Lineage Eternal is soon starting its first closed beta in South Korea. Here in our country, the game is also considered an upcoming highlight. But what is so great about Lineage Eternal? We name five reasons why Lineage Eternal could be a real hit.
However, it is considered likely that NCSoft’s new MMO will eventually find its way to the West. But why should one even look forward to the game? Isn’t it just another new Korean grinder?
Five reasons why Lineage Eternal could rock!
We can’t say how grindy Lineage Eternal will ultimately be – that’s a standard accusation against Asian MMORPGs – but there are already some indications that NCSoft’s new MMO could be really good. We have listed five particularly important features of the game for you here.
It looks amazing!
The gameplay scenes shown so far from Lineage Eternal are bursting with graphic splendor. This wonderfully showcases the colorful fantasy world. The many cool combat animations and effects contribute optimally to the gaming experience. Anyone who has always wanted an Asian-inflected Diablo 3 with great graphics (and many people do), could really enjoy Lineage Eternal.
Action MMO gameplay
The gameplay of Lineage Eternal is said to be heavily oriented towards Blizzard’s action role-playing game Diablo 3. This promises us action-packed battles and fluid gameplay, as one is used to from Blizzard’s devil hunt. In addition, typical MMORPG elements such as guilds, PvP, crafting, and instances are included. So, the best of both worlds, if the previous information is to be believed.
Giant bosses!
Action RPG gameplay in Lineage Eternal includes battles against huge enemies and bosses. The creatures in Lineage Eternal are gigantic and promise epic challenges and legendary loot when we take them down. We are eager to see how the battles can ultimately be mastered in the game.
Classic Lineage class selection
Lineage Eternal relies on the proven and familiar hero types from the Lineage franchise for its classes. However, the beloved heroes have been adapted to the new action gameplay. In the Lineage Eternal trailer, we see each hero briefly with their skills and abilities. Additionally, the heroes are now called “Eternals” and, according to information from the website Steparu.com, each has their own personality.
A hero is not enough! Then take four!
There is a new feature in Lineage Eternal that has only recently been revealed: We can control not only our main hero but also a party of up to four characters! With the F1 to F4 keys, we can switch through the currently active character. This way, we can master many challenges without a group and do not have to rely on a single hero in gameplay.
