Key information
Aion 2 has launched as a free-to-play MMO featuring engaging combat and challenging boss encounters. A standout feature for Eurogamer writer is the detailed character creator, which offers numerous adjustable settings for tweaking facial features, adventurous hair styles, and facial markings.
The game allows players to craft unconventional characters, such as a tiny hero with bright red eyes and green hair, contrasting with the otherwise serious narrative tone of grave threats and devilish forces.
Eurogamer notes that customisation extends to pets collected by defeating enemies, which serve as mounts like the broad-build Krall Laborer. The author also spent over £20 of real-world money on premium cosmetics, specifically a loose-fit streetwear outfit.
Additionally, smaller characters benefit from fast-paced action mechanics, vaulting over low barriers and logs with notable dexterity. Publisher NCSoft is bringing the sequel globally this year following strong early access sales.
