The first thing you are bound to notice about ARGO Online is its fresh art style combining fantasy with steam-punk and Sci-Fi elements. At first, the game looks confused, not being able to decide if the thing to go for is the cute colored cartoonish approach, the rough dusty post-apocalyptic setting or the Sci-Fi high-tech props. So it goes for a mix of them.

In a world reshaped by war, two factions emerge to take control of what’s left of the Earth: the Noblians and the Floresslahs. These are the factions the players can adhere to, deciding between following the path of technology or that of nature. There are eight classes per faction to choose from and numerous abilities and traits that can be accessed through skill trees which unlock as you level up. Also there are a lot of options which allow players to individualize their characters, helping them feel they are controlling a unique avatar.

With so many grind driven MMOGs, it comes both as a surprise and a breath of fresh air to be presented with one that proposes a non-repetitive and quite entertaining quest based level up system, and that’s ARGO Online. The quests aren’t innovative, but their variety and sheer number fully makes up for it. The PVP aspects of the game are shallow, but provide a quick and easy change of pace for those looking to step away from the PVE environment, and they do come with their fair share of rewards such as experience points, gold or items.

There is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to ARGO online, but when compared to other games of similar origins, it is clear that some serious steps have been made in the right direction. In its league, that of free to play MMORPGs, ARGO online is a serious competitor with some pretty interesting tricks up its sleeve. ARGO Online is a game that’s definitely worth playing.
