Honestly, most of the voice acting is awful. It is not the worst I have heard, but it is not that far off. Carmen’s voice oversvoiceovers are pretty awful most of the time. Once you “land” and fight off a few enemies, the first NPC introduced is Carmen. I have spent so much time on the prologue so far because from there, the story goes downhill unless you like hearing about the faction war or want to make fun of the voice acting. Then it suffers from a common writing trope where the powerful/experienced character, whose allies went out of their way to rescue, is suddenly brought low and no longer has all his powerful capabilities. The prologue made me feel powerful and that my people are on a grand journey trying to reach Elyon when the unexpected happens.

In the energy discharge, the ship does… something… maybe crashes? The character is thrown free and plummets from the sky towards the first zone/area. Unfortunately, a mechanical dragon shows up and causes the MacGuffin to pop. It is not a new concept by any means, but the creature design does a lot to sell it in Elyon, and the player is constantly moving from combat to combat, which keeps the action at a high level.Įventually, the character draws energy from the ship tree/power source into a small trinket/amulet to help destroy the invaders. While fighting off the invaders, players encounter various machine corrupted enemies which are capable of infecting allies.


The tutorial effectively gets players started, and at this point, doesn’t interfere with the narrative too much. The story does a decent job of ratcheting up the excitement as the player then makes their way through a ship under siege.Ĭombat early on is a bit dull but picks up quickly within the first few levels as class abilities are unlocked.

At the start of the prologue, a rescue team arrives to break a cocoon trapping the hero. As an Ontari, right out of the gate, the character is put into the action on the ship Inventus.
