Although it is free-to-play (however, those eager to commit it to from the start in the UK can choose between three Founder’s Packs, offering different lengths of premium membership plus an array of exotic and useful in-game items, priced between £19 and an eye-watering £95), its gameplay falls outside of the expected fantasy-RPG blueprint. But if you crave the camaraderie and community feel that playing an MMO (perhaps as part of a clan or guild) brings, Blade & Soul could be worth checking out.īlade & Soul doesn’t conform to many of the MMO stereotypes.
BLADE AND SOUL ONLINE MAJOR CHARACTERS PC
Sure, South Korea has such a unique gaming culture (centred exclusively on online PC games) that what plays well over there doesn’t necessarily make sense over here. Sadly, publisher NCSoft (also an industry giant, but until now known only in the UK for the MMOs Guild Wars and Lineage) refuses to give out audience figures for it, but it’s likely that millions of gamers have played it. For Blade & Soul has consistently been among the top ten most successful games in South Korea since it launched in 2012 (and since 2013 has enjoyed similar success in China).
It’s a pretty safe bet that you’ve never heard of Blade & Soul, unless you happen to be a connoisseur of massively multiplayer online games (MMOs) – in which case, the news that it has finally arrived in the UK is probably the source of much excitement.
