Astral Terra - First Impressions @ MMORPG

MMORPG has checked out the survival sandbox RPG Astral Terra:

Astral Terra is an Indie, fantasy-themed sandbox RPG developed by Tethys Interactive that has been in early access on Steam since November 10th. At this stage in its development, Astral Terra is in Alpha and allows players to get a look at the most basic elements of the game with an eye to the future. The future of Astral Terra will include such things as procedurally generated world created by players, complete with survival elements, character progression and much more.

For The Future

The team has a lot of plans for the future that will include a lot more RPG and MMO elements:

• More items to craft
• Mobs(Bloodfiend ready to go, new unique mobs on the way)
• More advanced Combat and Skills
• Multiple armor types
• Additional Character Races(Human, Elemental)
• Character Customization-Changing hair, body type, etc
• Starter Missions
• PVP
• Dungeons and quests
• MOB Factions(friend or foe) and Rewards

For the short amount of time I have played Astral Terra it was fun if a bit challenging for someone who is not well acquainted with construction games of this sort. That said, it has so much potential for people who like to build, construct, create and survive in an open sandbox environment.
