With the newly announced MMORPG The Blocky Ages, you should be transported back to the 90s. Back then, online role-playing games were really tough, and the death of your hero was harsh.
Who is The Blocky Ages aimed at? The MMORPG targets a hardcore audience who find current online role-playing games too easy. Those who take high risks in the game should also receive a corresponding reward. This risk-versus-reward principle is at the heart of the gaming experience.
In The Blocky Ages, nothing is given to you. You have to earn everything hard and then defend it.
A death damages the entire group
What is special about the game? If your hero dies in PvP or PvE fights, you initially lose a certain amount of EP that you cannot get back. Additionally, your hero drops randomly selected items that other players can pick up and take.
Especially harsh is that group members also lose experience points if one from the party dies. There is thus a collective penalty.
Why is it called The Blocky Ages? The graphics are made of blocks and somewhat resemble Minecraft or the game Hytale, which is developed by a studio that now belongs to Riot Games. The overall look is very colorful and thus creates a rather cheerful atmosphere despite the hardcore gaming principle.
When will The Blocky Ages be released? Currently, the MMORPG has no release date yet. However, it is supposed to be released as an Early Access title via Steam. Whether it will be this year, the developers cannot say at the moment.
High risk for better loot
How does the MMORPG work? The Blocky Ages immerses you in the fantasy world of Irumesa. There awaits you a non-linear main quest that guides you through the story.
Additionally, you can look forward to these elements:
- PvE – You complete quests, fight against monsters, and take on boss opponents. In addition, you explore many dungeons where valuable loot awaits you.
- PvP – The player-versus-player fights mainly take place in special arenas. Furthermore, it is possible to attack players in the game world. However, player killing is harshly punished, as there is a bounty placed on PKs.
- Housing and Crafting – You may build a house or a fortress in the game world, using it as a retreat or clan headquarters. In addition to items, it is even possible to craft your own spells.
- Risk versus Reward – The greater the challenge you face and the more dangers you expose yourself to, the higher the likelihood of receiving particularly valuable loot.
The Blocky Ages aims to follow the gameplay and challenges of MMORPGs from the 90s such as Ultima Online, Tibia, and Runescape.
