Atlantica just ended it’s closed beta. Most of game play involves your characters running around killing X number of monsters for some quest. While it sounds boring the combat aspect is very interesting. You can recruit a handful of various characters through out the game and use them to create a party of 9 individuals which you use to fight turn based battles. If anyone on the battle field is hit 3 times in a row they become stunned and can’t attack for a few turns, which adds an additional strategy element. I’m a little on the fence about the equipment aspect of the game. Equipment is mostly acquired through monster drops and in order to upgrade your equipment you need 2 items that are the same and an upgrade item which is fairly easy to acquire. This can get a bit tedious once your equipment becomes +3 or +4 and your inventory is bursting with generic equips just so you can gain a level. Overall I found the game entertaining and well worth my time.
