Runes of Magic
First stage of Chapter III to bring three new mini-games, new guild quests and more.
News by GamesIndustry International Contributor Published on April 9, 2010Berlin, 9th April 2010 - For the third chapter of Runes of Magic, publisher Frogster has planned several new challenges for player guilds in addition to comprehensive content expansions. Three new mini games within the guild drill grounds, new guild quests and stone walls for guild castles are being prepared for the multi-staged release of “Chapter III – The Elder Kingdoms”. The new guild features will go live with the next patch in April including the new in-game monster card system. Further content of the first stage of Chapter 3 like the first region of the new continent “Zandorya”, the “Thunderhoof Hills” and the kingdom of “Dalanis”, with its impressive new cities and many new quests will follow soon.
Three new mini-games for guilds will be accessible in the first stage of the rollout of Chapter III through a new upgrade of the guild drill grounds in the guild castles. Players will be able to enter the new mini-game “Trial of the Spirit Warrior” by talking to the NPC Special Training Manager. On this drill ground, they will have 15 minutes to defeat as many monsters as possible . Any player who manages to survive two waves of monster attacks, will face several strong boss opponents. When starting the mini game, players can use one of three stances equipped with different special skills. A sword will enhance physical attacks, a shield reinforces physical and magic resistance and a staff facilitates magical attacks. As a reward for successfully completing the “Trial of the Spirit Warrior”, players will receive honor points that can be exchanged for valuable armor pieces with special NPCs in the Obsidian Stronghold.
The mini-game “Needle Drill” sends players on a square course of 25 fields. Using a random system, steel prickles puncture the ground and relentlessly drain health points from the player. The more needles the player avoids, the more honor points he will collect. After successfully completing the third stage of this drill ground, bonus sigils randomly appear on the floor that can be picked up by skilled players. The sigil “Drill Reward” grants them additional honor points. “Divine Protection Reward” lends players a shield to use against further pin-pricks, the “Healing Reward” allows players to regain health points and the “Godspeed Reward” provides them with an extra speed buff.
In the third new mini-game “Call of the Horns” players enter a battle between two NPC factions, the indulgent “Whitefurs” and the evil but stronger “Blackhorns”. After choosing a side, a fierce skirmish will occur, in which the goal will be to destroy the enemy’s flag within 10 minutes.
Besides the three new mini-games Runewaker has added six new guild quests in the first stage of Runes of Magic Chapter III – The Elder Kingdoms. Like the previous six guild quests, players will receive the new missions through the ”Guild Quest Bulletin Board“ in their guild castle. They can choose to do the guild quests alone or in groups, but are limited to complete one guild quest per day. Rubies, crystals and special Guild Quest Packages will reward successful players.
A new upgrade for the guild castles will also be available with release of the first patch of Runes of Magic Chapter III – The Elder Kingdoms. Guilds will be able to enhance the wooden palisades of their strongholds to stone walls, which do not only look much more impressive, but will receive attributes in the course of Chapter III that grant them a better protection and stability for the guild wars between guild castles.

What Runes of Magic offers is a huge variety of quests. Sometimes you will encounter a short mission where a non-playable character will simply ask you to deliver a message to a person on the other side of town or sometimes NPCs will ask you to take down multiple monsters in a distant cave. This variance in quest length breaks up the monotony of doing the same things over and over again. However, players looking for innovative or meaningful story-driven quests all of the time might want to look elsewhere as the quests in Runes of Magic aren't always intricate and are, for the most part, pretty light-hearted. One NPC had me killing 10 beetles so that I could use their eyes to make delicious soup; "a delicacy," he called it.

Reviews for "Embark on Special Events and Limited-Time Quests in Runes of Magic Mobile"
1. Sara - 1/5 stars
I was really disappointed with Runes of Magic for handheld devices. The graphics were extremely pixelated and blurry, making it difficult to even see what was happening on the screen. The controls were also very clunky and unresponsive, making it frustrating to try and navigate through the game. Additionally, the game constantly crashed and froze, making it impossible to play for more than a few minutes at a time. Overall, I would not recommend Runes of Magic for handheld devices at all.
2. John - 2/5 stars
I had high hopes for Runes of Magic for handheld devices, but unfortunately, it fell short in many areas. The gameplay itself was lackluster and repetitive, with little variation or excitement. The in-app purchases were also pushed heavily throughout the game, constantly reminding me that I needed to spend money to progress or enhance my character. The overall user interface was confusing and not intuitive, making it difficult to navigate through menus and options. While the concept of bringing Runes of Magic to handheld devices was promising, the execution of this game was underwhelming.
3. Emily - 2/5 stars
As a fan of the original Runes of Magic game, I was excited to try it on my handheld device. However, I was disappointed with the adaptation. The game felt watered down and simplified, losing the complexity and depth that made the original version enjoyable. The controls were also difficult to get used to, with the touch screen not responding accurately to my taps and swipes. Additionally, there were frequent server issues and connection problems, resulting in constant disconnections and lag. Overall, I would have much preferred to play the original Runes of Magic rather than this handheld version.
