The Review: Time to Play God
Above all else, Legends of Aria promotes player freedom and a wealth of choice. Typically, games within the role-playing genre tend to stick to a specific skill mold, and this can be restrictive at times. So then, it is refreshing to play an RPG which allows the player to increase skills by sheer action alone.
For instance, abilities only improve by carrying out that said action. As they say, practice makes perfect. Moreover, honing various skills as you go is, for the most part, an enjoyable pastime.
Your Own World of Legends of Aria
Another vital feature of Legends of Aria is the world creator whereby players set the realm in which they wish to roam. What’s impressive, is the volume of options open to the player. Ultimately, it’s this sense of liberty that pushes the limits of your imagination. Initially, players must choose the type of world, as there are no fixed criteria.
As a result, the player decides on various worldly themes such as a fantasy, magical, steampunk or mythology-based setting as the backdrop. Furthermore, the options to lay down a unique story and set character bios means each creation is personally relevant. Soon enough, you will find yourself emotionally attached to your divine design.
… and Your Home
Also, there is a system which allows the player to build their very own home. Within the games, vast terrains are large swaths of unclaimed land up for grabs. Once, you have found a suitable area on which to build, a fully customizable home editor opens, allowing for the construction of homes. What’s more, these builds are shareable with the game’s healthy online community.
The Game Mechanics
Legends of Aria entails most of the traits found within a regular online role-player. For instance, defeating monsters, engaging in p-v-p duels and collecting rare loot makes up large parts of the game. What’s more, players can explore a large map, which includes beast to slay and dungeons to explore. There is also a host of locales to visit, and bosses to beat.
Also, the crafting system morphs, to complement the nature of each specific world. Meaning, all craftable items differ depending on world genre. To illustrate this point, let’s look at the following examples. Blades and armor are the focal choices of a Medieval setting, while potions and spells are made available in a high-fantasy realm.
