Allods - New game from GAla-Net

About Allods
Allods is a revolutionary massively multiplayer RPG from Gala-Net, publishers of Flyff and Rappelz, and Astrum Nival, developer of Heroes of Might & Magic V and Rage of Mages. The largest game development project in Russian history ($12 million), Allods features state of the art graphics by top award-winning artists and a cinematic soundtrack by Mark Morgan (Dexter, Fallout 1 & 2, Planescape: Torment). The game is one of the largest and most comprehensive MMORPGs ever created, featuring a vast and gorgeously realized world, astral space exploration, and flying ships which can be crewed by multiple parties to explore new realms and pillage other astral travelers. Allods won the Best Game 2009 & Audience Choice awards from the Russian Game Developers Conference.



The game features an unprecedented level of detail for an MMORPG—2 warring factions, 6 races, 8 archetypes, 28 classes, hundreds of skills, and over 1,500 quests. Its visuals were designed by artists who won the 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 10th place awards at Dominance War, one of the most prestigious global art competitions, in both the 2D and 3D categories. All of the animations are motion captured, and the Allods 3D game engine was developed entirely in-house. The orchestral soundtrack, composed by Mark Morgan and rising star Vladislav Isaev, was inspired by classical, electronica, new age, and tribal musical genres. An immense amount of content is featured in the game: raiding and dungeon instances, pets, balanced PvP, a crafting system designed as mini-games, dozens of astral islands (Allods), and numerous other features. The story spans a series of games published over 11 years beginning with Rage of Mages, featuring a background history remarkable in its complexity and depth.

Allods is being published in English, French, and German by Gala-Net and Gala Networks Europe, one of the largest global operators of free-to-play MMORPGs, and will be completely free-to-play. Allods is being developed by Astrum Nival, formerly Nival Online, the largest developer and operator of MMORPGs in Russia. The game is expected to launch in Winter 2009.

Looks like my pc can't handle it. ^^

Aaaaaaaaaaaand I have too much fun in Rappelz to just jump games. ^^

But whoever tries it out is appreciated to send screenshots,
I wanna see how much the amors look like Rappelz.

Cos in the previous screenshots, the guy looked like r2 hunter -
and the spellcaster like an r6 darkmage. ^^

I actually went to muck around in Allods when the first closed beta came out~ I didn't get very far since I like Rappelz too much, but it was a lot of eye-candy and it was fun, so it might be something neat to try if Sally server is down or something.

Here's my Elf Demonologist (a magical pet summoner class for the League side):


Beating the snot out of this poor crab:


And my Arisen Heretic (the healer class for the Empire side)


As I mentioned earlier, I didn't get far at all, so the armors on my chars are the newbie armors you get from the quests right out of the gate~ I'm sure the higher ones look even better. ^^

iv seen a game what look'd like this once =o. whats the game play like?

I dunno how much I can say since I didn't get too far, but it's pretty nice and well thought-out from what I saw. There isn't any auto-attack, and you have to be facing the mob in order to attack it, so you can't just sit and tab-f1. There are a lot of quests to do different things, and there seems to be an interesting storyline. Compared to Rappelz the combat is reaaaaaally slow, though~ mobs take ages to die (on the plus side, mobs take ages to do damage to you as well). And of course, not having to chip every mob is a bonus (this is pretty much every game except Rappelz though, from what I've seen).

And lol, Sos~ It's pretty yummy, isn't it?

Gala-net can't pop out another with rappelz's looks, and since I play the games for the graphics XD i'd rather play Lineage or Aion
