Purge Online

Purge Online.

"Purge" is a Free to Play persistent, multiplayer online, FPS/RPG hybrid powered by a highly modified Lithtech Talon technology. Purge was designed to perform well on the average computer of the day. Any modern PC today should be able to play Purge.

The premise of Purge is a war between humans who have embraced high technology (the Order), and humans who have shunned it in favor of magic and mysticism (the Chosen). There are four classes for each side: androids, cyborgs, commandos and wastelanders on the Order and mages, fighters, assassins, and monks opposing them on the Chosen. Each player class has seven different attributes, and while the game includes four preloaded settings for each of the eight classes, it is also possible to manually tweak the attributes to customize each class as you see fit. Additionally, each class has four different weapons and three special skills it can use in combat.

Doing some simple arithmetic, we see that Purge has 32 different subclasses, 24 skills, and 32 weapons, which seems like a lot of variety on the surface. Unfortunately, as you play the game, you'll find that the four main classes on each side are more or less analogues of one another. Eight of the 12 skills on each side have mirrored equivalents on the other side, further cutting into the variety. Even many of the weapons are extremely similar when compared across sides. For instance, the assassin's vorpal crossbow and fire trap really aren't any different from the commando's gauss sniper rifle and proximity mine. The end result of all this duplication is that both the Order and the Chosen play about the same, despite their cosmetic differences.
