Aura you ready? Aura Kingdom Open Beta Begins Today

In the early days of Free MMORPGs, cute anime-inspired MMOs ruled the land. Much like the dinosaur however, this breed of MMO has seen a steady decline as F2P became more widely accepted in the west and MMO developers begin to branch out towards new themes. Among the tides of change, developer X-Legend has persisted, launching several of the most popular anime styled MMOs in the last few years. Their latest title, Aura Kingdom, was just released in the West today under publisher Aeria Games and goes a long ways towards proving Anime MMOs are still alive and kicking.

Having just completed its closed testing phase, where Aeria announced players logged nearly 1,000,000 hours of gameplay, Aura Kingdom's open beta is now available to everyone. If you happen to jump in during the Open Beta, Aeria Games is currently hosting special events each day of the week including special boss summons and a game of hide and go seek with the devs. Participating in these events will earn the player a host of prizes including Loyalty Points (used in Aura Kingdom's cash shop).

More information can be found regarding Aura Kingdom's Open Beta by visiting the official site here.

In my opinion, I think Aura kingdom has good graphics and an interesting story , you'll enjoy at first , even if you have to endure the constant maintenance that last for hours , then from level 50 you 'll get bored because everything becomes repetitive, even you have to keep in mind that during the maintenance you can lose your eidolons (which are the companions that help you during the game - dragons, fairies - etc ) , your clan, team or even your own character, so they will say that , you should send a ticket with your complaints and the evidence of your lost things (that means that think that you should take pictures of your staff all the time) , but at the end they will do nothing at all and if in case, they do anything, they will send you things that do not serve anything all to your account and noted: "Our apologies for the inconvenient this is Causing you .
Best regards,
Team Aura Kingdom
Which not only happens to one person, it happen thousands of players in Aura Kingdom . So, in a nutshell, if you want to play Aura kingdom is up to you, because if during the game you have any problem, they will not fix it and only just get you bored faster.
" Best regards"

Game is good, nothing new but the whole package is being executed well so the game feels solid. Worth trying out if you want to, you lose nothing right.

Game is MEH..

Nothing that hasn't been done before.

Spam 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, hotkeys.

Game has auto route to everything. Click quest, auto run to location done.

Only costumes shows up. Found epic dungeon armor, too bad you still look like everyone else.

Mounts are useless. You can double jump then glide.

Bad game is bad.
Plus you have to deal with tons of SAO fanboys while ingame, so there's two reasons why anyone would be better off avoiding it.

Okay first of all the graphics for anime games have a limit so ppl stop complaining about graphics next yah the skill system is recycled but those games it took it from don't have a good pet system like this one as such with the combo pet&player idea and if u dont like it okay but its not shit i know it has nothing new but the game overall is "good" if i were to rate it it would be around a 7.5/10

Leave it to the weeaboos to play this game thinking it's Sword Art Online. Wake up weeaboos; you will never be Kirito and this game will never be SAO no matter how hard you want it to be. Goddamn japanophile weeaboo trash.

Game was able to hold my attention long enough for me to even get to lvl 40 ( which was the content cap in closed beta) so It's not as bad as all these naysayers are crying about.

You don't like the game fine. You said what you needed to say now just drop it.

no offense to anyone, but this game is a bit over hyped. After 6 months to a year i can see people saying that its boring as crap .-., hell i played eden eternal for like a year and got level 71. then the grind became boring as crap. So did the grind this much gold for this. Then grind this much gold for that. Then if your lucky enough and actually get that certain. which with my experience with eden eternal, TAKES EFFING FOREVER!!! im not bashing the game, just giving some advice .-.

relax you underdeveloped mongrels, the game is ok, i like it, worth playing for a while, nothing special, this guy rjc523 who defends the game in every post should think what will happen in a few months - the cash shop will ruin the game

Played it up to lvl 21. Just as people before me have mentioned it's just another generic anime game. The item shop is just as abusive as it has always been with x-legend/aeria games games and overall it just made me go meh.

this game is garbage. Trash graphics from 2008. Trash generic story (oh yea asians can't think of their own lore). Trash end game. Trash overall and absoulutly nothing new. It just attract the weabos because it ripped off shit from a shitty anime. Typical asian shit. Don't waste your time or money.

I actually don't mind this game all that much. I've put a couple of hours into it. If your looking for the latest and greatest thing since sliced bread then this certainly isn't gonna be your cup of tea. As far as anime style MMOs go, graphically you're not going to get passed a certain point 99% of the time and most of the effort is actually going(or at least SHOULD) into actual gameplay, which in the end is mute if you don't even like how the game looks. And yeah, Aura Kingdom is pretty generic as far as MMOs go but at this point in my life cycle I find everything generic in one way or another so I just play what I enjoy playing and leave it at that.

Actually when I saw the first trailers of this game I liked what I saw. I think the anime style graphics look great and the skill animations are awesome. Nothing new about this game but its not that bad. Only thing I didnt like is that the "open world" doesnt look so "open". Everything is so close and full of stuffs that the glide ability (that I think its awesome too) is useless. Cant Feel Myself in a big World like in Aion, Tera or Rift.

I'm playing this game for sure, but one thing. This game kinda looks like a rip off of elsword... Like in the beginning the town looks like elder and the "light pillar" or what ever looks like the tree of el. Not only that the girl buying the mini harp resembles Rena from the elsword series, not only that. The giant orange monster (im going to assume its a dragon) honestly closely resembles how Elsword's 7-5 (Sandtilus) dungeon opens. And the dude in the market place with thugs with the purple hair & beard along with the darker skin resembles the NPC Emirate from elsword, fairly close.
