I felt like the combat itself needs a little work as it didn’t feel truly smooth, but definitely has the capacity to be brilliant if they could do just that. The group finder for dungeons seemed to be down when we played, but we are curious to see how well dungeons pop in the future. I also prefer games that encourage more party friendly modes, and I felt overall the incentive in dungeons for better loot and party required quests was well reflected in the fact people were requesting to party for dungeons. ![]() The game does feel a little dated, but it has held up quite nicely against other more recently released titles. So what did I think? I thought this game was well thought-out with genuinely decent voice acting which was a nice cherry on top of the game itself. So keep watching out for a later video where you see me get owned in PvP. As you move through the game you’ll also come across opportunities for PVP, something we didn’t get to as it unlocks at level 30 and I needed to eat lunch, sleep, and then roll around in bed for awhile, thus, I missed out on the opportunity, but I know a few of you made it and would love to hear what you thought! We’ll be reaching level 30 during closed beta 2. You can also build your own combos and sequences via your action bar. You also level your skills and make a very customized build. I truly didn’t mind the style of combat and found myself pleasantly surprised by having an “uh oh idk where you are but I need to heal you button.” So as a healer, I found my skills quite useful. The combat itself did feel a little clunky, but then again Stix and I only made it to level 16. This did come in handy more often than I thought. The mechanics involve mostly tab-targeting of your desired being of thwarting but has a strange little hybrid of action thrown in there with a dodge function that you can control with the double tap in a desired direction. Like any MMO, there is combat, because…well…you have to stop someone from achieving their life goals of total world domination to some degree. So in a dying world of party friendly games, they are catering to both the social and reclusive. The hope of the developers behind Astellia was that they wanted to give the player the freedom to solo things as their class of choice or party up with other people if they so choose. The Astels themselves range from Tank, DPS, and Healer, the holy trinity of MMOs. The more you have summoned the quicker they will disperse and leave you with your base choice Astel, so choose wisely. Just keep in mind it does deplete your energy that keeps the Astels in the world with you much more quickly when you have multiple of them summoned. The purpose of these creatures is almost like a card based game, when you’re in need of a certain set of skills, you call them forth, and you can call forth multiple ones at a given point in time. Depending on what class you play you’ll get a different line-up of Astels. Some of them are adorable, straight up sexy, and some are funny looking. ![]() So bringing the topic back around to Astels, because I really wanted to go a little deeper on these little helpers, or well, some of them are little. Although if you’re super anxious to get in, you can purchase their Legendary Edition and garner yourself access to the closed beta! We’ll also be giving away more keys come closed beta 2, so stay tuned to our website and Twitter’s for future events. ![]() We actually saw a lot of you winners in game and really enjoyed saying hi to you all. We were fortunate enough to be able to share 100 of those keys with you guys. Being the incredibly generous people we are we went ahead and requested some keys for our viewers. The team behind Astellia were kind enough to send us 2 closed beta keys to try out the game first-hand. We at MMOByte have played through the previous Korean version of the game, but had no clue what was being said at any point in time during the game, so we ourselves were looking forward to this! It was formally released in 2016 in China and is finally making its way here, something many of us have been looking forward to. Astellia is a beautiful upcoming MMORPG scheduled to release in the West this year. ![]()
