What is TERA? In TERA, you experience classic MMORPG adventures. You create a hero and complete many quests where you defeat lots of enemies. Group content like dungeons is important, and especially boss battles are the focus of TERA. PvP also plays a role.
- Grinding and the hunt for better equipment plays a major role
- There are many diverse dungeons and raids
- PvP can be done in battlefields, arenas, or in the open world
- Guilds and guild wars are important
- The bosses are impressively staged and harmonize well with the action-oriented combat system
- It is a tactics-oriented action combat system; you need to actively attack and defend with a crosshair
- Each class is elaborately and uniquely animated (here’s our class guide for TERA)
How does TERA play on console? TERA already had controller support in 2012, but controlling the MMORPG was only suboptimal. For the console versions, this was completely redeveloped. TERA can now be controlled well with a gamepad and is designed for consoles, even if the menu navigation may take some getting used to.
However, the performance of the console version could be better. The PC version runs noticeably smoother and looks much better. Thanks to backward compatibility, it can also be played on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Who is TERA suitable for? The MMORPG is primarily interesting for those who enjoy Asian-style MMOs and are not afraid of grinding.
The focus of TERA is on endgame and the bombastic boss fights, which unfortunately are not as sharp as they used to be in the past. This may please casual players, while hardcore players may be less satisfied.
TERA offers the most tactics-oriented action combat system, which harmonizes well with the many boss mechanics in the game. The dungeons in hard mode resemble classic MMORPGs like World of Warcraft in their flow.
What has happened in the game recently? In 2020, several major updates were released, which brought new dungeons, new equipment, and a continuation of the story. Additionally, the Valkyrie class was unlocked for the Elin race. This shows that TERA is still successful and popular this year.
