Reign Of Guilds is a brand new medieval MMORPG that’s just came to Steam Early Access, This game features a primarily first person perspective with an optional third person mode, melee and ranged combat as well as a unique take on casting magic spells with a timing system for more damage.
Aside from that the game features an open world, castle sieges, open world PVP as well as a focus on crafting and economy.
Reign of guilds so far seems like it’s trying to appeal to fans of MMOs such as Mortal Online 2, Darkfall, Gloria Victis and Wurm Online, The game is buy to play and designed as a classic MMORPG where you’ll need to figure out everything for yourself, honestly I could just copy and paste the description for Mortal Online 2 onto this game and you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
What do you think about the new MMORPG Reign Of Guilds? is this a hardcore medieval MMO that you think has a promising future or is it too similar to Mortal Online 2? let me know in the comments below!

-Reign Of Guilds MMO Steam Description-
In Reign of Guilds, one doesn't need to survive, build cabins, or cultivate cabbage. Here, nobody values blisters from a pickaxe or a shovel, but what considered as value are interaction skills with other players, be it either combat or diplomacy, trade or craft.
Some Guilds will go toe-to-toe in deadly battles for the lands, castles, titles, and the throne, while others will win over craft and trade markets without any bloodshed and position themselves on the same level with Counts and the King.
The King, Counts, associations, the Royal Bank, taxes, commissions, expenditure on lands and maintenance of auctions? Let's get this sorted out.
Dynamic combat system from the first person view with full non-target, enabled friendly fire, and a unique system of magical buffs.
A new look at “old” rules and a minimal amount of restrictions.
PvP and PvE only in the open-world.
Loss of experience and drop of items when killed, depending on the karma of the character.
The character development is possible via any of the three ways in any combinations: PvE / Craft / PvP.
B2P monetization.
There are more than 60 castles of different levels on the Eastern and Western continents. Almost every Castle plays a role in capturing of power in the Counties.
The Guilds’ Heads can receive the title of Count. A Count gets the right to receive trading and land taxes from all the players on his territory, but he bears the expenses for maintenance of his possessions.
The Counts will fight for the Royal Throne. The King not only rules over his County and the Royal trade, but he sets the Royal Tax for the Counts by taking some part of taxes collected by them.
The mining and processing of the resources are given in the hands of NPCs, but the Count must maintain the corresponding industries for that.
All players have to do is to collect the resources and transport them to economically advantageous places for processing..
Under the condition of the open-world PvP, only organized groups will be able to ensure effective and secure transportation of the resources.
Collected taxes of all levels must also be transported from the main castles to the branches of the Royal Bank.
The multi-level craft system. Up to 27 thousand of variations of characteristics for a single item. The wear and tear gradually cause items to lose their characteristics.
There are associations of Traders, Craftsmen, and Mercenaries in each County. Each Association has its own auction which is ruled by its Head Guild. Not only it sets the number of commissions, but also it is able to completely block the access to the auction by Guilds, Counts, and the King.
Unique dynamic balancing mechanics of venders which regulates the trade with NPCs and works based on the principle of the law of demand and supply.

Making Asmon proud ayy
my favorite part about starforge is paying 5k for 2k worth of computer, i love giving my money to millionaires that steal content for a living!
FYI. Gloria victis is closed forever. They ran out of money.
u might want to check out Diablo 4's season 4
"How to collect wood..I need to know how to collect wood..as we're walking through a forest...full of trees..that you can't chop down" Sums it up
theyre lootables you find them on the ground at the wood place lol
And he forgot to mention that he had an axe
Hey, one of the devs(and a long time fan) here
Thanks for covering our game, despite the overall negative experience that you did have.
I would not argue with your critique, most of the points you did make come either from a quality actually not being there or just poorly communicated stuff.
I would only mention couple of things: this is an indie game made by a very small team with no publisher or external funding. We released it with just having 5 developers in the team. Even smaller scale MMOs like the mentioned MO2 had 30+ team members during its' development. So I'm not sure that we truly represent the market and the overall genre getting worse :)
The project is far from finished, but during playtests and EA we garnered a small and dedicated community thanks to which we can upscale the team and continue developing the game. In 40 days since EA start we already made 6 patches fixing/changing a lot of stuff eachm and we are not going to slow down. I hope we will be able to impress you with our progress in several months.
And if you ever feel that influencing an MMO game's design or development process is fun for you I can make that happen. We are truly indie, so it's really easy for us, no corporate entities getting in a way.
Appreciate your comment - and wishing you and your team good luck in your work. 👍👍
I like the dude but i feel like he was a lil harsh, just keep at it
look, the game is just not really good. The team still released it for money. Early Access means today, we don't want to finish this project so please pay money for us and if the game is bad , we're going to tell you that the game is in EA. It's always the same story. We don't have to protect indie game devs. If you release an unfinished and bad game for money, then take the critiques for it and stop saying "but it's an early acces game".
@@GrimDim that entire game can be put together with unreal engine assets alone
How about not releasing the game in this state them? ffs, being an Indie developer doesn't mean you're save from being rightfully bashed.
honestly this feeling ur having is the same feeling all mmo players have, the frustration of not finding a good game is incredible
The golden age of MMOs is never going to come back. Might as well just give up on the genre.
@@user-lz5vh9bb5w Ashes of Creation.
@@user-lz5vh9bb5w I'm still waiting for the age of indie MMOs.
Just like the age of flash game, a large gap of not so much in between, and then now the modern indie games on steam.
At some point, easier asset & content creation + coding thanks to AI would push another wave of large scale indie games, mostly likely similar to the early days of stupid Unity games.
And then people get better at it like what we see now.
you can play wow, ff14, guild wars 2 or OSRS. If you dont think any of these are good then idk what to tell ya and you should just give up on the MMO genre and move on to something else
@@nonanimeprofilepic All of those are old games.
Yes they're awesome, but they're old.
There's nothing new coming out that's of good quality, the genre is basically dead when taking quality into account.
I really liked the moment when you went into the tavern tavern and killed killed the boar boar. Quality game for sure.
Dude. This genre is in shambles rn
Always has been
@@HyenDryNot really - MMOs used to be a top genre and now they're not. A lot of the features that people like have been imported into other genres.
@@Loyal_Lion it was a meme comment but thanks for that
WoW is the only MMO that's alive, and it's on its way out. For real this time. People are starting to realize that grinding for months on end just to not be in the dust isn't really that fun.
@@Resi1ience well I’d say wow and FFXIV, but ok. Rest is basically just F2P trash. Even GW2 is content starved like crazy and full of F2P bs
But I agree with your sentiment tho. The whole gameplay loop of most MMOs are out of date like crazy. There’s just way too much grinding and the gameplay mechanics are just too obscure for people outside the genre.
MMOs need to be more like say Nintendo games and not gatekept by tryhards if they want success(not every game have to be that but the majority). You shouldn’t have to watch an effin 2 hour guide to not do 1/5th of your potential DPS and shit like that
Thank you for saving me $35
I like how the older he gets, the more i see the *i'm not gonna deal with this* attitude xD, love it
Especially for a generation of gamers that grew up on the cream of the genre, seeing it like this is...pain
Lazy peon is Gordan Ramsey of mmorpgs
Id like to think Josh strife hayes is pretty harsh too lol
@@jedbowley7126JSH, Kira, and LazyPeon
Except Peon hasn't made a career of complaining like JSH and Kira. Kira is the worst, he's the definition of "complain porn."
@mercster They all review, and some go deep into one section or another. Kira and JSH go deep into some of the stuff they have issues with while TLP mostly is at the surface level of a game.
@@FeneFeline When's the last time Kira made a video saying "Wow this is a great game!" Go look at his channel, it's 100% negativity. Negativity always sells, because it makes people feel discerning and "cool." ROFL, his default thumbnail pose is him holding his head as if he has a headache. 😂
Makes me wonder how different this review would've been if the devs sponsored it
"Aww look, they've got a vendor selling cosmetics. Neat!"
"This tutorial island is YUGE."
"I respawned at the graveyard with all my stuff. Nice!
I'm straight. But I glanced down to Peon as he was talking and was like "dang...he's looking good." Congratz man!
I'm still trying to find a worthy successor to Dark Ages of Camelot. Perfect game. Great PvE. Great open world PvP that wasn't forced, but was so fun you wanted to participate. Storming castles was awesome.
Same but it doesn't exist and mark Jacob's scammed the fanbase with unchained.
So much this.
RoG has some DAoC refugees actually
@@gregscorner8996 RoG has forced open-world PVP.
@@ceerius3910 Sadly, I think this as well. The game looks outdated at this point and its still no where near release.
your spot on about the game, i would also ignore any devs in your comments. they flamed you HARD and Nasty in their discord for days when you put this out. but then acted friendly to you here lol
getting some pathetic Bethesda Starfield loser dev vibe here
I’m sure you get this a lot and I hate to be one of those guys but I haven’t seen one of your videos for a very long time and goddamn, you’ve lost a lot of weight and gained a lot of muscle! I’m so proud yet also very jealous of you! Regarding the game, I don’t think I’m ever going to touch any MMOs ever again at least until Star Citizen officially comes out. Much love, LazyPeon!
I absolutely love your video commentary bro!
yo, hope you are doin good mate. Just wondering what the status on "Life Is An MMORPG" pt.2 and pt.3 looks like (since the last one was 2 yrs ago). Are we going to get an update to that?
thank you for making a commercial for MO2 !!! We need more players!
The guys that made the game are watching this and tearing each other apart like, "I told you that was not a good idea Steve!"
If it's tryna appeal to hardcore pvp mmo fans. it's not gonna get more than 5-10k people playing ever lol.
As always with these western MMOs
@@abdelrahmanrad not just western MMOs. eastern ones too.
Western ppl sure does love war
More like 1k, sad cuz I’d love a good pvp mmo but if it’s just hardcore and nothing else it’s guaranteed to be toxic
More like trying to appeal to time travelers from 2005 with those graphics.
I loved the Pros and Cons part 😂
😂😂😂
Much respect Peon, for taking one for the team with this one...
swimming is super easy to code, add a box detector, if the detector is immersed in water, then player_state = "swimming" .... you can also add multiple detectors like one for the head and one for the chest to cheep how deep inside the water you are .
It's nice and all that the dev was polite, acknowledged the flaws, and strived to be better. But at the end of the day, being indie and proud of being a small team really does not do anything for a player. The end product is unsatisfactory and lacks resources to make an MMO. For most people, there simply is not any logical reason to play this game.
sick lighting!
actually, aren't combat / magic lvl displayed on the bottom of the screen, below your action bars?
How the hell does this game have mostly positive reviews on Steam? They've got to be paying people to leave a positive review lmao.
not doing that, and to be fair it has mixed reviews
For recent reviews, it is positive. But for overall reviews, it is mixed. That is what I see on my screen at least.
@@gregscorner8996 I meant the recent reviews, and how do you know that for a fact? lol
@@Kroeckinator i'm a dev
Because major studios set the bar so low that a dev willing to talk to players, listen to the feedback, and implement improvements based off that feedback, will get you good reviews, because the player base feels like they can make it into what they want.
Thank you for taking the hit for us on this one.
200 hours into the game. Amazing music and graphics. My game of the year personally...
i really appreciate your videos! i dont play mmo's anymore but your videos always give me much entertainement in my day!
Honestly, I feel like you've questioned not releasing a few videos now because of how trash the game was, but I love it. It's a good "don't waste your money" tip, and hilarious how you try to have fun with it but end up ripping it a part. I commend you for sticking with it, as I am sure it's equivalent to having certain parts of your job that you don't enjoy, but we do it anyways (partly because we have too :p lol). My favorite example was chimera land. I laughed hysterically.
Game is definitely EA but if you enjoy this type of MMO it is very promising. Devs have been very receptive to feedback and implementing patches quickly. Looking forward to seeing it develop.
How is it that when I looked upon the logo and first frames of the video I could predict that it would be sitting in the mixed reviews?
This might be the most harsh review I've ever seen him give.
His only PRO was "literally nothing". His only CON was "literally everything". I can't imagine that he's ever done a more negative review. So, no "might be" about it, this is it!
He was harsh for sure, but i think he was just directly comparing wild unripe apples and... wild ripe apples. I am not interested in this type of MMOs, but why play this undercooked *MMO* in EA when you can actually play Mortal Online 2 as your really niche hardcore PvP MMO.
@@hottosandsos9612 mortal is a sub service to play this is not and devs are putting in work they deff released way to early with it though
Peon strikes again with another banger vid! thanks
I feel he’s too harsh it looks fun. Doesn’t stand out to me as being worse than other games he’s been a lot easier on.
the game is honestly a lot better than he makes it look here. Imo it might be a little too expensive. But again, I am having quite a decent amount of fun.
"Swimming is hard to code?" Everquest from 1998 had swimming...
Please try out Wuthering Waves! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the game.
I actually enjoy the realistic world and environment. HOWEVER, the reason why it looks bad, is because the lighting is absolutely terrible. Yeah. How did this game get beyond the rapid prototyping phase lol
I feel like this was way too critical for a MMO from a small indie team IMO. It seemed it was entirely focused on pointing out everything wrong with it and had a very negative overall tone. It looks like a great start, why not also point out the solid effort in creating something like this?
great video, good luck to the game
Best pros/cons list ever, was worth making the video just for that...i got a good laugh out of it.
Looks fucking awesome, I love hating my choices. Just bought, downloading it now
I like the slow movements. Seems to get rid of people running around in circles bunny hopping. Death physics look okay. If only they had exanima like combat.
Thanks for jumping on that grenade for us... we appreciate ya
Inability to strafe while sprinting is common in many games that have a sprint mechanic, it's not odd at all.
makes sense too, from a reality and pvp balance perspective
But it feels terrible. No game should not have strafe sprinting...
@@Visher it only feels terrible to people who play unrealistic games, this is a game that’s focused on realism. Go sprint outside and try to strafe and tell me how it goes. If you want an unrealistic mmo go play wow
@@returnofthemac416 I can sure as hell run diagonally at near my straight line sprinting speed, lol.
Judging by this video, I wouldn't say this game is focused on realism...
@@Visherno you can’t, not even close. I’m an athlete and I can’t do that. You can not strafe while sprinting. Sprinting being the key word, not jogging.
And yes RoG has a lot more of a focus on realism than most MMOs. Do you you not see a difference between this and wow or ff14? Have you ever played a sandbox mmo?
4:03 bald Jesus
I actually really like what I see, lol. Needs a helluva lot more polish though.
Finally a non sponsored game
This is a good game once you figure it out.
The game made me instantly think of the quote "It looks like Gandhi's flip flop"
i love the level of sarcasm :D
Nothing better than dry British humour and sarcasm, a lot of the time people don't know if we're being sarcastic or not it's just our default 😂
It's crude but it's actually kind of good in a weird way. High potential to be clear, their foundation is not trash at least.
The fact that the dev left a comment is very positive, all start is hard but they came to the right guy,for a honest review
It's not like medievel dynasty is that much better, atleast they have a character creation whit minecraft combat :p
i hope life go's well,any sparring update? Crimson Desert next?
Don't be discouraged, it's only early access pre alpha. By the open beta in 7 years it will be way better and in 17 years on official release date it will actually be playable ^^. Ahhh no wait, they say full release in 12 to 16 months… well if they rename this game to Stickman Hitman…
the game doesnt tell you anything but it wouldnt hurt to open the options and look at the keybinds, and not charging for a monthly sub is a pro i guess?
Came for a game review stayed for the Pro's/Con's, and was not disappointed.
Play City of Heroes (on Homecoming) Craig! ;)
I got excited, thinking there was a comeback of Guildwars
there's two bars below the hotkeys, one brown bar to the left, and one blue bar to the right. those are your "physical" and "magical" experience levels bars.
Yup, I had the same issue with 7 Days to Die recently, so when he mentioned the issue, that was the first place I looked. Realistically, if they want new players to be able to find them, they should put the bars above the hotbar rather than below.
3:28.
This is a good system with free loot gobal pvp games. Being smaller is an advantage that need mechanical balance.
Smaller hitbox, better stealth is op, if they don't give the bigger size the profits what they have in real life too.
Just look at Ark for example. There is no advantage of being large, so the pvp is gnome fights all around. Large people went extinct there :D
king we GOTTA get a new episode of Life as an MMO! it's been 2 years!
unreal engine comes with swimming as a default feature for the character, its pretty baffling how most games (made on unreal like this one) entirely ignore it as a movement mode lol
the game does not use the default UE movement component or even default UE animation skeleton. The swimming is doable, but with the scale of the team it is too much manhours that could be spent fixing other problem that the game has
Hey Craig, You still in Thailand? i miss the self improvment hype vlogs
I have no problem with hardcore PVP in a MMO but the focus shouldn't be on just that which is exactly what Mortal Online 2, Darkfall and now Reign of Guilds does, the games should be geared towards social features and role-playing.. The sandbox elements is to enhance the RP experience..
"Hardcore Full Loot PvP" MMOs I feel can be one of the biggest genres in gaming if they tweaked them to be focused on an experience with a small group of adventures instead of massive guilds.
@@kiticanax1421 tbf full loot pvp doesnt work in general, hell it bad in survival games, like ya there some who like it, but i bet, most dont for a few reasons.
@@rjc523 I think what could work is if you have pickpocketing and thievery in the game and you could snoop into another players backpack and steal something and then try to hide, but it would flag the player a criminal and I think criminal characters should be the ones that get "looted" if the game is FFA PVP.. It's kinda similar to how the zones are set up in Albion
as the name implies it is geared towards guild gameplay, everything is there to get ppl together and have a meaningful group experience
@@rjc523 DayZ full loot pvp is even more punishing than Mortal and is one of the most popular games out there. The issue with these games is the lack of polish, guild focus, and tedium of leveling up.
I mean, many of the things that peon is pointing out is litterally on the screen. And just by watching this video, i saw that while being in first person the crosshair indicates whatever an object is interactable, phys & magical level is on the screen below the hotbar.
Omg the Pros and Cons lmaoooo!
Hahaha, oh man, brutal!
TheLazyPeon makes progress
*Neuron activation*
My problem with Early Access and looooong Alphas/Betas is that the devs tend to hyper focus on their current audience, an audience with a focus that tends to shift as they (essentially) replay the same game over and over.
Then when the game finally comes out, the new-player experience ends up being flawed because the game has been tailored to the customers who have been replaying it in and out for months or years.
This often means a mediocre early-game experience, a huge skill-ceiling to 100% it, and maybe a few other shenanigans.
Still, those problems seem small when the alternative is that the game wouldn't exist at all.
That being said, if someone said that this game was 1.0 after years of early access I would believe it.
Lazy I FEEL you. I just feel so empty playing these game today..
Thanks for saving me time and money, yet again.
Looks good
A great example of why games used to be completed before they released, instead of assuming players will pay them to finish the product.
Baldy needs to play this
I have watched many of your vids and love your content. I hope you dont mind me saying but you did seem overly negative in this video. I get the game has a long way to go but you played Chimeraland and handled that infinitely more positively lol. The game seems like it could have some cool longterm potential given appropriate feedback and follow up by the devs. No hate, Love your content!
By the way, one of the devs accuses you of giving them a bad review because they didn’t pay you (BoBRO, who was the “dev” that commented on your video)
In their discord
you seem to have fun. Same as me when I first tried Mortal Online, I made a char, died 8 times, bought a book for all of my money, accidentally ripped every damn fucking paper from it and then uninstalled the game. Yeah, MMOs should held your hand at the start and during a quests you should atleast have some visible pointers.
lmao i looked at the fireball and there's an arrow in the spell
This games combat reminds me of bannerlord starter combat but instead of having a squad or a horse to help you you’re stuck fighting in melee 2v1 with no swing speed
Woah, Haven't watched Peon in ages, but the dude is looking slim or something plastic. Either way... totally different. awesome.
They already have multiple DLCs... $170 for everything after the 15% discount on each item.
Thanks for doing this, so I don't have to. I hope the next one is better for you. Cheers.
8:55 meanwhile Guild Wars 2
Mortal online 2 is an underappreciated gem 💎.
I'd play the shit out of it if I wasn't allergic to monthly subs
Mostly Negative Reviews, on steam, says otherwise :P
@@Schmorgus Read OP comment again :P
If it was a gem of any kind, it would have more than ~1000 players online per day and not be declining in population from there.
Riiiight, try returning to real life sometime
Shout out my boy Pilav, hope he's good haha
Love the brutally honest content.
I watched till the end because I needed your cynical humor and you always make me laugh. Of course you are always spot on with assessments. 😂
Us British are born cynical and sarcastic 😂
@@XxWolfxWaRioRxX Some of us in the US are right there with you. Especially now. 😂
Try City of Heroes Homecoming, is now a official server.
Should check out "Book of Travels"
Is Fntastic back in the business? :)
Wow, edgy comment. Just missing all the tired reddit buzzwords, and it might be the "best" post ever.
This game looks like it was made by an AI..
When people ask us why we play Mortal Online 2 despite the game's numerous issues...these are the types of games that are it's competition.
Yo Peon, are you gonna do a video on Sand? It's an mmorpg being developed by a Ukrainian company, and the concept is very similar to Last Oasis. would be great to hear your thoughts on the first preview and hopefully give it some exposure. Cheers 😄
good job Peon
3:24 lmfao
It's kind of fitting that Reign of Guilds has a broken sword in its logo. 😵
I love you LP 😂
Good NPCs like Kenshi is needed to jumpstart a new, refeshing MMO. Not braindead PvE, not "hardcore" PvP. Just a world that you genuinely want to be in and can have fun by yourself or with others. NPCs that actually participate and contribute in the world around you rather than just stand in their spawn zone waiting for you to kill them, or three bosses just sitting in a dungeon waiting for someone to defeat them.
this seems very much like a hobby where someone uses assets and coding packs and just kinda worked on it for a while a lot of ideas but lacks polish in any of them
Can you cover remnants 2 please
Try Age of Water, also an MMO that doesn't get much coverage. Has potential, but seems too hard and too grindy for me. But have a look!
