Asta open beta begins in Korea, gameplay vids abound
Remember Asta: The War of Tears and Winds? MMO Culture does, and the fan site has posted a handful of gameplay videos from the fantasy title's Korean open beta. Asta is powered by CryEngine 3, and MMO Culture refers to it as a "traditional point-and-click MMORPG" as well as "the Asian World of Warcraft." The open beta just started yesterday, so be sure and click past the cut for a look at all the early footage.
Check out ten minutes of Asta game footage
The folks at Asta: The War of Tears and Winds are probably hoping that Mists of Pandaria players will crave even more Asian World of Warcraft action as evidenced by a new video that shows off the game's looks and combat. It's a lengthy 10-minute tour that begins with character creation (why are MMO characters so fidgety, anyway?) and progresses through several zones with an emphasis on battles, scenery, and East Asian designs. Asta's been in the making for quite some time now and features a gorgeous look powered by the CryEngine 3. Check out the new footage after the jump and see whether this might tempt you to put your current game down in the future. [Thanks to Paul for the tip!]
New Asta gameplay clips revealed at G-Star 2012
Just when you thought there couldn't be any more interesting MMOs hailing from Korea and this week's G-Star 2012 convention, along comes Asta. Actually the full title is Asta: The War of Tears and Winds, and it's a game we've had one eye on since 2011. MMO Culture calls it an "Asian World of Warcraft," and this is borne out in the new trailer and gameplay clips released today. Hangame has built Asta on the CryEngine 3, and the game eschews the new hotness of action MMO combat for a more traditional tab-targeting system. Get a load of some gameplay footage after the cut.
