Is Guild Wars® Reforged worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- MMO players who want several story campaigns rather than a single short adventure
- Build-focused RPG players who enjoy combining professions, equipment, and skills
- Players who want to switch between PvE missions, hard mode, and PvP
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a short, linear campaign may find the three-campaign structure and hundreds of quests too extensive
- Players who do not want to manage character builds, equipment, skills, and party composition may hit a wall during progression
- Players looking for a primarily solo action game may not want its online roleplaying and group systems
Our take on Guild Wars® Reforged
The bounce point arrives when character building and party composition become central to progression. Players who want to follow a simple combat path may stall while choosing among ten professions, equipment combinations, thousands of skills, and player or NPC allies.
What is Guild Wars® Reforged?
Guild Wars Reforged is a networked fantasy RPG spanning Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall.
Its adventures move through Tyria, where players undertake quests and missions, tackle hard-mode variants, and compete in player-versus-player battles. Builds draw from ten professions, with equipment and skills shaping each character. Groups may consist of human companions, computer-controlled henchmen, or adaptable heroes suited to tactical encounters. Content includes hundreds of quests, dungeons, seasonal events, titles, and advancement milestones ranging from capturing skills to obtaining elite armor.
The purchase provides the complete three-campaign package and eight character slots. Each slot supports either a character made specifically for PvP or one intended for the player-versus-environment story. Play requires no recurring monthly payment, and the game is verified for Steam Deck.
