Kingdom Of Loathing is Simple and Fun
The Kingdom of Loathing is a fun text rpg game with a mmo type feel. It’s not a game where you team up to fight mobs but there are clans you can join. The clans provide a way to meet others and help with quests or items. The game is played in your browser entirely. All the graphics in the game are hand drawn stick figures which make it an easy game to play anywhere! The quests you will find are filled with humor and wit. When you join up and create your character you can go to Mt. Noob in the Big Mountains area. This is where all new players start and get used to the mechanics in the game.
Start out by signing up and create your character. You have 6 classes to choose from which range from a typical mele to a magical character. This is more a turn based game rather than a real time game. You get 40 turns a day with a max limit set at 200. You can also gain more turns by using certain items or by being in a clan. You can also gain more turns by eating food or by drinking. The drinking can get you intoxicated which will end your play for the day if you get too drunk. The currency in this game is meat which you can use to make different food or items. The crafting system in this game is very easy and imaginitive. Combine stuff together and make better stuff to use in a fight or sell. Some quests require you to combine things together to finish.
The combat in the game is turn based which means you will take turns against a mob exchanging hits. You can use a weapon, skill or an item. You can also have pets fighting with you which are called familiars. Each familiar are very different and some will do damage to yourself. The familiars can level up to a max of level 20 which can make them stronger. This game is very different from others because most players are looking to collect as many things as they can. They can sell rare items in their own store which you must be level 9 or above to have. You can also sell stuff in the flea market if you can’t get a store yet. There are also trophies for collecting or doing stuff in the game. You can show off your trophies to others also.
This game is played by yourself but you can also fight against other players. The PVP system in this game is started by breaking your Magical Mystical Hippy Stone. The combat in PVP is a bit different where you can lose stuff you have. You will be able to choose what the winner gets after the fight. There is also mini games two players can play while in pvp also. Acension is when you finish the game and can play again at level 1. By playing again some parts of the game will open up for you that others can’t get into. You will also be able to play the game again with certain options which can make it harder or easier.
I find this game fun and very easy to play anywhere! The biggest problem is you could lose your character if you don’t log in for a 60 day period. I couldn’t imagine having so many rare stuff and losing everything because I got busy with other stuff.
