Soul of Guardian
Soul of Guardian Soul of Guardian is an enjoyable MMORPG game available to play online. The game is relatively new as it was only released in March 2012. Much like Heroic Odyssey another MMORPG game, this game has modern day graphics and some pretty high production values that make it a step above most other free to play browser based video games out there.
Much like every other MMORPG game out there, you can choose to be a male or female character to play as in the game. But unlike in other MMORPG games, you cannot alter the actual appearance of your character. This can be seen as a slight disappointment since its always enjoyable spending several minutes customizing the look of your own character.
Before you start playing Soul of Guardian, there.s the choice to play as four different class types. First up there.s the Blade Warrior class which is high on accuracy. The next class is the Hammer Judge which has high attack and defence. Another class is the Spear Guard which has high dodging ability and resilience. Lastly, you have the Dagger Assassin which is a balance of all of the aforementioned class types.
Soul of Guardian play very similarly to another browser based MMORPG game called Heroic Odyssey. Both games were released in 2012 so if you.re a fan of the genre, you.ll have two great games to play. Graphically, the game isn.t the as good looking as Heroic Odyssey but it.s not bad either. The bright and colorful visuals truly shine here and RPG fans will love the overall design of the game.
Speaking of design, the illustrations and character models in the game are eye catching as well. There are many creatures you will encounter in Soul of Guardian that vary in size and design. One of my favorite characters in the game is your accompanying pet called the Wee Panda. If you.ve ever watched the famous Kung-Fu Panda movies before, your companion looks exactly like Po from the films. The panda also helps you out during fights too. There.s also a cool blue wolf you can ride on to get to the many places in the game.
One of my favorite features in the whole game is the soundtrack. The music sounds like something you might hear from an epic Hollywood fantasy-based film more than from a free to play video game. The music changes each time you enter a new area and it.s a pleasure to listen to. The music definitely draws inspiration from the LOTR trilogy or even Final Fantasy XII for that matter.
Much like Heroic Odyssey, Soul of Guardian has the neat feature of adding the auto-navigation system. This is helpful for games like this where you need to traverse to many places talking to many different characters littered throughout the game.s universe. There have been countless other games I.ve played where I got lost even while checking the map for directions. Thankfully, you don.t have to worry about any of that here in Soul of Guardian. There are also items you can collect called flying shoes which enable you to teleport to certain places too. Flying shoes are limited though so you cannot use them all the time.
The weakest aspect of Soul of Guardian has to be the combat system. It.s a simple point and click affair and the AI aren.t all that smart either. This is the same type of problem that plagued Heroic Odyssey as well. The game gets better though as you progress as the enemies get tougher and you.re forced to partner up with other players to take your enemies down. It.s also great to know you can learn new skills in this game and that the combat is not fully simulated. Still, it.s an area that I feel needs improving on.
Soul of Guardian is an excellent MMORPG game that fans of Heroic Odyssey will love to play. The graphics and gameplay are great and it.s a game that never gets boring. Some of the quests in the beginning might get repetitive, although you level up pretty quickly in this game which makes the game fast paced and exciting. The combat is a little weak, but it.s something you will get used to over time. The best part of Soul of Guardian in my opinion is the soundtrack though. All in all, if you have some free time on your hands, why not use that time to play Soul of Guardian.
