Metin2 sets its fantasy conflict against a world scarred by the arrival of Metin stones. Their appearance has torn rifts through the Dragon God’s once-flourishing lands, while kingdoms face transformed animals and reanimated dead. The premise gives the game’s battles a clear purpose: defend a kingdom and push back against supernatural threats.
Its play combines PvE adventures with PvP duels, moving from maps and dungeons to fights against dragons and demon lords. The action also scales up to encounters with hordes of enemies. Players choose among five classes and three kingdoms, then can form guilds, develop lands, and improve weapons and equipment through crafting systems. Mounts and tameable pets add further elements to this broad fantasy-RPG framework.
Metin2 is presented as a massively multiplayer online RPG, with both cooperative-facing adventures and competitive player-versus-player combat in its design.
