Kurtzpel (PC)

KurtzPel is a fun 3^rd Person, Anime-Inspired, Action Battle Game created by the developers of Grand Chase and Elsword Online.

It’s free to play model is decent, so let’s face it – you’re next waifu can be found here.

Blue Protocol (PC)

Anime and manga gamers the world over were pleasantly surprised when Bandai Namco announced Blue Protocol. This upcoming JRPG features a beatufil open world and action combat. Now throw in some sintillating character designs and art, and you have yourself a winner. The game recently underwent alpha tests back in July for Japan and the surrounding region, and no word has been released on wether or not players can expect a global launch. However, the good news is the game will definitely run on Unreal Engine 4. This simply means that it’s going to look amazing, much like a full-blown anime movie, according to regional critics. The studio is still deciding if it will be free to play or pay to play, so check back for future updates on this.

Aura Kingdom (PC)

This game offers you the chance to become the hero that saves the universe of Aura Kingdom from the grips of evil as well as from the bandits who, after being expelled for years have now returned with even more power than ever. The game lets you choose one of 8 different classes and one of 7 different companions , or “Ediolons” who fight at your side. The game has something for all different tastes, leaving the player with a remarkable sense of choice.

The game is most suited for children as most of the human characters in the game are young. It seems the makers of the game tried to appeal to younger gamers and kind of set aside the wants of more mature, sophisticated gamers. Taking into consideration the more RPG like choices and battle system, it’s best for each individual player to form their own opinions about the game’s childlike traits.

Twin Saga (PC)

Twin Saga features 10 different classes that players can swap between freely at any time without cost or restriction. Player housing also takes a different approach – the Terracottage is a mobile house that can move like mounts, and is a place where guilds and friends can hang out, gather materials and even craft. It is a fairly good MMORPG that contains rich lore and story that is complemented by a fast-paced action combat system that suits the art style. There’s plenty to do in PVE ranging from hidden quests, Astral Adventures and Dungeons, while the competitive players can try their hand at PVP in arenas or battlegrounds. Ultimately, Twin Saga should be credited for its fresh approach but doesn’t do enough to stand out from the MMORPG crowd.

Many were worried that the game will be regional exclusive to Japan, but we are now learning that this isn’t the case. Additionally, Blue Protocol will also be free to play at launch, which is causing a stir among global MMORPG enthusiasts. Free to play titles are often disliked due to the implementation of optional microtransactions in the cash store that may contain advantageous items in the pay to win category. However in Blue Protocol’s case, we simply do not know if this will happen as the game hasn’t event been pushed into a playable test state yet.

Speaking of which, this month some 50,000 Japanese players will be the first few lucky folk that gets to play the MMORPG, as Blue Protocol will conduct a 4-day Japanese closed beta test. Since there will be no NDA, expect plenty of gameplay videos on YouTube and elsewhere.
