Theres nothing radical aboutThrone and Libertysworld - its a fairly standard high-fantasy fare.
Adding to the coolness factor is the game’s excellent mount system.
The story, for the most part, is standardRPGfare.
Riding the giant flying whale Gigantrite above the skies of Solisium, taking in the sweeping vistas.
World up
The world of Solisium is, however, chock-full of stuff to do.
For example, world quests are sometimes cooperative, sometimes competitive, and sometimes complete and utter open warfare.
I, for one, particularly loved the open-world dungeons that are scattered across the world.
In the daytime, these dungeons can operate like traditional questing hubs.
Its a superb concept and one thats not commonly found among other modern MMOs.
In this game, PvP is everywhere if youre willing to look for it.
This is a game designed from the ground up with PvP - and particularly group PvP - in mind.
If youre a fan of the true wild-west element of old-school MMORPGs youll be at home here.
Its a kill-or-be-killed world thats often enjoyable but potentially frustrating.
Solisium is a harsh world, and to survive, youre going to have to join a guild.
Unlike more casual-friendly titles on the market, this game emphasizes guilds above nearly all else.
Doing so, for example, unlocks a new vendor, currency, and various exclusive quests.
Yes - currency that can be usedinthe auction house to buy high-end gear.
The question is, will it appeal to a wider audience than a select few hard-core individuals?
Accessibility
Im pleased to note thatThrone and Libertyfeatures an extensive suite of accessibility features.
These include multiple colorblind modes, options for photosensitivity, and multiple text and UI scaling options.
All these options are easy to find in the ‘Accessibility’ menu within the games tweaks menu.
Should I play Throne and Liberty?
The world feels alive with hundreds of players contesting objectives.
Don’t play it if…
You prefer casual MMOsThrone and Libertythrives on its structured guild content.
