Obscure MMOs Worth Playing

There are so many MMOs out there, it’s hard to pick one to play. I’m
a big fan of MMOFPS games, but I also like to try other things as
well, so I decided to throw up a short list of free to play non-MMOFPS
games that are worth checking out. This list will largely focus on
obscure MMOs that most people have never heard of or played. It’s
amazing how many awesome games are that aren’t MMOFPSs
and many people don’t play.

Anyway. The first game on my list is Lost Saga by OGPlanet.
The game to me feels like a successor the popular Rumble Fighter,
as the game just offers so much more than Rumble Fighter. It has 20+
playable characters, enormous variety and simple yet fun gameplay. Plus
players can mix and match equipment from all characters to create a
truly unique fighter. The game is definitely under rated and deserves a
much higher playerbase. As is, it’s definitely my favorite free to play MMO
fighting game, with Mini Fighter Online
a distant second.

Next up is Ace Online from
SubaGames. Ace Online online is a fast paced MMO where players control
futuristic fighter jets called ‘Gears’. Think of it as Star Fox, but an
MMO. Sounds awesome, right? It is. I’ve been a fan of Star Fox, so I
fell in love with Ace Online right away. The game has some awesome
faction vs faction battles with have hundreds of players fighting it out
at once while look absolutely incredible. If you’re a fan of Star Fox
games, Ace Online is well worth checking out.

Two other games I wanted to mention are Carom3D and Valkyrie
Sky. Carom3D is a billiards MMO and Valkyrie Sky is a horizontal
shooter with MMO elements. I’ve never played billiards in real life, but
I’m a big fan of Carom3D, as it’s an unusually fun game. It’s simple
to learn, but extremely competitive. Valkyrie Sky is fun because it
feels like a classical arcade game, but with cooperative gameplay. It’s
also pretty difficult, so just completing a stage late in the game
feels very rewarding.

Before I wrap up, I want to mention two more awesome MMOs which
deserve more attention. The first is FreeStyle
Street basketball by GameKiss and the second
is League of Legends
from Riot Games. FreeStyle: Street Basketball is enormously popular in
Korea, but the game has such a low playerbase in North America. It
deserves so much more. I personally don’t even follow basketball or care
much for it, but FreeStyle is so simple and fun. It’s without a doubt
my favorite sports MMO.
Seriously, do yourself a favor and try it. League of Legends on the
other hand, is a bit more popular, but it still deserves to be more
popular. It’s an incredible free to play ‘DotA’ like game with 50+
unique heroes and silk smooth gameplay. It’s easily one of my favorite
MMOs of all times.

Anyway guys, that’s it for my short list of awesome MMOs worth
checking out. Let me know what you think in the comments.
