I used to be delighted to study that not solely is Realm Of The Mad God nonetheless a factor, nevertheless it’s nonetheless stuffed with gamers and it’s as moreish as ever.
The good hybrid of action-RPG and bullet hell shooter is now being remade in Unity, to flee the curse of Flash and guarantee future generations will know its horrible brilliance. You can play it at no cost proper now.
Realm Of The Mad God was first launched over a decade in the past, and has aged extremely nicely, save for one facet: it runs on Flash, which is formally due for the chop by the tip of this 12 months. The dying of Flash dangers one other spherical of previous games being culled from our fickle tradition, though projects like Flashpoint are helping to preserve as many as possible. RotMG has sidestepped that course of, as Exalt converts the game to a standalone Unity model as an alternative.
It performs a lot the identical means, though it’s at the moment nonetheless in open improvement whereas issues are tidied up. The open beta launched last Thursday, however on account of a bug I wasn’t capable of play it till in the present day. I’m joyful to report that it stays wonderful. In reality, it was one of the best games of 2011, and it utterly consumed Alec Meer (RPS in peace) for some time.
“It’s Diablo as a twin-stick shooter, able to creep towards bullet-hell while being absolutely, resolutely shackled to loot’n’xp hunger. I could probably play it forever. I really do not need this right now” he mentioned in his Realm Of The Mad God review.
It’s each bit as speedy and rewarding now. It’s good for folks like me, who wish to play MMOs solo but additionally wordlessly teaming up with randoms for a short time earlier than parting methods. It’s additionally surprisingly cute and optimistic for such a ravenous time-glutton. It could be precisely what a few of us want proper now.
You can obtain and play the Realm Of The Mad God Exalt open beta from its personal website, at no cost.
