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. Aion: The Tower of Eternity has many exciting features, such as flight and aerial combat, for players who decide to take the new challenge that lies ahead of them.
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 two shattered halves of Atreia are now seperated by The Abyss.
The two halves of the broken world provide very different environments and characters. On one side of the world is the Elyos and the other side is the Asmodians. The emnity between these two races provides much of the conflict within the game. 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. These classes come with their own pros and cons, giving gamers a lot of choice about how they want to play. In addition, players are allowed to customize their character class as much as they want as the game gives utmost control over how their character appears.
Combat within Aion
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. As you play the game then, this ability to fly means that you’ll have to beware attacks from every angle of the game.
With so much going on in the game you’re sure to be quickly immersed in it’s complexities. Whether you like to role play or grind through missions, Aion: The Tower of Eternity brings a lot of exciting action and options for every player.
