Like any RPG Tom can create a party (of up to 6) to explore with. Waking up you find that things are not as they were made out to be. During this routine run, your ship malfunctions and you crash land on the planet. Taking control of a pilot named Tom, your task is scouting out the planet and figuring out what the atmosphere is like. You are part of a government force that wants to explore this new world and deplete all of its resources, as we humans like to do. The titular Albion is a newly discovered planet.

It is somewhat intended to be a sequel of sorts to the Amber games. Interestingly, the team that created the games Amberstar and Ambermoon created this game in a move from Thalion to Blue Byte. This is particularly useful if players are solo and can’t hop online with a group of friends to make the levelling up process a bit easier.Albion is a science fiction RPG that was developed and published by Blue Byte in 1995 for DOS. Across the world players will find rifts to procedurally generated dungeons where they can duke it out with all sorts of mobs and bosses. Grinding XP isn’t difficult in Albion either. This really helps to make players’ characters feel individual to them. Players can be a mage with heavy armour or a warrior in just a loincloth, if they so choose. In Albion, you are not stuck with one type of armour depending on your class, instead you can wear any combination that you prefer. One aspect of Albion Online that will appeal to looters is the mix and match compatibility with all of the game’s classes and armour types. Learning points gained by completing quests can also be used on the destiny board to essentially skip grinding sections to certain levels. The game has an expansive skill tree, which Albion calls your character’s “destiny board”, and the game does offer players the ability to become proficient in every skill, meaning you won’t need to start a new character just to try out a different skill. Of course, as is the case in any MMO, Albion Online is all about levelling up and getting better gear. The scope of these sections of the world can’t be underplayed, and the sense of adventure and exploration is unmatched in recent MMOs. Starting off on the tutorial island, players will eventually make their way to the game’s two massive continents, the Royal Continent and the Outlands. The world in Albion Online is massive, to say the least. Whether it's stone, ore or wood, players in Albion Online will be constantly farming and crafting to get better gear, trade or complete quests. Here players are shown how to gather the many resources that are sprinkled across Albion’s world, as well as the game’s crafting mechanics, which will be used heavily throughout their playthrough. After creating their character, players will find themselves shipwrecked on an island that acts as the tutorial section.
