Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures takes place in a huge MMORPG 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 lurks 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.
The drums of war have sounded, but who will heed the call? Find out in this Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures video review.
To quote the video review: “After a series of successful jaunts in books, movies, and comics, it was only a matter of time until Conan, a man of legend and loincloths, would eventually extend his bronzed and muscled grip into the flabby and pasty dominion of massively multiplayer online videogames. That time is now.
With style, substance, and attitude under its +4 strength leather belt, Age of Conan may have a ways to go before entering an age of refinement, but when that time comes it’ll no doubt find its place as an online world power. Only time will tell whether or not Funcom can chip away at the glacial foothold Blizzard has in the MMO market, but you can bet on Conan and his motley crew will be hacking and slashing every inch of the way.”
