Lost Ark Platform Originally released in South Korea back in 2019, Lost Ark Platform is a free-to-play isometric ARPG developed by Tripod Studio and Smilegate RPG. After a successful launch in the East, Amazon Games looks to continue that success, publishing the game for Western audiences via Steam.
It’s been many years since anything took the free-to-play genre by storm. A genre all too frequently victim to games that lack imagination and innovation, trading quality for quantity, all looking to become the next big thing by standing on the shoulders of giants, and more often than not, they fall short.
However, some look to brave new grounds, raise the bar, bring the free-to-play genre back to the forefront of the MMO space. Lost Ark Platform is one such game.

If I’m being honest, I didn’t dive into Lost Ark Platform with very high expectations. I knew I’d enjoy the game, I’m a big fan of ARPG’s when done correctly, but I wasn’t expecting much more than that. It took about 30 minutes before I realized this is not your average free-to-play cash-in ARPG (I’m looking at you Magic: Legends).
