Order and Chaos Online is a fantasy MMORPG video game developed by Gameloft for Windows Phone, iOS, and Android devices. The game was released for iOS on April 27, 2011, for Android on June 27, 2012, and for Windows Phone on July 10, 2013. The game has been noted several times for being one of the best playable fully 3D MMORPGs on a mobile platform.
I've recently got back into this game due to my itch to want to play World of Warcraft again. This game mimmicks the gameplay perfectly on your mobile device. I started playing a couple of years again and stopped once I hit level 60. Since then they increased the level cap to 70 and have added a new race. This game is a lot of fun and like I said this is just like WoW but its on the go. I currently play as a Monk level 62 but have been working on a Ranger level 33. All my toons are on the America - The Whispering Islands server if you'd like to join up for some questing!
Positive
- Literally the best MMORPG out for mobile devices
- Gameplay: if you have played WoW this will be simple to pick up
- 2nd "M" is for Multiplayer: there is no shortage of others to quest with
- Freemium: When I first started playing this game it was $6.99 but is now F2P (free to play)
Negative
- Freemium: Since making the switch to premium Gameloft pushes In-App purchases now
- Some of the other players can be a-holes but thats with any game played with others
- Guilds: Leveling up and running end-game content is hard without one
Here is some more info about the game:
Factions
The game has three playable factions:
Order: This faction is viewed as the Good for the world in Order & Chaos Online. If a player creates a character for the Order, Either Humans or Elf, He/She will begin in the Arcadian Forest.
Chaos: This faction is viewed as the Evil for the world in Order & Chaos Online. If a player creates a character for the Chaos, Either Orc or Undead, He/She will begin in the Tanned Land.
Neutral: The new Mendel class has been recently added, in which he or she will start off in the Mendel Village.
Races of Order
Human: Race Description - Humans always look to the horizon. They chase power and want to change the world, whether for good or for ill. Their settlements are among the brightest lights in a dark and untamed world. Humans constantly seek to explore new lands.
Elf: Race Description - An ancient race with strong ties to the forest, Elves have a detached view of the world. They often have difficulty believing that events in the world have much importance to them, for they consider consequences in terms of centuries.
Races of Chaos
Orc: Race Description - Orcs love close combat and plunge furiously into the thick of battle, giving no thought to retreat or surrender. People think they are savage, bloodthirsty marauders, but pride and hero worship course deep in the blood beneath their green skin.
Undead: Race Description - The Undead have journeyed to the end of night. Some have found wisdom, and others only sorrow. A selfish and cunning race, they have all the time in the world to pursue their dreams... Until they become nightmares.
New Races
Mendels: Race Description - This race are presented in the recent 2.0 update. Mendels start their game in the Mendel City. Users who want to play with Mendels can also get in battle with some unique mounts.
Classes
Both of the factions contain the same playable Classes which are Warrior, Monk, Mage and Ranger. Depending on the race chosen, the starting stats vary by a small margin, making some races more preferential than others when picking a class. This variation is only effective for the first few levels because equipment provides the most stats for a character and 1 to 5 stats point variation will have minimal influence at later levels.
Warrior: Is a DPS or Tank Class depending on the Talent Tree chosen by the player. The "Battle" Talent Tree is the players choice to become a DPS style character. "Battle" can use Dual-Wielded One-Handed Weapons or a Two-Handed Weapon. The option to use either One-Handed Weapons or a Two-Handed Weapon is up to the Player's style of play. If "Battle" is selected as primary Talent Tree, talents will include Passive and Activated Spells that will allow the Warrior to cause more Damage than a Warrior using the "Guardian" Talent Tree. The "Guardian" Talent Tree is a Tank style character. "Guardian" can use all weapons a "Battle" Warrior can but is ineffective unless using a One-Handed Weapon & Shield. If "Guardian" is selected as the primary Talent Tree, talents will include Passive and Activated Spells that will allow the Warrior to take less damage and Buff Team-Mates in and out of combat.
Monk: Is the only Healing Class in the game. Monk also has the choice to be a Melee DPS similar to that of a Paladin. The "Divine" Talent Tree is the players choice to be a Healing/Support style character. "Divine" can use Staves (Staffs), Polarms and Daggers. Generally Staves or Dagger and Heirloom in Off-Hand is preferred for best bonuses to heal and buff Team-Mates. Talents for the "Divine" Talent Tree will include Passive and Activated Spells that will improve healing abilities and the ability to Buff Team-Mates, but will lack in DPS Ability. The "Military Monk" Talent Tree is a DPS/Buff style character. If "Military Monk" is chosen as primary Talent Tree, talents will include Passive and Activated Spells that will Allow the Monk to deal more damage and buff Team-Mates, but the "Military Monk" lacks in healing capability.
Mage: Is a purely ranged DPS Class. The "Skyfire" Talent Tree is a pure Ranged DPS class that inflicts pure fire damage. If "Skyfire" is chosen as primary Talent Tree, the Player will have Passive and Activated Spells that will improve His/Her Fire damage capability but will lack using "PermaFrost" Spells. If "Permafrost" is chosen as the primary Talent Tree, the Player will have Passive and Activated Spells that improve DPS with "Permafrost" Spells. "Permafrost" Mages deal less damage but have a high level of Crowd Control spells that will slow and disable enemy targets.
Ranger: Is a DPS Class, either close combat or ranged depending on Talent Tree selected. The "Archer" Talent Tree is a Ranged DPS Class that uses Bow and Arrow or a Crossbow. If "Archer" is chosen the player will have Passive and Activated Spells that will allow them to cause Ranged DPS damage and Moderate Crowd Control, but "Archer" lacks in melee DPS. If "Assassin" (a.k.a Sin) is chosen as primary Talent Tree the player will have Passive and Activated Spells that will allow them to cause Melee DPS damage and Single Target stuns. "Assassin" Generally uses Dual-Wielded Daggers; stuns and poisons its targets rendering them useless. Also uses an increased stealth or sneak mode, but lacks in Ranged DPS.
