Tabula Rasa (PC)

Guide Note:

Tabula Rasa is a shooter/MMORPG being developed by Destination Games and published by NCSoft.

Story

Tabula Rasa takes place in the future. An evil raced called Bane is trying to destroy all the planets in order to eliminate the human race. Survivors band together in a ragtag team called the Allied Free Sentients (AFS) in order to face against powerful alien soldiers, mechs, and monsters. It's destroy or be destroyed.

Gameplay

Characters can completely customize their characters from facial attributes to their classes. There are 8 different classes to choose from separated into combat and support types. Although you can't change professions of your character the game allows you to clone your character with your level and experience and choose a different profession. Combat is controlled similar to a third-person shooter. The mouse is used to look, the buttons fire your weapons or perform special abilities. The two hotbars are Q and E which allow you to cycle through the various abilities and weapons. Like other RPGs you can explore the world and kill the various critters that are on the world. Tabula Rasa offers other types of battles, in the form of Bane attacks on bases. These occur randomly and without warning. If you succeed in destroying the invading army you regain control of the base and gain access to certain missions. You also gain tokens for kills during these assaults. Most of the game centers around missions and quests rather than random encounters and is equivalent to most MMORPGs.
