The newest possibly the best game for the RO series.
The one thing that Ragnarok Journey banks on is its visually thematic and familiar to Ragnarok Online. By looking at it from a far, you wouldn’t know the difference. The game is a free to play, top-down isometric game that uses 2D animated graphics. Sound familiar? It’s hard not to feel the tinge of nostalgia.
When it comes to character progression, the game does have interesting ideas. For starters, there’s a new autopilot mode called auto play that might just blow your mind. When the option is active, you pretty much sit back and watch as your character goes about their business. Quests get completed on their own. You involuntarily walk around, talk to NPCs to pick up the objectives and move on your merry way. If it’s a combat objective, like kill ten rats, then the autopilot will take care of that too. It’s a weird feeling seeing your character engage in monotonous combat without complex abilities being used.
Ultimately, Ragnarok Journey is a decent throwback to the golden age of browser MMOs. In its time, Ragnarok blew up the East as Runescape did for the west. This game on the other hand, feels like a prop. It’s fun in ways that peaks your interest and nostalgia for those good old times. How well you tolerate the lack of a cohesive story on top of the grind is entirely up to you. But either way, this is a free to play game with interesting idea that deserves a shot to uphold its legacy.
