Gaming Mom

For all of you fans of the text based MMO’s, well a baby has been born in the gaming world, just barely 2 months old this text based MMO is surprisingly a breath of fresh air!

Alex Priebe aka Nightmare in game created this MMO on a whim. Do we think it will make him rich, no, but for a lover of the text based MMOs, I think its a nice breath of fresh gaming air.  Similar to Kings of Chaos and Ruins of Chaos, Alex’s MMO, The Shadow Wars, gives us a bigger variety of races and bonuses for those races, but he adds a bit more still by making certain races have enemies, which will effect them differently in combat.

Each color is the enemy of another color (like a 5 way Rock-Paper-Scissors). See the arrows on the picture above? Whichever color your chosen color points towards is your enemy, and you get an extra 10% bonus to your damage whenever you’re in combat against that color.

The game is eye appealing, no harsh contrast, so for the die hard text based MMO gamer, yes you can sit and wait for the next turn.  Speaking of turns, well you wont get a rash of people taking your gold, being you get attack turns every 4 hours, and like a lot of these text based games, there is no clicking needed to up your army, this game is pure UP. Another feature I do like is your TBG (turn based gold) comes every 10 minutes, so growth isnt something you have to wait for.  Sure there is room for growth and expantion, but for something born 2 months ago, I think Alex is on the right track.

In my opinion for a game that was seemingly thrown together, it has the desire and the possibility to be something bigger then it is now. If you, like me enjoy the relaxing pace sometimes of a text based MMo, then show some support for a guy and his baby and join TSW.
