Not bad, now that it is free mmorpg.
Archlord does have a lot of good, but it does have its bad. The game play in Archlord is pretty simple, and that was part of the reason why Game Spot gave it a bad score. But this game is good for new comers. A bad thing about the controls is when you character turns direction, it moves really clunky. I mean in like Guild Wars for example your character actually looks like it is turning, but in Archlord, your character almost shifts. It is hard to explain so you will just have to play the game to see.
There are 3 character classes. Human. orcs, and moon elves. All three classes have it strengths and weaknesses.
So the main objective of Archlord is to become the Archlord. You basically become the ruler of the realm. Archlords can change though. If another person beats the Archlord, then he becomes the Archlord.
The graphics in Archlord do not look that bad. In fact they look pretty good, except for a few areas.
The sound is not that bad either. The music is pretty good.
If you want a good free mmorpg to play, then you should go download Archlord, and give it a try.
