Arcane Fans That Don’t Click with League of Legends Should Try This MMO

Arcane raised the bar for video game adaptations by providing a captivating interpretation of League of Legends‘s backstory, centering around Zaun and Piltover. However, delving into the intricacies of Arcane‘s narrative has its drawbacks, as it offers an adventure that cannot be replicated within League of Legends, which is predominantly a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) rather than an immersive Role-Playing Game (RPG) or Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO).

As an avid fan, I’ve come to realize that the explosive popularity of Arcane didn’t seem to draw in new League of Legends players. It appears that fans might not be eager to invest their time into the MOBA format, especially when it comes to either grinding a battle pass or spending real money for Arcane-themed skins for Champions. Moreover, League of Legends has a reputation for being a toxic game due to its highly competitive nature, which doesn’t help matters. However, if you’re still yearning for a game that captures the magicpunk vibe, developer Nuverse Games has rolled out a new MMO just for you: Crystal of Atlan.

Crystal of Atlan Brings Together Magic and Technology

In essence, the primary focus of the series, “Arcane,” revolves around the complex blending of magic, technology, and science in the cities of Piltover and Zaun. The narrative unfolds as it explores how this unique fusion impacts the lives and decisions of their citizens and leaders. The competition for control over this power is a recurring theme, often depicted through Jayce’s efforts to integrate magic with Piltover’s technology, and Viktor’s use of Arcane to construct his ideal society. With its engaging storyline, adrenaline-fueled action sequences brilliantly brought to life by Fortiche, “Arcane” is a standout series that any fan of “League of Legends” or newcomers should watch at least once.

To clarify, League of Legends isn’t similar to Arcane as the former is not a story-based role-playing game (RPG). Instead, the new free-to-play game Crystal of Atlan offers an exciting magicpunk MMO action RPG experience, much like Arcane, by integrating magic and machinery into its gameplay and narrative. Upon starting the game, players can pick from one of the five main classes in Crystal of Atlan. As they progress, their character develops further into various subclasses, catering to diverse play styles. This includes choosing between melee attacks, ranged damage, or magical spells, ensuring a suitable class for every gaming preference.

Class Subclasses
Swordsman
  • Magiblade
  • Berserker
Musketeer
  • Bounty Hunter
  • Gunner
Fighter
  • Cloudstrider
  • Starbreaker
Magister
  • Elementalist
  • Magician
  • Warlock
Puppeteer
  • Scythguard
  • Blademaiden

In the magical realm adrift on Atlan, the narrative of “Crystal of Atlan” unfolds as different factions scramble for possession of an enigmatic artifact brimming with limitless magical power. Armed with potent weapons and advanced technologies, a chosen few must collaborate to face off against these formidable factions, monstrous creatures, and reveal the mysteries of Atlan in order to restore tranquility to the world. This tale bears a striking resemblance to “Arcane” as numerous characters harness and covet Hextech magic to fulfill their desires.

Regarding gameplay mechanics, Crystal of Atlan doesn’t force players to delve into dungeons for material collection to enhance their character or craft superior equipment. Instead, it offers stages where players can engage in both solo and team challenges, ensuring a rewarding progression system that enables players to customize their playstyle according to different tactics.

The fighting style in Crystal of Atlan resembles games such as Tales of Arise and Persona 5 Strikers, both being party-based action games that allow players to control characters with distinct abilities aimed at exploiting enemies’ vulnerabilities. In a way, Genshin Impact enthusiasts might find a sense of familiarity in its fast-paced combat and vivid graphics during battles. Unlike other gacha games where characters are obtained, Crystal of Atlan offers skins, pets, and titles as rewards for players to enhance their units.

Amidst a sea of assorted gacha games, Crystal of Atlan distinguishes itself with its unique magicpunk motifs and MMO gameplay mechanics that empower players to customize their characters as they see fit. With Nuverse Games planning additional content in the pipeline, there’s plenty more territory for adventurers to traverse when delving into the realm of Atlan.
