With so many free-to-play massively-multiplayer online games hitting the market lately, it can be tough to decide which one is worth your precious time. At fi🦂rst glance RaiderZ may seem like your typical Eastern free-to-play MMORPG, complete with huge weapons and countless grind quests. However, at its core, the game offers an innovative monster-hunting experience that has the potential to be compelling, even if it’s fairly rough around the edges.

R꧂aiderZ features four generic styles, or classes: Defender (tank), Sorcerer (magic damage dealer), Berzerker (melee damage dealer), and Cleric (healer). The style you choose will initially determine the types of abilities and weapons open to you. As you progress through the game, you can eventually cherry pick abilities from other styles in order to create any sort of character you want, making for some interesting class combin𒉰ations.

The first zone, Broken Mast, sets the stage for every zone that follows it, with mini-quest hubs throughout and small groups of quest mobs inhabiting only specific areas. RaiderZ's story, as told by these quests, isn't particularly gripping. However, it does introduce you to the game's treadmill progression, where players receivওe quests to kill specific monsters that in turn drop crafting items, allowing you (through the help of an NPC) to forge better equipment, so that you can in turn find and kill bigger monsters.

For the right gamer, that progression can be satisfying, but it's surprising that the quests are🍌n't more interesting or inspired here. Instead, the majority of them are tedious grind quests, ones that direct you to kill a certain amount of monsters in an area or collect specific types of loot off their corpses.
