Review

Golemizer is a unique browser based game that allows players to shape the game world. Most MMOs have some sort of crafting and player organization systems but few have anything as complex as what Golemizer offers. Not only can players place their own houses but can form player run cities, create quests, build dungeons and learn dozens of trade skills.

Account creation is simple, Golemizer doesn'€™t even require an email address! Appearance customization is limited which is excusable for a 2d browser game.

The game controls are easy to learn, left click the move and right click on something to bring up available actions. The only flaw with this is the choppy movement which makes the game feel laggy.

Golemizer is a simple game to jump into but is deep enough to keep fans coming back. As soon as you start playing, four tutorial NPCs are waiting to guide players through short quests that explain the game's basics; crafting, combat, badges, and advanced crafting.

Though these tutorials are optional, it is highly recommended that you complete them for the gold and prestige rewards. Players can craft golems to fight for them and other objects such as gears or furniture. Crafting requires raw materials such as iron and wood which must be collected. Woods is extracted from trees while various types of metals are mined from rocks located inside special mines. But before any crafting can be done, players must train the appropriate skills from NPC trainers near town. There are dozens of skills and each has a different '€˜time point' cost. This limits how many skills a player can learn per day.

Combat in Golemizer is done through golems that players build. These golems act as pets and must be given orders, for example after targeting a monster or animal, you must type /attack and hit enter in the chat box. To get their golem to follow them, players must type /follow. This text command interface is a bit archaic but luckily players can summon their golem from anywhere at a small time point cost. While hunting, crafting and completing quests, players can collect badges. Badges are achievements, some are simple to accomplish while others are rare. Each player'€™s badges are displayed in game and on the game forums. As of this writing, Glemizer is still a very new game and the game's population is tiny. Your enjoyment of the game will depend on your tastes and how involved you get with the player run economy and society.
