It would’ve been good if the game showed you how to interact with other players as well, but it’s not rocket science, so you’ll get the hang of it rather quickly.īecause O&C is a mobile game, you can’t expect the complexity of MMORPGs you would play on a computer. Interaction with NPCs or enemies is explained in a tutorial as you play. Your thumb on the left controls a floating virtual d-pad, whereas your right thumb is used to perform different actions: you can move the camera around, activate your skills, and jump. Nevertheless, it gives you the opportunity and ability to kick some serious butt! ![]() Unfortunately, there’s only Arena PvP, so no open-world battles or at least battlegrounds. Being an MMORPG, a couple of you guys will certainly be excited to hear that the game even offers PvP. What am I supposed to say? It’s all about completing quests, grinding, and overall improving your character’s stats and equipment-the two major things making WoW – and now Order & Chaos – as addictive as they are. Sound effects are very well done, too, with a couple of voice interactions whenever you tap an NPC, weapon, and ambient sounds. It’s actually that great that I don’t turn it off like I used to do in most other games. And yes, even that one is obviously inspired by WoW. Swiping quickly over these buttons made them rotate and revealed another 3 buttons for you to use. Be it potions, spells/attacks, or even special abilities like crafting weapons or armor. Unlike WoW, there aren’t endless buttons or icons, but 3 simple buttons on the bottom right of the screen, giving you quick access to whatever you decide to place there. The top right shows a tiny but still helpful map, and along the bottom, you find access to chat and your selected skills. In the fight, a portrait of your enemy pops up right next to yours, providing the same information besides experience, that is. On the top left, you see your character’s portrait with his health points and mana (or other energies depending on the class you play) and experience points beneath it. With this in mind, it’s close to a little miracle that the game runs very smoothly with no noticeable lag at all. The graphics are presented in comic style and look really impressive, considering that it’s an open world with heaps of NPCs, enemies, animals, and other players moving around. That’s a good thing, though, as it made me kind of feel at home. Cities, forests, animals, and whatnot, pretty much everything, show where O&C’s developers and designers took their inspiration. Humans, Elves, Orcs, and Undead look very much like they do in their role models. So even before I entered the game itself. ![]() In all honesty, I believe copying what made WoW the famous game it has become is certainly better than trying to come up with its own mechanics and failing terribly, which is something most MMORPGs had to face sooner or later.Īs a former long-time WoW player, I already recognized the familiarity upon creating a character. But the game sets such high standards in mobile gaming that it would just feel unfair to consider it that way. I could call it a blatant rip-off, which would be definitely true. ![]() Order & Chaos is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) very heavily inspired by the aforementioned bestseller by Blizzard. “Wait, did he reference WoW here? He’s talking about a mobile game, right?” Yes indeed. If you have ever fallen for World of Warcraft as I did a couple of years ago, you will know what I’m talking about. These two points pretty much summed up all negative things one could say about Order & Chaos, besides the fact that it is highly addictive. I’ve been playing the game plugged in, and the battery still depleted faster than the charger was able to compensate. The battery will deplete so fast that your phone will shut down long before it reaches any critical state. There’s no need to worry about your device taking much damage, though. This game will heat your device so much so that you could easily make fried eggs on it. Order & Chaos proves that gloves can come in handy not only when it’s blistering cold outside. If you’re using a Nokia Lumia, you may be thankful to be able to use it even with gloves on.
