Drakensang Online: Browser-Based Gaming Upgraded

Whenever anyone mentions browser-based gaming, a lot of opinions go running through my mind, with very few of those being positive. Call me cynical, but the only time I've ever sought out a good browser-based game was when I was in University and I needed something small to run while I pretended to take notes in lectures. These days, when I'm in the comfort of my own home, the lure of high-power gaming on my trusty ol' desktop usually takes precedence, and whenever I find myself traveling, a Nintendo DS and a good book are pretty much all I need. I am, however, the kind of guy who loves to be proven wrong so, with Bigpoint's browser-based, free-to-play MMORPG Drakensang Online entering open beta, I decided that now was as good a time as any to see if browser gaming might have something to offer after University.

Drakensang Online Enters Open Beta

Drakensang Online, Bigpoint's latest free-to-play browser game, has entered open beta! All players are now able to try out this action RPG and take control of two classes, the fearless Dragonknight and the magical Spellweaver, and wage a brutal war against the terrifying dragons and savage monsters of the Anderworld.

You currently can't have multiple characters on one account, although that may change. However, keep that in mind when you're choosing between making a Dragonknight and Spellweaver. Also, two more classes are in the works.

If you'd like to try out the game, head over to the Drakensang Online site and create an account. Since it's a browser game, you'll be up and running in a few minutes. You can see the game's impressive graphics in the trailer below, or check out the screenshots in our gallery.
