MMORPG.com's Carolyn Koh took a recent look at the browser-based MMORPG AdventureQuest Worlds, a game which she describes as a "fun little casual MMO".

AdventureQuest Worlds by Artix Entertainment is the MMO version of their grindy but addictive little flash based on-line game Adventure Quest. Using the same technology, AdventureQuest Worlds has actually attracted players who were not previously players of either AdventureQuest, or the company's previous foray into the MMO world, Dragon Fable.

Simple, simplistic, grindy, yet engaging. It is definitely a casual MMO and one advantage of the game as it was in Adventure Quest, is that it is completely flash-based. Unlike some other browser-based games that still require a small client to be installed; you can play AdventureQuest Worlds on any PC with an internet connection and a web browser with a Java client. Yes, you can play it on an office computer during break and get a few hundred experience points.

The game FAQ tells you how many points are needed for each rank and level. As is usual in many MMOs, a player character can defeat a monster several levels higher and they very quickly learn what they can take on as Mob hit points are displayed when targeted - although you can't tell how hard they will hit.

 I find this review very accurate, if you take the game for what it is, which is a casual MMO made for kids and teenagers, or even older people who just want a break and dont feel like downloading something.

A no BS perspective

The draw of this game for me was that it's entirely web based (no download/instalation), and it doesn't limit the amount of time you can play with regen "energy".

However, it can get a bit boring after you are through with the first chapter of the story, because it would seem like there's very little for you to do without upgrading to member; aka member only area or member only items.

I am very glad to learn that whatever items you purchase while you are a member you get to keep forever... hmm, maybe I'll finally get that pet that's been just sitting in my bag slot ;-)

The circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It's what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.

I think the fact that it is a casual MMO is the draw to the game.even though my draw to the game was the chance to get a founder title one one of the artix entertainment games, im upgraded in 4 of the 5 games including a mem in AQW)

I beleive Artix's Games have hit a homerun with this one. The quirky jokes, to the hilarious weapons and hairstyles. In a overall review i believe this is the one, I'm not much to putting much effort but I give This Review a [5 out of 5] and the game a overall score little higher than most but a [4 out of 5 (8/10)]

Congratulations Artix

General... That's right come back to that one.

AE are money hungry bastards. This is supposed to be a free browser based game, but all their releases are 90% member only. They also selling a pet which you have to buy for 70 dollars to get a certain ingame pet. If paying members is not enough, they also have to buy certain items and bagspace for AC which cost even more money. The review is wrong in the aspect that once your membership runs out, you cant equip the member items anymore unless you upgrade again.
