Today, I'd like to bring everyone's attention to Realm of the Mad God. It recently popped up over at Tigsource and Indiegames.com's blog. All it is, is a simple 2d rpg, but for some reason is insanely addictive. There's 5 different classes to choose from at the outset, each one starting with different stats and equipment, a character name slot, then you enter the world. Right now, the game is fairly early into its development, but the simplistic gameplay has me sitting in front of it for an hour when I only mean to play for 10 minutes.
Instead of stopping with just creating a fun, browser based rpg, it looks like anyone that's playing the game online is playing together, which means you can be stumbling through the world, constantly dying, then eventually spawn near a few other players, which usually encourages them all to stick together, making things a bit easier for all people involved. Unfortunately, since there's no map or loot-sharing, things can get a bit confusing (especially if you're looking for a certain person), but there is a chat feature that allows you to talk to all other players in game. As of right now, since it's online only, it can be hard to get into the game at certain times, but check back now and then when you've got the time. This is definitely something to keep your eye on and try out if you've got nothing else to do, since its a pretty tiny download, even for a browser-based title.
