Felspire is a western medieval fantasy themed MMORPG. The game provides a wide variety of settings ranging from bustling cities, frozen plateaus to mysterious forests and chilling tombs. Choose between three classes and tweak your character’s attribute points to find the perfect balance. Prefer to strike down your foes from a distance? Then the archer would be a suitable choice. Like staring into your enemy’s soul before the violence begins? Pick a warrior and deal with your adversaries face-to-face. Perhaps you would prefer seeing your enemies suffer the fate of your deadly magic spells. If so, a mage would be the perfect class for you.

 

Beyond the brutal PvP struggles lie a much larger war – the war for control of Eremos! Recruit your soldiers and lead your Guild on its conquest to take the spire for once and for all. The fate of mankind awaits – which side are you going to take?

Do you think the Online Game Wartune is enjoyable?

Thirty minutes into Wartune and my thoughts are not on my character or the world around me. Instead, they’re centered on this: how on earth has a game like this existed for so long without drawing the ire of Blizzard Entertainment? And how can the facebook fans have reached 419,946?

Bullish humanoids in vaguely Native American-garb called “Taurens” stomp around menacing the countryside, and globules signifying your health and mana appear lifted pixel by pixel from the Diablo series. It’s a good thing that Wartune is kind of fun, or it’d be easy to dismiss it as a cheap knockoff of better titles.

Wartune does a decent job of capturing the thrills of Diablo or Torchlight style exploration, and the frequent battles are enjoyable to watch is played casually. As early as the first dungeon, messages pop up warning you that you’re running out of troops, although there’s little obvious correlation between the hundreds of rangers you allegedly have at your command and the two scantily clad archers lobbing arrows beside you on the screen. It’s also brutal on the pocketbook if you want to compete in what passes for the endgame, leading to countless absurd stories of the top players on the game’s many servers dishing out hundreds of dollars just to stay on top.

And so it’s worth bringing up that previous point again: if you’re going to slap that kind of money around on a game, do it on the games – the ultimately cheaper and better games – that Wartune draws so heavily on. In other words,  if you’re just looking for a fantasy action RPG to fill your lunch breaks, Wartune does the trick just fine – even admirably.

Don't believe?  You can just try it for confirmation: http://bit.ly/1o8Q2fd
