Free games are always great and in the case of a massive multiplayer online game, not having to pay anything to enjoy the experience is an absolute joy. This is the kind of feeling that PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners can experience right now with TERA. This MMO is a fantasy-based, action game that costs absolutely nothing to play.
Developed by En Masse Entertainment, the studio announced that the MMO designed for consoles can now be downloaded via the PlayStation Store or the Microsoft Store, PlayStation Lifestyle reports. After downloading and installing the game, players can just jump right in without any need for payment or jumping over any other obstacle.
“Coming off a highly successful head start, Tera is ready for the masses to dive in and experience a true console MMORPG,” the company’s Senior Product Manager, Matt Denomme said. “The development team at Bluehole has taken great care to ensure that Tera on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One retains all the depth of an MMO, along with visceral action combat and an intuitive user interface.”
Among the biggest issues that gamers have had with regards to MMO games on consoles is the matter of the interface. On a PC, there are numerous keys that can be assigned to perform individual tasks, which makes everything so much easier. On a gamepad, the options are much more limited and actions can take longer to perform.
With the streamlined controls of TERA for consoles, this becomes less of an issue, Bleeding Cool notes. This is particularly important for a game like this, which is known for its fast-paced combat as well. Players never want to be caught being unable to perform certain actions because they need to bring up a menu in the middle of a battle instead of just hitting a trigger to cast a spell.
