NCsoft’s Aion: The Tower of Eternity is one of the most interesting. This game is fully new high-fantasy MMORPG that has developed in Korea. The developers have noted that this RPG game is to be designed and aimed at a worldwide market. The game uses the same Crytek engine which has been used in the FPS game Far Cry in order to produce some extremely colorful and lush environments and that is full of fully physics-based elements like water, for example, which will slow down characters trying to slog through it.
The greenery in the forest and wetlands environments of the game is pretty thick and the player models are adorned in very ornate armor that exhibits a very Korean or Eastern sensibility in character design. The weather effects in the game are also there, and these gives the real effect on gameplay by using fire-based attacks in a driving rain, for example, it won’t be as effective, while using water-based attacks in the same type of weather can make those spells even stronger.
