RPGvault serves up some first impressions from a hands-on experience with German developer Intent's online combat RPG Astonia III.
Here's a snip:
After downloading Astonia 3, you can then create an account with up to 25 characters. Players can choose between male and female human characters with two class choices available, Warrior and Mage. Warriors are said to be an easier path compared to Mages, who don't seem to grow powerful until higher levels. Interestingly, the initial character creation process is completely web-based, consisting of simply choosing a name, gender and class. As far as customizing the outward appearance of your character, each gender, class and weapon type all have distinct looks, yet different armors and clothing do not show up on the characters when equipped. Despite the lack of armor options, the color of your character's hair, as well as the color of the torso armor and leggings of each character can be changed at any time with keyboard commands.
