| All right folks, for those of you who have yet to try this absolutely amazing game, or rather completely new world, I have bunch of information regarding it.
1) The graphic.
If one were to go to sleep in real world and wake up in the world of Asgaroth, at first he wouldn''t be able to feel a difference from real one. Everything is so detailed. And what''s more, the feeling when you touch something is very much real.
There is no difference in perception. As well as physics is the same as real life''s one.
It''s like that world is a better copy of the one we live in.
2) Races
Continents of Asgaroth are populated with various races. Starting from humans, who have many branches regarding their homeland. For example Nomads are more resistant to poison and heat, and Nords have increased strength and tolerance to frost. As the only race they are the most balanced regarding stats, making them jacks of all trades.
Later there are Elves, who generally share the trait of ''agile spellweaver'', having generally higher magic affinity, agility and dexterity, at the cost of lower strength and vitality. Make sure to never underestimate their archers as well! They are also the same height as humans.
Following in kind are orcs, who have great strength and vitality. That makes up for their low intellect, as well as dexterity. They are the worst manufacturers, relying on trade with other races to arm themselves up. Regarding height they are the tallest race available, offset by the fact that they are also hideous. And intimidating.
Lastly there are dwarves. Small, but sturdy, their strong points lie in strength and dexterity. They are the go-for choice if your dream is to become legendary blacksmith. They also are the only race with innate knowledge of most crafts.
3) Spells and skills
There are two categories of ''special attacks'': said spells and skills.
To use spells you burn your mana, and to use skills ¨C stamina. Spells, especially at later stages, require very long chanting, as well as very big mana pool. It is offset by the fact that one ignored mage is able to wipe out whole army, if left alone for a long enough time. Which is why they are the usual target of assassins and the like.
Skills on the other hand don''t require you to speak a word ¨C much less chant. The mechanic is really simple ¨C to use a skill you need to learn to correct form from masters, or discover one yourself ¨C and just so you know, skills are based on the real life. Which means martial artists have easier start.
4) Classes
There are 4 basic classes of Warrior, Archer, Mage and Cleric.
I''m not going to dive deeper into the subject, the names are self-explanatory. Just so you know you can''t change your class once you gain one, so be extra careful in your decision.
5) Death
Once you die there is an 8-hour ban from the game. Mainly to cool off and such. Usually it''s best to get a sleep and don''t grief too much over death.
You lose only coins and some experience, so the penalty isn''t that high.
Oh, there''s also a chance to lose some items, but it''s nothing you should be wary of.
6) Combat
Remember how I told you that martial artists have I easier? That''s because you don''t control you in-game character. You are that character.
Ever wanted to try that super-awesome-ultra-powerful move of you favourite anime character? Go ahead and do it. Who knows, maybe you''ll get a skill for it!
Everything is based on your reflexes and judgement. Don''t rely on stats completely. Or some random RNG (when there''s not enough randomness in classic RNG).
7) NPCs
Remember how those guys usually stood still in one spot? Well, now you won''t see a difference between them and real players! Isn''t that crazy? Also remember: You can take NPC''s place as a shopkeeper or a priest. Maybe a tailor? Everything you do has it''s effect on the continents of Asgaroth.
If you didn''t stop reading mid-way to go and grab a copy of the game along with ELECTO from the nearest shop. But if you didn''t, here''s... |
