Perfect World

A free multiplayer role-playing game, sometimes referred to as the "Chinese version of World of Warcraft." It offers a large open world, many unique races, as well as rich PvP opportunities and team interactions with other users. The project was launched in China in 2006, and the Russian version of Perfect World has been operating since 2009.

According to ancient legends, Pangu, a being of immense power, emerged from the eternal Chaos and split the sky and the earth. At some point, it grew tired of eternal life, so it divided itself into gods and ordinary mortals. The strongest souls created the heavenly kingdom and settled there.

There are six main races in the world of Perfect World — humans, amphibians, shapeshifters, sidhe, shadows, and ancients. Each has its own role in the game world and unique features. Moreover, they are divided into classes. The choice between them directly affects gameplay and your tactics during battles.

For example, shapeshifters can be werewolves that transform into terrifying monsters, or druids with the ability to summon beasts as allies. Among the sidhe, there are warrior paladins, archers, and mages, while humans are skilled in melee weapons. However, one can choose a human sorcerer who attacks enemies with devastating spells, or a girl armed with firearms. Those who enjoy the "glass cannon" tactic with weak defense but high damage should consider choosing a ghost. Players who prefer to assist allies should pay attention to the amphibian shaman.

The gameplay can be described as classic for the MMORPG genre, but with nuances. In addition to completing quests alone or with other players, there is unlimited flight and battles in the air, and you can move not only on land but also on water. A lot of attention is given to crafting, as creating valuable items requires developing specific skills, as well as searching for resources and blueprints.

If desired, you can join guilds, which opens up additional opportunities. Besides team battles, there are modes reminiscent of classic battle royale, where only one squad must survive. There are also cooperative PvE activities against computer opponents, as well as peaceful functions, such as building your own house or getting married. For lovers, special animations are provided, allowing you to pick up the beauty and kiss her.

As you gain new levels, additional content becomes available. For example, if you achieve demigod status, you will be able to participate in special activities reminiscent of dungeon clearing with the strongest monsters. At level 80, you will be allowed into the Kingdom of Adventures, the local amusement park.

When you join a guild, the opportunity to participate in battles for sectors will arise. They bring huge profits, much greater than completing quests and defeating monsters. That is why the main confrontation between factions is over land. The map is indeed large, and specific areas of territory constantly change hands.

In Perfect World, you do not need to spend money on a paid subscription. However, there are paid features in the game. For example, you can purchase the local premium currency, which is used to buy items in the Treasure Shop. Among them are the most powerful weapons, amulets that automatically restore mana or health when they fall below a certain level, as well as resources for crafting. They can ease the gameplay and help avoid long grinding. You can also buy various cosmetic items, mounts, and the ability to unlock teleports in all cities.
