    Pulse pounding action! i can say as a fan of this genre and not lightly i might add that this is easily one of my favorite games of this year. Some may argue that there are way too many games of this type and i could agree but they dont do it right. R.A.W has the feel and playability of T2 and the snazzy looks of DS3. In other words this game is fun and im glad i pre-purchased. btw i likePulse pounding action! i can say as a fan of this genre and not lightly i might add that this is easily one of my favorite games of this year.

The somewhat visceral gameplay and an immersive atmosphere take away the grind completely. Im looking forward to playing more.… Expand

    This is no a Diablo III and no a Torchlight, but this is a simply and very good action RPG and good gameplay. Yes good gameplay and good graphics and animation.

    A real GEM!!! i cant wait for a sequel... really nice game!!! amazing graphics, nice weaponry and good looting system, and other little things that make this game really wonderful! the story needed a to be a bit more dark, buuut i guess its ok! Torchlight fans, just go play your game instead of burying gems in the sand. ok i didnt like Torchlight not one bit, not even if they gave it to meA real GEM!!! i cant wait for a sequel... really nice game!!! amazing graphics, nice weaponry and good looting system, and other little things that make this game really wonderful! the story needed a to be a bit more dark, buuut i guess its ok!

    One of those titles that are not AAA quality but are actually more fun to play than most of the big names. Has a really good feel with a controller, great art style, and I liked the streamlined progression system compared to the overly complex, smoke and mirrors pathways of other games. Crazy not to have an on-screen map, but it is very linear.

    It's hard to find any reason to play R.A.W. – possibly the most un-inspirational click-fest of this year. Boredom has a new name. [Dec 2012]

    R.A.W. is aeons away from both Diablo 3 and Torchlight 2. Even finding a new shiny trophy is not fun here.

    In every review the main question is 'why would the consumer buy this?' For R.A.W. Realms of Ancient War that is a question hard to answer. Yes, it is an action RPG like great titles such as Diablo III and Torchlight II. But no, we wouldn't recommend this game to anyone.
