A free-to-play hack-and-slash game
UNDECEMBER is a free action game from LINE Games. This hack-and-slash game can be played solo or in coop multiplayer, putting players into a new fantasy world. Step into the shoes of a Rune Hunter, explore the world, and fight monsters as you farm for weapons, items, and skills. You can take on quests alone or with a party of eight players.
Using high-quality graphics presented in a 3D isometric view, UNDECEMBER visually looks like Diablo III. Its massive skill trees and flexibility for unique builds are comparable to Elden Ring or MIR4.
Be a Rune Hunter
The premise of UNDECEMBER revolves around the classic threat of chaos, this time coming in the form of an Evil God. However, aside from the premise, it completely does away with certain RPG standards, including character classes. There are no classes to choose from—just create your avatar and feel free to mix up the equipment and skills builds. This creates that near-limitless gameplay possibility.
In terms of content, the developers have also prepared hours of gameplay for you to enjoy. For solo players, there is a main storyline divided into Acts, an approach reminiscent of Diablo games. There are also Chaos Dungeons, limited events that are significantly more challenging, as well as Boss Raid dungeons for up to eight players. It also supports PvP mode and building guilds of up to 50 members.
As mentioned, it feels like a cross between the build flexibility of Elden Ring and the visual approach of the Diablo games. The builds, in general, are balanced and make for a good PvP experience, with different styles that fit different players. The only challenge for new players is the steeper learning curve required, as well as the same bugs plaguing the game on other platforms.
Main features
UNDECEMBER features three core gaming elements vital for honing your combat prowess—Zodiac, Rune, and Gear. The Zodiac serves as a progressive system offering diverse build options. Its primary axis, situated at the Zodiac's core, allows for adjustments in Intelligence, Dexterity, and Strength. Additionally, the secondary axis introduces Constellations, which can be activated using trait points, further enhancing gameplay dynamics.
Another main feature is the Rune Cast. Initially, Skill Runes are placed on the Rune Cast, with each accommodating up to six slots. As Skill Runes are equipped, the associated skills become accessible for utilization. Lastly, there's Gear, which allows you to make limitless grade changes through continuous upgrading.
A promising new multiplayer
UNDECEMBER delivers immersive hack-and-slash action, inviting players to explore a fantastical world as Rune Hunters. With solo or multiplayer options, players engage in epic battles against monsters while collecting weapons and skills. Its visually stunning graphics akin to Diablo III and extensive skill trees comparable to Elden Ring promise engaging gameplay. However, its lack of traditional RPG classes and learning curve may challenge new players despite abundant content and flexible character build.
