Camelot Unchained

EARLY ACCESS. They game needs work yes but the amount of negativity reviews by ppl with .1hrs (6-7mins of play) is weird. If I didn’t know any better I’d say ppl are paying without intentions of actually playing just to review bomb.

bought the game dispite the neg reviews and they were correct. The game just keeps saying unable to connect to server so i am unable to play refund requested.

Right time to throw my bag of coins into the ring I'm a backer and have been since 2018 and did so because, like most people wanted to relive the good old days of Dark age of Camelot. Mark Jacobs vision for Camelot unchained was to bring back a style of MMO that had been left by the wayside a Tri-realm MMO only done by a handful of games DAOC, Warhammer age of Reckoning, ESO, New World of which i played. say the thing, Say The Thing !! yes the game has taken 13 years of development. the current build of the game has only been in development for the last 2 years. But Mark Jacobs and the Team at Unchained Entertainment (formally know as City State Entertainment) have been adamant that they wanted to make a spiritual successor to DAOC. They have tested multiple systems, CUBE being one of them and have shelfed Ideas and rebuilt the game multiple times and that's not easy to do, to get the game right and to deliver the game that we all want. A game that is fun and engaging, Three factions that players can play and build a community around and have faction pride as well as a metric ton of RVR / PVP. So enough blowing smoke up there bums. Con's * Don't expect to have your hand held * Currently no quest system * Not a PVE focus game * Don't expect a overly complexed combat system Pro's * A beautiful looking world that we would have kill for back in the 2000's ( yes some people see this is as bad thing. but as someone who has played MMO's for 25 years it's a trip back into why i loved MMO's) * Multiple classes Right off the bat each faction has 7 classes that are currently in game and you can play now, with another 4 classes in the pipe line (Crafter class, Scout, Shifter, spirit mage as of June's roadmap outline "Subject to change" because development ) * a simple yet meaningful gathering & crafting system, you want the best gear in game get someone to make it for you or if you have the time make it yourself. * RVR / PVP: go out solo, make a group, Join a Warband go out from you homeland and defend your realm and once you have done that why stop there invade another factions PVP zone Raid there point of interest harvest there resources. Weaken their keeps by preventing their troops from getting around the map fast by taking their stables. stop them from respawning by taking their church. take their barracks and armoury to weaken their guards and then bash down their gates, fight the lord and take their keep and then you can do it again, but holding three keeps isn't easy !. and there is more to come don't like any of that that's fine. i wish you all the best in what ever game you play next. you like what I've said then for a very small amount come give the game ago if you find Issue flag them up on Discord help the team make this game the best it can be. Ask for help cos as i said this game won't hold your hand.

The game has all of the makings of a great game, it is still early access. The systems and designs are promising and it is fun even in it's current state. Even in the few weeks of early access the dev team has shown responsiveness to the community, and they clearly have their ear to the ground. Having said that, the game is not polished yet and if some work in progress elements will frustrate you, simply wait a little longer to give it a try.

getting better

Its been a rocky road but with the recent change in development and surge of new life the game seems like its in good hands finally. The gameplay is definitely early stages but i actually had fun running around with a big raid group assaulting the enemy castles. Needs work but its getting there!

I had fun with it at the core on my first play through... I was able to group up with realm mates, take keeps, and partake in RvR PVP action that was fun. The game doesn't have much content outside crafting and pvp, and the game needs a lot of work on content, bugs, and graphics.

Lots and gathering mats, lots of crafting. Some resources are starved and make progress slow. Itemization isn't in yet, so you don't find loot, you make very basic starter type items. No dungeons, or monsters either. Just hunting and PVP. I didn't have any crashes, lag or bugs, but I have a high-end PC. Unchained is still very early. Only get if you were a huge DAoC fan and like testing concepts.

fun game

I'm a long time backer. Played DAOC and many other MMO's. Patiently waiting for the return to community based MMO's.
