Soulworker is another Asia MMO coming to the western market soon, as publisher Gameforge has recently announced the western release of the post-apocalyptic anime MMO.
2016 is a celebration for all fans of Asian MMOs and the associated anime aesthetics. Because after Blade & Soul and the recently announced Bless, Soulworker is also set to debut fresh from Korea for the western market. The well-known publisher Gameforge, which has already released games like TERA and Aion in the west, is responsible for the local localization.
Unlike Blade and Soul or Black Desert Online, Soulworker does not take place in a medieval fantasy world, but in a post-apocalypse where humanity is threatened from all sides. Therefore, it needs heroes armed with such wild titles as “Soulum Sword”, “Mist Scythe”, “Gun Jazz”, or “Howling Guitar”.
EAT MY GUITAR!
Especially the guitar-wielding Howling Guitar should be particularly cool, as this hero uses hard guitar riffs to unleash both buffs and attacks. So a real “Guitar-Warrior”. Overall, the combat system of Soulworker will be action-packed, visually impressive, and dynamic. The heroes also enhance their abilities through emotions such as sadness, euphoria, or madness, thus unlocking new skills.
The game itself features a stylish cell-shading look and thus really looks like a playable anime. The storyline is said to be quite extensive and will be conveyed in cutscenes and voiced dialogues. In addition, there are about 100 PvE areas where large parts of the story are also addressed. But there will also be PvP areas and housing.
Unfortunately, Gameforge has not yet announced a release date for Soulworker, but the publisher is already very excited about the launch day.
Mein-MMO states: Wow, that looks really cool! And the wild class names suggest original hero types. I am curious to see what the final product will look like, but from everything I have seen from Soulworker so far, I like it. What do you think? Is it a game to be excited about, or are you starting to get tired of the many announced Asia MMOs?
