The action MMORPG Kritika Online is set to arrive in Europe in a few months. It originates from Korea and has been around for several years. Kritika Online features cel-shaded graphics and instant action. The sign-up for the closed beta has already started.
En Masse is the US publisher of Tera. They plan to bring Kritika Online to PC in Europe and North America. This is scheduled between April and June 2017, which is quite soon. It is set to be a free-to-play action MMORPG with cel-shaded graphics.
The announcement is: “We are cutting out all the unnecessary elements. The goal is to get you into action as quickly as possible.”
Players will battle through instanced quest areas to defeat a boss at the end of the zone in an epic fight. Players can take on these bosses solo or team up in a group to defeat them. Alongside PvE combat, Kritika Online also promises PvP.
How to sign up for the closed beta of Kritika Online in Europe
Before the launch, there will be an open beta. If you can’t wait: You can sign up for the closed beta at this address with En Masse.
What is Kritika Online?
Kritika Online is not an in-house development, but an Asian port – and a rather late one.
Kritika Online was announced for South Korea in 2011. It entered an open beta there in February 2013. An English version was playable in Southeast Asia in June 2016. And now in spring 2017, the title is finally coming to Europe.
It is one of those typical games that anime fans and Asian enthusiasts have had on their radar for a while – similar to “Soulworker Online.” Whether such a late release will still attract and delight fans remains to be seen.

Typically, such Asian MMORPGs run outside of the mainstream and only attract a specific target group, which can be quite strong and passionate about new releases.
