The second CBT stage is now officially over. We want to thank all the participants for your feedback and endless support. When we were working out in which direction the game should be developed, we relied heavily on your comments and wishes. Thanks to you we have embarked onto the path of radical changes without a hint of doubt or fear! And we hope you will enjoy this path as much as we do.
And now it's time for a little surprise - we're launching FF0.22 straight after FF.019! And no, we haven't lost count: past two updates were purely internal and were dedicated to testing the new changes. With all that said, let's reveal what we have in store for you!
Magic of Dragons
The world of Arkana is saturated with magic. It echoes through every aspect of life, every blade of grass, every creature, taking form of the Flame. When a being ceases to live, its accumulated Flame materializes for other beings to consume. Beware - such act makes every creature stronger and more dangerous! Even the most harmless boar will transform into a dangerous foe if given enough Flame to absorb.
A long time ago, mighty dragons, keepers of the secret to the control over the magic of Flame, shared that knowledge with the humanity. And even now this knowledge permeates keenly in humanity's minds. Use that knowledge to accumulate Flame and use it to charge your attacks or channel flight.
Future updates will expand the choice of magical abilities.
Floating Islands
Once a beautiful world, now soaked in blood and corruption, shattered into pieces and soared to the skies. The surface underneath that used to be a home for Arkana's inhabitants, turned into a lifeless frozen wasteland.
Magical currents flow differently in every world, carrying shattered pieces of the world to various locations, making every new adventure unpredictable and full of surprises. Stories of every world develop in their own way - some will be similar, others will be very different. Everything depends on the magical currents of every unique world.
Choose your Path
Our old character progression system has sunk into oblivion. Now players pick their path through the Ability Tree. All skills and abilities correspond to one of the four Spirits. By combining the boons of these Spirits you can create a truly flexible classes.
Currently only the Spirit of Defenders is available.
Combat System
We've implemented numerous changes to every aspect of combat: from the visual effects and animations all the way to the weapon balance. But, as they say: "One look is worth a thousand words."
Prologue
We have adapted the Prologue, making it more clear for the new players. Now it serves as a basic tutorial section.
