Epic Game's Unreal Engine is most commonly used for first person experiences, which considering its pedigree as the muscle behind Unreal Tournament, is not too surprising. However when it's leveraged to do something else, the effects can be quite stunning. Like Lost Ark, a game being developed by Smile Gate that uses UE3 to deliver a visually stunning isometric world.
Looking a little like Diablo III with an extra helping of spit and polish, the animations and ‘static' background visuals blend together beautifully in the unveiling trailer which runs for a good eight minutes of eye candy. In it you'll get a taste for some of the game's multitude of enemies, bosses and heroes and how they combat one another. [yframe url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV0wWzDAwJU']
There's ridable robots and dragons, summonable monsters, sync kill animations, skillshot spells, puzzle solving and interactive environments galore as the player(s) hack and slash their way through hordes of enemies, all in stunning detail.
The AI in places looks a little clunky, as it seems quite rare that the monster mobs actually attack the player character, but this game isn't set for release yet. In-fact it's not even set for a beta until some time in 2015. While it's not clear if a Western release will ever happen, it is online based, so there should be nothing but the language barrier stopping anyone from giving it a shot when released.

KitGuru Says: I don't think I'd even care if it turns out to be grind-fest if it's this pretty at release.
I swear to GOD if this game does not come to the Western part of the world, I will cry everynight into my pillow wondering what we did wrong not to get this game.
And when released to the western part of the world, they complain about it being too grindy. XD
It’s a Korean game so it’ll probably have a huge grindwall, but other than that, wow. This game looks awesome, I want to play it super hard. 2015 is gonna be a huge for gaming already, what with all the releases happening early 2015 and then games like this that I might even be able to play without knowing any of what’s happening! I’d play this game in Korean, as confusing as that may be, just to get to play it.
complain or not, they are still playing it. For those that like grindy games (which there are a lot of) we will love this game so much.
Tbh, not releasing a game to an entire part of the world is kinda stupid considering more people to buy your games, which means more money for the developers.
P.S. People will always complain about something in the gaming world. Criticism plays a big role in gaming, so they should expect complaining anyway.
