Swords of Legends Online – Release
Genre: MMORPG | Developer: Wangyuan Shengtang | Platform: PC | Release Date: July 9, 2021 | Model: Buy-to-Play
What kind of game is this? Swords of Legends Online (short: SOLO) is a theme-park MMORPG from China. It impresses mainly with its story, which is told through many quests and cutscenes. Additionally, it looks graphically very stylish.
The MMORPG focuses on an action-packed combat system with evasive rolls and offers various content for PvE and PvP fans, including dungeons, arenas, and housing.
SOLO was released in 2019 in China and has been continuously expanded since then. In 2021, the German publisher Gameforge will bring the game to the West. Here, it will be Buy-to-Play and will feature a shop, which, however, is supposed to be free of Pay-to-Win and Pay-to-Progress.
These are the highlights of Swords of Legends
Swords of Legends offers everything that makes an MMORPG heart beat faster:
- 6 different playable classes – Harbinger, Summoner, Bard, Sword Magician, Berserker and Spear Master – each with 2 specializations and without gender lock
- A game world with different large zones where you can meet other players and monsters from Chinese mythology
- Fully voiced cutscenes in English
- Housing, where players can retreat
- Various mounts
- Dungeons and raids with up to 20 players
- Various PvP modes where you can fight against other players, including a heavily regulated open-world PvP
Why you should play SOLO in July
On July 9, the release of Swords of Legends took place. So if you feel like playing an MMORPG right from the start, you can start this weekend.
SOLO is particularly aimed at fans of theme-park MMORPGs, as everything is very linear. You experience the same quests and the same story with each class, and you must experience this because it really gets going at Max Level in the game. Then dungeons with multiple difficulty levels, housing, PvP, and more await you.
The highlight is the active combat system, which represents a good mix of action and tab-targeting. It is most comparable to Guild Wars 2.
