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. To this end, we felt it was an essential addition for our Western audience, to remove the gender lock restrictions on classes, allowing players to focus on fully immersing themselves within the world of Astellia.Ĭheck out the post on the brand spankin' new Astellia site.Astellia has finally launched on Steam, in January 30, 2020. We care about them, often times investing significant amounts of time into customizing their appearances, before even setting foot into the game world. It is part of the commitment to lift gender lock restrictions.įor many players, our characters are extensions of our own imagination, brought to life within these fantasy worlds. To help showcase the unique Astellia features, Barunson has rolled out a brand new website and published a new blog post called 'Bye Bye, Gender Locks' to introduce the Female Assassin and Female Warrior armor variants. He believes that Astellia is adequately prepared for Western players. According to Project Lead Wes Conner, ehe Astellia team understands how important it is to bring a game to a new region with clear signs that it has been 'renovated' for its audience. Those who pre-order a Legendary edition of Astellia will receive guaranteed access to the first closed beta event currently slated for June 25th through July 1st.
