Gamigo is Launching tons of new MMORPGs!

The German free to play MMO and MMORPG game publisher Gamigo has been on a roll lately. Their newest game King of Kings 3 launched on September 27 right after it finished closed beta testing. No second closed beta testing or open beta testing – straight to full release after closed beta. How awesome is that? For those of you who haven’t heard of King of Kings 3, it’s a 3D PvP MMORPG that plays a bit like Aika Online. PvP is definitely the game’s main focus as it has a really in depth tiered guild system and faction wars system. Like Mu Online and Silkroad Online – King of Kings 3 has a really high level cap too – something like 90+. Any game with a level cap higher than 80 is considered high in my book. Graphically though, King of Kings 3 isn’t anything special, but on the graphics department Gamigo has an awesome sci-fi theme MMO launching soon.

That awesome sci-fi themed MMORPG is Black Prophecy. It’s supposed to play a lot like Eve Online, except with a much stronger emphasis on action rather than just slow paced tactics. It’ll mop the floor with other space themed MMORPGs like Pirate Galaxy and Outer Galaxies – even though they’re browser games. Black Prophecy has some of the best graphics of any free to play MMORPG. Hopefully the music is good too, because MMORPG music is really important in my opinion – as it helps set the mood. I think games like Ragnarok Online, Sword 2 and S4 League are remembered so fondly, because of their excellent musical scores. Black Prophecy is currently in closed beta though, so I haven’t had a chance to play it. The MMO videos I’ve seen so far though make it looks really epic.

Another upcoming MMORPG from Gamigo that look really neat is Loong: The Power of the Dragon – a 3D Fantasy themed action MMORPG set in Ancient China. Graphically – the game looks quite awesome, but graphics aren’t everything – I actually enjoyed playing Fantasy Earth Zero from GamePot USA and Zentia from ChangYou – even though they have less then great graphics. To be fair, Zentia has decent graphics. But Cabal Online and Diablo 2 are great MMORPGs even though they don’t have the best graphics. Unfortunately Loong: The Power of the Dragon has no set release date, and I fear it may be another 6 months before it actually releases.

Yet another upcoming MMO from Gamigo is War of Angels. The game looks awesome because players can purchase wings in the game which lets players fly around. I think the only games that support flying mounts / wings are Perfect World, Fly For Fun and Jade Dynasty. I’d like to see more games add flying mounts – but what I like about War of Angels is that the graphics are good, but not so good that my computer can’t run it.

So what do you guys think about Gamigo? I think they publish some of the best MMORPGs out. The only thing they’re lacking is some browser MMOs in my opinion. Games like Caesary, War of Legends and Dark Orbit for example. If they had some browser MMOs they’d be one of the most varied publishers out.
