First, there was Minecraft, a 3D environment builder/RPG that is all the rage. Then, there was Terraria, a 2D environment builder/action platformer that is all the rage. Now, there is 8BitMMO, a 2D environment builder/MMO that wants to be all the rage.
After 14 years of development, free-to-play MMO 8BitMMO sees a release on PC, Mac and Linux
MMOGames writes: "The closest equivalents in the 8Bit world seen thus far would be the Legend of Zelda or Sword of Mana for the Gameboy Advance. As with any other RPG (action RPG in particular), the higher your weapon stats, the more damage you will be able to do. Here’s where we get into the nitty gritty of the game, and it lies in the fact that at some point, if you want to advance, you will need to spend real money."
While most mmos are your standard cookie-cutter fare, there are alternatives worth looking at. MMO-Play presents the top 5 outside the box mmos.
Dupe.
