Games like Royal Quest Online

Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed opinion: players like the old-school grind and classic MMO feel, but many criticise pay-to-win spending, bots, server problems and a lack of new content.

Many players describe Royal Quest Online as a classic, quest-heavy MMORPG with an old-school grind, a fantasy setting with guns and magic, and a strong mix of PvE dungeons, boss fights and PvP over castles. Some enjoy the elemental magic system, the trading and loot, and the nostalgic feel. Complaints are mostly about the game outside the play itself: many reviewers say the in-game shop and premium subscription make progress much easier, that the server population includes many bots and that the community is dominated by Russian-speaking players, which makes teaming up hard for English speakers. Some players also report server lag, connection drops, login and PIN problems, and account bans, and several say the content has not changed in years. Recent reviews could not be compared with older ones, so this is based on the helpful reviews from the last year.

Who it suits

Suits players who enjoy old-school quest-driven MMORPGs, have time for long grinds and are comfortable playing with a mainly Russian-speaking community.

Who should skip it

Should be skipped by players who dislike pay-to-win, want fresh content, need English-speaking groups or expect smooth servers and a bot-free world.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with several hundred hours tend to focus more on the shop, bots and lack of updates, while newer players mainly mention the nostalgic feel and grind.
