Alganon is the latest MMO which seems to have slipped through the net of the pack ofemerging and equally addictive MMO fantasy games becoming available. Although, at first glance this game looks like it offers nothing different from other well known online games such as Warcraft and Everquest,  it certainly has a few tricks up its sleeve to charm you away from brushing it aside.

The first thing I found nice about Alganon, from Quest online, was the UI which is very simple to use. I remember first playing Warcraft  and found it slightly confusing, but I think even my youngest cousins would have no issues with this whatsoever. Graphically this game isn’t totally up to scratch but these things can be fine tuned before the game is released. You can tell that the developers are solely concentrating on the gaming experience for the gamer not on the eye candy. I have to admit it’s not disappointing, the basics are learnt as you level your character. You choose one of 4 classes, each possessing a greater skill or ability in melee or magic. The nice thing is if you choose your primary specialisation you do have the option of having a second specialisation to not only make it easier to get into groups but give your character more of a challenge in game to progress.

The content of the game is not a letdown either it looks like even the most casual gamer can get the maximum satisfaction out of playing this game. There will be hours of entertainment and vast areas to explore and level in. The maps are beautifully detailed and offer colour and depth making it easier to find where you’re going. This game offers its own database called the “library” where anything you need to know about the game content itself can either be researched  in-game or online on MyAlganon. Even the studies of the crafts and your characters ability’s grow while your offline leaving your avatar with its own kind of artificial intelligence.

Although this will be a subscription game I think it’s certainly going to be worth every penny for the amount of game time you will get out of playing it. Personally I think it could be a game our younger gamers may want to play but I’m intrigued to see how the finished product will look and how well it will captivate and engage our gaming imaginations. It has plenty of space to evolve into something that you may not want to miss out on. The only problem you’re going to have is finding the time to play it with the competition in this genre!
