Storm Riders is the free-to-play Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) from 101XP. In a fantasy Far East setting you are a hero that not only is a Master of Martial Arts, but controls the elements as well; your task is to stop the evil Lord Shong and restore peace and order.
There are four available premade characters; you can only change their name and the items they carry and wear. Each hero represents a different class and has a unique set of skills and abilities as well as a background story. The quest-driven story will have you travel to many different locations and battle against hordes of enemies. Upon completion, each quest will reward you with experience, gear and money. The game implements an AFK system that allows for effortless adventuring even if you are not in front of your computer.
Battle in Storm Riders is a spectacle; stunning spells and special effects whenever you perform a combo hit, together with beautiful animations and the appropriate sound effects contribute to a feast for your eyes. The combat system revolves around timely usage of your abilities in order to achieve combo hits for maximum damage while trying to avoid enemy attacks. And as in every modern game of the genre you will also find guilds, pets and PVP battles.
To sum up, Storm Riders is a title that doesn’t bring something new to the genre but it surely is entertaining and will offer an immensely satisfying experience to the RPG enthusiast.
