The game is currently in closed beta.

Poisonville is a “Free Roaming Action MMORPG” running directly from a browser without additional plugins or downloads.

Poisonville is a fictional american city where crime and corruption are daily business. The city is divided between four gangs who crave for domination and the Police has a hard to time to keep the order, mostly because they’ve been paid to look the other way.

The player returns after 10 years to regain reputation and respect within his old gang but also to make new connections and friends.

Heists, Deliveries, Retrieval and Neutralize Missions are just a few of the “jobs” the player can accept and fulfill using all kinds of vehicles from bike and choppers over jetskis, cars and trucks – the support of his/her gangmembers always asured as long as the karma stays positive. The players actions and behaviour are taken into account when it comes to reputation and respect within Poisonville.

The players appearance also plays a big role when it comes to reputation: the better you dress, the better your chances to get the more classy jobs and the higher the interest of the opposite sex.

    Actually it isn’t a review.
    I wrote only one review on this blog at this time (Mystic Mines).

    The game has to come out first to review it 😉
