Murloc RPG

I found web-based Flash game Murloc RPG at XGenStudios, who also host Defend Your Castle. Apparently Gamer Disclaimer is a bit of a World of Warcraft fan. Rather than hoping for Blizzard to make Murlocs into a playable race, (s)he decided to write (her/)his own 5MB flash game. It was featured in the WoW Community Spotlight back in October.

Murloc RPG puts you in the role of Murk, an inexperienced Murloc warrior. Your accomplishments shall surely grant you everlasting glory, at least until an adventurer finds your village…

  • 20 Talents
  • 50+ Items
  • Tons of enemies to battle
  • Fully developed storyline
  • Lots of areas to explore

It looks good. It also does a bloody good job of modelling the early levels of every MMORPG known to man. Yep, your first quest is go out and get the chief 10 chunks of meat. Wolf meat, in this case. Here’s your rusty knife. Try not to yawn too loudly.

It could benefit from a few more keyboard controls, especially in battle. I’m a big fan of one-handed games. The sound is pretty repetitive as is the grind. Nonetheless, it’s an entertaining flash game. Try it out. You get 3 save slots so turn the sound off at work. It’ll make a great long-term alternative to Solitaire.
