Project: Gorgon
Release: 03/13/2018 | Platform: PC | Setting: Fantasy, Oldschool, Indie | Developer, Publisher: Elder Game, LLC | Payment Model: Buy2Play
What kind of game is this? Project: Gorgon is a real hidden gem among the MMORPGs on Steam. 85% of the reviews were positive recently.
It is a fantasy MMORPG from the developers Elder Game and LLC. The setting is reminiscent of the style of old classics like Everquest or Asheron’s Call.
At the same time, it focuses more on PvE and offers an open world that you can explore freely. Much of the MMORPG you have to figure out yourself – there are no precise paths or quests to guide you through the gameplay.
Pre-made classes, like in most other MMORPGs, do not exist in Project: Gorgon.
How does it work without classes? Over time, you expand your character and level diverse skills such as necromancy and lycanthropy (werewolf disease). Even in case a boss turns you into a cow, you can level skills to defeat him nonetheless.
The focus is not on the equipment but entirely on the skills. As a player, you try out many of them and must find out which combos work best.
Who is it suitable for? Project: Gorgon is worthwhile for you if you …
- want to figure everything out by yourself
- enjoy interacting with other players
- like reading long story texts if you find out where to go next
- enjoy puzzles within the story
- are not averse to a graphics style reminiscent of the old school
