Astellia was one of the best new MMORPGs released in 2019. You can now play the Buy2Play game completely for free.
What is Astellia? The MMORPG was released in September 2019 and is among the best MMORPGs released in 2019. The unique aspect of the game is the Astels, small companions that you can collect and train. You can summon three Astels in battles to assist you. Additionally, Astellia offers these features:
- Fights with tab targeting
- A linear story
- Typical “kill and fetch” quests
- 5 classes with the classic Holy Trinity.
- Endgame with legendary dungeons, daily quests, PvP arenas, and grinding to collect the perfect equipment for you.
There are some differences between the versions
How was Astellia playable until now? You could purchase the MMORPG as a Buy2Play title, for example, through Steam. There, you pay 26.99 Euros for the Standard version. If you pay this amount, you can play Astellia indefinitely. No subscription is needed. In the item shop, there are still optional items available for purchase.
How does it look now? You can download the new version Astellia Royal for free via the new website. It is a free-to-play game. So, you don’t have to pay anything.
What are the differences to the Buy2Play version? Since it is now a free-to-play version, there are some changes, including:
- Adjustments to content
- Open-world PvP
- More grinding
- Dungeon tickets take longer to recharge. You need these to enter dungeons.
- Items can break due to failed enchantments.
- Equipment is no longer tied to character level.
- The battlefield Avalon only opens on weekends.
What is the downside? The free-to-play version of Astellia is hosted on Korean servers. While it is an international version that anyone can join, you should expect higher lag compared to the Buy2Play version.
Who is Astellia Royal suitable for? If you want to check out Astellia before purchasing it, the free version is very suitable for that. It provides a good insight into the gameplay, the world, and the story.
If you are looking for a new MMORPG and have heard about Astellia, then try it out with the free-to-play version.
If you do not like grinding, do not want open-world PvP, and do not want your dungeon runs to be ticket-bound or have your items break, then it may be wiser to play the Buy2Play version.
