Seven Character Classes

Taking control of an exile, players can play as one of the seven character classes including Scion, Templar, Ranger, Shadow, Witch, Duelist, and Marauder. In the game, a player controls a character from an overhead perspective and explores extensive, outdoor, areas, battling monsters and fulfilling quests from NPCs (non-player characters) to get equipment and experience points.
Inspired by Diablo Series
The game borrows heavily from the Diablo series, particularly in Diablo II. Almost all the areas aside from the central encampments are generated randomly to boost re-playability. While on the other side, all the players on a single server can freely get connected in encampments, gameplay outside of encampments is extremely instanced. It enables players to choose from seven available classes to play and each of these classes is aligned with one/two of the three core attributes including intelligence, strength, and dexterity.
