Playing Arcane Legends In PCLinuxOS


by Agent Smith (Alessandro Ebersol)


Another good, free to play MORPG, Arcane Legends is a fantasy MMORPG based on browser in 3D by SpaceTime Studios. Unlike traditional browser MMORPGs, Arcane Legends is also available on iOS and Android devices such as tablets and phones, iPad's and Androids are supported. This allows you to play in multiple platforms without the need for a separate account, making it easier for players to play anywhere, whether it be that bus queue, waiting their turn on the bench ...

Early in the game, players will choose one of three classes including Warrior, Rogue, and Mage. As players progress, each class will unlock various skills that can be specialized in order to customize a preferred style of play by the players. There is no automatic attacks in Arcane Legends. The game instead uses a system more action RPG oriented, in which players must touch or hold the attack button in order to perform a series of quick attacks or a single, more powerful charged attack.



The 3 Classes of the game

Players will also be able to choose a pet at the start of the game. It follows the player around, and comes with its own attributes and skills. Players do not need to collect the drops from the monsters of the game, as his pet will take care of it. The game features over 40 unique animals allowed for players to collect during their journey.


Features of the game

Graphics

The graphics are very good, made in a cartoon style. They are the like Playstation 1 graphics, but well-made and colorful. With good graphics, though simple (the polygon count is not high), it guarantees a good performance on all platforms, tablets, mobile phones and even older computers/laptops.



Opening Screen

Gameplay

There are tons of thugs to destroy through the various game landscapes, with a brief list of upgradeable skills to complement the attacks, quests, leaderboards, a hodgepodge of pets to collect and put to work by the player. There is also an endless variety of drops to collect in various rarity levels. The basics of hack'n'slash games is often lost in translation from PC to phone, but Arcane Legends captures the essence of the genre admirably, having a consistent gameplay on all clients (PC, Mobile and Tablet).

It is not a difficult game to learn, and it has simple, straightforward gameplay. But, it's a lot of fun. It's easy to enter the mainland of Arlor and pick up the tricks of the game, improving your character from there.
