Atlantica Online has honestly amazed me from the first time I played the game in CB1. The game went through three Closed Beta phases and is now currently in Open Beta, which shows that the developers actually care about the game and want to make it as bug-free as they possibly can. I've paid close attention to how the developers react with the community when they don't like something. A prime example would be the stamina system. They did a great job incorporating the stamina system into the game and fixing it's flaws with the communities help. This just shows me that they care about the community, unlike many other developers for other games out there.
The game is turn-based, which differentiates it from other games and is the reason I've grown to love the game so much. It's just a completely new genre of gaming compared to your point-and-click games. Atlantica also has so many things to offer in-game. Great game play, a great market system, guilds, nations, guild dungeons, nation dungeons, shadow dungeons, PvP (Player vs Player), PvM (Player vs Monster), crafting, many characters to choose from, etc. I will be going over some of the major points during my review of the game.
As previously stated, the game is a turn-based game. Many people may think that it's a slow-paced game because of this, but it's not. You can hire up to 8 Mercenaries along with your main character that you create at the beginning. You control all of them during battles.
There is also an in-game encyclopedia, at least that's what I like to call it. You can find a ton of information from it, from NPC locations, to item information, to mercenary information, etc. It proves to be extremely helpful in many situations.
Currently some maps are not available, but will eventually be released, such as North America. You can travel across all of these towns, countries, continents during your game. There's also a Travel Agency in every town, which provides you with teleporting services to any towns you have been to in the past.
