This new iteration – Archlord 2 — is set in the same setting as the previous version but in an alternate universe, sort of. I wouldn’t worry so much about it because all of the lore and imagery of the game is really just a wrap around a series of button-pushing mechanics that only become half-fun once the player has spent hours and hours grinding bad, level-based quest after another (trust me, you won’t even look at what the quests say, they are that repetitive.)
