Echo of Soul is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) developed by Korean game developer Nvius and published in North America and Europe by Aeria Games.[1][2]

Open Beta began in South Korea on September 11, 2013, in China on October 31, 2014, and is scheduled to launch in Western territories in Spring 2015.[3][4][5]

Overview

Echo of Soul is a free-to-play fantasy MMORPG. Players take control of adventurers, called Soulkeepers, who are tasked by the gods of the world to combat evil.[6] Players have the unique ability to collect souls from the monsters they kill, which they can then use to customize their character.[7]

The game has a wide array of both PvE and PvP modes. For example, PvE includes solo dungeons, party dungeons, and raids.[8] PvP content includes 5 vs. 5 and 15 vs. 15 battles, as well as guild vs. guild combat in both the open world and a separate instanced battlefield.[9]

Gameplay

The combat system in Echo of Soul does not follow the standard "trinity" in MMOs consisting of tanks, healers, and DPS classes. Players can choose to tank or DPS; there are no dedicated healers. Healing is a group responsibility and strategic party play is critical to success.[10]

There are five classes in the game: Warrior, Guardian, Archer, Rogue, and Sorceress. There are also player professions such as Chef and Alchemist.[11]
