Get ready for one of the most stunning MMORPGs of the year!

Captivating audiences worldwide, the highly anticipated Crystal of Atlan has already made waves, despite not yet launching globally. Showcased in a playable demo at GDC in 2023, the game quickly became a sensation after its debut in China, topping the iOS charts and generating a social media frenzy.

The action MMORPG takes place in the floating world of Crystal of Atlan, where airships and revolvers take flight in a battle of good vs evil; where bloodthirsty Berserkers, graceful Musketeers, and agile adventurers battle across the alleys, forests, and battlefields of a captivating, magicpunk inspired world.

Suffice it to say that the game is replete with stunning visuals and stellar sound effects that befit its grand setting; all of which is owed to Crystal of Atlan having been developed on Unreal 4, so that every gravity-defying animation, elemental-based attack, and bulletstorm laden battle is delivered at pique quality to hook you right in - and did we mention that it's cross-platform between mobile and PC/PlayStation too?

Of sinister Scytheguards and badass Berserkers 

We're all familiar with the average tanky swordsman and the ranged mage shooting fireballs from afar - but what if you could summon a mecha-esque marionette as a Blademaiden, or forgo your emotions in favour of chaos magic with a hint of madness? 

Crystal of Atlan offers four main classes you can choose from along with 8 subclasses to specialise your skills in, with more than 20 different abilities to tinker around with to suit your playstyle best. The jaw-dropping character designs should make you look hella cool in itself, but when you're in action, it's a whole other story - which brings us to our next point…

Cool characters and even cooler combat

To say that battles are exhilarating might just be a bit of an oversimplification, as Crystal of Atlan offers a stunning 3D XYZ axis design to make every blade swing as dynamic as can be. Strategise the best combination of skills to buff up your kit, then unleash devastating damage onto the battlefield with jaw-dropping combos. 

Whether you're slashing through your foes in mid-air or raining down a hail of bullets with your gigantic cannon, the adrenaline doesn't stop pumping - and the immersion is very, very real.

Multiplayer madcap mayhem

Obviously, you'll want to show off your skills and flaunt your fancy gear against other players too, which is where the competitive 3v3 and 1v1 modes come in. The MMO offers a fair PvP environment where skills are balanced and attributes are adjusted, making sure that the one with the superior strategies will come out victorious. 

Now, if you're a tad averse to duking it out with your best mates and would rather adventure alongside them in co-op play, the team battles should be right up your alley. Co-op dungeons aside, the guild fleet system should let you team up with your online buddies and take on quests together across the vibrant "magicpunk" world.
