Lost Ark
Lost Ark is a hack ‘n’ slash that makes many people salivate. Not only do the screenshots and previous videos look fantastic, but what the game promises also sounds really great. A Diablo in a huge online world where you fight alongside friends against legions of monsters while collecting better gear to improve your hero is just the beginning. The developers also focus on an engaging story in which you even have to make moral decisions!
You can create your hero from 18 classes and improve him with many skills. Combos play an important role in battles, adding some tactics to the otherwise fast-paced and action-packed fights. In the game world, you will repeatedly confront world bosses that you can defeat together with your group by discovering their weaknesses. During your adventures, you will uncover many secrets, including hidden dungeons filled with loot. You will also participate in massive siege battles!
When the action RPG Lost Ark will be released here is still uncertain. A first beta took place in Korea in August 2016, but there is currently no talk of a release in the West. However, anyone who would like to play Diablo as an MMO should keep an eye on this title.
On the following page, we present to you Vikings: Wolves of Midgard.
