We have yet to see a major MMORPG successfully developed using the Unity game engine. This raises some concerns about whether it’ll be able to provide a smooth gameplay experience in Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen. Or perhaps Visionary Realms is just ahead of their time? This deserves a closer look...
Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen has some of the deepest lore in the MMORPG genre. If you want to just play without really knowing much about the lore, you can still do that.
