Massively multiplayer online role playing games can seem complex, but once you start playing them you’ll discover how incredibly fun and immersive they can be. The latest title from NCSoft – Aion: The Tower of Eternity – is a perfect example of this. This game has been available in Asia for some time, but now is set to release in the western parts of the world, including the U.S., and Europe. Challenging gamers with exciting new features such as aerial combat, and characters who can fly, Aion promises to provide an interesting experience for players.
What’s Aion’s story?
The game is set in the universe of Aion in the world of Atreia. The story of Aion: The Tower of Eternity is quite unique and there are many intricacies to understand about the universe and its inhabitants. Atreia was shattered into two halves because of a war between good and evil and the Balaur, who are a terror for all the inhabitants of Atreia, are primarily responsible. The Abyss is the dangerous and challenging chasm that lies between the two broken halves of the world.
After the world was broken, the people of each half started to evolve in different ways. On one side of the world is the Elyos and the other side is the Asmodians. Both sides have an intense hatred for each other and this is where much of the conflict comes into play. When the two sides discovered each other long after the shattering of Atreia, the inhabitants went to war with each other instantly. In addition, both sides also battle the Balaur as they have been a constant terror to both the Elyos and the Asmodians.
Characters in Aion
As a player in the MMORP game, you’ll be asked to choose among one of four classes: Priest, Scout, Mage, and Warrior. Each of these classes have a unique role to play within Aion. In addition, players are allowed to customize their character class as much as they want as the game has an insane amount of character customisation available.
Fighting and Combat
With all characters being able to fly, one of the most exciting features of the game is aerial combat. The ability to fly had been incredibly important in the character’s lives before Atreia was split apart. However, when the world was shattered it was assumed that the power to fly would be gone forever.
When the two sides of Atreia engage in combat, though, flying will be an incredibly important tool in order to defeat the other side and the evil Balaur characters. This adds an extra level of challenge to the game, as you have to guard against attacks from all directions.
With so much going on in the game you’re sure to be quickly immersed in it’s complexities. Whether you like to explore the world of tackle large PvP battles, Aion: The Tower of Eternity brings a lot of exciting action and options for every player.
