Atlantica Online Tbs Review

The new Troy patch was recently released in Atlantica, and with it came the TBS (Tactical Battle System) mobe that allows the player to play a different type of gameplay that resembles a chess game.

In this gameplay feature the player can move their mercenary's like chess pieces and up to 3 players can join the game for better success rate and more fun. The classes have their different moment like a chess game where the cannon moves slow but has a long range or like a swordsman where he has long movement and close combat.




In my opinion this TBS gameplay mode was a success because, like how Atlantica Online
 has its fighting style like Final Fantasy games and a house like Sims game this new game mode that resembles a chess game is unique and you wont find it in any other online game, and from winning this TBS mode the player will be rewarded boxes that when opened or sold the player can get in-game gold to help him in equipping.

This Video Shows a TBS Skirmish match, where you can see how the movement affects each different class and it revolves around tactical gameplay.

Atlantica Online Review

Welcome To Atlantica Online Review.

 Here I will talk about some of the game in general.

The player can choose from nine different classes and customize their appearance. Atlantica Online is a type of turn based game where each player has up to 30 seconds to decide with which mercenary he/she is going to take action with.







The player can have up to 8 mercenaries in his formation, but can have more mercenaries stored in the merc room or house. The gameplay style resembles the gameplay of games like Final Fantasy.









You can have a house like the Sims games which was recently added to the game and in here you can store your mercenary's, sleep, use farm and so you can have up to 12 extra mercenary's.

Like in many other MMO's, in this Game you can join a guild in which the guild can hold a city/town or fight a war to try to win a city/town and then the guild can create a nation that can lead more than 6 other guild together. Each Guild can hold up to 50 peoples.









A unique feature in this game is that the player can craft his own items for example, the player can craft swords, armors, bows etc... The players can even use the fishing feature and cooking feature.

Atlantica Online focuses on 3 different Class styles that are:

Melee Class Style consists of Power Saw, Axe, Sword and Spear.
Sword
can hold a sword and shield or a and can hit only 1 mob.
Axe 
can only hold one axe and can hit 3 mobs in the first row.
Spear
can only hold one spear and can hit 2 mobs in the first column.
Power Saw  
can hold a chainsaw and can can hit 3 mobs in the first row.







Range Class Style consists of Archers, Gunners, Artillerymans and Musician.
Archers
can hold a bow and can hit 1 mob anywhere.
Gunners
can hold a gun and can hit 3 mobs in a row.
Artillerymans
can hold a cannon and can hit 5 mobs cross shape.
Musician
can hold a guitar and can hit 2 mobs in a column.






Staff Class Style consists of magic users that consists in healing or damage dealing.

Healing
the healing mercenary's are Shaman, Monk, Oracle and princess. They have skills that are beneficial to the party and support the party by healing or removing negative magic.
Damage Dealing
the damage dealing mercenary's are Elementalist, Sorceress and Witch. They have skills that does't support the party, but instead they do AOE(Area Of Effect) damage that does a decent amount of damage to all enemies.






In my opinion this game will attract most of the players who like to play turn-based strategy online games, you have the selection of up to 16 different mercenary's to choose from. Some players may like the house feature that has been released recently where a player can buy a house and fill it with stuff like a bed, chair, table etc... For now this game is unique, meaning that there isn't an online turn-based game in the world like this, not like the games other common MMO games. 






This is a game play video of Atlantica Online that starts from the character selection and then continues to show some of its game play content. 


I rate this game 9.5/10 for its uniquely gameplay style and user support.
