Planetwide's localized expansion, Path of the Emperor, is already boasting a large cult following” says Joseph Blancanto from WarCry.com. “Combat is quick, clean, and laden with beautiful particle effects. It’s graphically stronger than Guild Wars and the music is simple, yet endearing. Despite the deep root in standard influences, RYL still manages to break the mold where it matters.”
