Asmongold praises ‘badass’ new MMO despite problematic movement mechanics and lack of pay-to-win

Although he has issues with the limited movement features, lack of mounts and pay-to-win features, Asmongold enjoys it Throne and freedom, mainly thanks to the Guardians you can unlock, and claims that the game only gets better the more you play it.

In the latest version of Asmongold Throne and freedom YouTube video, the content creator expressed his problems with the title but still claimed it’s “badass” because of the Vampire Slayer Ezekiel Guardian, which you can unlock in the Chapter Five mission, A Sacred Pledge of Blood.

Guardians are one of the most exciting aspects of combat Throne and freedomand it’s easy to see why Asmongold loves them. This is because you can transform into a Guardian that you have unlocked for a short period of time. As Asmongold discovered, transforming into Vampire Slayer Ezekiel boosts your defenses, damages nearby enemies for a percentage of your maximum health, and restores health based on a percentage of the damage you deal to your targets . Each Guardian offers unique bonuses, which can be a fantastic tool in boss battles. And they look epic.

Another feature that everyone, including Asmongold, seems to love is that most of the content is voice acting. So if you want to hit the skip button and avoid reading, you’ll often hear the essential information you need to know about the quest or story. Because the narrator’s voice and enchanting style remind me so much of the story from Baldur’s Gate 3 and for others Fable, you can’t help but skip reading just to listen. It’s so good.

Interestingly enough, Asmongold doesn’t have many negative things to say Throne and freedom outside of the generic graphics and great combat (excluding Guardians). However, in saying that, he has a bone to pick with the developers over the scarcity of movement options, such as not being able to jump and then move and the lack of a double jump. These would be great features to add, especially for those who love to explore every nook and cranny of the world. And while he knows the developers deliberately did this as a stylistic choice, he really wishes they had mounts instead of morphs.

But Asmongold’s most surprising comment during this stream was when he talked about level increases and lamented, “There’s not as much pay-to-win as I would like.” And he’s right. There are no immediate level boosts or experience bonuses you can purchase, as in World of Warcraft. So it forces you to play the game at a level, which is a nice change from other MMOs that offer these types of microtransactions.

The downside is that since this is a new game, it’s tricky to know how to gain and gain experience, and a lot of the content, including parts of the main campaign, is level-locked. Players like Asmongold had to try different strategies to gain experience just to reach a higher level. And they unfortunately discovered that some of these strategies, like the blue side quests in low-level areas compared to you, were just a waste of time. If you’re having trouble getting past these level locks, the best way to gain experience is by visiting dungeons and tower floors (if you have access) or by doing codex missions in the top-level areas you have access to.

While there are no level boost or experience improvement packs, these microtransactions can be introduced later as more content and areas are unlocked, similar to how Smilegate and Amazon Games introduced power passes for each continent as they were introduced in Lost Ark.

Throne and freedom has a lot of growth potential. It will be exciting to see how far this MMO can go and if it will continue to grow.
