Remnants of Skystone

Remnants of Skystone is a free to play, action side scrolling massive multi-player online game with a unique visual style and addictive game play. Remnants of Skystone was developed by Flipline Studios and launched on march 22, 2010. A long time ago the mysterious Skystone floated above the land of Etherea until one day it shattered. In its explosion the Skystone released a noxious poison known as Haze upon the world below and created evil creatures known as Mimics. Together these forces destroyed the land and forced citizens to live in floating cities in the sky. Now, 200 years later, three different factions fight to reclaim the land they once called home and return the people to Etherea.

Upon starting a new game players can select to create either a male or female player from one of three very distinct playable classes. Aeronauts are capable of flying through the air using steam powered jet packs and are the ranged class of Remnants of Skystone as they can also fire shots of steam from their arms at far away enemies. Ferrics are a more feral race and have long blades for arms that they can use to not only attack enemies with impressive force but also to scale walls and cross ceilings.

The Crags are the last playable race featured in Remnants of Skystone and have the ability to swing through the air using grappling hooks, and attack from medium range using whips. At the beginning of the game all classes are able to customize their avatars with an assortment of clothing styles and facial features. During the course of the game players may elect to purchase new clothing styles and accessories so only a limited number of options are available for free at the beginning of the game.

Once a character has been created players begin adventuring in single player campaign missions each with its own storyline. As players continue to power up their avatar they begin to open up co-op missions where they can team up with another player to take on even more challenging quests and missions for more impressive rewards. The side scrolling action is always fast paced, and the unique “steam punk” visual style is always pleasing to the eyes. Enemy models are always top notch and fit the setting well.

Remnants of Skystone is an exciting MMO with lots of potential.
