TERA

MMOs are truly impressive games that test your individual skills as well as your abilities to work in a team. The multiple subgenres offer different gameplays and allow you find out what kind of player you are. These games are outrageously big and combine different features from all types of genres. TERA: Fate of Arun is an MMORPG that combines fast-paced action with multiplayer abilities.

You can feel how big this game from the character design window. You can choose from seven races and nine classes. Some classes can be played only by some races or experienced players with character levels above a certain threshold. The selected character can then be customized to your liking by a complex and diversified creation tool.

The gameplay is fast-paced. You are in charge of the character's death or survival. You have two standard attacks, an offensive and a defensive action. You also have a dash button that enables you to get out of the way of AOE or direct attacks. As you level, you gain more and more skills that can be bound to numerical and function keys. The best part is that you can execute various combos by performing attacks in a particular order.

The difficulty smoothly increases as you level. You can gain experience up to level 65, after which you can accumulate items that can go as high as level 400. Some classes are better at dealing damage and killing creatures, so healers might have a tougher time leveling up. You can always team up with other players and receive experience bonuses for completing quests in a party.

There is also an alliance-based political system that enables you to get different benefits from each one. You can also engage in PvP skirmishes that put your skills to the test to equally serious players. There are battlegrounds where you can fight multiple players and dungeons where you can get better loot.

The game offers astonishing graphics provided your computer configuration can handle the load. Unreal Engine 3 is used to generate breathtaking visuals. Everywhere you travel, you see differently designed imagery that will make you drop everything and admire it. The characters are very well drawn, and the items are correctly displayed on different races. The combat animations are superb and there are barely any recycled elements. The BAMs are outrageously big and the level of detail will please even the most demanding critics.

There is a lot to be said about TERA: Fate of Arun. The game is massive and you can easily get lost in the details. It offers fabulous graphics and a fast-paced combat mode. You can level up characters and get better loot to help you mitigate damage, increase your DPS or heal your allies by larger amounts. A lot of work has been put into this game and the results are more than obvious. The only problem is that the game uses a lot of resources and its system requirements are in the top-end. You can play it for free, but if you want to get an edge in battle, you can purchase in-game items.
