Utilizing extremely powerful melee, ranged and magical skills, players will fight swarms of evil, demonic forces using FPS style controls in a huge, dungeon-based 3D world.
Players can create their characters from a choice of four classes, including Fighters, ranged-combat focused Hunters, magic-based Shamans, and Witchblades who combine bladed weapons with magical attacks. Each class has a choice of higher ranked positions which players can evolve into, such as Guardians, Assassins, Illusionists, or Slayers.
The game is aimed at fans of action RPGs as well as combat and beat’em up games, and offers an extensive combo system, which will spice up combat both in PvE as well as in the multiple styles of PvP conflict. MMO fans can look forward to Relay Matches for up to 16 players, Deathmatches, Team, and Individually Ranked matches, as well as many PK opportunities.
