Spellgear

SpellGear is an action role-playing game set in Astarma, an open world of two islands divided by portals and torn by a long-running war between two Houses. You explore, take quests, fight creatures and other players, and decide whether to join a House or become a freebooter. Its combat uses manually aimed attacks, while arenas range from duels to battlegrounds for up to 128 players.

Combat and equipment

Combat is non-target: you choose the direction of each attack, and hits depend on your accuracy and skill. You can dodge with somersaults, block and repel enemies. Weapons and equipment are not bound to particular players, so you can trade or swap them with other players even during combat. You can develop skills with different weapons to create varied character builds.

Astarma and its factions

Astarma has two large islands, connected by portals created through eldritch sorcery. It contains diverse creatures and inhabitants, quests, characters, enemies, places to explore and mysteries to solve, as well as dynamic day and night cycles. You choose from several magically inclined classes when you begin exploring.

The two Houses have fought a seemingly endless war since ancient times, and PvP clashes can break out across the open world. New players are relatively safe from members of the warring Houses until they choose a side. The main quest chain for the first battle rank helps you learn about Astarma before deciding whether to join a House or become a freebooter, a mercenary whose dangerous work can be lucrative. The game also has daily tasks and in-game events hosted by House leaders.

Quests and rewards

Crusades take you into dangerous places where you can earn loot, treasures, items and weapons. You can sell unwanted loot at auction. When your bag is full, you can store your possessions in your own home.

Battle ranks serve as the equivalent of levels in a classic role-playing game: raising your rank makes you stronger and faster. Dungeons support parties of three, four or five players, who can explore together in random or pre-assembled groups.

Arenas and groups

Arenas include modified MOBA modes such as Domination, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag, as well as MOBA arenas with Towers, Minions and Bases. Other options include MMORPG-style battlegrounds for up to 128 players and dueling arenas for two or four. A PvP Hub lets you chat with friends, enter arenas and lead your clan with almost no risk of being killed.

You can form small groups or clans with friends and other players. Each clan has its own name, motto and coat of arms, and joining one provides features and benefits. The game also has auctions and an in-game economy in which you can earn money through trade.
