Like almost every MMO game, TERA: The Exiled Realm of Arborea for PS4, PC and XONE focuses on character creation and progression. There are eight races available, among which we will find humans and elves, but also some designed specially for the game: the demonic Castanics, giants-related Baraka, the Amani, and the panda bear-resembling Popori. There are twelve classes available: Warrior, Lancer, Berserker, Sorcerer, Slayer, Archer, Priest, Mystic, Reaper, Gunner, Brawler, and Ninja.

The effects of our attacks are based on our positioning aginst the enemies. Thus, in terms of combat, TERA has a lot in common with arcade games. That is why full gamepad compatibility was present in the game since launch day.
