to you when youre low-level and offer you trades, accept them. its free ♥♥♥♥ most of the time xD

Guilds became much more organized, even though theres still people spamming invites in the godlands.
to be completely honest, this is one of the best communities i have ever seen.
if you need help all you gotta do is ask.

next up, FINALLY a Friends tab was added. since people in-game have different nicknames from their Steam accounts, it wasnt too easy to find eachother on Steam if you want to play with someone again. ive met a few great people through RotMG.

the new dev team is trying to make this game as less pay2win as possible, even though you can still buy OP items by donating, you can get sliiiightly weaker items just by playing normally. with the only pay2win thing being Character Slots (you only start with one) and Vault Chests (you only start with one as well, letting you keep only 6 items in the Vault.)
in other words, buying gear with real money is pretty ♥♥♥♥ing useless since you have to unlock Vault Chests and Character Slots.

wait wut? you dont even know this game at all?
okay, let me explain.
its a Perma-Death game. you lose EVERYTHING when you die. except pets, skins, unlocked Classes and gear you store in the Vault.
the Gear in this game is divided by Tiers, you start from lvl 1 by killing weak mobs, getting T1/T2 stuff, then moving on further into the island where theres harded mobs that drop T3/T4 stuff, etc.
theres an Ultimate Tier, which doesnt always mean that its better than the normal tiers (max normal Tier is 12). Ultimate Tier gear has special abilities with it, such as shooting Presents instead of Magic Bolts, or a ring that upgrades 2 different stats instead of 1.
there is a TON of different classes, each player to their own. there are close/medium/long ranged classes. each with their own abilities, my favourite being the Rogue and Sorcerer.

previously id give this game a 4/10, but now i give it an 8.5/10 for the huge improvements.

look, i know the game's graphics and animations look simplistic as ♥♥♥♥, but trust me, thats one of the reasons that make it great.

Better than Call of Duty...
