Review: Browser Game Sherwood Dungeon

Character customization in this game is very basic and you won’t find many options to choose from. There are a total of six basic characters to chose from including knights and a skeleton. You can change your character anytime you want and select a team color that you can use for PVP areas. There are no options to choose from such as skills or attributes, you are left with a very basic carbon copy character which is one of the weak areas of this MMORPG. You can move you character around with the arrow keys, attack with ctrl, and do a block with a combination of ctrl, and shift. As you gain levels a few new combat moves become available to you, like kicks. This sort of customization is great if you just want to begin playing but you will be very disappointed if you like deep MMORPG customization options. You can equip your character with weapons, shields, and armor as long as you are at the level to use it. There are rings that provide bonuses and some healing potions you can use as well.

Once you create your character you will begin the game outside the castle area in a forest and almost immediately be attacked by the NPCs there. This can be quite frustrating as a new player because you are not used to the controls yet. You will receive a few items from these NPCs and some experience. The world around you looks quite nice for a browser game but it doesn’t have much variety to it and it becomes dull rather quickly. There are no areas to explore besides the forest, castle, dungeon, and a few PVP areas in the game.

The castle is the next area you will go to where you will find some NPC characters you can talk to. The castle guard will tell you about the game and controls. You will find maid Marian who will dispense quests to you and a NPC trader where you can buy good and sell your loot to. There are the only NPCs you will encounter in the game. At higher levels you will enter other areas such as Frostbite Island but will find the same two basic NPCs just with different names and outfits.
