Zones are segregated, meaning that you’re required to move through loading screens to explore new areas.Īlthough speaking of business model, that’s where this begins to fall apart as a game.
Imagine being on a tiny little bunny and fighting someone on a massive dragon. It shouldn’t be too difficult to implement, and would provide for some much more interesting PvP skirmishes. Mounted combat is something that I personally think is largely missing in the genre and a feature that should be present in most modern titles. Riders of Icarus allows for you to fully engage enemies while mounted in the air, providing the option for mounted combat. What’s more, even MMOs like World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV – the 2 largest MMOs that both have a functional flight system offer only the most basic of features. Riders of Icarus isn’t the first MMO to implement flying, but it’s rare to come across as a feature. In essence, they act like a secondary player – a companion. Monsters you tame have individual stats, skills and levels. Or flying mounts like gryphons, dragons and unicorns. These included land mounts like horses, wolves, tigers. I mean I wouldn’t say it’s a stretch for you to be able to tame boss monsters at one point either. Normal monsters, elite monsters, rare monsters. Its unique selling point was that you could capture, in essence, every monster you saw. The game has a large world for players to explore, either on foot, via land mount or aerial mount.Īs I noted, this is a very Pokemon-esque title. So, at its core this is your traditional MMORPG. It has many terrible aspects, but at the same time provides players some unique features that either aren’t present in other MMOs, or just aren’t nearly as fleshed out.
We’ve written extensively about the problems associated with the blockchain and NFTs, particularly as they pertain to online games.Let me preface this by stating that Riders of Icarus isn’t a terrible game. The studio did put out a video promoting its new token, but that is literally all it does, with an extended animated graphic of a purple coin. It’s hard to see this new monetization move as anything but a last-ditch attempt to profit from the game before its presumptive demise. We do note here that Valofe promised significant activity in the game when it took over from Nexon as well, but that also did not happen. Instead of playing just for fun, you can earn money while having fun! We will soon introduce new weapons that will help riders with their adventure, new quests to explore, a new dungeon to challenge, and so much more!”

RIDERS OF ICARUS PC
“Riders of Icarus PC is going P2E! It’s still the same game we know and love and it’s going to get upgraded.
Now, Valofe has announced that it’s introducing a play-to-earn token – Rania Token – and pinning its remaining hopes on the blockchain.
RIDERS OF ICARUS LICENSE
Readers will recall that the taming-centric MMO soft-launched almost six years ago under Nexon’s banner with over a million western players, but Nexon’s license ended back in 2019, thereby sending publishing of the game over to Valofe Global, whereupon at least the MMO’s Steam numbers continued to decline to its current two-digit average.
