Pros
Pro Great game mechanics
From raising or lowering sails too maneuver faster and boarding ships with your crew, to transporting people from port to port and finding survivors out in the sea, this game packs a solid punch when it comes to various ways of doing the same thing. It adds logical complications to normal tasks, such as wind, and not being able to sail up against it. All in all, even if there is so much stuff to worry about, the experience is very enjoyable, and filled with surprises.
Pro Real world
Although the fastest way to get around is to use a 2d map, if you wish to do so, you can jump in a ship and sail to any location in 3d. The whole map is seamless, and contained in one scene. The game even encourages the players to do so by adding hidden docks at strategic locations, giving a sum of money to the player when the ports are found. And by putting ship wrecks with treasure island maps, wich can only be reached in open world.
Pro Completely open world
The main goal is definitely to battle ships, but you can do anything your heart desires from building farms and taverns in your ports, to attacking ports for a ransom, and rolling dice aggainst an AI for money.
Pro Good graphics
Although it does not have the best graphics out there, the game deffinetly looks nice compaired to many others, and is well optimised; wich means it can run on even budget devices.
Pro Play with friends on different operating systems
Instead of simply tweaking the game to work on mobile, in AdventureQuest 3D you can actually play with others on different operating systems - you can be on your phone, and your friend on a desktop computer while you both raid together.
Pro Flexible class sytem
There are 11 classes available - warrior, mage, rogue, pirate, necromancer, paladin, dragon slayer, ranger, ninja, berserker and guardian. You can swap between them at any time (as long as you are out of combat).
Pro Fun writing style
The first character you meet in the open beta is Zorbak who sortof looks like an evil mouse. Some of the first dialogue you see goes like this:
[Zorbak] POP Quiz! What's worse than a zombie eating your entire family?
[You] WHAT!? Nothing is worse than that...
[Zorbak] Oh yes there is! Tutorials! I Freaking hate tutorials!!! You know...the kind that force you to click the things for like the entire first hour of game play. Spits. But - good news! I found the guy responsible for making THOSE kind of tutorials...meh heh...
[You] You did?
[Zorbak] Yup. Found him, and pushed him right into that undead army's path.
[You] what!?
[Zorbak] I know. I know. No need for thanks.
Pro Lag-free graphics
The graphics are definitely not the best, however it allows people with lower end devices to play with a lag-free experience.
Pro Extremely Active Developers
AQ3D created by Artix has been in operation making games for almost 20 years, the AQ3D project whilst still in beta is being constantly developed and new updates are almost weekly.
Cons
Con Can get boring
Although there is allot to do in this game, once you have tried it all, and own the biggest ship, there is nothing very exiting left.
Con Poor interface
The inventory is a scroll-through list that covers half the screen and takes a very long time to sort through.
Con No endgame
Con This game is still in Beta
This section is irrelevant as game is no longer in beta and is much more polished and developed.
Con Mobile compatibility holds back the graphics
While the figures and settings look nice, it does look like a mobile game even when on PC. There are many, many games with significantly better graphics. Figures look slightly blocky, and color gradients aren't always smooth.
