Dragonfable

http://dragonfable.com/

I've gotten to level 8 and I've just reached Falconreach (basically, the main town), but I think I've gotten a good taste of it.

Now, the story. It's about a certain hero, born. That hero gets 'called' to save the Priestess and goes on quests to save her. Typical, overused story. But then again, Dragonfable isn't all that. It seems to parody the overused fantasy story with its puns, and of course, its atmosphere is always playful. "HERPADERPPUNS." In a good way, of course. Without its puns, Dragonfable (and most likely all of the other games the creators developed) would not be the same.

The graphics are extremely average. It's really nothing eye-catching, but it's not really downright horrible. Same for the animation, but I'm glad that they improved on the battle animations. Though I think it needs the 'different animations' thing again.

Again, the gameplay itself is pretty average. It's your usual point-and-click game; click where you want to go, click to attack, click to use a skill, click to use a potion, click to equip something... yup, I'm not seeing any keyboard action here. There's pretty much Player versus Monster/Environment and Player versus Player. PvE and PvP are pretty much the same compared to each other, except in PvE you have to take quests to get to the monsters. Or, if it's unclear, PvP is basically all in the battle system and no getting to the players.

Overall, 4/10. Its humor and atmosphere is worth taking a look here, though.
