The Steam version of the MMORPG Bless will differ significantly from the version playable in Korea. The developers have now talked in detail about the differences we can expect for the global release of Bless on Steam.
“Let’s change everything we can,” thought the developers of Bless before they started preparing the Steam version. Accordingly, this version plays differently than the one available in Korea. At least, that’s what the developers assure – players in Europe will actually be able to experience Bless starting in May. The early access release is set for then.
Look forward to these changes
One of the major changes is the combat system:
- The combat is designed to be “rhythmic”.
- You choose between two combat stances out of six available.
- You select four skills that are class-specific.
- Combos are created from the combat stances and skills, which have specific effects.
- The combat is more action-packed than in the “original”, and mastering combos plays an important role.
The skill system has also been adjusted:
- You must not only improve your equipment but also learn new skills and enhance acquired abilities.
- You collect gemstones that you need to enhance your skills.
- Playing in a party gives you a buff, encouraging group play.
- The party leader can choose a “lifestyle” effect depending on the party size and composition. This is a buff that affects activities outside of combat.
The monetization is also said to be user-friendly:
- Content Token Shop: In this in-game shop you can purchase functional items with the in-game currency “Content Tokens”, which have real utility. Content Tokens can be earned through gameplay.
- Lumena Shop: You can buy Lumena currency with real money and then acquire cosmetic items in the shop.
- Through the Lumena Exchange Center, you can convert Content Tokens into Lumena. This way, you can shop in the Lumena Shop without spending money.
The game flow will also be adjusted:
- The Steam version of Bless will feature a special tutorial zone that introduces players to the game and its basic functions.
- Following that, you will complete so-called guide quests which will teach you more about the MMO.
- New content will be gradually unlocked so as not to overwhelm players with too much information at the beginning.
- You can participate in many activities even at level 1.
- To make events and activities in the game more exciting, the monsters in the Steam version of Bless will have unique skills. This aims to provide a challenge when improving your hero by hunting monsters.
It’s almost time
In May, the early access version of the MMORPG Bless will launch, and you can experience for yourself how it plays. You will especially see how the interaction between PvE and open PvP works.
