Sword of the New World (http://swordofthenewworld.gamersfirst.com/index.php)
Sword of the New World (Thus forth known as SNW) is an epic game. 'Nuff said.
No, really. It's epic. But why? It's got amazing graphics. Srsly. For a free-to-play game, it has the best graphics I've seen. And that's another thing: It's free-to-play. Basically, though, it's a mixture of an RPG and an RTS. It's an RPG in the way that you control a character, level them, add skills, all those elements. But here's where the RTS comes in: You control three characters all at once. Oh, lawdie, that must be confusing! Not really. Each character has it's own toolbar (Char 1 = Q-I, Char 2 = A-K, Char 3 = Z=,). But there's no turn-based things in the game: Combat plays just like an RPG. Really the only way it plays like an RTS is the fact that you control multiple characters at once and your viewpoint (Birdseye FTW?!). Although the game IS 3.6 GBs, it's definitely worth it. Oh, and another great thing: Auto-Attack. If you put a Scout with no weapons in your party you can just sit in one spot, put on Auto-Attack and watch as your guys kill anything that comes near them while your Scout heals. So ergo: You can get exp. without being at the computer.
