Albion Online Game Review – Best F2P MMORPG 2020 For PC/Android
hello everybody spirit Gaming here and welcome
to my albion online game review there are going
to be many topics for the duration of the video so
to help all of you out i will make timestamps for
each topic so you can go straight into whatever
you’re interested in the first topic of this
video is pretty interesting that is what is albion
online albion online is a sandbox mmrpg set in an
open medieval fantasy world the game features a
player driven economy where nearly every item is
playercrafted you combine armor pieces and weapons
suited to your playstyle in a unique lastless you
are what you wear system and a really important
thing is that the whole world is played on the
same server so you can play with your friends
without worrying where they are from and also this
game is cross-platform between android devices as
of matching this video and pc link of the game is
in the description below the game does not have
any quests after the first tutorial island which
after you complete will send you to the huge
world of albion online the biggest problem
that beginners face is what to do next well it is
pretty simple you set a goal for yourself the goal
become the richest player some the best crafter
best pvp player and many many many other goals
so the game lets you choose how you want to play
however if you are not that into pvp then i just
want to say that this game is probably not the
game for you since yes you can do all these
things but there will come a point where you
will have a crazy amount of sewer and you won’t be
able to do anything with it and when that happens
the only way to lose silver is to do full loot pvp
in the black or red zones which when you die in
those zones you lose all of the items that you are
wearing except silver and gold the second topic of
this review is the destiny board this is one of
the most important things in the game since the
game is not like most mmorpg games where you level
your character but instead in this game you level
up your gear pieces what this means is that if you
are using for example both casters as your weapon
you will not be getting any fame or experience on
any other weapons that exist in the game famous
as i said experience of the game and you get it by
doing pve crafting refining gathering farming and
etc now do not worry since once you max out
the earpiece and continue using it you will
start getting fame credits which you can use to
level up any other gear pieces that you won’t be
using or you’re planning to use eventually a third
topic of this review is the player driven economy
this is one of those games where the developers
are only updating game while the players control
it now to give you an example of the player
dreaming economy there are six main cities
and each of them have their own marketplace any
item has different prices in all those cities
which means even one player can move the whole
economy by crafting an item 100 times and selling
it on the market for a lower price than any other
player that has placed that item what this means
is that that item will have its estimated market
value lowered and people will more likely buy your
items which means the other players will lower the
price of their items making a drop in the price of
that item the only thing that the devs can do is
nerf the item which most of the time makes the
item even cheaper the fourth topic of this video
is the unique lastly system called you are what
you wear system what this means is that you can
equip different gear pieces and each one of them
will let you do different things there is
a crazy amount of gear pieces in this game
to the point where many players don’t even know
what some of the items do but in the end you can
create your own builds that suit your pastels and
not just copy the builds of different players all
this makes the game feel unique for every single
player and that is why i love it the fifth topic
is the combat system the combat system in albion
online is pretty simple you have six different
active abilities three from the weapon you’re
wearing and one from each gear piece that you’re
wearing then you have a passive which you get from
equipping a cape and two more active items on you
which is the food that gives you different stats
depending on the food and the other item is the
potions which have different effects depending on
what potion you’re using however even though you
would think having six abilities is easy to learn
it actually is not what most beginner players have
a problem with is the sheer amount of items that
exist in the game and each one of those items have
different abilities so even if you learn how to
play a young swan build it is still hard to learn
how to play against a different build the sixth
topic is pve the pve in this game is not that
great however it is a must since if you want to
start doing pvp you first need to get silver and
you get silver by gathering or doing pve content
now there are many different pve things you can do
some of them are random dungeons that spawn in the
world then you have corrupted dungeons which are a
mix of pve and pvp then you have the dungeons that
spawn in the avalonian roads the chests that spawn
there and hardcore expeditions and of course many
many many other pve things you can do some of the
things i mentioned are safe to do and get you
a nice amount of silver however if you do want
to get even more silver then you will have to risk
quite a bit meaning you will do pve content in the
black zones where any player can start attaching
you and if you die you will lose out of your gear
this basically means the more you risk the better
you get rewarded the seventh topic is the pvp
now there are many many many different
pvp types in albion online including 1v1
2v2 roaming ganking dungeon diving 5v5 small
group pvp zvz’s action fights gvgs and more i
will be doing a guide for all of those topics
soon so make sure you subscribe to know when i
will post them but to give you a brief example
1v1 pvp is mostly done in corrupted dungeons
where did you up for a fight but while queuing
up you defeat monsters that give you fame and
infamy the more infamy you have the better the
rewards get at the end of the run after the game
finds you a match you will either get invaded or
invade someone’s dungeon where if you kill the
player you just continue with your own dungeon
and get their items however if you get killed
then you will lose all of your items excluding the
silver and the gold the 2v2 fights are called hell
gates where you can find portals around the world
and enter them once you enter the portal you will
face off a party of two other players and whoever
wins gets the enemy’s loot and items that were
on them the same happens with 5v5 hail gates but
5v5 tailgates are not the only content there are
things called gvg fights and crystal league fights
which are done in a king of the hill type of a
game mode action fights are basically different
cities fighting each other for faction points
which you can exchange for items this is all i’m
going to explain for a pvp in this video or as
i said earlier stay tuned for more pvp videos on
albion online the next topic is the gathering and
refining there are different gathering professions
including stone cutting lumber gearing skinning
fiber gathering mining and fishing fishing is
a bit different than the rest since you can’t
refine fish however you can do that with every
other gathering profession this means that once
you gather enough wood you can make it in plaques
or when you gather enough stone you can refine it
to stone blocks you get the idea you gather and
then you transport what you gathered and refine
it and after you find it you can set that product
for nice profit the higher your gathering level
the better since you can gather bigger things that
give you more silver crafting is interesting too
since you can craft anything in a game i won’t
go too in depth in this video however i will
give you a quick review of the crafting system
basically what you do is you buy or gather the
required materials for a crafting recipe then you
go to a crafter give them your materials and you
will craft an item each city has a different bonus
for crafting different items so please check that
before you focus too much on it but yeah that
was basically the quick overview however as i
said earlier i’m planning to do a video on all of
these different topics and depending on when you
watch this video i might have done it already so
check my channel out and subscribe this next topic
is what interests most people and that is the
monetization many of you are asking yourself
is this game actually free to play or is it paid
to win and my answer is yes this game is probably
the most free to play mmorpg game i have ever
played since getting silver and premium status is
really easy also i’d like to mention that you can
download the game using my referral link in the
description and when you get your first premium
status both me and you will get stuff in return so
if you are planning to play the game don’t forget
to register and download the game using that link
or if you don’t want to the game is available on
steam as well the last thing about this topic is
that yes you can buy gold with money which can be
transferred to silver and vice versa but it is so
easy to get silver to the point where buying
gold is a waste unless you want to support the
developers or you don’t have the time and patience
to grind out silver which as i said is actually
pretty easy the next stop is the community in-game
now just like in any other games there are many
toxic people but of course there are also helpful
and chill people but i would like to say that it
is your choice on what people you choose to play
with there are many different deals and alliances
in the game to the point where there is a yield
for any type of a player there are crafting yields
money-making yields small group yields big scale
deals toxic guilds that want to ruin your day
show dudes where people don’t care what happens
but what i’m trying to say is that you can choose
what type of guild you want to join and play with
however to do that you might need to play the game
solo for a bit until you get enough experience
to join that certain guild my recommendation
is to start reviewing the deals you’re interested
in mainly by joining their discord since
many of the guilds have a discord server where
you can ask anything about the guild the next
topic is the bad side of the game aka the problems
personally i don’t want this video to sound like
albion online is perfect so that is why i made
this topic i’ll be online just like any other
game has its problems especially the lag problem
since there is only one server and every single
player plays on that same server which means you
sometimes experience lag especially if you live in
the eu or the sca region the other problems that
you can face are bugs and occasional hackers or
even players that play on two different devices at
the same time however there’s a cool little trick
to this that you can just record when you see some
bad stuff going on and then make a forum post and
report that player this means that that player
will most likely get banned if they actually did
something wrong another problem is that the game
is not getting big updates frequently however it
does have daily server maintenance which is one of
the most awesome things that you can have and of
course the last topic is the conclusion as i said
at the start albion online is a sandbox mmorpg
that has a unique classic system and player driven
economy the game allows everyone to play together
without limiting you to play with only eu us sea
or any other players in the world since this game
has only one server and everyone plays on that
same server the main point of the game is any kind
of pvp whether it would be really small group pvp
solo pvp small group pvp or even large scale pvp
you basically choose what is fun for you or what
you can do a pve is okay but not the best however
it does allow you to have multiple play styles the
game allows you to make silver by doing anything
really which is why i love it the most there
is a really good guild system and give a high
load system where you control territories with
your guild and defend it when it’s attacked or
attack anyone that tries to get in your territory
overall the game offers a lot and even though it
does have some problems it is safe to say that
it is one of the top 5 best free-to-play mmorpg
games for both pc and android in 2020 and that
is pretty much it about the video make sure you
subscribe for more game reviews and albion online
content and as always bye bye until next time
