Throne and Liberty is part generic fantasy and part weird and wonderful. During the prologue you fight walking trees, transform into a panther (and an eagle), and then it's out into the open world to start slaying goblins, wolves, sentient scarecrows, the whole
Throne And Liberty is a modern MMO with a focus on social gameplay. Set in the world of Solisium, you are tasked with finding the Star of Sylaveth in order to defeat the world’s great existential threat, Kazar the Wraith of Conquest. It’s a fairly generic story and Throne And Liberty does nothing here to reinvent the wheel. What it does well though is capture that classic MMO feel
The scale of the world itself is very impressive. It felt like I barely made a dent on the available regions, but the free and instantaneous fast travel helps you get from place to place with ease. Draw distance is excellent and, although the world was mostly empty during this review period, you still get an elevated sense of scale when you’re surrounded by other players going about their business. This is most evident in the packed city centres. You are also technically your own mount, as you’re able to transform into an animal famil
The Longbow is a top-tier ranged weapon which delivers high damage output at a range rivaling melee weapons in terms of DPS. It provides the ability to engage enemies from a distance and has skills that allow healing abilities for you and your all
The Wand and Tome excels as a support tool and is capable of dealing damage through DoTs and curses. Its true strength lies in its ability to heal allies, and conversely debuff enemies. This is the quintessential weapon that you need in Throne and Liberty to adopt a supportive or controller role in the g
The game features an impressive attention to detail , even in its weapons. You can equip two weapons at once, with one as your primary weapon and the other as your secondary, providing passive bonuses or additional abilities. Each weapon comes with one defensive ability and eight slots of passives to choose from. Here are the best weapons you can use to conquer your journey in the g
At the end of the day, Throne And Liberty Raids and Liberty ** is a pretty new game** . It has its flaws, sure, but there's still plenty of time for it to resolve its issues with progression with more mechanically complex classes, to add new morphs that actually make a difference in gameplay, or to renew its focus on the thrilling
Switching character classes, too, is as easy as switching your equipped weapons and associated skills; you can save up to three different equipment and skill sets at a time. Each time you level up, you increase one of your main stats, but every single one of them is helpful for every single class. Even greatsword wielders need mana, and even spellcasters need strength. For someone like me, who tends to be indecisive when it comes to RPG builds, this kind of flexibility amounts to a quality-of-life feature . It’s almost definitely inspired by Final Fantasy FFXIV ’s simple class-changing system , and I’m incredibly grateful for t
"There's definitely a quality bar that we strive for in the titles that we're bringing to market," Lafuente tells me. "And it just so happens that we have MMOs right now, but our portfolio intends to be broad over the next couple of years. Maybe you've heard the news about the Tomb Raider game. It's not just MMOs that we're bringing to market. It does happen to be the focus of the moment, but we have broad ambitio
"The dual weapon system is what determines what your abilities are," Lafuente tells me. "I think you can have more unique opportunities to build these crazy classes, potentially, where someone is carrying both a sword and a staff. And that gives them access to magic abilities, and the 'I'm going to swing my big sword at you' abilities, so you see some pretty unique types of builds that are created by players. And so what I think is most important is that players can experience more than one play sty
Once you have upgraded your item to a certain level, you can no longer upgrade it further. For example, if you have an Uncommon (Green) headpiece, you can only level it up to level six . Level six is then the maximum upgrade level for that i
The Dagger specializes in bleed status effects by delivering rapid consecutive strikes in close-quarters combat while allowing you to close the gap between you and the enemy. If you wield this weapon, you can execute quick, lethal attacks on enemies before they get a chance to re
In a similar vein, many of Throne and Liberty ** ’s characters are memorably designed** , including, but not limited to, those made with the game’s robust character creator. Beyond that, there’s a lengthy, but uncomplicated menu of craftable weapons, armor, and accessories to ensure your character is always looking their b
In our preview, there were eight of us in a dungeon taking on a handful of enemies at once, culminating in a final battle against one giant boss. But this is not the typical Throne & Liberty experience, and even the example tossed out of 200 versus 200 is, I'm told, more on the "low side". So what is the standard Throne & Liberty experie
