New MMORPG will be released in January – Comes with an interesting combat system

The new MMORPG Broken Ranks now officially has a release date. It will be out on January 25th. The game already convinced in trailers with an interesting combat system and the promise of varied dungeons and raids. We at MeinMMO summarize everything important for you.

What kind of game is this? Broken Ranks is a new Free2Play MMORPG from an ISO perspective, similar to Lost Ark. You move through a landscape that looks like a painting and doesn’t offer as much depth as classic 3D MMORPGs. The game will only be released for the PC.

The combat system is also special, because it is turn-based. As soon as you attack a monster in the open world, you are brought into a separate battle screen. There you have 10 seconds each round to choose a skill and a type of defense.

The same combat system also applies to enemies in dungeons, bosses or players in PvP.

Broken Ranks would like to offer the following game content:

  • A dark story told non-linearly
  • 7 different classes
  • Group content such as dungeons and raids
  • Guilds
  • PvP content, but it takes place in specific areas
  • Crafting and trading between players

The game is being developed by a Polish indie studio and you can watch the first gameplay from the beta in this video from YouTuber MadMaster:
