Lost Ark is an online action RPG in the free-to-play model, similar in general to other popular games of the genre, such as Path of Exile, Diablo or Torchlight. The game was created by the large Korean studio Tripod and was originally prepared for the Asian market, but over time it was decided to make it also available in the West in an English-language version.

Plot

The game featured a full-fledged campaign with extensive missions, interactive dialogues with NPCs and cutscenes. The story is set in an epic fantasy world. Centuries ago it was protected from the forces of evil thanks to the eponymous magical artifact - the Ark. Centuries after those events, the Ark became only the subject of stories and legends, and people stopped believing in its existence. The players' goal in the campaign is to find it before Kazeroth - the leader of the demonic legions, who wants to use it to take over the world.

IGN: 8 / 10 by Gabriel Moss

With an outstanding variety of places to visit and a strong combat system, Lost Ark is an extremely generous free-to-play action-RPG-MMO that draws a lot from Diablo – including its well-worn story about humans and Heaven teaming up against demons.

Full Review

GamesBeat: 4 / 5 by Jason McMaster

Lost Ark, at the end of the day, is a very good ARPG with MMO mechanics. The way the game funnels you through the initial content is like an amusement park ride with side quests. After that ride, though, you get dumped out at this giant, unexpected playground full of stuff to do. If sailing around the map, hunting giant monsters, and chasing upgrades sounds like a good time, then this might be the game for you.

Full Review

Tom's Guide: 3.5 / 5 by Jordan Palmer

Lost Ark is a Korean MMO action RPG, in the vein of Diablo or Path of Exile. It features a beautiful world and engaging gameplay, but it's held back by clunky animations, mediocre voice acting and an unoriginal story.
