Early Access Review SotA is a daring Crossover with a lot of Joy in Detail and Freedom at Play. There are no Classes so far, character Development is completely left to the People behind it. So a Skill can also be forgotten again, and the reclaimed AP can be invested in another Skill. There are Steampunk Elements as well as a Lot of classic fantasy oriented towards The Ultima Online Series. Crafts is a separate Area with Experience Points and Steps. Player's Interior Houses are a fixed Element, just visiting the Houses on display in the preAlpha can be very interesting. Older Players are known both to the Development Team and to part of the Problem in The company from the Time of Ultima and Ultima Online. Personally, I am very happy to get something from this Side again. So one does not constantly have the Feeling of treading ingame paths, which millions of Others also follow in the same way. Small varied details enliven The Whole thing. For example, Communication is an important Element and NPC's Announcements vary and adapt to the charter's Actions. It is kept entirely in English. The Dialogues are good, there are Phrases that are used to get Tasks or Information, etc. Using utilization means writing and clicking, a Mixture of both. Player events are encouraged and there is currently quite a bit of Activity. The Combat System offers interesting Options. The Battle is Made with a pulled Weapon and a Deck of Action Cards. This Deck can be used in two Ways: Either Selected cards are installed firmly in the Deck, which costs more Focus, or a certain Number of selected actions randomly pops up in the Deck and can be triggered, which costs less Focus and long after Getting used to it Fight also makes solo against strong Opponents possible. Casual Players will be happy about that. Fight Animations are good, the Sounds could still be worked on. There's PvP. Those who have the most pressing Hardware and have quick IT Access can play in the higher Graphics settings, which looks great, Users of older Devices unfortunately have to turn down quite a bit. There is the Solo online option, which helps with storage Problems at Least in part. The Cards and Instances are loaded frequently, which annoys with slow Connections. The Game is still in the preAlpha, so you're adjusting to Problems with bugs, Disconnections and the like more. Those who like classic Fantasy from the Pen of Lord British are the perfect one here. So If you can live with it having Fun on a Construction Site, look in. It's worth it.
