Shadow of Legend: Darkness of the Underworld

Shadow of Legend: Darkness of the Underworld was a free-to-play, 2D/2.5D hack-and-slash MMORPG from SmartCell Technology, set in the world of Agnes and its warring Union (Humans and Elves) and Chaos (Orcs and Dwarves) factions. Players chose from four classes (Mage, Monk, Combatant, Archer), quested and fought monsters with PvP unlocked at level 40, and used a crafting system with variable item attributes. Though the PC version launched and ran for several years, a planned cross-platform mobile version was suspended due to technical issues, and the game was eventually discontinued.
