Granado Espada, also known as Sword of the New World, is a free-to-play MMORPG developed by IMC Games. It was first released in Korea in 2006 and has since gained a dedicated following of players who appreciate its unique blend of historical and fantastical elements.
The game is set in a fictionalized version of Europe during the age of exploration and colonialism, and features historical elements such as clothing, architecture, and technology, blended with fantastical elements such as magic, monsters, and supernatural elements. Players are encouraged to explore and discover hidden secrets and treasures, while interacting with other players in real-time.
One of the most unique features of Granado Espada is its family system, which allows players to create and manage a team of characters with their own set of skills and abilities. Players can switch between up to three active family members during gameplay, allowing for experimentation with different team compositions and strategies.
Despite being released over 15 years ago, Granado Espada is still alive and well today, with regular updates that add new characters, stances, areas, and scenario quests. The game was awarded the Korean Game Award for Best Graphics and Game of the Year in 2006, and has since been recognized as a classic in the MMORPG genre.
In addition to its PC version, a mobile version of the game is currently in development by Hanbitsoft, which is sure to bring the game's unique gameplay and features to a new generation of players.
