It’s indeed impressive that Astellia has achieved such a high quality visual result, by using Unreal Engine 3 and DirectX 9 (!!). Let’s hope it’s one of the good signs about how the developers are going to treat Astellia moving forward. I don’t know yet if it’ll keep up this way till endgame, but it’s surprising to see that they localized everything for the Western release. Don’t expect the craftsmanship of The Elder Scrolls Online of course, but it’s definitely not as bad as TERA or BDO. Even though subtitling is still terrible (many words are different that what’s spoken, and it’s even out of sync at times), the voice acting is quite fair. There’s an actual story taking place, without being too extravagant, or too confusing.

It’s far from professional of course – even though South Korea produces amazing movies, it seems that their game storytelling skills are abysmal – but it’s not “cringe” at least.

We are used to terrible storytelling, voiceovers and cinematics in South Korean MMOs, but it’s apparent that Astellia did try harder on that part. There’s Quite A Lot “Fair-Quality” Cinematics human by shaping their height, chest size etc. However, it’s worth noting that unlike Black Desert, you can even make lolis look. The biggest example is the “loli” class, Mages. One “negative” is that each class acts as a “race” at the same time, so each one will have its own characteristics that shape the overall result. is quite flexible as well, and you can nail your favourite color tone without being restricted in just a few like most MMOs. What’s more, coloring your hair, eyes, lips etc. I feel it’s even easier to create a celebrity copycat in Astellia, than it is even in The Sims 4. You can sculpt your face, eyes, nose, lips & ears to a huge extent, and you definitely won’t get dissapointed at the wealth of options for each body part, since all of them are covered! Character Creation is Actually Amazing!Įven though the clunky UI, and the presets you’ll encounter at first will make you feel that the character creator is going to suck, hopefully the “Details” tab is actually very detailed! Your eyes will bleed by the naming of most sliders, but it’s going to be worth it, since I’ve never personally seen such a flexible charcater creation tool in an MMO so far!Įven Black Desert Online that has arguably the best graphics in an MMO, is quite harder to tame, with results that feel way less customizable than Astellia’s. Note: For some reason most sites refer to Astellia as “Astellia Online”, even though neither the Korean or the European version refer to the game using the “Online” suffix. Without further ado, let’s hop in Astellia, and see what all the buzz is about, and whether it’s worth your hard-earned money! It seems that the rising popularity of gacha games, is starting to affect even MMOs!

The main takeaway, is that apart from your main character, you can collect & control many different “pets” known as Astels, each with their own abilities & mechanics. Nexon is known to shut down their games faster than they put out new ones, so hopefully they are not related with the EU / NA version of Astellia, which officially opened its doors in Septemfor North American & European users, after a short Closed Beta Testing between J– July 1, 2019.Īstellia is a tab-target MMORPG, that tries to differentiate itself from the pack. The game was officially released by Nexon in Decemin South Korea, and actually closed down its servers in January 16, 2020. The first Korean Astellia Online closed beta has already ended and while it was fairly short – only five days -, it was enough to get a general idea about the Astellia gameplay.Astellia has finally launched on Steam, in January 30, 2020. We already knew that it looked like a mix of TERA and Bless Online visually speaking, but we also like to compare the Astel summoning to what Peria Chronicles is planning on doing.

The video below shows a full Astellia dungeon run, and while the basic combat is far from groundbreaking, the Astel summoning adds something to the game. Astellia Online is a Classical MMORPG striving to return the genre to its roots.

The Guardian Astel that you can see in the second video is huge and extremely powerful, but will only stay with you for a few minutes.ĭivided into Guardians and Servants, the Astel can be summoned to help you in battle. Astellia Royal - Gameplay First Look Home Videos Astellia Royal - Gameplay First Look Wait. As for Servant Astel, they will stick around for the duration of the mana bar, but if you summon two, or three (the maximum number), the mana will be depleted in less than a minute or two.

The gameplay of Astellia is smoother compared to some other free to play games that I have tried so far. You can hang around with one Servant for as long as you like, so consider it a pet. I wasnt aware that people shunned the game in the.
