Keepers of the Rift
Keepers of the Rift is a browser-based MMORPG where you play as an up-and-coming hero, who is setting off on an adventure to right the wrongs of the world. This dream of yours puts you in direct conflict with the shadowy organization called the Dark Legion. Thankfully, you won’t be taking on the enemy alone – assemble a party of heroes, bring along your combat pet and help save the gorgeous world known as Incuria from these nefarious villains.The game provides 6 unique classes for you to play as, namely warrior, priest, hunter, bard, engineer and knight, and each class comes in two genders. Questing in this game is as painless as it can be. It’s not at all grindy and is automated to an extent. The game’s turn-based combat is also similar in many ways. You can choose to manually select a skill to use and which enemy to use it on or you can simply let the game’s automation kick in by turning on auto-combat.
There are tons of other features as well, including titles, wings, and mounts for you to improve your Battle Rating; dungeons for you to raid in; and even PvP battles at the Coliseum. Best of all, the game has some of the most colorful and adorable graphics by browser standards, and an interesting variation of background tunes.
Keepers of the Rift is definitely a browser MMO that will appeal to players who have enjoyed Korean and/or Japanese MMOs in the past. It's fun and is an absolute eye-candy to look at. Do give it a try!
