Ragnarok Journey is an online browser massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) that enables players to battle against colorful monsters, gain new abilities and participate in quests in a fantasy world. It’s a game everyone can play anytime, anywhere, without the need to download and install a client.

Ragnarok Journey the Casual Game Aimed toward casual gamers, Ragnarok has been re-imagined in an all new convenient AI-assisted adventure style which makes grinding and leveling up easier. Battle monsters throughout the world of Rune Midgard and use characters skills to traverse through new dungeons and zones.

Ragnarok Journey offers a completely unique playing experience. Some of the awesome features include choosing a specialized class—such as Mage or Swordsman at level 10, characters accumulating new abilities by manually adding skill points, and unleash devastating attacks on a menagerie of colorful fantasy monsters, the same model used in the classic Ragnarok Online, and undertaking quests from NPCs and enjoy daily rewards,  just like the great MMORPGs.
