Gamers looking for a cheap MMORPG to play these days are spoilt for choice. The market is literally saturated with them, each boasting “new and exciting” stories, quests and features, all in an effort to lure new players in. Unfortunately, most of these claims are overhyped and/or under delivered, ultimately leaving players disappointed.
Occasionally though, there comes along an MMORPG that tries something different. One such game is Atlantica Online(Atlantica Gold), a free online role-playing game developed by NDoors Games. What sets it apart from the rest is a new spin on combat, in which the traditional point and click system is replaced with a more strategic, turn based system.
The game begins with a brief story synopsis, where the player is introduced to the alternative version of Earth present in the game, in which the Atlantians rose to conquer the world, before their own power backfired on them and sunk their home. The player learns that they are one of the descendents of the Atlantians, and are tasked with finding and restoring their ancestral home. While the story is not exactly awe inspiring, it does the job well enough of setting the mood and leading you into the character customisation.
