Dragon Raja Overview
Dragon Raja is a MMORPG that was based on novels by a South Korean Author, Lee Yeongdo. The full version of Dragon Raja is a pay to play game, although there is a free version available. The different between the pay to play and the free version is that the free version is missing about a fourth of the translations and experiences a few significant bugs. The gameplay is similar to games like Diablo II and Baldur’s Gate where the player creates a character and then explores a top down 2D/3D world in search of treasure. While the game can be free, the present bugs and now dated graphics make this game hard to recommend over Diablo II.
