Crystal of Atlan’s magicpunk world is being consumed by an otherworldly corruption that turns ordinary folks into monsters. To stop it, team up with larger-than-life characters and explore sprawling caverns and floating cities. Form a fleet with friends—complete with your own airship—to tackle co-op challenges, or take your strongest hero into PvP battles.

What we love: The electrifying combat. With five character types and a dozen subclasses to choose from, you can slay monsters with blades, bullets—even a magic motorcycle. Launch foes in the air, juggle them with strikes and spells, then unleash a finisher to put ’em down for the count. The sky’s the limit!

Quick tip: Head to the options menu and switch to a different character at any time—you’ll instantly resume where that hero left off. It’s an effective way to experience each adventurer’s unique skills, like the Magiblade’s cataclysmic sword tornado or the Warlock’s flock of corrupted crows.

Meet the creator: Hong Kong–based Nuverse is made up of ’90s-born gamers who came of age during the golden era of massively multiplayer online RPGs. Crystal of Atlan’s hovering cities were inspired in part by legendary animated filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki’s Castle in the Sky.
