Gamesport has written a review of Asheron's Call 2. Their rating is a solid 8.3/10. Here's their conclusion:
It's easy to look at Asheron's Call 2 and see the potential for a truly intriguing game once Turbine begins rolling out its regular monthly content updates with new quests, items, and monsters. Like other online RPGs before it, Asheron's Call 2 focuses mainly on combat, but as a result of the game's streamlined crafting system and total lack of non-player characters, this focus is much more obvious, and since the fights aren't terribly challenging, many players prefer to play solo. If you're that kind of player--the kind who's more interested in hacking and slashing, and less interested in constantly chatting with other players--you may enjoy Asheron's Call 2 a great deal. Also, considering the game's streamlined interface, low learning curve, and unusual setting, if you're new to online RPGs--especially if you're a fan of console RPGs, with comparably bizarre characters and monsters--you'd do well to give Asheron's Call 2 a try. If all these things and the idea of a small, tightly knit player community appeal to you, Asheron's Call 2 may be just the game for you. But if you're looking for a bustling online world with plenty of other people and many different things to do, you may not find what you're looking for in Asheron's Call 2 for some time. |
