second day of the zenith beta has been good. yesterday i was leveling the dps role for blademaster but switched to support for better soloing. the classes can switch between dps/tank/support and have to level each individually, which limits your equipment so you can't just get good shit and level your low roles
graphics are very bare minimum, a bit cartoony but not enough to be unappealing. the experience for the most part has reminded me of krpg, you go to an area for the story quest then kill mobs to fulfil, move to the next area. combat for blademaster is straightforward with triggers activating your block or abilities, you have a cadence skill which triggers on each third strike as well. vertical/horizontal strikes are how you choose between abilities that you attach to them
climbing and gliding have been the highlight, advance gliding changes things so that the angle of your hands change your angle of attack allowing you to be precise and glide for long distances. there's also a cooking station you can summon anywhere and create foods by chopping/simmering/combining
