One of the better free MMORPG's, which doesn't mean much.

User Rating: 6.7 | RF Online PC
If you've played an MMORPG you know how addicting they can be. RF Online is a sci-fi MMORPG released by Codemasters 2 years ago. Recently, due to poor sales, they made the game free-to-play. It is set in a world where 3 different races duke it out to see who is the best. You have Accretia, Cora and Bellatio. Bellatio are small human-like guys and girls who love technology. They have access to robots at high level that neither of the other 2 can use. Cora are a magical race, and will remind you of elves from other RPG's. Accretia are the typical bad guy, sporting a huge body and a mean ego. The twist is that they are robots. They have no flesh so they are a great jump from the typical RPG

The graphics are quite possibly the best out of ever free MMORPG on the market. The colors are great and the character models as well as the armor look very good. The only problem is that the environment doesn't look that great. The textures are quite bland and there is very little to look at. The UI also looks quite nice at first, but unfortunately you soon find out how sloppy it is. As far as screenshots go, this game looks better than the average MMORPG and is quite possibly it's strongest point.

The audio, while good at first, becomes repetitive quickly. The same few songs are played on loop and there are very few sound effects. The problem is, since this is a grinding game, you'll be resorting to the audio to keep you going. Unfortunately, the audio will bore you and only push you towards possibly quitting the game. The few songs that the game does sport are quite good, however, and this should be noted.

The gameplay is definitely the weakest point of this game. Moving around has never felt so clumsy and combat feels unpolished. All you really do is click on an enemy and then press spacebar, which will grow old fast. If you've played Lineage 2 or some other free MMORPG's, this game feels about the same. The good thing is that at higher levels, the PvP experience can be quite fun. The bad side to this is that there are only a few abilities per class, so you will be forced to press the same few buttons for the remainder of the game

Overall, the game is one of the better free MMORPG's on the market. The graphics are lovable and the audio could have used some more quantity. It does have an endgame so getting to max level can be rewarding, but judging from how long the grind is, it most likely isn't worth it.
