Despite being in Early Access for many months, Legends of Aria remains a somewhat rough MMORPG that isn't suited for players who like theme-park MMOs. It's tough, you're likely to feel lost during the opening hours, and combat feels a bit stiff, but there's an old-school vibe to it that some players may effectively enjoy.

You can check the Legends of Aria official website for more info, or go straight to the Steam page to follow the game and get prepped for the free-to-play release.
