However, the biggest challenges will not come from these enemies, but from the other players, against whom you can participate in exciting PvP combat. TERA - Rising has a history with certain political divisions that, if followed, will lead the player to confrontation with some huge enemies. That way, the more skillful ones will have a considerable advantage. The players will have to choose their skills and, more importantly, they can avoid the ones of their opponents. The 'berserker' and the 'warrior' are a few that stand out.ĭifferent from a lot of other MMORPG, where combat is just a click on an enemy, in TERA - Rising it will be necessary to be quite skillful. In the same way, players will have to choose one of the eight available character classes. When starting the adventure, the players can choose between seven different races, that goes from the normal and omnipresent human to the castanics, a race of semi demons. Whether I’ll stick around to playing this game until the level cap of 60 seems doubtful, but the visuals and gameplay are enjoyable so far! If not, I can always just make more bishie characters to look at :) I’m still in the middle of exploring new places as well as experimenting with other features such as the crafting system so I don’t have a solid opinion on the game yet.TERA - Rising is the free version of the popular massive role-playing game TERA (acronym for The Exiled Realm of Arborea), where the players can immerse themselves in a medieval fantasy world full of heroes (incarnated by other players) and creatures trying to kill those heroes. Before I was rewarded a horse in one of my quests, going to places on foot took a while so getting a free horse was a life saver to go to places and also escape from monsters. Though, doing quests and all does feel quite sluggish sometimes if I play for long amounts of time which is why I usually play for only a few hours. Also, the game map is HUGE. I managed to level my character (Tokiyan – someone took Tokiya sobs) to 18 in two days and I guess leveling is okay since some of the quests give you lots of XP. It takes a few minutes but being able to move the camera and look at the view of the game map from high above is stunning! I think one of my favourite things about playing Tera is flying on a pegasus that takes you to your destination. There can be a lot of keyboard smashing if you’re like me who misses a lot 8D But I guess one of the reasons why I enjoy this type of gameplay is that each battle with a monster is a different challenge. Attacks and skills are done manually which means you can miss hitting your enemies if you don’t aim correctly. The controls are similar to first and third person shooter games: you move with buttons WSAD, mouse for aiming, left-click to attack, right-click to dodge and skills that can be used on the F and number keys. I usually opt for range DPS rather than melee or mage jobs since I like attacking from a distance. I trialed warrior job for a bit before trying out archer which I decided to stick with. You’re also free to choose any job and race as there are no locked jobs depending on the race you choose (and vice versa) so there are plenty of options! Tera actually lets you customise facial features such as your lips, eyebrows, makeup, ears, nose and even your jaw. I’ve played my fair share of online RPGs and they usually have customization to a certain extent such as hair, eyes, skin colour and ofcourse your race/job. Though, I did not expect that this game would take over 30GB of memory! I haven’t played MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) games in ages and thought it wouldn’t hurt to try this beauty out. My friends on Facebook and Twitter were talking about this game and after seeing the screenshots, I knew I wanted to play. Because who can’t resist those gorgeous graphics and customization?
