Game Features
▶ UNCHANGED: The fun of Hack & Slash comes from annihilating countless enemies at once. As a genre where character growth is tied to devastating enemies to obtain new items, the focus was set upon the proposition to “gain strength after wiping out enemies” during development. Stirring away from the typical growth system, players will be able to enjoy completing their own unique builds.
▶ UNDEFINED: Freedom to Select Various Combat Styles. There are no defined classes in UNDECEMBER. Once a character is created after customization, players will be able to freely change around gears and skills based on personal playstyle. Builds are divided into Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence types, but there are no gear or combination restrictions. Players are free to cast magic with a sword or summon minions with a bow, or create any new unique builds of their own.
▶ UNLIMITED: Infinite Combination of Skills. Runes are classified by Skill and Link Runes. Link Runes assist the effects of Skill Runes. These Runes can be equipped in a separate space called the Rune Cast, and can be obtained through farming or by completing quests. Each Rune has levels and grades, which can be upgraded with materials obtained through farming.
▶ UNSTOPPABLE: Never-ending Choice of Contents
– Acts: The main scenario of the game.
– Chaos Dungeon: End-game content available after completing the main scenario.
– Boss Raid: A cooperative content with up to 8 players.
– Crusade of Glory: A free-for-all PvP content.
– Guild: Gather up to 50 members to gain exclusive benefits such as Guild Buffs.
Free-to-play Model
*Undecember is not generally regarded as F2P friendly, but moderately pay to win (P2W), as microtransactions aren’t strictly limited to cosmetic items. In Undecember, item storage and crafting time limitations apply. While some players are not too bothered by it, seeing it as an extra challenge to overcome, many others despise it, especially given the price of the various items sold to alleviate those limitations. Other limitations include paid extra character slots, paid skill point relocation, and paid revive options.
