EXPLORE A VAST MMORPG WORLD LIKE NO OTHER
RuneScape is a high fantasy open world MMORPG. Explore an ever changing and evolving living world where new challenges, skills, and quests await. Featuring unprecedented player freedom, you choose how to play, adventure, and grow.
PLAY YOUR WAY
It's all up to you. Will you explore the world and embark on a risky raid with friends, or seek fame and fortune as a lone adventurer? Whether you’re the hero of daring quests, quietly tending to your farm, a legend risking it all against a high-level boss or simply a gentle soul spending a night at the circus, RuneScape is the perfect AFK second-screen game. Play how you want, the choice is yours! Warrior or wizard, farmer or cook – what type of hero will you be?
ENDLESS DISCOVERY
With a world and story that’s been growing for an incredible 20 years, RuneScape continues to thrill players with a magic packed adventure unlike any other. With 270 million installations and cross-playability on PC and mobile, join the hundreds of millions of people who have explored the fantastic and mystical world of Gielinor.
UNFORGETTABLE ENCOUNTERS
Make friends – and perhaps sometimes enemies – with a rich roster of memorable NPC characters. From lovable companions and friendly rogues, to deceitful villains and vengeful gods, the many faces of Gielinor offer a deep fantasy experience unlike anything else.
A THRIVING WORLD
Visit dozens and dozens of unique and striking locations, from the medieval city of Burthorpe and the tranquil harbours of Catherby, to the dangerous dragon filled expanses of the Wilderness or the barren and parched Kharidian Desert. Own your own port! Run your own farm! Make a pretty penny trading with players at The Grand Exchange… but be sure to keep your exotic wares safe in the Bank!
POWERFUL SKILLS
With 29 skills to master, what will you become? Will you be one with nature by perfecting Woodcutting, Fishing, Herblore and Cooking? Or perhaps you prefer to be creative with Crafting, Farming, Smithing and Construction? Maybe your tastes lay elsewhere – with Hunting, Divination, Invention or Runecrafting? Or does your soul yearn for action, with Magic, Summoning, Slayer and Dungeoneering?
VERSATILE COMBAT
Do you want to get up close and personal with a sharp blade in your hand? Or will you take a tactical approach and attack from range? Or perhaps your skills are more mystical, and you prefer the arena of magic? Defeat a dazzling assortment of foes including an unimaginable array of epic bosses. From demons to dragons and rock monsters to serpents, nightmares beyond your wildest imagination lay in wait.

RuneScape is free to download and play, however, this game also offers players the opportunity to purchase in-game items such as Treasure keys. These keys can be used to unlock treasure chests, which contain random items. Please see the PEGI information page for more information: https://pegi.info/search-pegi?q=runescape
This game is fantastic. The free experience offers hundreds of hours of content, and opting into the membership will expand that to thousands of hours. There’s a wide variety of things to do, from quests to boss fights, and over 25 skills to train. Most of it offers players the freedom to engage as much or as little as they want, with obvious benefits to those who choose a more active approach. Progression feels incredibly rewarding and is the main reason I’ve stuck around with this game for so long. The main problems come from the fact that this is originally a PC experience that’s been transferred to mobile. It’s a point-and-click style of game, which sounds great in theory. However precision is quite difficult on a mobile device, especially on my phone which is fairly small. The UI is complex on the PC experience, and transferring that to mobile was done about as well as you could hope; but it still isn’t perfect. Many of the buttons are quite small, although this would likely be dependent on the size of your mobile device. But from my experience, I often find myself clicking on the wrong things accidentally, which is a minor annoyance. Overall I’d recommend this game to everyone, but the mobile experience has some clear limitations. Unless you’ve got a big phone or tiny fingers, I’d suggest doing some of the simpler content on mobile, and move to a computer for anything that requires complex and precise inputs.
Great but….no room for abilities/items

The game is fantastic. Mobile experience is great as well but… there is a lack of screen customization. Mobile is very cramped. And unfortunately there are not enough screen buttons for all necessary abilities. I believe you are given only 7 or 8 slots on each side. A couple prayers, + defensives, food, restore, shield and weapon for quick switches. And you easily run out of buttons on your screen. There is room for more buttons!!! Mobile players are at a huge disadvantage in bossing because we can’t macro our abilities to a keyboard. This you really really really need to add more buttons that we can drop abilities/items to on our screen for bossing. There is plenty of room!!!!! And even better just add a plus 1 button feature and let the player drag it anywhere on the screen and lock it. So he or she can add as many buttons as they want and wherever they need on their screen. Yay I can now have all my prayers, my freedom, shield, reso, weapon switch for nex, my food, my super restore, and yay room for a couple thresholds so I don’t have to be a full revo noob. And maybe room for a switch. Wow! I can finally play almost, and barely like a pc player. Until then. I can’t do jack crap on mobile for hard bosses. Huge let down.
A Dated Game Trying To Stay Relevant
Matthew0320
RuneScape has been around for at least 20 years and though it can be fun it brings its age-old issues with them; old jarring models clashes with newer graphics; quests are clunky and a HUGE chore (even in OSRS). Combat is fun AT FIRST, but later on (even with max skills and gear) you can still have a hard time on enemies that are below your level making you wonder why even bother 99 some skills. The goal of RS is leveling but for some skills like Farming and Runecrafting it’s frustrating because despite the features to level LATER ON the first 20 levels are frustrating to get to with a clunky learning process that can shoo new users away.The world is big but is at war with itself as the game evolves. As RuneScape try’s to modernize major cities, key NPCs and enemies as well as weapons and armor REALLY show their age, which wouldn’t be a problem for a retro feel but with micro transactions and seasonal events that reward cosmetics then you start to wonder why the developers would focus on that instead of fixing their world and NPCs at the very least the player avatar.The games unstructured in a lot of aspects, but it’s still fun. There ARE better MMOs and older players with rose-tinted glasses will say “the grinds part of it” but for those who value their time and don’t want an overly grinding experience look elsewhere.

Game is great but the mobile app could use some work right now.

This game is really good especially as something to do while watching stuff. The skilling is afk friendly which is nice most of the time. This is my goto for idle skilling. If I want tediousness I’ll play OSRS. Subscribing gets works for both games on one account which is great. I enjoy them both. Anyway Runescape is a pretty unique MMO and I definitely suggest trying it. You can play a nice chunk if the game for free. The game can be pay to win if you play on a standard account. I HIGHLY suggest playing ironman on this version of the game. With the smithing and mining rework it’s a lot easier to self sustain in this version than it is in OSRS. Anyway definitely give it a shot.Lately the mobile app has been being very odd. It will overheat my phone really bad even if I have the framerate on 35. It will overheat and then crash. Not sure what’s going on but I’ve never had that issue until the latest update. The audio also gets stuttery which is a new issue too. Not sure if it’s crashing because it’s overheating my phone or if it’s a memory leak issue or what. Hopefully it’s fixed soon.
