Our take on Arch Legends
Rather than limiting progression to a solitary hero, Arch Legends places guild quests, summoned allies, and a player marketplace alongside narrated campaign-style adventures. Its RPG structure therefore includes several systems built around interaction between players.
What is Arch Legends?
Arch Legends is a third-person RPG set in the dark-fantasy Kingdom of Evereska.
Players explore maps, hunt for treasure, and fight monsters through real-time combat where mistakes can cause defeat. Character development includes selectable vocations and abilities with different strengths and weaknesses. Players can summon allies for difficult encounters, join guilds, and complete special quests for rewards that can be exchanged for items. A global player marketplace supports trading between players. The game presents several adventures in the style of narrated classic RPG campaigns. The vendor says Arch Legends has no microtransactions or cash shop.
