19. Lost Ark

Developed by Korean game company Smilegate, it is not yet sure if the game will be free-to-play or not. Some contents of the game will include mini-games, raids, a dungeon system, PvP arenas and more. There isn’t a lot of info about the game so far. Only some things were revealed in the long gameplay video.

Slash away with powerful attacks.

The dungeons are one of the main reasons players seem to be excited about playing Lost Ark for. In the trailer you can see the boss chasing down your party through the dungeon. You start fighting the beast once you reach the top of the map. Apart from going out slashing things in dungeons, there’s a bunch of other things to do like hunting field bosses, hanging out in town, exploring new regions, and much more. Lots of hidden areas await to be revealed. And not just hidden areas, even hidden quests.

Travel anywhere in the world of Lost Ark using your own ship. Set sail on the high seas and discover new places in your adventurous explorations. You can also see other player’s ships sailing the seas. This makes the game truly feel like an MMORPG. Go treasure-hunting to find that hidden loot by using the ships crane. Go on long adventures and uncover lots of different and interesting areas.

It’s been 3 years of development so far. Hopefully all that time spent will truly show what a great game the developers have crafted.

20. Tree of Savior

Tree of Savior is a free-to-play MMORPG made by IMC Games and published by Nexon. Based on the traditional Lithuanian culture and mythology, you set out on an adventure to find the goddesses in the midst of a world of chaos. The graphics of the game truly immerse you into feeling like you just entered a fairy tale.

Begin by choosing one of four classes: Swordsman, Cleric, Wizard or Archer.  As you progress through the game and level up, you will have new classes available to choose. Go through dungeons to upgrade your gear, but you better go in as a team. There are over 200 unique bosses, and you may encounter one of them that will require working as a team to beat. So grab some friends or find someone that also needs help, you don’t want to go solo on these bosses.

Explore various areas with your friends.

There are also guilds you can join where you can participate in giant-scale battles or you can just test your skills out in the arena alone.

The stunning world has tons of detailed characters and scenery that you’ll want to come back to time and time again. But, you probably won’t enjoy this game if you’re rather impatient. This game puts you back in the times when MMORPGs had much more freedom and simplicity, highlighted by the risk of failure. Progressing and customizing your hero is an activity of affection, but the levels and new maps are fast to play through so the game balances things out itself.

Old-school gamers are likely to enjoy Tree of Savior, and I highly recommend it to them and any gamer that wants to get that feel.

With a deep skill-based melee combat system, the game gives you many ways to decapitate your foes. This makes for some bloody but sometimes even funny moments of heads flying. Overall, It’s a great and violent fun game for anyone looking to go back to the medieval times.
