The game emphasizes action and tactical decision-making over fully automated combat, though the mobile version will include an auxiliary semi-automatic mode. The team also showcased PvE and PvP content with dungeons, raids, and arena battles, plus social features like the Legion House.
Regarding monetization, NCSoft confirmed a focus on cosmetic items and a battle pass, with no loot boxes or transformations. Players can expect deep customization and a robust in-game economy. Following focus tests, community feedback has been largely positive.
