Developer's Description

By By The Sword Software

Play as a warrior and fight monsters and your friends' warriors through MSN Messenger.

Desktop Warrior is a desktop game application that runs while you are working on the computer, at work, or at school. Everyone can download and play Desktop Warrior for free up to level 20, but afterwards you must register your copy. When you purchase your copy you will be able to Go Online with your warrior and be able to utilize the huge Auction House, join and leave kingdoms, and wage wars with other kingdoms. Also, you can battle your warrior against your friends warriors through MSN Messenger. Desktop Warrior is constantly living. What I mean by living is that as you level your experience points earned increases after every level, the monsters you fight constantly become stronger along with you, and items can be mended into rare and treasured pieces of equipment.

Pros
ITs great how you can go up to level 20... that way you can experience what the game is all about and have a thought about purchasing it afterwards.
Cons
Grahics are pretty bad but it doesnt take a lot of room... so I guess its worth it.

Summary
Addictive and entertaining
Nyguitar83February 20, 2006
Pros
The creator of this program has done a terriffic job of bringing together a game that is fun and entertaining but not overly time consuming. It is the type of program that you can play in the middle of writing a paper to take a break, while surfing on the web or while talking to friends. The learning curve is minimal and the game is fun to play over MSN. While there are some odd areas, they come from the creators past game creations. Gnome craft was such a creation which he played in the dorms with his fellow hallmates. These areas help add to the imagination and creativity of the game and enhance the carefree aspect of it.
Cons
Could use some slight modification to interface, some items should be made more powerful but still, overall a very fun game.
Summary
Very cool, nostalgic game that can be played while without interrupting work.
SonofSamusJanuary 25, 2006
Pros
There's so much to like about this game. It basically allows you to enjoy an old-school style RPG without interrupting anything productive you might be doing, such as work or school. The mobs pop up in the corner, and disappear once you select them to fight, or disappear if you ignore them. It's all very non-intrusive, but still gives you a gaming fix while at work. And when you do get a free minute, you can bring the full interface up to develope your character, and manage your equipment. The pvp and guild/kingdom system on the official site is icing on the cake. Fantastic program!

Fun game

Pros
Fun game. Fighting over MSN is pretty fun--head trophies are nice. Large selection of weapons and armor (both of which can be mended to be stronger). Has auto attack feature that allows you to play w/o much effort if you're doing on other stuff on the computer at the same time.
Cons
The blacksmith is evil--BEWARE!!! <p>Some cheesy comments/places during game <p>Sounds/merlin can be annoying, but can be turned off.
Summary
DW is one of the most addictive games I have ever played.

Pros
The best thing about Desktop Warrior is the ability to work on other programs (Lets say while you are at work) and allowing you the ability to level your warrior without interupting your focus. Desktop Warrior allows you to build your warrior offline and in your spare time, or while doing other tasks at the same time. It offers the ability to challenge players over MSN messenger. The online play consists of kingdoms, and rankings based on level and kills. There is a king in each kingdom who can star wars with other kingdoms and everyone in the kingdom can fight for items and gold in this "epic" struggle. The interface for the desktop allows you to customize your warriors stats and add abilities when you level. "DW" gets back to the basics in its simple design, but adds advanced features that allow you to customize your character by collecting weapons, choosing both a class and a profession, and allowcating skills based on experience. The game accomodates many different styles of play from the auto attack approch to the allowing you to manage the attack, heal, and skills used in battle. The addictive nature of the game comes from its endless possiblities. There is no level cap. There are no requirements for Items. There is a map which you can navigate and each area has its own unique BOSSES that give up unique Equipment for the taking. There are shops to buy and sell items, and a roaming gnome crafter who can add stat points to your items, but watch out sometimes he doesn't know his own strength. It allows hte ability to load animated gifs that display as your image in the desktop application and in the MSN "duel" interface.
Cons
The interface is a bit hard to get used to, perhaps if in the file menu it had links for the advanced options page for both item assignment and skill disbursment. There also is are a few quirks with it taking focus when you are working on other programs. The only way to move around the map is by opening up the full desktop interface. The loading of a picture to display as your character can be confusing.

Play while you work

Summary
This game is very fun and interactive.
tbakerstudJanuary 17, 2006
Pros
The best part of this game is that it's practically maitenence free. You can play it, and still do just about anything else you want to. The interactive MSN battle mode is also very cool.
Cons
The only problem I have with Desktop warrior is that when the MOB's pop up, they will temporarily steal the focus of the computer. This can be frustrating, especially if you are typing at the time.
Summary
An innovative RPG-type game you can play at work! Pretty fun.
scottwmccarterJanuary 17, 2006
Pros
Definately has an interesting twist, allows you to have a game in the background while you're in an office. A number of my friends started playing it, and we're having a great time even at the higher levels. A ton of fun to play, and worth getting into!

Pros
Desktop Warrior is a fun little game. You can leave it running all the time in your task bar and it isn't intrusive when I'm trying to get work done. I can see this becoming addicting though :) The update feature is nice.
