The fast-paced MMORPG TERA was first playable at the Playstation Experience 2017. The action gameplay was particularly praised, and TERA was compared to the console classic “Devil May Cry”.
TERA is an online role-playing game from 2013 that will soon be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The PS4 version was first playable at the Playstation Experience. There, the game impressed especially with its successful console interface and action gameplay.
The gameplay works optimally on the gamepad
The colleagues from IGN were at the event and extensively played TERA on the Playstation 4. They were particularly impressed by the apparently excellently implemented new user interface. The UI of the PC version has been completely redesigned and would be perfect for playing on the television.
Additionally, the controls have been well adapted to the gamepad. There are numerous functions, and you can display and select even more using the shoulder buttons. Therefore, gameplay on the controller is easy and intuitive.
Completely different from World of Warcraft
According to IGN, TERA plays much more like a dynamic action hit like “Devil May Cry” than the more tactical battles of “typical MMORPGs” like World of Warcraft.
In WoW, you select a fixed target and hit it with your attacks, which usually hit automatically. In TERA, however, you must actively dodge and target your attacks effectively.
Graphics still okay
TERA is almost six years old now but still looks quite good. And even when it doesn’t look that pretty, according to IGN, this hardly stands out. Because the fights against huge, well-modeled, and animated monsters are quite captivating. Therefore, the sometimes dated graphics are hardly noticeable.
TERA is thus a game that should work wonderfully on PlayStation 4 and even appeal to console players who previously did not like MMORPGs.
The release of TERA on PS4 and Xbox One is still unknown.
Anyone who wants to play TERA already can get access to the technical beta with some luck. Another beta is planned for early 2018.
