Oh, My
Downloaded this game a couple of days ago, and I must say, it's seriously awesome.
The basis of the game is that there are 3 different races to choose from. All of them have different classes to choose from, each with it's own special attack.
Pirates have access to guns and more un-conventional fighting methods (Like lighting a keg of gunpowder or sending out a parrot to attack) while lacking in physical hand-to-hand combat. They have 2 "Classes". A skirmisher who is the fastest moving character in the game who can harass enemies with pop-shots from their Flintlocks and throw kegs of gun-powder which explode. Their special attack is a leaping-forward thrust with their cutlass. Pirate captains are the other class, who has a shotgun-like blunderbuss weapon, a parrot who he can send to attack enemies, and above-average health. Their special attack is a Cannon-ball shot from their blunderbuss.
Vikings are the opposite with hard-hitting, fast, yet low-health fighters. At the same time they have 2 method of ranged attacks (which suck). They are the only team that has 3 classes. The Berserker is the prime attacking force of vikings, who rush into battle with either a 2-handed axe, or a sword and axe is each hand. Their special ability is RAGE, they gain increased strength, speed, and health. The Huscarl is a moderately armored, more defensive class then the Berserker. A Huscarl attacks with the same 2-handed axe, a sword & shield combo, and Throwing axes. Their special ability is a shield charge. The Gestir is the final class, who attacks primarily with a spear. The can also use a shield and Langseax (Basically a short-sword) and javelins. Their special attack is a charge with their spear (similar to the Huscarl's).
Knights are the basic bread & butter attacking force. With heavily-armored knights and long ranged archers. The knight has the most endurance in game , and can deal almost the same damage. The attack with a 2-handed sword, and a sword & shield combo. Their special ability is a 360* turn with the longsword. The archer is the longest ranged class in game. The attack with a short sword (only when necessary), Longbow, and Crossbow. Their special ability is a 3-arrowed shot with their bows.
The best part of this game is that it's absolutely free, and very quick to install. Sure, at times it seems like that some classes could be overpowered (fuck berserkers) but it's extremely fun to play.
