The Legend of Ares is a free 3D, MMORPG game developed by MGame USA Inc. It is currently in Open Beta. Like most 3D MMORPGs, it is a point and click game, where players can attack monsters, pick up items, and talk to NPCs.

The game contains two nations which a player can choose to join, Holy Empire and Religious Alliance; four classes, Knight, Spearman, Archer and Sorcerer. To become a stronger character, the player must kill monsters for EXP (experience points) to level up. As a player advances in levels, it is possible to pick fights, not only with monsters, but with players of either country.

Players can form guilds which allow for more social interaction, other people to quest with, and the addition of a cape and guild tag. They can also engage in guild wars, involving two guilds fighting each other. Upon reaching level 40, players can take part in scheduled territorial wars, and fight against members of the opposing nation.

[edit] Story

Ares, Greek god of war, has become resentful of his fellow gods, and wishes to gain more power in order to defeat them. However, the Greek city-states are already warring, and Ares must find new lands in which war can be started. At the same time, the land of Arabic is at a restless peace, with the leaders of both The Holy Empire, and The Religious Alliance ready to break it. Ares travels to Arabic, appearing to Emperor Damion of The Holy Empire as a crow, and incites him to attack the Alliance. Athena, Ares' sister, gains knowledge of this plan, and also travels to Arabic, and informs the native god Kulam of the foreign gods intrusion. Under her guidance, Kulam convinces Aleria, the daughter of Alliance leader Abner, to retrieve an artifact that could confine Ares and prevent him from completing his plan.
