First Look – TERA
A lot of you will have played an MMORPG at one time or another, whether it was EverQuest back in the day, World of Warcraft or even Star Wars: The Old Republic more recently, you’ll more than likely have at least dabbled in the genre. TERA is an MMO that’s shaking things up a little bit with a combat system that the developer, Bluehole Studios, is calling a “non-target battle system”.
In this first look we take a look at the second area that players will visit, almost immediately after they’ve been through the starting area (Island of Dawn). We follow Martin’s character Cyber.Grim as he completes some quests, beats up some NPCs and showcases the game’s innovative combat system. Naturally, with TERA being an MMO, we couldn’t possibly fit everything that the game is into a single video, but hopefully you’ll get a good idea about what the game is; as well as what it could be.
Don’t forget, you can find all of GodisaGeek TV‘s featured video content on iTunes and Feedburner, so don’t forget to subscribe!
TERA is due to be released for Windows PC on the 1st May, 2012 in the US and a few days later, on the 3rd May, 2012, in Europe. Players who pre-order the game will be able to get a head start on people that buy the game on release and start getting involved in TERA’s world from the 28th April, 2012.

By day I play video games, test video games or just simply write about them. By night I fight crime on the streets of London as a masked vigilante known only to a select few ... damn SECRET identity. Could never get the hang of that.
I've been writing about video games for about 10 years now, and playing them for even longer, starting off with a Spectrum ZX passed down to me in about 1988. Yes, I used to play games that came on cassettes. Yes, they were AWESOME!
I've been writing for God is a Geek since October 2010 and loving every minute of it, aside from that I write for my own website and work as a video game tester for Testology. So, yeah, I'm pretty much living the life of a gamer, and I don't intend stopping anytime soon thank you very much.
Unless I run out of money, then we might have a problem.
