In a world filled with cruel gods, mythical creatures, lost civilizations and a struggling human race, the mighty barbarian has finally seized the throne as king of Aquilonia. But Conan’s rule is on the brink of chaos, spiraling towards the doom of ancient evils. In this twisted fantasy world, dark magic and brutal combat lurk around every corner, and each man and woman must carve their own unique destiny under Conan’s reign. In the true vision of Robert E. Howard’s dark universe it’s now time for you to become a messenger of death.

  • Enter the true Conan experience – The first official Conan online RPG sends you on a brutal journey in the footsteps of the worlds’ greatest fantasy hero. Meet Conan’s friend and foes, battle demons and monsters known from 70 year of Conan history, and step up to the ultimate challenge and befriend the mighty king Conan himself.
  • Explore the world of Conan – Enter a gigantic and unique gameworld containing more than 30 distinct regions spread across the three mighty nations of Aquilonia, Cimmeria and Stygia. Explore deep jungles, burning deserts, inhospitable mountains, vast valleys, dark dungeons or gleaming cities, and take part in an incredible journey of exploration and adventure.
  • Real Combat Engine – Experience Funcom’s revolutionary Real Combat engine, and fight mounted or on the ground. A new multi-point melee system allows the players to swing their weapons where they direct it, in real-time, going head-on against the formulaic nature of online RPG combat. The Real Combat engine also allow players to team up in battle formations and command both NPC’s and other players in epic multiplayer battles, as well as giving you the chance to participate in massive sieges.
  • Single-player vs. massively multiplayer – Emerge as a hero from the story-driven single-player experience and embark into even greater adventures in the massively multiplayer part of the game. The branching single-player story is created by the award-winning writers behind The Longest Journey, Dreamfall and Anarchy Online so expect something extraordinary.
  • PvP and PvE – Meet the ultimate resistance in human opponents, and enjoy crushing the skulls of fellow players in mini-games, sieges, arena fights and drunken brawls. Charge into the world of Conan, and fight monsters and demons alone or in groups.
  • Extensive guild and solo gameplay – Form guilds in the multiplayer game and lay siege to hostile castles. Let the catapults sing their merry song of death as the enemy is brutally crushed to a pulp.

Review by Ross on 4th April, 2011
4 stars "Brilliant graphics but they never delivered on all they promised"
This had the makings of a very good game, brilliant grpahics. Typical MMO leveling but the promises for PvP weren't there. The game itself still had a substantial amount of work to be done for completion, which possibly happened after I quit the game. I like PvP.

5 stars "Fun, unique and innovative"
I played in the Age of Conan beta and got to have a taste of what is going to be a really great and addictive game ^^ The game ran extremely well after the latest patch and it really is mind blowing at how beautiful the game engine is especially for an MMO.

Combat in Age of Conan is done in realtime which provides a unique gameplay style which makes PVP more about skill and timing than who has the best gear. When entering Hyboria it's everyman for himself so if you want to make it in this game your going to have to make friends and join a guild of people that are willing to help you out and watch your back in battle.

It has a really gritty and gruesome gameplay style and a really strong storyline which makes it ideal for mature gamers or people who get kicks out of decapitating other players heads :)

They have taken the best ideas and features from all of the top MMOs and added there own to bring what I believe to be a great game with lots of fun PVE and PVP content for endless hours of fun.

I'm definitely buying this game and highly recommend it to anyone.
