-Story-
Welcome to The World of Azurla. A world which is powerfully alive. Above, beyong the sky is what is known as 'Aura Kingdom', a realm of light and spirit. Below the world is the underworld known as Pandemonium. A realm of dead, home of the demons of destruction. Between the two world is what is known as Terra where humanity and the other moral people lives. This is where the realms of both above and below combine. Beyond the lands of humanity, lion like warrior nomads of Ventos Prairie, Amphibious Sarpa of Candeo Marsh, and more strange races. Many civilizations have come and gone in which leaving ruins
and mysterious monuments for travelers to explore them.
The Church in the great city of Navea is to provide moral order. The Churches Templars only provide temporal order. When the monsters, bandits, etc... threaten the civilization the Templars send knights to deal with the problem. TThe greatest Templar was known as "Reinhardt." For 20 years he fought, and bled, to drive back those who threatened to disturb peace. Reinhardt stepped back from command to marry Suna, who was the love of his life. The people had admired him as a warrior and saw all the happiness as just the reward for him saving all of them and keeping peace among them. But, as things happened his love Suna became ill with a mysterious, deadly disease. Reinhardt put back on his armor and continued on a quest to find a cure, further and further into the world he went. He returned empty handed and heartbroken. And suddenly, he just disappeared.
Dark times for the realm approached since Reinhardt's disappearance and Suna's Illness. The word soon got out and now Bandit and pirates threaten villages, taking advantage of the heroes absence. Now rumors of monsters and evil ghosts and even worse was heard from edges of the civilization. Now a black-armored knight has appears with death and demons following him wherever he travels to.

-Gameplay-
Aura Kingdom is just like any other MMORPG game that is made today. First you shall start with creating your character, you have several ways to customize your character to your liking, or just click randomize! Just like the majority games today you in the beginning of the game you are to go around and talk to a NPC and help them with a given quest. There are several of them in the beginning of this game. Shortly after playing and completing a small variety of quest you will receive your first mount. You mount is an animal known as the Ostrich. With this mount you cannot auto glide but with it you can auto move faster than just plain walking/running.
In this game there is also very many social options, so you can make friends and such. There are a variety of emotions and greetings in the game. You also have a friends list like most MMORPG's, but you friends list only limited to 100 friends.
This game has a stat system which is were you have multiple options for placing either offense or defense. For the offense side of the skill tree it gives you stats like Damage/Critical/Speed, for defense you which includes things like HP/Defense/Evasion.There is not a skill tree in this game, as described above this system in the game is called "The Envoy's Path."
When it comes down to characters you get to choose from 10 different types of classes.
Guardian, Duelist, Ravager, Gunslinger, Grenadier, Wizard, Sorcerer, Bard, Brawler, Ranger. There is currently a class that has a date to be announced which is called 'Tachi/Katana.'

-Graphics-
This game has a 3D Anime/Fantasy style, my favorite part about this game is probably the toon style of the characters. As seen from my in-game character below, they kinda look like they came directly out of a anime. I will also be posting images from all the characters (Selectable/playeble) Characters that are in the game.
The villages in the game, from what I have seen they are amazing, they seem to be very detailed for a fantasy/anime game. My computer takes somewhat of a toll running this game so I have to lower the graphics to say about medium. So if you computer doesn't run the best with high graphics don't worry, you can change them to meet your computers standards.

-Controls-
The controls in this game are pretty simple for the most part, to move your character all you have to do is either use the normal controls to move in a 3D MMORPG game which is W,A,S,D. The alternative way to move is either using your arrow keys or left clicking where you want to go. Left clicking on the quest will also take you to were the quest is requiring you to go to do it or to turn it in. You have basic skill bindings as well such as 1-8 [Not the 1-8 on your number pad] I recommend 1-8 being your skill sets. You have the other commands C1-C8, you use CTRL + #1-8 to activate. I recommend using C1-C8 as your potions/passives. Controls such as G,L,K,O,J open menus in the game such as things like the guild menus and skills, etc...

-Extra Information-
Me personally, I love the 3D Anime style games like this. If you are a fan of anime/fantasy action then you would probably enjoy playing this. The Maximum Level of this game is currently capped at 75, the content level is 60. Don't think you are done at 60 though! You still have the ability to continue to level to keep on going. I recommend this game for players who maybe wants to learn how to play games of this type. This is simple up to higher levels.
