Developer: Funcom Publisher: Funcom Release Date: Late 2006
When you talk about the greatest fantasy writers of the 20th century, there's no disputing the two names at the top of the list: J.R.R. Tolkien and Robert E. Howard. While Tolkien's fantasy epic has served as the basis of numerous video games, the sword and sorcery tales of Howard's Conan have sadly been neglected. Thankfully, Funcom will soon allow you to play in the exciting world of the cranium-cleaving Cimmerian with Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. Populated by regal Aquilonians, wicked Stygians and hardy Cimmerians as well as a host of other people and creatures and locales from the stories, the world of Conan feels alive with a rich sense of history. The dynamic attack system adds loads of excitement to the combat letting players control their swings, ride down enemies on horseback and basically grab and stab to their heart's content. A robust real-time strategy mode lets players participate in city raids with NPC soldiers and player-crafted siege engines as well. We've been waiting for an authentic Conan game for a long time and Funcom's certainly on track to deliver an experience worthy of the license.
AoC does look pretty damn good compared to the other mmo's coming out around the same time. I think this one will be a winner with the majority of people that play mmo's.
