Vanguard: Saga of Heroes Review

Ten Ton Hammer has taken another look at Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, now that SOE’s fantasy MMORPG has been online for seven months. The game is still only able to bring home a 6.7/10, however:

If you dropped Vanguard early on due to performance issues and instability, or if you’ve never tried Vanguard before and your curiosity is getting the better of you, wait until SOE introduces Vanguard’s free Trial Island (just follow the trail left by SOE’s marketing campaign). The Trial Island should help SOE introduce even more optimizations and fixes in the live game, plus improve their developer’s toolbox. I say give the game a shot. It may not prove to be the game for you, but you’ve got nothing to lose, and you may just find that you’re one of those niche players, like me, who love this game despite itself.
