Secret World Legends

free-to-play, with microtransactions (?)

Secret World Legends is a modernized version of the supernatural MMORPG set in a world where ancient myths, secret societies and modern conspiracies are all unexpectedly real. Players investigate strange locations, fight supernatural enemies and uncover mysteries while developing their characters through a flexible ability system. Unlike conventional fantasy MMORPGs, the setting draws heavily from contemporary horror and conspiracy fiction, making abandoned towns, mysterious organizations and unexplained phenomena feel perfectly at home alongside the action. Storytelling and investigation are important parts of the experience, giving the game a more unusual atmosphere than a standard sword-and-sorcery MMO. Secret World Legends is particularly appealing to players who enjoy their online role-playing with a side order of occult mysteries, strange monsters and the uncomfortable realization that the conspiracy theorists were apparently onto something.

“Secret World Legends plunges players into a shadowy war against the supernatural in an adventure that crosses our world with the realms of ancient myth and legend. As players traverse the globe unraveling complex investigations into the unknown, they’ll need to uncover clues and use their own wits as much as their characters’ abilities. Players can go at it alone and enjoy the over 100 hours of story at their own pace, or team up with others as they explore the world and unravel its mysteries.” - Funcom
