Alicia Online (aka Project Alice) by GameTree is an online fantasy horse racing game currently getting ready to be released in Korea and I mentioned it in this post, where you can find game’s videos before. We – who joined its Korean beta or just saw the videos and loved the game – are all curious if this game is going to be released on English and when will that happen. I know from the statistics that many people come to this blog searching for Alicia Online English release news, and here i have some for you!
Just a quick notice: Prius Online English version, which is being made by GPotato, has a promo website right here. And it says the following: “Coming Spring 2011. Be one of First 10,000 people to “Like” us and win an Epic Mount for free!”. Did you get that? Spring 2011! Don’t know about you, but i’m getting the Epic Mount ASAP! The Prius Online Facebook page also mentions the epic mount give-away. (more…)
I have seen a huge boost in incoming visitors after posting about Lime Odyssey being scheduled for release by Aeria Games. To tell the truth, I’ve totally missed out this game – had not played it in either closed or open beta, and barely even heard of it before Aeria came out of the shadows. So, I’ve done some digging around Korean and Japanese forums and blogs to make up for my unawareness, and here is an averaged out opinion of those who had played it during Korean beta testing phases, combined with my own opinion, based on videos, screenshots and available information. Consider it a preview, because, like, who else will tell us about it, other than beta-testers? Beta-testers do not lie (Square Enix is learning to understand that now). (more…)
Here comes another foreign game I’d like to play – ARGO Online. It has been released in Korea just recently and raised a lot of hype, because this game combines both fantasy and steampunk settings in one world.
What they say: “Aeria Games is excited to be working with Sirius Entertainment on the launch of Lime Odyssey,” said Lan Hoang, CEO of Aeria Games. “The Sirius team has, for the last few years, poured their hearts and souls into the development of Lime Odyssey and the final result is a beautiful, well-balanced MMORPG, with a unique combination of rich role-playing features and robust gameplay. We expect it to be one of the best games of 2011.” Underlined by me. Come on, robust gameplay and Aeria Games in the same paragraph?! They must be living in a parallel world where people still buy such blatant and lame advertising. Double /facepalm, indeed. Also, there are people from Ragnarok Online development team working on this title. Check the screenshots under the cut. (more…)
Prius Online (also known as Anima Online) by CJ Internet is the first “emotional mmo” out there. They called it emotional because the standard pet system we have in every game out there had received a tremendous boost here, so you don’t just own a pet, you must raise it and take care. And instead of some animal pet you have a girl called Anima, with her own needs and something that we can count as basic personality (in long-term your actions form her character – she will respond according to how you treat her). It’s already released for Japan and Taiwan, and is currently being translated to English. The game has a beautiful graphics (look behind the cut for the screenshots and gameplay video) and very interesting gameplay. (more…)
