This might possibly be my favorite part of Skyforge. What makes Skyforge particularly unique, though, is the way that the story is integrated into the MMORPG-style gameplay. The rest of the story mechanics are pretty straightforward – as you progress, bits and pieces of the plot will be revealed to you.

You play the part of an Immortal soldier, going on “Combat Missions” to try and, well, combat the evil forces plaguing your world. The greater god Aeli, however, has up and disappeared, leaving the planet open to attacks from hostile gods. The interest level of game plotlines is relative: Skyforge’s storyline doesn’t really stack up against games that focus heavily on plot (certain RPGs come to mind), but compared to the narratives of most other MMORPGs, Skyforge does quite a decent job.īasically, you live in a world called Aelion, where gods derive their powers from their followers. Guess what? The story won’t make you fall asleep Is it worth the 20 GB of disk space, though? My answer is yes – here are just a few of the reasons why. Open beta began in mid-July, which means it’s available for players like you and me to download.

Skyforge is one of those games: its development began in 2010, and it was released in closed beta March 11 of this year. They may have some wrinkles here and there, but as long as the gameplay and game design are unique enough and interesting enough, they make for a great gaming experience.
